It´s ridiculous, i could play for a few days and the gameplay was ok. I tried 6-7 matches today and it is absolutely horrible. All my opponents are skating circles around my team and as soon as i get the puck i have a problem moving or passing the puck before i get at least one opponent AI crashing into me because of the input delay. It´s impossible to intercept passes, the puck goes straight through my players even though i´m right in the passing lane. It´s impossible to take the puck from the opponent, they get it right back every time and just continue with full speed. I´m playing severely handicapped in every single game. I don´t care about the reasons, a competitive game cannot behave like this.

In-game the connection showed 5ms flat line. I also ran ping-plotter against the game server and it looks great, 6ms avg to the hop before the game-server. The connection is not the issue.

    @99manfrottin66  It's exactly how you described it.

    I tried to play HUT Champs this morning. First game was pretty good. I won it, felt good. High hopes this point. Then some point in the second game's first period I was leading the game 3-0 and it started again and it's been just big bag of dogsh*t since.

    Don't know but something also happens when you score few goals and lead the game. Suddenly your team stops moving and every thing you do feels so heavy. Can't understand what's behind this.

    Makes me so angry because obviously everyone is not having these at least these input lag issues and we who have those just can't compete.

    Yes, some games I feel my own AI intentionally cut me off or follow me, get in the way, more than once.

    Take a few weeks off and back to the same old crap. 19 ping solid hard wire no packet loss and no lag but I can't move my players. My opponents have flawless connections skating circles around me and I can't move my team at all. They're at 30+ ping and me on 19-20 so delayed it's not even funny. I can't check anyone with the opposing magnet like physics. Every shot and button is delayed. Game is literally a joke. OVP plays perfect and yet to lose a game there in 50+ games.

  • I have to walk away from the game if I want to stay a sane human. I want to write something that describes my situation but i think everything has already been said and nobody gives a damn about me or the others in the same situation.

    @HEP2214No repley from Devs … cause they don't care. If you post that a jersey is shown wrong they write " we will report this problem to the devs" but the fatman lag will never be fixed cause it would cost them money for new servers or whatever. I lost to crappy teams 5 in a row with 80.85 OVR players with my good team and have the same problems like you. Impossibel to play … thanks again EA for nothing!

    Look at this thread … here they answer in a hurry. Cards = Money

  • Just bough the game and I feel a slight annoying delay in passing compared to NHL 21 even with good ping

    now that the game doesn't work let the wreck move because we won't get the repairs and it's 2022 that there was once the NHL 23 resp. twice

  • My input delay has absolutely been worse over the last week than it has been in the prior 6-7 weeks. It alleviated somewhat in that timeframe, but it's basically back to the slop that made me post here in the 1st place. 

    Notice how few posts get made these days. Everyone has gotten the runaround so much that instead of the issue getting any sort of resolution, the disgruntled customers just couldn't complain anymore. They gave up. The EA go-between disappeared. This is the playbook.

    @DeliveryForKiki In deleted the game and the input lag went away. No chance I buy this series ever again. They got me this year but never again. They don’t care because they are selling copies..maybe they will start to care when sales are down. Its a complete shame.
