as always, Northern Stars will stream. Should you choose to watch. Takes about a minute to learn how a team plays anyway viktorghamari @ twitch

At this moment i dont feel like playing this game at all so i voted yes. If the ECL starts before fix i think im not going to play in it. This is really horrible as i am home team captain 98% of games and when we once in a night get away game, opponent leaves in player selection room. I have horrible connection in every game but i just play throught it so atleast my team members get to play. Im useless on the ice so i just choose to park my ass in front of the opponent goalie and wish for best. ps. Those 2% are away games, im always captain when we are in home. Well there was one strange night when i was never captain, and it was kind of fun.

I'm also getting bad delays and I'm like 9 out of 10 times as home team captain in our team. I have 100/10 connection and don't know what others get when they try to ping or traceroute 159.153.95.65, but Im getting 102-110ms max and still laggggggg.. Starting to get a bit frustrated.. can't play normally and I have started to get lag as away captain. Anyway IP blocks..URL blocks.. these "fixes" doesn't work. Well at least not for me. The best option for me is to play with WiFi, then I only get to be the captain only 6 out of 10 times and...Cmon guys, you all should know EA Sports by now, they don't care and they won't fix this before christmas. I have a feeling this will take up to late spring...Wouldn't be surprised at all. I voted yes, but now I change my vote to Drop in. We should at least try this. -Commuwarrior

I think im gonna stream our games to youtube or twitch. I guess teams know already how each teams play, so it doesnt matter to me.

I dont know really, for me i rather have ECL to play, and have this first tournament as a "testround" , for the admins and for the teams. And as Alpa said, no one knows if they have the time or tools for a fix for it. And the lag is better anyhow. And if one team suffers from captain lag and the other dont, let the team with no lag play two games at home and count as one away?.

At this point it doesn't seem like EA is close to finding a solution to the problem so I don't think postponing ECL for this very reason is a good idea. Though, I'm in no rush to start the tournament so waiting an extra week or two with the trade off of getting a better experience on this site is okay to me. I'm honestly indifferent to whichever decision we agree on. If the lag issue persists I would like to take this approach (Basically the same as gzell60 suggested). Games are played in drop in because you can choose your captain there. The first two minutes are a free for all where you try your connection. If neither of the teams quit you dump the puck over the glass in the neutral zone so the faceoff will take place at central ice again. This way we will avoid all the unnecessary drama/bullshit that may arise if one team scores in the first minute because the other team was lagging too much.

This game is so broken. Fuck ea sport fuck rammer. I think we gona backup on this ECL. Next patch or update is gona be on chirstmas sells on next month
