its a simple fix, and ea will never do it. they dont use dedicated servers....they use player's connections as the server. so you will always get lag switched (check their response on twitter here https://twitter.com/easportsnhl/status/791326322446381056 ), and you will always be at the mercy of the worst guy's connection. they refuse to fix the issue and dance around it with vague answers, because the fix is them spending some of their massive piles of cash we keep giving them, and they have no competition since 2k was pushed out by their (ea's) exclusive rights to the license. don't expect them to change if you keep handing them way too much money every year. they need another year of the players taking a season off to smarten them up, or finally wash them up.
