FIFA Freezing during offline & Online gameplay. Fix needed.
TL:DR - FIFA freezes during all gameplay, have tried a number of fixes but to no avail. Seeking desperate help as a last resort!
This is my first post on here but as explained in the title I'm really at loss for what to do & EA chat just directs me to a webpage of options that I have already tried. Any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated.
The issue started in last weeks WL when I would get to about 60 mins in and the game would freeze repeatedly and then "catch up" through speed-up lag. Essentially rendering me only able to play about a half of a game. I eventually gave up at Silver 1 as it was way too stressful.
For some context, this has never happened before. I have a wired connection with solid internet speeds and have never struggled with any form of delayed gameplay. It just seems to have come on all of a sudden & to a game-breaking level.
ATTEMPTED FIXES SO FAR
- I have rebuilt my PS4 database in order to refresh the running of the system
- I have uninstalled/ re-installed solely FIFA 20
- I have factory reset the ps4 and re-installed all of my games (which took forever)
None of this has worked. If anything my FIFA 20 freezes have become worse. I also get no lag/delayed gameplay in any other game. Warzone for example is working with no issues.
VIDEO EVIDENCE
I have a video of it happening again this morning which I can postil necessary. I was 2-0 up in my first game of champs but by the time it "caught up" I was 5-2 down. Great!
Thanks in advance if anyone has any ideas. If it can't be solved that'll be it for me on FIFA 20 which is gutting just as TOTS is coming around and with the time and money I have invested into the team.

Hey man I've been going through the exact same problem. Every other game on my PS4 runs well with absolutely zero issues but when it comes to fifa it keeps freezing and stuttering like you said and catches up for like almost an entire half during weekend league and I've done all the steps from rebuilding database and then to eventually even changing my HDD. and still the issue persists. It happens to me offline as well so I'm pretty sure it isn't an internet issue. Would be very helpful if an ea employee would help us. Looks like they've just ignored this entire thread.

Hi @Bolty3108,
Speed up lag is a packet loss issue, it's caused by the game attempting to send data to us or your opponent and not being able to get through. You can resolve this 90% of the time by DMZing the console in your router or by playing on an ethernet cable instead of WiFi.

Hi @EA_Cade Thanks for the response.
I do play through an ethernet cable and have done with the same setup for the last 18 months with no issues and the exact same internet provider & router. It has only been the last week and a half that this has been occurring. Does the fact that these issues are occurring in offline games (as well as online) also not point to deeper routed issue? Ie. not internet connection based?
Cheers, Bolty.
