Desync Cheat?

Hi there, @SteelCityK1D

We should go through some connection troubleshooting to rule out any issues on your end. First, are you on a wired or wireless connection? Also,  has it been a while since you power cycled your equipment? If so, try doing it now with these steps: unplug your modem, router and console. After 2 minutes plug in the modem and router. Let them come back online completely. Then plug in your console and start it up. Let me know if that helps or not. Thanks!

My PS5 has a wired connection, I have cycled power to the modem and router and my console on the network. I had no problems with the game before or the game after this match without having to cycle power to anything which is why I was suspicious that there was foul play involved. It could have just been a strange coincidence with regard to the timing of the desyncs during that game but this is the first time playing NHL 21 (over 500 hours played, PS4 Pro before PS5 arrived December 20) that I ever experienced a desync. I have not had a regular problem with desyncs since NHL 18 or 19. I am more accustomed to the connection just being lost without a desync if there is a network issue.

It's certainly possible there was a hiccup in the connection causing this to happen. If it starts happening more regularly, we should look into it. For now, it seems you're ok.

It happened again this time after I had scored a few goals early in the first period, I think this is a bigger issue of people looking to avoid getting handed a loss and falling in the rankings. I feel it is not as widespread because of how much intricate knowledge you need in networking and that the average person will not know how to do it easily, and this is a console game so people are not pushing 3rd party software like you can on PC.

Like seriously, how hard is it to monitor successful packet transfer for both transmit and receive, set a threshold for a given ping. If the success rate of either of those falls below that threshold, that player disconnects and gets a loss.

It's more difficult to do this during Rivals matches as those are on dedicated servers. Is it just these 2 occurrences where you've experienced this?

Just want to add...

ive have EVERY NHL since nhlpa.

ive played every hut there after since release.

Im experienced and skilled enugh to notice everykind of glitch cheats and desync and eatiltsuck there is.

and in the desync case in 21 you will notice it more and more the higher division you get in rivals. Division 3 and up is just redicolus! 
there you Will also notice the bail out desync cheat.

like i Said... om skilled enugh to handle the play desync... but when the Noob opp. Notice im not leaving and im winning anyway.... the bailout cheat always occure and i get the loss.

so yes. There are loads of gamers cheating in everyway.

Ea has to start to handle the situation and start banning gamers for systematic glitching.

(Gameplay glitching, desync CHEATING and eatiltsuck glitching)

to earn the trust back from the veterans honest SKILLED gamers.

Can you explain the tilt glitch you mention? If you're talking about ice tilt, that doesn't exist.

As far as IP booting goes, there isn't anything we can really do about this. Players are having action taken on their accounts when they are caught cheating.
