I'm having the exact same issue.  I'm a fairly decent player and now I'm getting shut out by people I should steam role.  I can't play defence or deke because the input lag is so slow.  I'll push a button or move the joystick and my players don't respond for about a second making it easy for my opponent to walk by me or steal the puck.  I'm such a huge fan of the nhl series, but this issue is making online games unplayable and very frustrating.  It's not fun anymore.  My friends ask me to come online so we can play with our eashl team and i don't even want to now because i'm useless being behind the play.  The input lag happens to my friends sometimes but for me it's been every game.  I don't experience this in any other games i own, just nhl.  I've already optimized everything like opening ports and being hardwired and all of that.  It's nhl...  If this can't be fixed, i would really like a refund because the game is unplayable at this point.

    Same thing here.  My friends and I are all wired and if i can get a refund I am in for it.  It's unplayable.

    i have found this forum with people reporting the problem plus a ign review that indicate the problem.

    http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/10356791.page;jsessionid=06D864023DBF30E94080EF9F6C3BFE1F

    I have also disable upnp in my router, same thing.  Tried 3 routers.  Dlink, linksys and even try one pro which a fortigate and same exact thing.  We are in 3 different city, two guy are in the same.  Different providers so it can't be anything else then this game.

    Thanks

      Hi again, I found something. The is a bit better if you play over wifi. I was trying all kind of things thinking its on my end, but no! The freaking game is optimized for wifi play, which really suck. I can see now that 3 ot 4 games out of 10 are playable when I had wifi instead of wired. But seriously; Wifi introduce all other kind of flickers issues. So EA, please fix our wired connexion!!!

      So I think that the rest of the 6-7 games out of 10 are people that I play against on wired. You clearly see that people worry about lag and they are wired to ensure faster respond time (ms).

      Anyways, where we feel the problem is, its EA ignoring all the posts about this issue and no reply.. not even a little .. oh we are investigating.. come on EA..

        Im actually having framerate issues even offline. The crowd is jerky with its movements, with serious lag on replays. The players are somewhat better, but it is too distracting.

    I agree also with you guys. It needs to be fixed. Makes me so mad and I dont want to play it.

      I have this exact same problem. Won division 1 in NHL 15 and now can barely play against division 4 players due to the input lag. Extremely frustrating. How do we fix this/when is EA going to fix this?
