Tick Rate / FPS / Hz / Server Latency

Question

This game needs to be optimized for this generation console. It only runs at 60hz, Valorant that has now been ported to console runs a server update/send and simulation rate of 128hz with a receiving rate of either 60hz or 120hz depending on the user's settings. Even Call of Duty plays 12 player Team Death Match at 60hz server tick rate and has a 120hz mode in the settings for users with compatible hardware. Lastly NHL 25 server algorithm for World of Chel was amazing West and East Coast players had close to&nbsp; &nbsp;20ms - 30ms difference which made an enjoyable experience to play the game. With this latest update game developers put back a (best game location) and now being from Los Angeles I find most games are now 85ms - 100ms just like every year prior to NHL 25. My Internet Provider has been the same for years and have constantly upgrade my plan when available and service checks to make sure everything is running correctly. The fact is there are more Northeast players than West. The only way fair play works is by removing (best game location) and (region) of the clubs, have a fixed search by the average player location in the que. Which means utilizing the North-Central, Central and South-Central servers.

Hey there. Try setting the filter to strict. That will get you connected to players more in your region. If you have it on relaxed, the search will expand to include players farther away. Which will give you a worse ping, but may find games faster.

Yes, this is true and will work but if I have east players playing on my team, they will sometimes have 75 plus ping. 65ms ping is ok to play on, so long as the average player in the lobby playing with or against is at 40ms - 65ms. My club's region is set to SOUTH CENTRAL which is the best server between Los Angeles, Toronto and New York. We all ping about 45-55ms on that server. Whether the filter is set to strict or relaxed it only seems to matter of who is the one searching. After the last patch just before February 28th, 2025, is what is causing this complaint. THE START OF NHL 25 WAS PERFECT, I NEVER FOUND A GAME LESS THAN 40ms BUT NEVER OVER 65ms AND THE SAME GOES FOR MY FRIENDS FROM NEW YORK AND TORONTO. Now we range somewhere between 15ms - 95ms depending on if it's a Montreal server or a Los Angeles server. Which is fine for the host but then the rest of us is at a huge disadvantage and hurting our team. we play 6v6 in world of chel.
