EA Sports has made available an option that allows you to monitor the ping and connection during the matches of all game modes available in FIFA 22.

See what the connection indicators in FIFA 22 on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox mean about your in-game connection and what you can do to improve it.

OW DOES CONNECTION MONITORING WORK?

Connection monitoring in FIFA 22 is turned on automatically. This enables in-game icons that show during a match to give you information about yourย Connection Quality.

Youโ€™ll also get notifications when we believe that you may be experiencing potentially game-impacting Connection Quality issues.

HOW TO CUSTOMIZE CONNECTION MONITORING ICONS

  1. Go toย Customise.
  2. Open upย Settings.
  3. Go toย Game Settings.
  4. Go toย Visual.
  5. At the bottom of the list, go toย Connection Monitoring.

Once youโ€™ve gone intoย Customisationย for the connection indicators, youโ€™ll see four different options:

  • Ping onlyย โ€“ย This will only display your current roundtrip ping in milliseconds on the screen at all times during an applicable match. This value will update every second.
  • Connection indicators onlyย โ€“ย This enables a set of icons that are displayed on-screen during an applicable match, when certain connection thresholds are met.
  • Ping and connection indicatorsย โ€“ This means that both the ping number and the connection indicators will be displayed on the screen in appropriate situations during an applicable match.
  • Offย โ€“ Neither the ping number nor the connection indicators will be displayed on the screen during a match.

What do the connection monitoring icons mean?

These icons are designed to indicate that we believe your currentย connection qualityย could be resulting in a degraded online gameplay experience.ย 

If the icons display in yellow, we expect that there may be some degradation to your experience, and if the icons are displayed in red, we expect that there may be a more significant degradation to your experience.

Jitter connection indicator in redJitter connection indicator in yellowJitter- Youโ€™ll see this icon when you are experiencing jitter, a sudden and significant change to your ping within a short window of time.

WHY YOUโ€™RE SEEING THESE ICONS

When one or more of these icons displays during a match, you may be experiencing some degradation to your online gameplay experience due to your connection quality.

If you are seeing one or more of these icons displayed throughout the entire match, this likely means that thereโ€™s some aspect of your connection that is consistently above the values that we believe will provide a solid online gameplay experience.

If you are seeing one or more of these icons appear sporadically throughout a match, this likely means that there is some aspect of your connection that is fluctuating or unstable.
