Waste of money plain and simple. For years there have been improvements that could be made to make this game more realistic (ability to change lines during a timeout/intermission/on the fly but NOPE just during your 1 timeout a game….) but don’t worry… there are on-ice projections this year WOAAAAAH!!! Only thing is it makes this game so slow you’ll want to snap it in half.
I have 500mbps download on Ethernet and 175-225 over WiFi. Switching between that didn’t help. So I opened a direct port through the router to change the NAT type to open and type 1. I bet you’d think that would help. Nope. Online games dropping still not fixed either.. but I just assume that’s EA not caring as per usual.
Horrendous game. Have been buying this game since 2004. This will be the last year.
