because altho there are far fewer fifa 17 servers they aren't being hammered to death and ran over spec, i doubt they are using the same hardware across versions just swapping 99% of it each update.
If everyone organised to log into fifa 17 at the same time and find a match the servers there would crash in short order
M8 when everyone was playing fifa 12,13,14,15,16,17,18 it was not lagging... i do understand that there is not so many playing fifa 17 today but for 3 years ago everyone was playing it and there was not so many complain about delays
Because until rivals head to head games were mainly p2p ( with some server assistance)
Now everything needs an instanced server on hardware, and hardware costs money.
If the average peak number of games going on at any one time is say 50k, guess what EA might barely pay for enough server capacity to run 50k instances. Anything over that and pot luck if you happen to be on an overloaded server cluster.
Plus they use the same servers for all thier games, thats why EVERYTHING EA often goes down at the same time.
You're asking for peak time redundancy from EA here... not going to happen.
You are right m8

because the hamster is old now
Can the whole fifa community give 10 dollar to EA and the old hamster can retire and new one become employed

As far as I'm concerned that's the only logical explanation why a 5 bar latency game against a bang average opponent with a cheap squad proves to be more difficult than a good opponent with a top squad
And why in games against terrible opponents my AI are completely static and my players are unresponsive and delayed
I agree. I don´t know how people do not notice that. It´s so obvious that you can predict what´s going on, even how many points you will get in rivals. I´m currently playing with a gold team ( I'm not using icons or special cards I have ) and I won 3 in a row against good rivals. I´ve chatted with them after the match, they all agree that they were not able to move their players in that match.

Because they keep adding to and optimising the adaptive difficulty each year to further reduce the skill gap
The goal is not to create a fun, competitive and skill based gameplay experience.. it's to make the game accessible to all
Kids these days are not interested in a learning curve, their not willing to learn and improve they want instant satisfaction, losing too many games heavily and consecutively turns them away from the game so they need more assistance to maintain their engagement levels
So unfortunately those of who are willing to learn and improve are the ones who suffer, because at this point we are the minority

I think the game is just slow and ****. Its coded this way i think or they patched it. Its so boring and unfun. Ea can you please fix the slow unresponsive, sluggish, clunky gameplay? There is totally no flow in this game
