Community ManagerYou're saying that your opponents are noticeably faster due to the distance. 300 miles shouldn't really make that much of a difference. As far as the poke checks go, I would need to see those replays zoomed in. I'm not seeing anything unusual in your videos. In the first one, your opponent is in a better position to regain possession. In the second one, you're recovering from a missed poke and your opponent, again, is in a better position to pick it up.
Also, what are you talking about 300+ miles shouldn't make a difference? It definitely does when opponent is a dozen miles to the server and I am 300+ miles?
This is Networking 101. These are your real answers, is this for real?
Community ManagerIn the second video, your poke missed. It didn't go through the puck.
You're also saying your opponent's players are faster. It would be good to see that.
On a good connection, 300 miles isn't going to be at much of a disadvantage. What ping are you seeing in game? Even in Texas I'm still playing people up north and can poke and skate just fine. I'm not saying everyone will have the same experience though.
Hey ea I totally agree with this guy. Him being a number one ranked player is very hard to be and for him to be all the way in div 2 struggling to beat anyone with lower ping then him is insane. These videos don’t do justice and I’m willing to show you my experience and how the lag is affected due to your location not connection. For example I will show proof of me beating a number 8th ranked online vs player and having a record of 144-17-3 in online vs with shared connection (no servers involved) (player to player) a fair game then my hut team this year with a brutal record of 97-88 like yikes there isn’t a hint to due with servers being involved? Even the games I win are flukes I must not lie I think it comes down to me knowing where the players will go before hand but anyone to similar skill to me blows me out the water sorry to bum bard you with all these comments on Monday morning
Community ManagerHello, @reddeer874
Your location can affect your connection. For example, if you're in a region that's farther away from a server, the dedicated server modes may perform worse than playing Online Versus. In that mode, you or your opponent are the host. That host could be closer to you than a dedicated server so the connection would be better.
