I have been getting recommended the North America West servers for the duration of NHL 18 and I am getting very high Pings due to this. I talked to EA support and they said that they filed a bug report, but for them to do something quicker, more people would need to say they are having the same/a similar issue. I found a post in the EA Support forums with the issue and the guy I talked to from Support said to comment on it to help it gain exposure. "The more people reporting it, the higher chances of the team adding it." https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical...st-in-NHL-17/m-p/6353391/highlight/false#M279
I was placed on west tonight too but the one game I played it didn't feel like west, game felt fine. so I guess it was just one of those things where it said west but wasn't really. game sucks 69! 83! 4-1!
Yeah that doesn't work for me. Something wrong with the game. But honestly i've gotten used to 60 ping at this point. Still would be nice for it to be fixed.
Something weird was going on with servers last night. This happened to me too. EA's probably cleaning up unused server space. It's been roughly a month since release date.
Pretty certain at this point it doesn't matter. I run pings in the 20s on both servers and it just picks and chooses how the game wants to run for me. EA YAYYY
