The connection/lag issues in FIFA 16

I'm giving up on FUT 16 for a while. I've had too many connection/lag issues that I rarely experienced with FUT 15.

Right from launch day in the U.S., I've received about 50% disconnects which is frustrating because I was really looking forward to FUT draft. And now that it disconnects almost every other match, it wouldn't be smart to play that mode.

I've also noticed, in my experience, the gameplay has had a significant increase in lag. (Maybe choppiness is the better word?) I've only had ONE smooth match with no lag at all. fut16coin would definitely love some feedback on others if they're experiencing this too? My internet speed is pretty fast and there's only 2 devices always running off it simultaneously (phone & Xbox.) So the internet speed shouldn't be any issue.

I can understand the disconnections from the first week or so since the servers might be congested with all the players, but what's irritating me the most is the choppiness of gameplay. When I'm on offline modes, gameplay is fine and smooth. Its only occurring during online play.

I've played 25 matches and had about 6 or 7 disconnects from winning matches. Seriously frustrating since it's essentially a waste of time and stopping me from going through the seasons. Seeing more complaints from PS4 guys, is the Xbox one just as bad or what?

I've entered two separate FUT drafts with the best squads I've ever built (even better than the constant demo play). Demolished the first games in both drafts, and got disconnected both games. Spent 30k Fut 16 coins (which is a lot in this stage of FIFA) to get four normal gold packs out of it and 1 rare 75 rated player. And my DNF modifier went down since they counted as 3-0 losses. Gonna hold off on FIFA for a while until this gets fixed. A bit ridiculous.

This year is definitely the best FIFA I've played in terms of disconnection and lag. I've played around 25 games now and have not lagged once or disconnected. It's amazing. Not sure why I am not experiencing all these issues that seem to be going on with EA servers.

After every game now on the loading screen for the match highlights and stats and stuff it waits forever, the game hasn't crashed or anything, just waits on the loading screen forever and the only way to get off it is to close the game and that counts as a DNF. I'm now 5-14 where the 5 wins were the first 5 matches I played before this glitch. Roughly half of the losses are DCs half way through the match and the other half are that stupid glitch, beyond frustrating now!
