It's possible, but it depends just how far. For example, I am in the SW US and have no problems playing with friends in the NE US. We normally play on the north server closest to them. Where are you and your teammates located?
I am in NY and my buddies are in Saskatoon (Canada).

I think that's your issue then. You're pretty far from your buddies. Do you ever try being the captain? I believe the server closest to you would then be chosen, but your buddies would probably have a pretty rough connection or disconnect.

Well, we have found that the buddy that is the furthest south in Saskatoon generates the best Ms for the team. Yet, while I would be anywhere from 15-21Ms, I would kicked mid game from the EA Server.

That's an amazing ping if the game is hosted by your teammates in Saskatoon, it's possible they could be ending up on a west coast server. It would be either there or the central US one. Either way, I don't see how you'd be getting a ping that high so most likely, a server closer to you is being chosen. If you play with people closer to you, does the same thing happen?
