Slow servers, low ping, compensation?

@Gitarnik77 

I assure you this is not new to me. I have been talking to the community about ice tilt for several years now. It simply does not exist. No way, no how. Your wins are not given to you because the computer thinks you're going to quit playing if you lose.

@EA_Aljo 

haha, it's nice you keep it cool man. There's a problem but you can't identify it. Whether it is a problem with the difference in pings or something else. If I were in your position/job, I'd be dying to find out what the heck is up with that

@Gitarnik77 

I have looked into it. I've had many conversations with the dev team about this. It simply does not exist. Not in any form whatsoever.

@EA_Aljo 

what does not exist? Tilt or this weird speed advantage we all experiance?

@Gitarnik77 

I don't experience any speed advantage and many other players have mentioned they don't experience it as well.

I have repeatedly said now that there is no ice tilt. There is no speed advantage given to one team over the other. There is no artificial momentum. The computer is not forcing you to win when it wants you to.

@EA_Aljo 

We all know that you haven't experianced that. You said it loud and clear.

There's a problem. Definately. We have a problem

@Gitarnik77 

Thanks for the feedback. We'll just have to agree to disagree.

@EA_Aljo 

no problem! Any time!

We're waiting for the solution to have even game, sir. If you have any ideas how to solve this problem, don't hesitate and write here. If you There're some people watching the thread that I know of. This thread is for a reason - we all love hockey, we want to enjoy this game as much as possible.

There's some weird thing in matching teams where one with overall 90-92 BUT with 82-84 players gets visual advantage of speed, shot acc and save %. I played with a team like that and had FLAWLESS wins with guys full of 93-97 players. It really works 😃 sometimes you'll get defeated but it happens not often (of course if you play on decent level).

THERE'S NO POINT in buying packs, seriously :D unless you don't have anything to do at home in coronavirus era. So, to sum up...

OFFENSE

- get 2 very good lines (esp with high poise rating) 91-92, if it's possible

- 3rd weaker 89-90

- 4th 86-87

DEFENSE

- 1st 92-93

- 91-92

- 82-84

GOALIE - the bigger the better, Bishop, Marksman or Price, and you're set

PS some Fins were laughing at me for trying to hard to win, THERE ARE OTHER WAYS fellows!

UPDATE, from what I've recently learned. What helps to overcome this cruel handicap game is serving us while playing with teams build with one line 92+, 2nd little weaker, and next 1-2 lines with players 84-85, same with D.

SOMETIMES few things help if you're to play with such team:

- get your strategies as defensive as it's possible, literaly like you're in D all the way, not interested in scoring goals (wow EA great job, it's a lot of fun...)

- the advantage Snowflake (that's what I call these *'s that use handicap on purpose) is having is most of the times leaving your D and outskating it closely to the board, wishing for breakouts

- wait for him to get deeper and 1-2 of your players will get opportunity to get in front of the net for a breakout, BUT it is very possible that deadly speedster 85 Burns will catch you before you enter the slot, so be ready to fire up slapper - works most of the times with Goring 94, Malkin 93 etc.

- other way is scoring SHORTHANDED, yes you read it right. Handicap melts a bit when you're one man short, it is waaaaay easier to get in front of the net, and guess what 83 Parayko won't stop you if you have a decent level of skill

- when handicap is on it is very hard to score when I'm on powerplay, on attack it gets your D very high (randomly, even with setting as D as possible) and it's easy for Snowflakes to score shorthanded

- I noticed that when I play with Snowflakes and surprisingly do well, they stop playing for apr a half of a period and THEN it starts, crazy racing near the boards, on 10 shots they score easy 6-7

I'm playing in 4-5 div and sometimes have games with equal teams and I win 4:0, 5:1, 6:2 most of them. I appreciate when this wise matching machine gets me these players or the ones with good teams that really can play. What a pleasure to lose with them! Concert playing, dekes and fancy setting of plays. No * as@#oles scoring most of  the shots and 82-84 marvells in the net that save 96% :D

EA dudes, @EA_Aljo look into what people are telling you. We know what's your stand - there's no game advantage. I respectfully admit you don't know your game.
