It will be better soon. As people reach the end game of Anthem and dont want to hit the higher difficulties with the missing health/armor bug in place they will leave and the server draw will go back to normal.
Quite a few people blaming EA for their connection problems, all I can say is that if it is on EA’s end why do we ALL not have these problems?
Well, that’s the million dollar question.
There’s no doubt that there’s an issue (many people are affected), but what’s causing the issue is the mystery. To make matters worse EA has been suspiciously quiet on the matter....
For the record, l am also experiencing all of the same lag and ping spike issues others are reporting. Never had a connection issue until the last patch.
Not enough details from people that are seeing it.
Where ya located
Who's yer ISP
Wired or WiFi
Router model
Modem model
Or is it a combo box
Console type
Is it present offline as well
Does it lag start to finish or start mid-game with what appears to be a frame issue then it becomes out of sync
Details....
Also: are you talking "input delay" (fat man lag) or latency spikes where the game speeds up and slows down.
Also, is your NAT open
Is the disk or content stored on internal or external storage
Is your console set to instant on, power saver, etc.
And what is your ping time when seeing the issue
Ping times when you are not seeing the issue
If club, are all members hard wired
Are all members from same region
Who hosts the matches / where are they in relation to you
I’ve been getting some lag since the update. I know the performance shows the real number now, but I’ve never had 90ms as a high in any of games before the update. Somethings up, and it’s certainly not me.
All I can say is that I have been playing online for years on various connections. Some lag because of being on the wrong servers, some lag because of roommates streaming. I know this game well and since this update not only me but others that I have played with for years are noticing it too. To be honest it was relatively smooth sailing up until this point. Whether it is showing the true ping now or not something has changed for at least some of us (seems like a majority) since the latest patch.
you both have valid points... I am just sayin that 1) not everybody is going to necessarily have the same issue, 2) some here have complained about seeing various types of lag / latency for years now and 3) there could be more than one issue going on for some users
and for those reasons, these details should IMO be parsed out.
Jesus christ EA, why can't you get your servers working, and why do I expect better? Because for 2 days it was passable, and now it's garbage again. I was actively taking speed tests on my connection during the game. My ping was 13 and download speed 478. Yet in game I could do nothing. Why? Because my ping was 480 and averaged 90 for the game. According to your network report. Hmmmmmmmmm

You really shouldn't take Speedtests during the game. It heavily affects your gameplay.
Most of my buddies are experiencing it. The best way I can describe this sudden change since the update is that the game plays like a sluggish NHL 18 again.
I wish they kept the Beta tuners. Everyone on here seemed quite thrilled when they rolled back. And now we have NHL 18 again it seems.
Their silence on this issue seems quite suspect as well. I think they know something changed. Hopefully it is fixable and not them moving to a cheaper server provider that is in the middle of nowhere. It is just far too coincidental that my 32 ping now actually feels like a west coast match up (I'd get 40-50 on west coast) I was fine at my regular 18. Visual fix? Doubt it. I am a high CR player and have played thousands of games since NHL 09, with varying degrees of lag for different reasons. So like I said earlier I know my connection and I know my ability in this game, both of which are mysteriously suffering since this update. I am not one to come cry on the forums after losing a couple of games. I still havent lost since this new update so hopefully that speaks to me being unbiased here. There is an issue (for a lot of us at least) 100% since this update. I am starting to think they moved to a different server that is further away. Maybe more South or West (I think they were in PA before? My friends from Philly and Pittsburgh always got 4-8 ping)
[quote="BoboFloggins;c-2053420"][quote="normanethan;c-2053262"]It is so bad, the lag is a game killer. How can they not unroll this tuner immediately! It's unplayable.[/quote]
I highly doubt it’s the tuner, the patch maybe. I have not had any real lag since the switch to servers (hut). The worst I have had since then is a couple of games have looped once during the game then no problems the rest of game.

It started after that last Turner for me.
Playing again tonight and this is DEFINITELY NOT a visual fix!
