    We all know the club connection is god awful so what's stopping us from doing it in lobbies? Lobby isn't great but playing today in lobbies it didn't happen as often. Either that or alter the rule to finish out the period or something

    From all accounts lobbies are no better. Everyone seems to have random opinions on when it does/doesn't work, whether club/lobbies are better, etc. It seems these opinions practically change on a day to day basis as well. Which leads me (and others) to believe it's pretty much random and there's no real solution to be had.

    Also out of curiosity, what would your reasoning be to finish out the period? That makes the problem 50 times worse. Nobody wants to play entire stretches with 4+ AI on the ice. It was bad enough last night playing a game where 4 of our guys drop at once, 1 guy on the opposing team drops at the same time (all of these drops right before/at the drop of the puck). The opposing team's 1 AI proceeds to score on our 4 AI and due to a technicality in the rule the other team literally takes what amounts to a free goal.

    We should be limiting the AI's impact as much as possible, which would mean maintaining restarts at every lagout.

    Either way it doesn't really matter, this PS will be a shitshow with these servers. If they stay this bad I can't wait until we hit 30GP so I can just not play again until playoffs.

    just gunna be a mess when we run into a game where there's 7 layouts , but from my experience lobbies are better. If the community is split then yeah keep it how it is then.

    Is there's reason why we're just running through teams? I know servers are an issue but it should still be a level playing field... Just curious since we're all "Pro's" here but I still haven't seen any competition.
