eashl in shambles

i'm not being negative here but being honest.....this years game is an absolute disaster. this is the worst ive seen any of the the nhl games since it began. nothing works. the connection is terrible.the tripping and penalties all make no sense. the hits from behind are the only ones that do. worse now since the update for everyone is the ping and connection issues.
i am not here to complain for myself but my teammates in eashl are shocked as well. we cannot count how many teams i have seen have a guy get kicked out of the game as its loading on either team. i cant count now how high the pings are in every game. we went from the last few years from 17ms with a delay one in 10 games, to now every game being between 30 and 80. it doesn't even seem to be the right number it represents half the time now. i told my teammates when this game first came out in September when 40ms became the new green status that something was up and they were going to try and hide this. it seems like we can skate in mud at 30ms and the next game be 30ms and be fast. one thing it does for sure do is lag 100x since the update a few days ago. it is almost unplayable and not worth playing for sure.
the game play is so badly off in every way its terrible in eashl. i would like to know in 2019 how this is possible? i would like someone at ea to please give us an explanation on what is really going on and if they will ever try and fix it? . all the other games out there have like 64 multiplayer servers and we need maximum 12? i am shocked that they are allowed to put out a product that is so badly broken in so many ways. when this started happening we were all accepting of it on our squad and said oh they will fix it in the next few weeks. the opposite has happened....it has regressed.
i think we should all think with our wallets next season and not get this thing all together. i am shocked and sadened to see this game in this state. i remember when nhl 15 was such a big deal and everyone was up in arms over it not being up to par and now, this is much much worse. i am sad to say this is my last year as a customer. this group of developers shown time and time again they cannot get the job done and please the fan base. 80 dollars here in Canada and we cannot find games, we cannot play games and if we do we lag every time with all having internet 300 and one of our guys has internet 600. we have waited an hour many times just finding a game in eashl that doesn't go or we get dropped out or the other team looses members. i have been buying this product since it came out. i remember playing the very first year on sega genesis as a kid. i hadn't gotten it every possible year but close.
i have never been bummed out like i am about the product until right now. it seems it is an all time low. i will never understand why all the other multiplayer games in the world don't have these problems but the nhl franchise games do?. are there other games out there that you guys out there in the world know about that are the same as this? maybe if there is a fix or they have been fixed that there is an answer? why can ea not answer or address or admit that we are not all crazy out here playing this product that doesn't work? why do they not keep their customer base informed. we as consumer's keep this product running. i think they should care much more about us than what is happening here. do any of the players here have an answer? is there knowledge out there in the community of why it is the way it is? thanks to all who read

Example before the latest patch, ping would of said 14, after the patch it now says 28. Your actual ping is the same @28.
EASHL got the worst of it, and Drop In really got screwed. Instead of fixing things that were broken at the start, like replays, they just removed them. Instead of fixing the matchmaking, they just pushed it off to 2019 version. Who know's if it'll be fixed there.
EA, and clearly the people who work on these games, have long since forgotten how to create a stable, viable product actually worth the AAA price they keep slapping on it. Sorry EA, just a pig with lipstick on it now.
I will say though I feel it a lot less when I am using a smaller build in height/weight but the puck pickup and delayed actions factor is still there.
go figure its becuz the game plays more realistic then any years past
Agreed, I'm a middle of the night player and not only is the connection better but the talent pool as well. I play once in a great while in the day and I lose my mind.
