first i would try going wireless if you are wired...then try these steps
Hello! This is Blake and I am a specialist with Electronic Arts. I see that you are having an issue with connecting to opponents in NHL 17.
I know it can be quite frustrating dealing with connection issues as I am a gamer myself. I promise that I will do my very best to assist with this problem.
Is this issue still occurring or has the issue alleviated itself?
*If not, please make sure that you are on a WIRED connection and not wireless
