NHL 18 LAG and button DELAY

So here's what I've found.  I too have this controller lag problem.  Basically you can press the button 6 times before it works, if you press the stick to move your guy, there's a 1-2 second delay before he starts to move, and of course when you want to stop, you're already way passed the spot you want to stop from.  Passing doesn't work unless you press the x 5 times, etc.  It's a delay or lag in the controller - but it's only during an online game.  It has zero to do with connection or strength of your internet service - this is evident if you play other games online and there's no issue.  Which also rules out the controller, the system, and anything else - this is strictly EA.  I've played NHL 18 since day one, and I JUST had this happen 2 nights ago.  If I restart my system, it works just fine for one game, and then the very next game it happens again.  So basically I have to restart my PS4 after EVERY game because I don't know if it'll work or not, and since we usually play 2 players, I can't quit because it will forfeit the game.  I have logged over 1000 online games in EASHL and this JUST happened 2 nights ago.  It blows my mind.  I immediately played the Division after it happened to see if it was my system, and that game worked fine - which is 100% online server based.  I'm sorry that I don't have a resolution yet, but at least I found that it's happening with several other players
