Community ManagerI play EASHL on Xbox One so maybe it's a Series X thing. If you have any examples comparing the difference between playing Xbox and PS teams, let me know. I'll pass it on to the team. We're not aware of any issues though.
I play the PS4 version on PS5 because the playerbase is much higher but I haven't noticed Xbox players doing any worse than us (of course, we have the meta down-pat).
Which console are you all playing on? Maybe the X processes stuff slightly faster than the S in the same way I assume PS5 runs stuff better than PS4 (dear lord is there ever a delay - I loathe these seizure-inducing sync screens)
I think I made a post last year or 2 ago before cross play was a thing and suggested that I believed Xbox and PS had 2 different Sims. I thought this due to the fact people on Xbox rarely had problems with hitting and playing defense. They would often suggest they didn't have the problems we saw and many suggested we just play better. The other reason I beleived this was because the meta was different between the two consoles. Players who played on both would suggest that Xbox players played tighter defense and playstation players collapsed more (mostly due to PS players being unable to bump eachother off the puck and pokes not being efficient enough) what I've learned in games is that it doesn't take TOO big of a player base to get an idea of what the most efficient way to win is, and if players are playing different between the two consoles it likely means something is different even if minor. Idk if it's true or not, I dunno how games go from one system to another, I dunno why there would be a difference but it def needs to be investigated and if full cross play is released in 24 I'm sure testing could be easily done to see the effectiveness of stuff.

@EA_Aljo FYI - Disabled cross-play, still get paired vs Playstation players.....so another thing to add to the list of things that dont work.
Still can tell when we play PS players each time without looking just how suddenly im not allowed to poke anymore amongst other things.
man this game is just so frustrating.
Can you get me some video of both of these issues? I played PS teams the other night on Xbox One and had no problem poking them.
