Does EA have any plans to make a simple and fair implementation of the network

Dear developers! Does EA have any plans to make a simple and fair implementation of the network connection? It just got to the point of absurdity. Not always, but very often, when playing with the Sw...

@v_kashtanov Technically the game is dead. And EA doesn't want to answer uncomfortable questions. There is no competition, they will still buy the game.
Hire normal network developers. Just like other games! What are we paying you for?

  This guy goes 18-2 in Champs a few weeks while on work trip while in Vancouver/Victoria and Montreal.
  In Edmonton and his home town Calgary he can barely get 7-8 wins in Champs.
  Do you really need to see the footage?

  @EA_Aljo Of my friends, more than 7 people have already stopped buying this game. And some did not even buy a PS5. Since they played on the PS only hockey. For many years, the network mode in hockey has been implemented incorrectly. I participated in the development of real-time systems and I know what it is. I think that most likely I will not want to buy this game anymore. Although I really like cyber hockey.

    @v_kashtanov Im finn and playing against swedes is a horrible experience. The server is apparently in Stockholm. Server proximity is kinda huge handicap for some and lag compensation doesn’t seem to as it should in this game.
