Should EA add the option to filter out bad connections like in PES2020?

Would you prefer if EA lets you filter out 4G, (unstable) WiFi and other unstable connections like PES2020 does?
I think it would be a good solution if we aren't forced anymore to matchup with laggy players..
In PES2020 there are 3 options:
- Filter out all unstable connections (4G, WiFi, bad ping etc)
- Balanced: only filter out bad connections, but allow WiFi and 4G if they seem stable
- Turn off the filter
PS: if you should be against it for any reason, it would be nice if you add a comment explaining yourself..

However, since most of fifa game modes are on “dedicated servers” player connectivity is irrelevant only ping(latency to servers) matter; unlike pes whom provide P2P connection with failsafes in place to prevent most cheaters(lag switchers, ddos, torrents)
I wish there was a dislike button on these forums.
it’s like
Option a. Make the game better
Option b. Don’t make the game better
And yet we have people voting no..
You still can match up against WiFi and 4G buddies as well as anyone on a 'Balanced' filter setting if your connection is still good.
There was a question on pointless where they showed 100 people a picture of the earth and asked them to name the planet. 97 got it right....
You will always manage to find stupid people
I'd prefer FIFA to revert back to P2P as well. Also has p2p singles, hence the question.
Game has been abysmal for me since they introduced servers, they need go remove them, get back to p2p, add matchmaking filter options and fix the broken netcode and stupid no loss glitches.
Servers - for me personally - are the worst thing that has ever happened to FIFA...
I think thats the problem. From what i gather, playing on wifi gives your opponent delay while you have great gameplay, except for maybe some speedup lag.
But I want to be able to match up anywhere. Not wait for 30mins, because I play on WiFi at someone elses house and people got me filtered out.
You clearly just want to conserve your delay advantage on people who otherwise would destroy you. And you would not be waiting 30 mins, in fact there are so many players with all types of connections you wouldn't even notice a change.
Separate it by stable or unstable regardless if it's Wi-fi or broadband.
Exactly.
I want my advantage of being able to enjoy fast forward lag. If I want to suffer from that, let me do it, won't affect the other player. That's the beauty of dedicated servers over p2p.
P2P > servers. The best player or top 3 best in the world is sending messages asking for P2P right now.
People who know their internet is garbage
Don't think MoAuba ever asked for p2p to be back tbf.
Servers are the way forward and luckily ea doesn't listen to people from america, because their main market is Europe.
Are we talking about the same guy who cheated at the start of Fifa 19? yeah, sounds like someone who wouldn't ask for P2P.
It's not forbidden to buy the game early, you are just not allowed to sell it.
So he didn't cheat by buying it
There's a set date when everyone is supposed (theoretically and not effectively at that time unfortunately) to go online and he infiltrated in trying to get an advantage, reason why his coins were removed.
You lack any kind of morale. Shame on you.
Is that considered bullying and should I report you?
You have got to remember this is EA and the game has always been P2P. They will have cheaped out and fudged the server code to how they could do it the quickest with least impact as they still had to have the game ready within 1 year. Probably just ripped out the server code that controlled the P2P game and put an api on it to allow both clients to call it.
Whatever the method they used to introduce servers, servers are the issue why there's so much extra delay and people complain so much, why the game has such a bad fame on "laggy servers". EA's servers may not be the best but that's not the true cause, it's the fact that they are redirecting people to far away servers plus peak hours and peak users bottle necking their bandwidth, plus people who don't kinow how to set their ports open or just have their brother watching netflix next to them with a 6mbps connection on Wi-Fi.
Bring P2P as an option (develop a way to mask your IPs to windows), separate people who have an unstable connection, make matchmaking find people based on lowest latency, punish people who create an unstable connection by giving them lost matches, educate people on how to improve their connection. That's the way to solve the issue and not encouraging a dated servers model on a 1v1 sports game, reason why everyone is complaining of handicap and delay.
This is, as said above, either ''make the game better'' or ''ThErE iS nOtHiNg WrOnG wItH fIfA''
That would allow us to instantly see how much of a delay advantage some people like the guy who voted no above are getting in order to up their ranks on Divisions and that servers netcode allows.
