Camera Angle Issues
Everything was fine since the latest update even played last night. Playing right this afternoon April 23, the angles are messed right up. It's lagging, nothing is obstructed however it's slow. Just so happens I'm playing Be A Pro with Utah and it's a home game. Heads up. EA might be something to look into, again.Game feels more responsive in Wildcard than Ranked/Champions despite higher ping
Hey everyone, I wanted to bring this up and see if anyone else is experiencing the same thing in NHL 26. I’ve been playing both Wildcard (Threes) and Ranked/Champions, and there’s a very noticeable difference in how the game feels: In Wildcard, I usually have around 48–50 ms ping In Ranked/Champions, it drops to about 38–40 ms So in theory, Ranked should feel better… but in practice, it’s the opposite. In Wildcard, the game feels fast, smooth, very responsive... but in Ranked/Champions it feels heavy with a very noticeable input delay... overall less responsive The difference is big enough to affect the player control, the shooting timing and for defense (poke checks often feel late, etc.) Possible reasons? Is anyone else experiencing this? Right now it just feels very counterintuitive: better ping, worse gameplay feel. FYI: Im playing on Playstation 5. Thanks in advance!Post-Update 1.4 input lag
Hi. It's been a week since the last patch, and the game still isn't working properly. It's not just the slow menu in the HUT or the laggy pack opening, which others have reported, but also the constant input lag during matches. I know not everyone has this issue, but I've been experiencing it for seven days now. After last week's patch, the game became barely playable for me. Until last Wednesday, before the patch, the game ran flawlessly, without any input lag. I also read on the forum that someone is having a problem where their team suddenly slows down, for example, towards the end of a match. I'm experiencing similar issues. Even though my entire match is sluggish, there are times when it gets a little better, or suddenly worse, so much so that the AI players don't even know what they're doing. It's becoming very irritating. I don't know how I lasted a week, but I'm already physically and mentally exhausted because the conditions I play in demand 200% concentration, which ultimately exhausts me. But most importantly, there is no fun in playing this game, even if you manage to win. It's hard to create any good plays, even shots come out weird, and it's hard to position yourself defensively and switch players in time. Sometimes it seems like the match starts at the right pace, but after 10-15 seconds, input lag appears. Network status during the match shows the same values as always (24-29 ms), even before the update, so they don't affect the input lag. The game feels like it's being played with a 100 ms delay. I forgot to mention that a slight delay is noticeable even in Moments, which are supposedly played offline but are somehow tied to the server connection. Ranked, HUT Champion, and Wild Card are a complete pain. I've tried everything – turning off my router/modem + resetting to factory defaults, setting different DNS, unplugging the console for a while, reconfiguring the network on the console, reinstalling the game, use two different controllers, rebuilding the database... All to no avail. Of course, I checked to make sure it isn't an issue unrelated to the NHL, but the console and other games run normally. I even launched HUT in NHL 25 and everything seems to work fine there. If anyone else is experiencing a similar problem, please join the discussion or at least give them a thumbs up, as it's unclear if the Team is aware of the issue. Until this is fixed, I think I'll give up on playing NHL, as it's not fun. Team, please do something. Thank you. Playstation, central-east Europe.
Game freezes, lags and speed up.
Im getting really frustrated with the lag, freeze and speed up packet loss. Are the servers broken because it's happening more and more. I'm a goalie so it's frustrating when it freezes, lags and speeds up on saves. Please fix tjis because it's on EA server side. It's not my internet this is the only game that does it. If you tell me to reset my modem I'll explode.Human goalie quitting in WOC
Recently just got into a 3v3 club match where the game froze right on the introduction screen. Eventually the game started after I messaged the other team, who had a record of 110-6, to “take off the lag switch.” One player from each side disconnected. After playing the first period with 2 skaters and a goalie on each team, their goalie was no longer in the game starting the second period. I’m convinced they found a loophole to play teams with human goalies but have a CPU goalie on their team. They were nowhere near good enough to have a record of 110-6… Why is WOC allowing goalies to DC without forfeiture?
