Regional Settings (Recommends a wrong region)

My friend and I live in Finland and should have 'Europe' as recommended server.

This afternoon my friend's regional settings in NHL had been changed. It's set to North American and cannot be changed back to Europe. This problem occurs only in NHL14 and other games are still playable on European servers.

We cannot play the game together because of this. He rebooted router and the Xbox, changed locale and deleted system cache but nothing is helping.

Any similiar problems, or a solution for this?

    We found a solution for this problem. The change is unfortunate but not permanent, the game does this automatically for some reason.

    If you want a quick fix, get the group of players having the issue to play one club game. It changes the recommended server as same as your club's, which would be Europe in this situation. Then enjoy playing Drop-in-games with right region settings until you restart your XBox and have to go through that again.

    EA said that it changes back to original after max couple of days,

    I have same issue and one of my team mates also. We live in Finland and it shows the recommended region to North America East. This is with PS3.

    we both have DNA internet connection. Don't know if the problem comes from there, or from EA.

    Now I can't play drop-in games at all with european guys, it always goes with North American guys and the lag is terrible.
