Online disadvantage from Saskatchewan
Terrible from Saskatchewan today. it may not look like lag per se, but something is going on. I’m no pro, and I don’t mind losing to good players, but all teams I play against today (and most days)...

Bad from Saskatchewan here again tonight in Rivals.
I want to play this game and do enjoy it when server connection is fair, but that is rare this year. This is getting frustrating, feel like quitting the franchise.
Still bad this weekend again. Team is playing in mud. Can’t generate anything.
Why grind to get better players when player stats, strategies mean nothing at all?
I had my share of sluggish games last year too but this year is absolutely horrendous. Always a step behind.
Game after game like this now! Absolutely brutal!

Hi there, @Br4ymatter
As you suspect, most likely this has to do with your distance from the closest dedicated server. What is the ping you're seeing in-game from the pause/stoppage screen?Typically it is always around 40 on average, but it varies at times. Seen it get up to 44/45 or low as 34/35. Rarely ever in 30s though.
Regardless what it shows, the game play can most times, feel a step behind (even when at 40) and then other times it’s shows 40 and it’s perfectly fine. Rarely fair though this year it would seem.
Ironically, I recently played around with max ping setting and even set it to 80 and to my amazement, gameplay was super fast. Still felt like opponent had advantage but my team seemed faster too at least.

Having a 45 average isn't bad. As far as feeling a step behind goes, does your TV have a game mode you can enable? Also, if you're on PS5 or Xbox Series X/S, make sure you're using the HDMI cable that came with your system and not an older one.
