I jumped on Xbox to play the EA Access version with some old buddies (all west). 5 of 6 games were on east server! Absolutely horrible experience. Unacceptable. Allow us to force the region/server!
As far as helping to diagnosing the issue, did anything change last night? Was it an "off-night" or "slow night" for the tournament stuff? Did the servers get an EA boost pack? Or was it just rare dumb luck? Game was playable last night for the first time in almost a month.

That’s why I want EA to bring back the previous East, Central, West dressing rooms. It was also very helpful seeing the connections others had so I could determine whether to play with/against them or not.
I played a few last night and no "yellow bar hockey" was had
I was "room captain" for two and my friend was captain for two (he is in St. Louis). All games looked to be on the east and around ~13 ms which is my norm.
@BassMan_PC , sorry to hear that you are still running into the same issues, we don't have any updates on this as of yet.
Please make it a top priority as placing people on the correct server is essential for an enjoyable experience. Allowing us to manually choose or force the server is the best way to do it. I don't care how long I have to wait to find a game. I never want to play on the wrong server as it ruins the game.

Yep 2 games tonight. Probably 4 through the weekend. But that's just the ones I forgot to check ahead of time. Probably another 10 I quit before they start because latency in 60s instead of normal 10-12.
Also have to keep getting put in West coast server instead of East. Have to keep resetting until it fixes itself.
These are all problems that came about past month or so. Never before

dang that stinks.
I played three games after watching some playoffs last night.
two games on west, had normal times.
one on east, but I didn't see if jump from 13ms to 63ms; had normal ping times.
could be intermittent so yeah I spose the prob could still be there, I just didn't exp the one game I was on east last night.
I didn't have this problem once for almost a monthly. Last night it happened twice. Most games 12ms. 2 games low 60s. The only times in history that I've seen performance that low is when I mistakenly get thrown into European hosted games
Both Thursday and tonight we were being placed on seemingly random servers.
The additional problem is you can't necessarily tell until the game is in progress. I'll still get a green connection when on the west coast servers but my ping will be in the mid 40s instead of the mid teens.
EA should either show us the raw number in the matchup screen or allow us to define our own red/yellow/green limits.
A teammate tonight had two games with 65% packet loss. It was brutal. To be honest I was shocked he was able to stay connected until the end off the game each time.
Normally I'd chalk this up to a network problem on his end but I noticed a few other people with the same complaints over on the ea_nhl Reddit.

all good.
1st time I have experienced something like this in years, so it seems like an anomaly.
it happens.
@EA_Roger
what is up with Answers HQ...

Disregard, seems to be directing me here now.

getting yellow bar 60+ ms after the game starts then it stays that way?
I didn't have it thru the weekend, haven't played today.

Has anyone else seen this problem lately?
