I exchange the PS2, as I was suffering the same thing in other games, but I think either the disks are dirty, the PS2 is overheating or it's poor programming on EA's part. On example is when the opposition's goalkeeper takes a goal kick, the camera pans behind him and jerks. Also, during replays, the camera jerks. I can sometimes see the poor framerate during normal play. It's weird as no reviews mention this.
