FC 27 input delay online vs offline, how do you tell the difference?
Closed thread Closed by archive Sample discussionDoes anyone have a good method for figuring out where input delay is coming from?
Sometimes my players feel responsive in offline matches, but online everything seems slower. I can't tell whether it's my connection, the controller, or just how the match is playing.
I'd rather narrow it down before randomly buying a new controller or changing a load of settings.

Don't forget display settings and frame pacing. You can have decent average FPS and still have inconsistent responsiveness.
True, but offline versus online isn't a perfect test either. Different game modes can behave differently.
How do you check if the controller is the problem?
Test it in another game or use a controller input tester. Look for delayed input, missed inputs, or stick drift.
If other players are teleporting around, that's more likely a connection issue than your controller.
Got it. I'll test offline first, then check the controller and network separately.
Exactly. One variable at a time beats randomly changing everything.
