HUT is fundamentally broken

I used to spend hundreds of dollars every year on this game; you guys are leaving so much money on the table. For the last five years or so I’ve been buying later in the year at a discount but this year I decided to buy it early. I regret it. 

Why are the menus laggy? its 2026. Why are the menus laggy??? 

Why is my team’s performance based on what I can only imagine is proximity to the server? This is severely flawed. I have a wired connection with 2gb download speed btw and I don’t experience anything of the sort from any other game. I can play R6 siege on servers on the other side of the continent and still perform.

 For example: You'll have a fatigued player carrying the puck with greater agility than a higher rated opposing player who isn’t fatigued thus making it nearly impossible to knock him off the puck. That can’t be how this game is programmed, right? Have any of you ever played hockey? In reality, Most players cannot evade multiple opposing players for continuous extended periods of time. They are usually forced to pass the puck. The connection should not determine one team’s performance over the other. It’s not a real competition and that makes me think I’m wasting my time playing this. Even when I win I feel like it’s not actually me winning the game. The person on the bad end of the connection is at a severe defensive disadvantage. It’s even hard to draw a tripping call. You can literally spam poke check to try to stop the play when your opponent is in god mode figure skating around your defensive zone and it rarely leads to a penalty. 

Why are the leaderboards showing tens of thousands of people as being ranked on the leaderboard? It can sometimes take minutes to find a match. Sometimes you can’t even find a match. Why are you falsifying the leaderboard? There’s no way there are 30k+ people playing HUT.

    I believe they addressed the menu speed in a video and said something was in the works for 28

    I agree tho that this year has been an absolute disappointment of a game.  I get that every release has its issues, but this **bleep** is atrocious. 

    I get an avg 22 - 24 ms ping on COD servers vs an average of 34+ in NHL.   The rare times Ill be blessed with a 24 ping connect... and not sure how in Plat 5 i manage to match up with the same player back to back at 6 pm EST.

    Total control should have buffed effects,  in games with a ping bias and someone using total control. it just feels pointless to play.

    Its not hockey anymore,    its arcade garbage.   It seems that EA has limited to NO **bleep** given how this game performs.  Maybe EA needs another class action lawsuit, not my dept tho

    Stick lift spam is out of control.     

    I dont expect a fix for everything .........but EA needs to address this somehow , to some extent and not force  EA_Aljo be the scapegoat.  FFS how about they get an ai generated response if someone in the company is unable to properly address the issues.  Its too late to say not to spend money,   because the game is purchased and paid for.  There's definitely no temptation to spend any further money on this product until theres a visible attempt to address some of the bigger issues.  Im probably reaching but  where is the accountability ?
