Desperate for the failures in the response time of your FIFA players ? Believe me, it’s something we all suffer when we play online. And in EA they know it, so they are working on polishing these problems that make players so desperate. How? That is just what they have explained in their latest official blog post.
Lag problems that cost goals
It is not easy, you have to admit it. FIFA 20 developers face thousands of variables when it comes to perfecting the operation of a game, and not all players have excellent wireless connections, the same domestic internet connection and are not lucky enough to not lose any data packet during signal transmission. All these factors affect a stable connection, so as you can imagine, in the end everything goes much further than giving a simple button and that our player shoots at goal.
All these factors become errors in the game, and in EA they have identified several common cases that affect the players, and these are:
- Button response capacity : It is the response time that elapses from when you press a button until the action is performed in the game. Known as entry delay or simply delay, it is one of the most common symptoms among the most sensitive players.
- Input loss : A command simply does not execute when the order has been given (after pressing a button).
- Game speed : The game does not run at the expected speed. You have probably experienced it more than once, since there are certain games that go faster and others much slower. Many describe it as playing with ice skates (when they go fast) or play in the mud (when they go slow).
- Temporary stop : This is another of the most common failures, and the game is frozen for a fraction of a second in the middle of the game.
The live tests
EA developers continuously carry out many tests to put these factors into action and find a way to mitigate or eliminate them completely, but in the end, these artificial tests can never be purchased with the ones they affect live without waiting for it, so for this they have Order helps users.
With the help of volunteers, in EA they are getting to know the response times of the buttons to understand exactly the impact of this delay in the real world. As they have shared through an official capture, players who are part of these voluntary tests can see on the screen a menu of buttons superimposed in the upper right corner.
This menu will allow players to know live how the game responds to commands in real time, to better understand the connection established between the EA data center and the player.
This is one of the reasons why EA asks players to be encouraged to share the data recorded on their console, as they help to analyze and improve future problems.
