I am in NY and my buddies are in Saskatoon (Canada).
Community ManagerI 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.
Community ManagerThat'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?
