No Data Centers in Canada. Why?

I think it's a simple question and one way to help some of the North American community with their connection issues. The EU is able to have 11 data centers in a smaller region but North America only gets 8 of them and none are located in Canada. I can assure you that in my city alone everyone everywhere has connection issues when it comes to EA titles, especially the EA sports ones. 

I really don't think it's asking for much and I don't imagine it's something that is out of budget with this company.

    I assume the headquarters in Vancouver may also act as a data center but couldn't 1 or 2 more help to ease the stress during peak hours?

    You have to admit there is a big difference when it comes to gameplay responsiveness  at 6pm compared to 6am. Not everyone is willing to play the game at certain times in order to have good gameplay. Accompany that with how FUT operates and the game just becomes a stressful chore that you just put your money into, all for a slim chance at getting a card that either doesn't really sell for any more than his discard price or help to make the gameplay any better. On top of that most of the cards that have been released in fc25 are the same boring rotation of meta cards that have been getting upgrades for the last few years.

    @lansenyl It probably makes more sense to have them in the middle of Canada and the usa so more of the population can use them. Like Portland is on the border so both Canada and the souther usa can use it. It would be nice to have server coverage like Europe but we likely don’t have the population playing like they do either.

    It doesn't matter where they add them but I feel like more could be done to improve stability and match quality on their end... I'm not saying this to cause any issues or have my post or myself removed from the forums again. I'm just trying to do my part to improve something that I genuinely loved to do when I got home from school, work or playing the sport on my free time. When I do eventually get it on sale later on I would hate to experience the same issues I had during the trial.

    Even if an additional data center isn't the answer I'd like just a bit of feedback as to why. All I've been doing is attempting to have a discussion about the state of the game.
