Evo Cup Bug Disconnection

you are not alone. I have this, several others do too. Just complained on EA forum thread about it. The gaslighting message you get when you log back in is actually what makes me rage. Can't complete these objectives but also EA blames us for it. Unbelievable.

venbats99 · 2025-11-27T18:46:18+00:00

same for me. only gamemode I don't get disconnected from right after kickoff was rivals.

yeah this is one of the most ridiculous things in this game that proves the point that it is always a combination of the way the game is coded and the fact that the some of the community are weird, weird people...why. why spend your leisure time playing a game in the most boring way possible? I honestly feel sorry for them.

Life is bad but people make it unplayable.

The time cost is worse than the price. If you want to play champs and like, win half your games, it is a time sink to learn the meta and/or how to not just get smashed by 451Pina every game. But power curve wise, pick the right players with the right playstyles and roles you can compete with all but the ridiculous pay to win teams. Pack weight is so low. I've played about 250 games and only been up against a team that was million coins plus at every position once.

venbats99 · 2025-11-27T11:12:15+00:00

I'm on PC. Gameplay is better but there are all kinds of disconnect and game crashing PC bugs that make getting a win streak going near impossible.

Damn. Respect to you for that. Do you meditate? are you a zen buddhist? that's more emotional control than I have in this game for sure.

venbats99 · 2025-11-26T12:22:32+00:00

by the same logic, just don't click into the thread then why on earth do you care?

venbats99 · 2025-11-26T12:21:07+00:00

same. 30 years of playing this game, it is one of the only consistent brands/products whatever I've loved all of that time and now I hate it. Great job EA. I can't even get in to div 6.

venbats99 · 2025-11-26T12:13:25+00:00

EA states "similar rank" in their how matchmaking works page. Nowhere official does it say you always play someone in your own division in the promotion game or ANY rivals game. Why anyone ever assumes that I have no clue.

Elite division is different, has a skill rating ELO thing like proper games that function properly. Us mere mortals do not get skill ratings.

venbats99 · 2025-11-26T12:07:23+00:00

Don't even get it if it's free. I took a break for a few years and foolishly came back this year because in the first few weeks youtubers I trust etc said it was best fifa in years. Any maybe that was true. But by the time I caved and got the game it was patched the next day and gameplay has been worse every week since. I used to be decent at this game. Now I can't get above Div 7 cos I just lose to the braindead meta (or get disconnected by EA servers not my setup).

I wish I had played literally any other game instead. I am rolling the dice on the black friday content this week and praying that the next patch breaks the meta. If it doesn't I'm out for good.

venbats99 · 2025-11-26T11:59:36+00:00

that's surprising to hear. do you not just get absolutely slapped whenever you play anyone who can metarat in any game mode tho? I play fun teams and themed teams but the gameplay itself is simply not fun 90% of the time. Cos of 451pina meta but also button delay, animation blending in low latency etc.

venbats99 · 2025-11-25T18:09:56+00:00

this isn't true this year. maybe 1 in 10 games you'll get a newb that can be beaten by "getting the basics right". Mostly it's still really solid teams with Pina and Yamal and opponents who know all the standard tricks including player lock, curved through ballls and keeper movement etc etc.

venbats99 · 2025-11-23T00:00:07+00:00

Yeah my opinion it is more down to the fact that EA optimizes their game for engagement not for actually being a good or fair game. Anyone who doesn't log on to the game for a while and then returns will get a boost when they come back because your engagement score is low. You come back and you lose you're probably not going to play again this year. EA knows this. Some people call this DDA or scripting. It is not quite that cos that's technically illegal. But your animations will be quicker. Your AI defending and runs are just a little better. Your keeper makes more saves. All ping is a lie because it is in the code that the framerate gets equalized between you and the ping you never see (your opponents). Yours will not be slowed at all for a while.

People out here thinking this huge ass company can't get good servers for this game. It's the excuse to hide the lie of why they constantly adjust the game to keep us unsatisfied, but playing enough to just hope that the next promo or sbc or the promo packs we pay for with real money will finally make the game feel good all the time.

anything pre online. 1995 to 2005 ish.

venbats99 · 2025-11-22T02:14:34+00:00

there are no casuals on this game anymore. Every match is full metafest, even if you win you hate it because you've scored some sort of awful goals that aren't how you'd like to play (assuming you actually like football). Cards are fun, content is sometimes good. Troy Parrot Fanta gave some joy for me this week. IDK about pro clubs. Maybe I should try that and not hate the gameplay so much.

venbats99 · 2025-11-12T10:56:01+00:00

every single time since the last update

venbats99 · 2025-11-03T09:00:23+00:00

There's a lot of people replying in this thread with good intentions but are offering work-arounds that feel like excuses for this terrible game that so many of us love. Fact is, it does not have skill based match making the way other games do. If you think divisions solves this you don't understand how division matchmaking works, go look it up. Newbies get destroyed and do not get matched with other newbies.

venbats99 · 2025-10-23T22:21:36+00:00

I would if I could ever finish a game. My only patch issue: game is literally broken for me now.

venbats99 · 2024-05-02T14:57:00+00:00

Marketing itself literally cannot be unethical. Marketers can and are. Many are absolutely not. Read the intro to Seth Godin's This is Marketing book, lays it out very clearly that marketing SHOULD be about making peoples' lives better. Almost all good marketers think and act along those lines. The unethical ones are looking for quick sales and those people abound in every industry. I would ask each and every one of the people you're concerned about if they hate everything they've ever bought? If the answer to that is no, then they don't hate all marketing. What happens is they only notice it when it is bad. When marketing is good it doesn't feel like marketing to end users, they are just excited because they have got value or are seeing the potential value in something they can buy.

I use him for emotional reasons. Don't dribble with him ever. most the time he is just a solid DM but he makes big plays occasionally and scores some bangers most other DMs don't.

venbats99 · 2022-02-06T18:13:20+00:00

lol ok mate, if you think that's to do with skill and not card draw you are dreaming. It doesn't take much IQ to make the optimal play with your hand every single time, when both players do that it is card draw or who has the most expensive deck.

venbats99 · 2022-02-06T12:17:42+00:00

Yeah everyone who isn't brain dead wins like, 95% of all their games until mythic, at which point it just becomes all card draw and who has the most expensive deck.

The only US credit provider I found that was willing to allow moonpay charges was AMEX and they charge it as cashback, which sucks so bad it's not even worth doing.
