Community ManagerThere's no gaslighting here. Connections are incredibly complex. There are a very high amount of variables that go in to making them perfect. We are but one part of that. Regardless, if you have some video showing the differences your talking about, feel free to post it. Anticipation is a huge part of hockey in general. Not just in our game. Reading the play and knowing how to react is going to give you a big advantage over opponents that don't have that same skill.
Even when I’m messing around in free skate my movements become delayed though. It’s not strictly an online mode issue. It really isn’t subtle either. Usually I’ll clear the game data, start up the game and the first few minutes of free skate are crisp and LTs and edges feel good. Then a few minutes later and my skater begins to do weird delayed movements, no good shooting animations, the responsiveness and player control just completely deteriorates. The same thing happens every single time I test the game for months
