Lag makes this game literally unplayable at on a competitive level

[kevinmastah]

Last week I experience more lagg.
I think Ea is screwing around.
Also I get this message 3 days now,

In order to acces the online features for this title, all active users must be signed
Into Playstation Network and EA servers.

After trying a couple times I can connect.

From Europe, The Netherlands

You are in the middle and most people with access to a ps4 live in that area.

USA East Coast. If i'm playing against someone in Europe or something, there is very noticeable lag, but outside that I rarely have issues.

So, I had about 6 out of ten fights lag just now. I check my internet on my XB1 Hey..maybe IT IS me.

30 Mb DL, 11 UL, 0 Packet Loss, Open DMZ NAT.

So will one of you geniuses who tell me you never lag please tell me what the hell I am doing wrong. Not trying to be a dick. I don't understand.

On PS4 I have NAT type 2. Everything I've read indicates this is good, and that all beneficial ports are open. Is there any chance that assigning a static IP and putting in my routers DMZ could help?

I'll give it a try.

I wish we could search by connection strength. That's really helpful in Street Fighter. Most of my matches are fine, but then you get some where we really have no business playing each other. Choppy city.

I have my router in a DMZ. I have an open cone Nat. Doesn't help.

Of course it will never happen, but would amazing if someone from EA would investigate the connections of some of the people complaining that the game is entirely unplayable for them due to lag. There could be some valuable discoveries for them as well.

I got into this game over the summer when my youngest son who wrestles Greco at NMU-OTC brought his Xbox and the game home with him. I was totally blown away by the graphics and gameplay (hey the last video game I was addicted to was the arcade version of Pac Man in the 70's) lol. Anyway I know basically nothing about my Xbox which I bought the day he went back to college or even computers ( I am from a different era and it may as well be the 1300's lol). I just started playing online after 4-1/2 months as I am an ex boxer and wanted to get my skill level up to snuff where I am competitive. Well in that department I am doing fine but a lot of my matches lately have some awful lag that makes the game unbearable to play. I have a wireless Fios connection and live in Bklyn NY. Can someone explain what I can (do or buy) to clear up the lag issue in a non technical way that I can understand= Thanks!
