Rivals unplayable, WL is going to be even worse

Anyone else been having worse lag & delay this week? I've been having issues all year but after the latest patch it's all downhill. I can't even make a proper pass. My every move is countered since the delay and skill moves is out. I'm at 250/250 and two weeks ago it was all "fine". I had an amazing wl and cruising through div 4 with ease. Is anyone experiencing the same or am I simply being punished by the EA gods?
It's so frustrating that it is so unpredictable.
On top of this I get kiddos with toxicity comments spamming me that I'm ❤️❤️❤️❤️ with a team like that (5 mill squad ish)

Though WL servers seems to be 'better'then rivals... After this week I've decided to stop playing daily since I've lost the joy totally.. what's the point to be fair.

Worst part is that rarely my opponents seems to be affected by the delay and its obvious that they trigger high pressure from start.

Sorry for the rant.

Matt.

    It's ❤️❤️❤️❤️ awful. I've been relegated to D7 from doing objectives and facing harder opponents than in D5. This game is so broken

    Last 2 days Rivals has been awful for me. Even worse than the usual delayed stuck in mud games. Games are unwinnable. I press 'pass' and in the time it takes for the player to actually respond and try to pass they have been auto tackled. I am trying to just offload the ball before I'm auto tackled but my players aren't moving or making runs at all so it's impossible. Also my passes pea roll with no pace and just get intercepted - among a myriad of other issues. It's a joke.

    Rivals was smooth all week for me, but today it's awful, feels like weekend league, it's sluggish, unresponsive. I'm using 8 depth, my team is still sitting deep, even when I activated team press they wouldn't press. Guessing the servers are overloaded again, everyone is testing their WL teams.

    yea its been a similar situation for me this week I get pretty good latency as well and it still just feels sluggish sometimes like you are trying to run in sand or snow. even 99 pace players just "feel" slow sometimes its weird lol

    not to mention the custom tactics are broken so that does not help when there is bad delay. I have noticed since the recent patch I have come up against more teams playing constant pressure d with team press and higher depth and it causes havoc on your team when you have to try and play with delay since you have to try one touch passes more and your guys are always under pressure so its sloppy gameplay.

    I know what you mean as i got 94 Depay from the guaranteed ligue 1 SBC and he feels worse than his nif! I don't think they are playing constant pressure against me. It's just as though they have a boosted tackle/intercept radius and auto tackle due to the delay. They just have to press a button anywhere near me and they 100% will get the ball. Or the game just auto tackles for them . On the other hand, I can spam tackle 3 times and the defender won't make an animation towards the ball at all. If I switch to team press and constant pressure absolutely nothing happens or changes! I get 26 latency usually.

    Played one game, finished 7-5

    What is this crap? There is literally no defending, its just a question of how many you can score in the alotted time.

    Yeah same. I can barely play rivals the gameplay is laughable. Even when I win I know it's just a lottery. Champs I seem to get much smoother games on average

    Had two games today, relegated straight down to D5. Insanely fast gameplay, shlt on by opponents. The players don't seem to matter at all anymore as there is so many crazy cards, it's ridiculous. WL will be terrible, but probably last one

    Some people saying for them the gameplay is too slow, others saying it´s too fast. Do you realize that it has nothing to do with servers performance ?

    Just took my team 18 mins to vhange formation that i activated at kick off. Players turning in circles before they make a pass massively heavey touches. Totally totally unplayable

    Yeah Really Bad. You can count down the wind up passing and or shooting (1..1000, 2...1000, 3..1000) and by the time the player reacts you are either tackled, receiver is offsides, or GK is at your feet.

    Shambolic would be a good descriptor haha

    I still can't win a tackle or pass a ball 5 yards..to top ot off my 95+ wingers feel around 35 pace.. tried to play 5 games tonight 3 self relegators. so wasted time there, 1 rage quit then I quit after my striker hit the post from 7 yards out with an open goal at his mercy after seeing how slow and awkward my team was playing ..truly embarrassing.

    This week I’ve went from div 3 we’re ive sat all year I’m now struggling in div 8 lol and I’m not even doing objectives I’ve approx a 20 mil team and I’m getting overrun by even basic players
    Struggling to make even a simple pass with players supposedly 90+ rated all passing stats

    Game is a total shambles

    Yeah im struggling like crazy to create anything the other team is super fast at recovering the ball my team play hospital passes everytime. Im not sure the other team is even using press as their stamina doesnt seem to drain. My mid cryuff is absolutely abysmal at the moment just falls over all the time unable to beat any defender.

    At this point it feels like my opponents activated a secret option that I don’t have. Their players always seem to make perfect runs between my defense it’s ridiculous. And sometimes they don’t even have to because my 2 CBs decide to stand on the literal same pixel.
    Meanwhile when I’m attacking my players are lazier than me in the home office. They just won’t move or at least try to initiate an attack.

    It doesn't matter how badly delayed, how sweaty, what team I use I will finish G3. I'm pretty confident EA have already pre-determined where I will finish

    I'm getting speed up lag about 5 times a game. I've had no issues with delay all year since the last week. Something has changed for my location

    I feel for you all, it's like I'm being connected towards other servers. I'm facing a lot of russian implying teamnames like Moscow Dynamo among many others.
    I'm from Sweden and have played a handful of other swedes and we've had really bad games. After speaking to another over messages we both concluded that it was lags on both parts.
    One player I faced was located less than 15 swedish miles from my location.
    And he was playing on a 1gigbyte connection. Utter trash.
