Ice Tilt

@EA_Aljo 

It's not working well if it's really on. Ping is 28ms, which with 5-7ms that Fins have is not enough

I'm outskated massively by weaker players. Burgeron 84 left behind my 92 Doughty and 2on0 they scored easy goal. I've got WC, BL, FB, TK, BM, DK, AD activated sir, 94 overall. Defending style of strategy and lose 8:1 with a team that second D line jest Burns and Karlsson 85.

Very well stated!!! I have 14 synergies activated including all 5 team synergies with a 97 overall team with 99 offence and defwnce and 94 goalie......

A 28ms ping is excellent. You're talking about a fraction of a second difference with someone that has a 7ms ping. That's not what is causing you to lose. According to the videos you posted, you were being outplayed. I regularly play on a 45ms ping and win more than I lose. Games feel fast and smooth. When I lose though, it's because I'm aware of the mistakes I made that caused that to happen. I also know when someone has higher skill than I. I use that to educate myself and improve my game. If I were to continually blame the game, I'd never get better. I'd advise that you focus on your own play rather than a 19ms difference in ping time causing you to lose.

@EA_Aljo 

From what I heard 20ms in reaction time here is massive and can cause the difference in game.

I'm outplayed by 82-84 players mixed with 92-95, but there's no difference in speed or for ex shot % between them - when the team is set like that.

How can I focus and improve when Ellis 82 gets faster behind my 91 Savard and then 92 Dought?!?!?! :D :D :D :D How...? And big Ben Bishop 82 saves impossible shots from 2on0?

We're in a point of the start of this topic. What I learned you recon is happening? I suck and blame the game :D :D :D mercy!

@Gitarnik77 

Can you show me video of an 82 outskating a 91?

An 82 can have high skating stats when a 91 can have low ones - factor in a +5 boost and say the 82OVR now has 90 speed and the 91OVR now has 99.

There is basically no difference at this point - the moment you pivot or whatever you're gonna be at a disadvantage. Instead of wasting your money on packs you should just build an 82 OVR team them; people have been saying too many synergies negatively affects your team anyway

@TTZ_Dipsy 

The idea that more synergies make your team play worse is a complete myth. I have 10 synergies active on a 94 rated team. I win more than I lose and I haven't noticed any negative effects whatsoever. Then again, I don't have confirmation bias affecting how I think since I know for sure that more synergies do not have a negative effect.

@EA_Aljo 

I'm just reiterating what others are saying; People can waste as much money as they want, it's all going to be taken away again next year. You removed reaching div 1 as a trophy requirement so I got what I wanted.

@TTZ_Dipsy 

did you try a team without any synergies but still high overall? does that help in anyway? I bet full team synergies f... up the thing

The more synergies I have activated, the more games I lose. Seriously.

@Gitarnik77 

Back when winning HUT games was part of the trophy requirements I just played non stop at the very beginning when everybody still had their own basic teams - no synergies, nobody knowing the cheese goals, it just came down to skill and (mostly) connection.

People have only claimed to do better at 5 or fewer synergies.activated at once. I don't know if that's actually true or just in their heads.

In theory, a high OVR team with no synergies should be the same as a semi-high tier team with loads of synergies. Other games have had bugs where overpowering your character does negative things by accident so its not impossible, but HUT is a pretty big deal in esports so I doubt it's going on here - just a case of bad luck.

@Gitarnik77 

No. I didn't try a high rated team with no synergies. That's not something I can really test. If you think synergies make you lose, stick to a team without them. I know Squad Battles are always way more challenging against teams with lots of strategies and I'm not seeing how they're being detrimental, but we'll keep an eye on this.

I give up at this point...EA is a joke and their developers are 4th rate at best....to continue trying the "we dont know what you're talking about OR this is simply not true..." is horse manure....I will never spend a cent again on anything EA as their servers are awful, their developers are terrible and nobody ever seems to have any answers for anything!!!!

@DontBeJealous 

We do have answers. However, some people are choosing not to believe them. When I say there is no ice tilt, that's a fact. It's most definitely not built into the game. We play this game ourselves and the competition is very important. We wouldn't want the computer picking a winner. It's all about personal skill and the overalls of the players on the ice that are determining the outcome.

If you're having connection problems, we can go through some troubleshooting. Keep in mind, the internet itself is under a heavy amount of strain with much higher numbers of people staying home these days. That's something you can talk to your ISP about to see if you're being affected. If you want me to help with some troubleshooting, let me know.
