Input Lag/Unresponsiveness
New game, same issue. Since last January. Not my first rodeo posting here! To get the jump on the response: Xbox Series X, 1ms monitor, all hardware has been swapped multiple times (including my sys...

@someyounguy420The fact that OP says it feels good at 3am makes me think it is some server issue along the network and in the middle of the night it is not as busy and less traffic management.
The last week I have played around that or later 3 times. It's uncanny how around the same exact time, my connection resolves. Uncanny. But it's not just online; the flip will switch, and I'll go into offline free skate too, and it's much smoother than at any other time. Truthfully, when I played NHL22, I would notice this too now and again.
3 weeks without an EA response here, 1 year with a generic "we'll look into it" with no direct developer input, and I've yet to comprehend how offline gets input delay. To my post right above this, I'm convinced that "offline" isn't really "offline" and that the issue is upon the game loading. It's not just EASHL I get my delay or offline; it will happen in non-server online shootouts, for example.
Have you ever felt like your player just won’t sprint up to full speed? Or even get close to full speed? First game of the night I always can sprint and it’s decent. Then the subsequent games it legitimately cannot pick up the puck, sprint, or get involved in the play whatsoever. It genuinely feels like what is on the screen isn’t even actually happening because I’m just a step slow constantly
- @9up3dprurovj One of the more apparent issues with my delay is my player's inability to START sprinting, which doesn't help my player feel fast. Especially when slower players catch me. I'm spamming left stick, and it just refuses to animate into sprint, so it looks like I'm chugging along. When it works normally, I can sprint, cut, sprint easily -- and I use 94 acceleration/speed.
It's just another manifestation: my left stick turns freeze me, my right stick almost doesn't even register or is painfully slow, my player always is late on reactions, I have zero hit bubble and can't avoid anything, my pokes seemingly cannot connect (despite a poke check x-factor), I can't one touch passes or passes in general won't leave my stick. It feels like I'm in an alternate dimension with the physics engine. Because I am.
