Connection in Versus

Has anyone noticed the connection has been particularly bad in versus as of late? Even with green bars, the game feels nothing like it did a couple of weeks ago. 

I thought it might have been my controller at first, so I switched controllers but the same deal happened. Sometimes you also have off days where the game simply doesn't go your way, but this is different. So I ended up playing a couple periods offline and the difference is just night and day. I know it will never feel the same as offline play, but I used to be able to do much more on the ice. Now the delay just feels like I can't really do much. I have a great connection btw. 

Could it be work on the servers that is causing some delay?

    Hi there. Online Versus matches don't take place on our servers. That mode uses a peer to peer connection. This means either you or your opponent are the host. If one of you has a bad connection, both will feel it. 

    You may want to go through the connection troubleshooting steps here in case there's an issue with your connection. If you're on WiFi, it would be best to switch to a wire.
