NHL26 matchmaking region restricted?
Hi guys, normally never playing CHEL. My last time was like 2022 or something. Now living in India, so my region is Asia-Pacific. While I connect to some games in HUT, I was not able to find any ...

The low population was already a thing in previous NHL versions. But still managed to get my games.
But NHL 26 doesnt even connect me anymore to any game. I had two games on the first Saturday a week ago during early access. After that nothing anymore. And if I see that people in North America can connect easily to games, I feel that there is some region restrictions maybe
saying this: I finally had my 3rd game in 8 days :D
Correct, I am still not able to find any games in drop ins and only if I have friends who matchmake and are in EU or NA region, they can find games easily.
It's very frustrating. And also the high ping is pain, I am not sure what's happening, is the game geo tagging us to asia pacific and then from there connecting to EU or NA servers? I don't know, maybe a Dev can help on this. Can anyone please tag them in this thread?

I'm currently looking into this. thanks!
It's incredible how little you guys care about your customers.
Zero communication, zero assistance. Just a massive **bleep** to all of us.

What region are you located in?
Apologies, I'm in Asia-Pacific (Australia) as well! I didn't get notified of your response, and I didn't see the "show more" in the thread until now!
