A question about EA Servers - Middle East
Hopefully this won't get buried here.
I live in Israel which is basically at the crossroads of Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
Unfortunately EA has no servers in Israel or in the close vicinity so we do suffer from high ping most of the games.
Any players from Israel will play on EU servers as they offer the best ping (double checked this using Wireshark)
Now, if I remember correctly fifa 19 had p2p connection of FUT (PC) and that puts both players on an even playing field.
Whenever I play someone from Europe and they get 0-20ms while I get 60-80ms ping it's quiet hard to enjoy the game due to input delay (every small change of direction of my opponent will lead my defender to keep running for a bit before he turns to face the opponent again)
I enjoy playing FUT but I struggle to enjoy online games as they are not as responsive due to input delay and it's disadvantage.
I am aware that it's due to the lack of servers (if any) in my vicinity but we have a big community here.
So.. for future reference, can we expect new server locations (particularly in israel / this region) this year or next year?
I've attached a screenshot showing the ping an Israeli player will get to the different servers. (I've added Dubai since Israel is a part of the Middle East - Just so you see that the servers in Dubai are not a suitable solution for the entire Middle East)
