I just played a Rivals Game with Max Average Ping Search setting set to 30ms, took me 15 minutes to find someone (anybody still playing on Xbox One in Europe?).
Before the puck drop I checked the connect as usual, Avg Ping Response 51ms, Highest Ping Response 77ms, Lowest Ping Response 32ms.
Game was unplayable, I quit after the second periods being down 5:9, my Bishop didn't even react at times, he had a shooting percentage of 80%...
Why do I have to spend my time with something like this? It's just not fun anymore, why are we being forced to abandon this game?
@EA_Aljo
I've known @Codo37 since NHL09, it's not his ISP's fault (1Gbit connection by the way). We had no problems until the True Skating Engine was introduced and he (and me), we've tried everything over the years (I installed CAT 7 network cables, my Xbox is in the DMZ, I once even disconnected all my Wifi and LAN devices when playing HUT Champions...), the fault is clearly with EA, no doubt.
@Knuten21
It's not exclusive to the NHL-Series, check the Top Post on the Fifa Subreddit from Today, I just think the Net Code on EA Sports games overall is broken. But as long as there is no transparency about the servers and the way the connections work one can only speculate. In the end you can just quit the game (or play VS, that's P2P)...playing competitively like the guys in Finland, I don't know how they do it.
What did you want to know about how connections work? Your console connects to your router, which goes through the network your ISP routes you through. We don't give out specifics about our servers since that's a security issue.

As always, a thread about this slowly dies. EA, with a Trump-ish attitude, blames everebody except themselves and nothing wil be done.
But if you, EA, do address this issue, investigate it and hopefully solve it, please let me know in this thread so I can convince my team to start playing again. If not, good bye.

This sums it, no solution, blame the player, if nothing works let the thread die. Its the serverloacations or the nezcode cause all other onlinegames for me played fine. So the problem cant be on my side … thanks for nothing (but excuses) again
