Playstation still has huge advantage over Xbox.

PSA: PS still has huge boost online. We pretty much lose or struggle to win all our games vs PS players. They are usually the worse players who force plays nonstop because they know they can get...

I personally have never noticed a difference between PS and Xbox. I've won/lost against PS players just as often as Xbox. Not saying there's no issue. It's just my own experience.

@EA_Aljo Do you play 3s? Its pretty obvious in 3s because of the space. In 6s its much more mitigated.

My club started playing 3v3 Quickplay matches before everyone gets on so I get a couple of those in before 6s. I haven't noticed a difference vs PS players. Again, it's just my personal experience. I don't know if there's an actual issue here or not.

@EA_Aljo One thing is its not every game. I assume based on player skill and knowledge of whatever the exploits are. But you definitely see it more often than not where the players just act like jets that turn on a dime and accelerate up the roof. They also pickup most free pucks even if behind you. They just seem unnaturally quick to me.

We'll need video of this in order to investigate it. If you get some, please let me know.

If there was an advantage it would have nothing to do with the actual game and more about how the gaming hardware handles things. Can't remember what year it was where people preferred Playstation version because they felt checking was harder.
Here is an old topic about controllers and such. Take it with a grain of salt.
