Why is this game so bad, especially online?
Why has the auto slashing penalty on shots using hybrid not been fixed? It's already stupid that hybrid has a disadvantage against skill stick, but this one is a huge disadvantage. I've tried using t...

Community ManagerAre you getting this lag in every mode or just Online Versus?
It would be good if we had the ability to customize the button layout. You can do this at the console level, but that would affect every game and not just NHL. Skill stick felt weird at first for me as well, but once I got used to it, I couldn't imagine going back to the old controls.
Just online versus. I’m not sure if it’s a syncing issue, but I’ve noticed it’s sometimes (not always) fixed by pausing the game. But that eats my pause to fix it, and doesn’t always work. Pausing does, most of the time, cause the syncing circle to show in the top right corner.
Not sure if the pause fix is related, but I’ve noticed when other players pause the game, they move much faster like maybe they were having the same issue and it fixed it for them.

Online versus games don't take place on our servers. Either you or your opponent are the host. So, if one of you has a bad connection, both will feel it. Are you playing on a wireless connection by chance?

let me ask, it's always been interesting. Who is the host of the game? who invited or who is at home?
I often play tournament games, is there a need to change at home / away or is it better to re-invite for a fair game?
how is the delay organized for who is the host?
thanks- EA_Aljo
I believe the host is the home side, but I might be wrong about that. However, if either team has a bad connection, it's going to affect both teams. I'm checking on what decides who is the host and will respond when I have some news.
Edit: I have found out the home team is the host.
I play on a wired connection. But I’m away a lot. At least it feels that way.
After this TOTY thing though (no trade in), I may just be done anyways. This just adds another fail to your online game.

HUT is played on dedicated servers so neither side are actually hosting the game.
