I don't have any problems with other games, connection is decent (or so it seems) however I feel like my connection to EA is shot. I'm Leicester based in the UK and I only seem to play against players from Spain and France on FUT, that didn't seem to be the case in other FIFAs i always seemed to play UK (and mostly people pretty close to me).

The problems I have seem to base around this constant shuffle to the left (in all games modes) which prevents sprinting at speed, passing accurately, causes my players to end up all over the pitch, and their stamina seems to be 3/4 gone by 40 minutes, I've tried a variety of formations/tactics/settings, new controllers, new router, new HDMI cables, different TVs and nothing seems to make a difference. This isn't an occasional thing, I have to play the game in a completely different way to scrape 11 wins.

Has anyone else faced this problem, and do you know of a solution, I'd ask the EA Support, but they are incompetent and there is currently a 14 hour wait for support.

I can play COD no problem, better than I've ever been. Fifa on the other hand is currently for me terrible, I know it's bad but I'm confident it's not this bad for everyone.

Just to add to that I never play anyone from the UK, have tried location match making on and off it makes no difference.

Am I missing something obvious?
