My team notices because we need to focus on ping rates as discussed. We get games that connect fine for all of us but it’s a matter of staying focused on who’s pinging what. So if any team is going to noticed a difference in labeling ping rates it’s us.
All I’m saying is most aren’t that observant, especially these new players coming from games like Fortnite or COD where connectivity isn’t even a consideration because those games are literally built to play smooth online.
So what’s going to happen it’s younger players, less educated players, and non observant players are going to connect to these games, cry about connection, and unless it’s addressed EA won’t even consider this being part of the problem because well, connection is always being complained about so it’s nothing new and no big deal.
Honing in on small details like this is the difference between a game we play because it’s the only hockey game out there, and we actually enjoy playing EAs NHL. If EA is going to win back this community, start small and fix these ridiculous issues that only hurt the experience.
Sorry I didn't mean to make it seem like you were, I understand.
My memory is horrible but I vaguely remember ping thresholds having changed from laat year but that was at launch - I can't speak for any further changes after the last patch.
I've asked for various changes to matchmaking over the years, hopefully we'll see some changes and more stability down the road.

@TTZ_Dipsy Starting with the minimal and just having ping rates accurately rate your odds of a good or bad connection is a good start. Telling me it didn’t change doesn’t make it acceptable. It did change, I’m not high haha. If it wasn’t an intentional change, more reason to catch this post and go let’s go fix this

Thanks for all those details. I'll keep an eye out for other reports of this.
