FIFA 15 lag issue on PS4 fixed!

PS4 users who got FIFA 15 last Tuesday, as the game launched in the US, have found a lag problem, that essentially made the game so slow, it became unplayable. To be able to play without lag issues, players needed to disconnect from the internet, which was fine if you wished to play offline, but the problem remained for everyone trying to play online.

There's already a long thread about this issue on EA Sports official forum, where a moderator suggested that this could be caused due to the game launch and flux of people trying to connect (we doubt he is talking in any official capacity though). Since then, a Youtuber called "Chigre - FIFA 15", found a solution to the problem, that allows online play with no lag.

For this to work you will need two PSN profiles, both linked with Origin:

First, enter FIFA 15 and connect to the EA Servers as you normally would, this will probably cause the game to lag. Now, hold the PlayStation button on the Dual Shock 4, and choose Change User, and select a new profile. Now, back in FIFA 15, go to Customize, and change the profile accordingly. When all this is done, sign in to the EA Servers by pressing R3. You should now be able to play FIFA 15 without any lag, even if you change back to the original profile.

We tried it and it worked for us. It's not an ideal situation, but should do the trick until EA fixes the issue.
