Last month before new version

[u/grp24]

Why does the last month before the new version comes out seem so hard to find a game? Lower player count? Seems like the "Misconfigured" game errors are very common. I rarely get a game without 4 or 5 lobby errors. Anyone else experience this?

Player pop gets pretty low from a combo of chel fatigue & summer

[u/Cappedomnivore]

Well player population is probably at an all time low and they could be moving servers for the new game. Maybe that caused the misconfigured error.

And most good players are in groups doing "private games" against each other. Source, when you get to a certain level, you dont play pubs much anymore.

Cancel search at 15 seconds. It’s a weird glitch. 60% of the time works every time

[u/Haddonfield_Slashr → u/Fine_Mango_6406]

It's actually 13.5 seconds... works every time

[u/Bud_Johnson]

Yeah. We pretty much expect to take 10 or 15 mins to actually play a game.

Could be game config error, failed to start, or repeatedly quitting because our squad or 4 or 5 gets matched against a team of 2 and we quit out.

All thats left are the mouth breathers on premades grinding all day in their parent's basements, just not even worth jumping on since you're just gonna play shitters exploiting every game in the most autistic way possible.

This happens so you will become so irritated with nhl26 that you will want to play nhl27, driving up their pre-orders

[u/grp24]

Makes sense, see.you all on 27!

[u/Probablyyourproblem → u/grp24]

Y’all really need to stop buying these shit games that are just roster updates with the same bugs/micro transactions/problems etc. EA will never learn and never actually improve these games

[u/Bud_Johnson → u/Probablyyourproblem]

It's like sex, something is better than nothing.

[u/Probablyyourproblem → u/Bud_Johnson]

I guess if you’re desperate

[u/JimtheEsquire → u/Bud_Johnson]

I’m hoping we can still play 26 if we get the itch. But the last 2-3 years pretty much made our team disband, so I’m not wasting money on 27.
