Community ManagerEASHL received some of the biggest changes in years based on community feedback. It's an extremely popular mode and receives a lot of attention. What did you like better about NHL 15 over 22?
@EA_Aljo The ability to find 6v6 games, choose teams, and play a full game without being dropped wasn't a bad feature back then.
It is pretty bad. We are a NA West club and we have to play way too many laggy games on east servers just to find a game. Even when relaxing location it is a struggle to find games. Falling back to drop-in (terrible) doesn't always get us a game either. Sadly, we are all top 100 players in EASHL/Drop-in PS5 and we are not that good and don't even play that much. So, that just shows that there are not many people that play this game. This game desperately needs cross-play.
EA_BlueberryHey, everyone.
We're not aware of any plans for adding cross-play for NHL 22, however I am anticipating once the new consoles are purchased this holiday season we'll see the player base increase. With the timing of this launch, players tend to hold out until Black Friday deals and general holiday shopping. When I was a kid I always got the flat out no from my parents around this time of the year when asking for a new game because they waited until mid November. ☹️
We're not seeing any major issue with population right now. It could be specific to region and time of the day when queuing up. In general, the weekends will always have more players online because of no school and work. If you are having some trouble matchmaking let us know what day, time, and region you're queuing up from. Those will be important details to be aware of.- @EA_Blueberry If there's no issue with population, why aren't folks able to find 6v6 games anymore? It happens, but it's the exception and not the norm anymore.
