Lag Switch in Madden?

Has anyone came across this? Played a guy with the username "smoothlouie" on PSN or "louiethatguy" EA account. The game was lagging terribly bad on my end but I noticed that he wasn't seeming to be lagging. I sent him a message and asked if he was lagging? He didn't respond. I wrote another message and said "Lag switch?" He still didn't respond. The game was virtually unplayable for me yet didn't seem to bother him at all. I quit the game and told him I'm reporting him for lag switching.. He didn't deny it at all and gave the comment a "thumbs up" 

My Internet is insanely good with consistently high ping. Typically when they lag is the only time I lag. This was different.. And the fact that he didn't deny anything is sketchy. Has anyone else came across anything similar?

I don't think you can lag switch opponents on dedicated servers. Happy to be shown to be wrong but I'm pretty sure...

Question, were you the home or away team? I have also had this issue when playing as the away team, and the game becomes unplayable for me, but not my opponent, and then the following games are fine as there is no lag.  I also have a great internet connection, and it is also direct ethernet connection, and this does not happen on with COD or any other games I play, only just Madden.

I thought I was going crazy. This has been happening to me about 3 in 10 games. Game freezes for like 1-3 seconds then its like it starts fast forwarding to catch up.

I also have 1000gb internet with Lan connected

This is exactly what happens. Not sure if it's someone cheating or what. I only had it happen once. Thought it was very odd that the guy didn't deny it. If someone asks me I'm going to at least say what the hell are you talking about? Usually, when you lag on Madden, your opponent does too. Just sucks because I was one win from my playoff game and that happened. And yeah, I was the away team. The guys name also didn't appear. It was a very strange game. To make matters worse, he was on pc

was he rocking the top 100 uniforms?(white & gold or black & white jerseys)

Was he wearing the new Top 100 uniforms by any chance?  Or any unique uniforms?  There's been quite a lot of issues, where the game slows to a crawl and becomes nearly unplayable -- hard to say if it happens equally on both consoles, or what.  It's definitely an ongoing problem that has been ignored.  I don't think EA has a clue how to fix the majority of the performance based issues, this buggy ass game and Frostbite game engine are horrendous.

I honestly can't remember now. The game was so bad I backed out in the first quarter. It would freeze, come back, and the guy would be running towards the end zone. I could hardly pick my play. It was virtually unplayable. I have no idea how he wasn't lagging on his end. I quit the game and started a new one and it was fine.. Hasn't happened since.

Its the top 100 uniforms.  Its been a known issue for a while.   Its funny because it hurts both teams so its not even a hack or anything.  They cant see or do anything either.
