Laggy gameplay on offline modes (PS5)
During the gameplay on offline modes the player movement feels a bit slow and laggy which look like it’s missing some fps or something like that. I did find this when playing offline HUT and offline...

Hi,
The easiest way to recreate is just to go into free skate on any game speed below 4 ( the effect is progressively worse the lower the speed. )
and skate left to right across the ice and then glide whereupon the jersey glitching is unmissable.
For added info this happens with:
- the vanilla disc with the PS5 disconnected from the Internet
- post latest patch whilst connected
- the PS5 running on a Sony Bravia TV at 1080p with no HDR. So, again, absolutely vanilla.
I'd rather play at game speed 2 as not everything is fixable via sliders, but in this instance, a core setting is visibly "broken" given NHL 21 doesn't do this.
Otherwise, enjoying the offline improvements made for PS5, thanks.
I read the Operation Sports review of NHL 22 and they said EA is aware of the issue and is looking into it.
"We do want to call out one issue that seems to be plaguing users on next-gen consoles (or at least the PS5 from our testing) where the frame rate does go through some dips and stuttering. This seems to only happen when you mess with the game speed, so it’s not impacting “default” settings online/offline or anything, but it’s an annoying issue all the same. EA is aware of the issue and is looking into it at this time."
One thing I disagree with there is "it's not impacting default settings", that depends on what preset you use. For me, the default game speed is 3 and it dips and stutters on that speed, as well as any speed under it. You definitely have to have the Game Speed set to 4 to not have the issue.
Hopefully EA will fix it soon, I think they will.
Absolutely, dude.
When I onboarded my settings, 3 was absolutely the chosen speed, I didn't touch the slider.
The speed is dictated to by what you pick as your main "arcade / competitive / full sim" setting on first use, so you're right, there is no "default" speed.
I have faith that this will be fixed, I feel the goalies still make some movements far too quickly with game speed at 4 even if you tone down reaction time.

Do you have a link to that response?
The team is aware of these reports and are investigating it. We appreciate you all reporting this on the forums and any updates surrounding this topic will be shared here.- @EA_Blueberry I'm glad the team is aware of this and are investigating it. We just want NHL 22 to be the best it can be.
There was no response from EA really, it was just stated in this review article. If you scroll down until it says Technical Quibbles. It mentions the issue but adds EA is aware and is working on a fix.
