EA,maybe you should look deeper into a major UE (not Scandinavian - especially Finns) player's problem - low pings. How can we have an even game when Finns and Swedes have a ping <10ms and ours is 40-60ms and higher. Maybe there's a way to EVEN CHANCES for every player somehow? If there's a disproportion in pings value, maybe some software compenstion could engage? This difference is causing major anger while in match and often forces to disconnect from the play with great amount of anger. I have enough of opposite players skating around my D and my D responsing way too slow to be competitive. That's not the direction you wanted players using NHL20 to choose, isn't it? Yeah, the opposite - to take bigger part in the game and enjoy it. Am I wrong on that?Why aren't you thinking about getting into new servers, especially in middle Europe?Seriously, DO SOMETHING.

@EA_Aljo you are missing the point here.. its not about gold cards but ping advantage above all other stats making HUT team building meaningless and u dont need video proof to know that Fins in EU and QC in US region have that connection advantage

2 weeks and NO RESPONSE from EA, yeah - great support...Opening ports will do anything? I'd do anything to make the game let me play equally with others.My frustration is getting bigger and bigger with every day. I've just finished a game with a FINN 82-85 team, with my 87 overall, with WC, DK and AD syngergy's. My 96 speed player couldn't go faster than gold card Pasternak 🙂 3:2 OT loss in the end. Series of !@#$% in the end.

@EA_Aljo Что бы понять вам все это мучения попросите, что бы вам сделали пинг 60 поменяли маршрут до сервера и поиграйте неделю с людьми с пингом 5-15.@EA_Aljo That would understand you all of this agony ask, that would you have made ping 60 changed route until server and play week with people with ping 5-15.You will be surprised when hadman 84 at the start will overtake 92 McDavid. These miracles either as the artificial intelligence you have balance game makes either ping.This is a problem for every player. A lot of forums and groupsLink to social networks in Europe and a group of hockey, where 560x players! You can sdelat you survey 95% of people write may not play because of the ping. Teams with a lower over win with a higher one very easily, because the team with a high rating starts to play badly at once, to roll slowlyВы удивитесь когда хэдман 84 на старте будет обгонять 92 макдэвида. Эти чудеса либо как то искуственный интелект у вас баланс игры делает либо пинг.Это проблема у каждого игрока. Куча форумов и группСсылка на социальные сети в европе и группу по хоккею, где 560х игроков! Вы можете сднлать опрос вам 95% людей напишут играть не возможно из за пинга. Команды с меньшим овером выигрывают с более высоким очень легко, потому что команда с высоким рейтингом начинает сразу плохо играть, медленно кататься.https://vk.com/nhlut

would you like to play on equal terms? there are people with ping 5-10. in fact, no one would mind that the developers have made a setting in which a person could choose the best ping or play with people with the same ping. because it is a great torment to play with a very different ping. I paid for the game, not to be a player for an easy win.

Fellow Players!After few weeks of getting different information this is what we're told: no tilt, no scenarios, no handicap. We're crazy to think it's unfair or scripted that weaker player team with low ping can easily win a game with a team +5-6 in overall ratings. ABEL 85 CAN SKATE FASTER THAN rested 91 SERGACHEV. Deal with it.What is the reality: advantage of low ping if you're lucky to be near to the servers, EA support that sees no problem with us being frustrated with the game, there's not a big difference as I thought between skaters with 85 speed and 91. Boost especially Fins get with low pings is enormous, 83-84 sharpshooters will destroy your 90 D and 89 goalie, EASILY. They're fooling us somehow and don't give a damn about what we feel about the game. So lucky to be monopolist on the market of hockey gaming. You have absolutely no competition, don't need to take care about the even game for everybody.

Slow servers, low ping, compensation?

@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.
