NHL SERVERS!/New Servers
Can anybody tell me where all the NHL servers are located? Apparently there is a new North Central Server, Is this in Canada and where abouts if so?

@Socair What possible drawbacks would there be?

See my previous post…
You can search best region, but doesn’t mean you’ll find games easily. Unless you’re playing with AI in EASHL, I suppose you would match up with the same players over and over. I already see that as is. And in HUT it would mean longer wait times if you restricted the ping to your lowest. There’s far more players searching at any given time in the NE region than the NW.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m in AB too and it would be nice to play on 10ms or whatever. Just being realistic about possible outcomes with such a server.
- @Socair To me, ANY potential improvement on input lag is a massive benefit and nothing you described there would be a drawback
@Socair @dannythetemp @EA_Aljo @reddeer874
Well of course there is going to be more playing searching in the Northeast because the servers are better there. If they bettered the servers for us Canadian folk there would actually be way more people playing the game online. Nobody plays online in A good majority of Canada anymore because the Ping is so lopsided between the majority of the people playing with low PING. It’s unfortunate because people like myself want to stop playing this game entirely because of the connection issues.
- @Tedfox39 The best I can get is about 25ms, which I could live with if there wasn't input lag. I've felt "better" games with higher ping. I could fight through ping issues but I can't play this game adequately with whatever is generating the input lag, it affects everything you need to perform
- @Дэнниболлс Dear developers! Does EA have any plans to make a simple and fair implementation of the network connection? It just got to the point of absurdity. Not always, but very often, when playing with the Swedes or Finns, it is simply impossible to play! Although I have a ping of 15-17, but in such games the bot reacts to any button presses on the gamepad with a delay of almost 1 second! With my speed at 90 and acceleration at 90 and without fatigue, I am overtaken by rival bots that have speed and acceleration of 85! For our team, the puck does not stick to the sticks, but it sticks to the opponent. Defense Defenseman with a golden TRUSILENCE cannot hit the opponent's bot, and if he hits, he cannot shoot him down. Passes from opponents go right through the sticks and skates of our three bots, and our passes are always intercepted by the opponent. I have been paying money for this game for many years. But every year I get more and more disappointed, because the implementation of the network connection is dishonest!
I think you are confused about how server gameplay works. There aren’t “better” servers anywhere. There are more people in the North east though. That’s just population. That was all I meant about more people searching there.
You don’t play a team on separate servers ever. Everyone in the match is on one server. There isn’t anything possible outside of LAN matches to allow everyone to play on the same ping. Peer to peer does, but those connections are often unstable and can be manipulated by shady players.
I understand the server situation. I think it’s sad that the NhL online side of things in the North is failing because when the servers get over populated in the US it basically makes the game unplayable. People are frustrated and it seems to me that there is less and less teams or players that are playing a mode like World of Chel. I just think that if we got a server for Canadians there would be a large amount of players interested. But the more and more people that no longer play the game the harder it’ll be to ever get those players back.
