Re: Input lag

@EA_Aljo Every piece of hardware has been replaced. I use a top of the line monitor. I've tried two different systems with two different cables. I'm going to ask a 3rd time why NHL21 doesn't seem to have any of these issues when I re-downloaded the game?

As for, "The particular video you linked really doesn't look delayed to me," well, then I don't even know what to say. Every single person, except for you, who has seen that video has been agape at how bad it's delayed. It's literally stopping my character when I am skating forward the entire time and attempt a cut. It's so obvious that it's beyond a matter of "feel." I provided 4 videos of me with delay and without, and it's just plain as day.

    @DeliveryForKiki They know what’s going on they just can’t admit it…It will cost them a lot of money to investigate and they don’t think it’s worth it. They’d rather just deflect everything we say on here. It’s obvious at this point. Just quit the game man, your life will be a lot easier. I went completely out of my way at the beginning to try and help fix this and they don’t want our help. They’d rather blame our connections…sad.

    Here is a video of a gamewinning goal that shows the whole problem. It's a goal of my team and there is a lot wrong with whats going on.

    The CPU controlled players do a lot of dumb things or nothing (the D man on the blueline and the other D on the left side stand still in the whole sequence).

    The center runs in my winger instead of get to free space in the 4 on 3 PP. The D does not move to get to an open lane.

    That happens when the connect is that bat. The CPU can't follow the play or react to the opponets players.

    Start at Timecode 2:24 …

    Another example from the same game.

    Timecode 0:20

    The Left D (Zubov) had no clue where the puck is going, he changes direction to offense instead to react to the puck that goes deep down the boards.

    This happend 20 times in the game when I lag. It had nothing to do with an HDMI Cable or some equipment. Ping was again 6 ms in that game.

    @ea_ajoli The problem is routing, server, gamecode or something else. The same * happend in some offline Squad battles. There is something wrong and it's not our connnect.

    What about the question from some other players about lag compansation? No answers cause I think too thats the problem. Connections are alwasy bad aginst players from east europe … why? The have a less good connect then myself but get compensation? They are not as near to the server than I but why are the that fast?

    Same thing happened in a game I played just now, connect was terrible, my players didn't move on the PP at all. I tried to cycle behind the net but my opponent was more agile and fast and had no problem to clear the puck. It's clearly because of the bad connect.

    I see that as well when the connect is bad. AI becomes completely stupid, not picking up pucks, soft passes and soft shots, my Koskinen MSP letting in soft goals etc.

    This 100%. Is the problem for me as a Western European player playing against Eastern European teams and having a disadvantage in basically 90% of the games actively investigated by EA?
