The gaming experience for EA SPORTS FC 24 players in South Africa has been less than ideal, with ongoing connectivity problems plaguing their gameplay.
Despite the anticipation, the community remains in the dark about whether the latest update, Title Update 12, has addressed the high ping issues that have marred the game’s performance in the region.
‘EA SPORTS FC 24’ still mum about South Africa ping issue

For nearly two weeks, players from Southern Africa have been battling not just virtual opponents but also frustratingly high latency issues.
This significant delay, with ping times between 120-200 milliseconds, has turned competitive matches like Division Rivals and Champions into cumbersome experiences, far removed from the game’s intended fast-paced action.
In the wake of these issues, neither EA SPORTS FC nor Electronic Arts have made any public assurances or provided specific information about efforts to resolve the connectivity problems for their South African base.
The lack of communication has led to mounting dissatisfaction within the community, with calls from gamers to boycott EA products in protest.
What to expect from ‘Title Update 12’
Title Update 12 has been rolled out across all platforms for EA SPORTS FC 24, bringing a variety of updates and fixes that are eagerly scrutinized by the community.
The update includes general improvements such as updated player models, kits, badges, and several elements related to CONMEBOL competitions.
Additionally, it addresses stability concerns, such as a bug related to expired items in the Ultimate Team’s Transfer Targets and other miscellaneous stability issues.
However, there is no explicit mention or confirmation that the update specifically targets the latency issues experienced by players in South Africa.
This omission leaves many wondering if the changes made will inadvertently improve the situation or if the high ping woes will persist, unaddressed directly in this update.
