EASHL Lag

[wildhockey19]

I have searched everywhere since the game came out, but without any answers. I have 20mb download for connection, so thats not the issue. But every game I play with my EASHL team is a lag fest. I can play drop ins with out much problem just EASHL. I thought that this recent patch was supposed to clear some of these problems up, did this not take place?

Any help would be much appreciated.

I have the same issue with 30mbps down and 3mbps up, 5ms ping, 0 packet loss!
I am tired of playing with a delay!

i have this problem too. Just happens out of the blue for no reason. It sucks and I have no clue why it happens. Just on Eashl too.

Drop-in uses different servers than Club.

With club, when the away team, you can be forced to users servers in:
North America East, North America West, and Europe.

So if you're not from that region, you're at a disadvantage.

The difference can range anywhere from 30-100ms for the most part.

This is why so many people quit club play if they're not the home team.

Ya it's not a good situation. I've had problems since launch, and it was so unplayable during launch, that I stopped EASHL altogether until two weeks ago, and the lag seems quite a bit better for me now.

I also have a 50Mbps down and 5 Mbps up and it was brutal for me. The worst part is my friends who dont know squat about computer sciences were telling me it was my connection(when I had just finished playing fifa OTP while download a game from Steam @ 2Mbps and streaming a soccer match with zero lag.

I read somewhere, I cant remember where that EA messed up the network balancing system. So, when you have people playing a game online, supposed to be in sync, but they have different transfer rates, it's a real task to balance and smooth out the gameplay so it feels like youre controlling the game and that its flowing nicely. In reality there's a lot of prediction going on under the hood, and this person stated that EA had messed up the balancing state for people with overpowered networks. I'd have to say that I agree, especially since everyone I've read talk about this has had a better than average connection.

By contrast, some of my friends who have average to lower than average internet connections were reporting no problems at all.

I agree with you for the most part, and it makes a whole lot of sense what youre saying, but I was in drop-in and lobby matches with my friends who live down the street and have inferior internet connections, yet they had a perfectly smooth game experience while mine was *brutal*

I am having huge issues with this game.

Everytime i play an eashl club match a few things are happening

1) i ALWAYS.. always get hit and nudged off the puck. it seems as if i can't enter the zone without being targeted, and i mean it's impossible to stay on my feet

2) my computer always shoots the puck off a faceoff win, it never fails to happen. I win a face off and they blast all the time.

3) computer defence can't keep up with other teams forwards, often making silly mistakes that give the other team 6-7 break aways a game.


if anybody can tell me what im doing wrong, or what i can do to fix this it would be greately appreciated.

Is it a internet problem, do i have to upgrade my internet package??
