Overtime clock suggestion
Been thinking about this for a while and would like to put a suggestion forward: I would like to have an option for the overtime period length to be real-time, rather than prorated to the regulation period length. Basically overtime kind of sucks because I want the 3 on 3 hockey, but it feels like it goes by wayyyy too quickly and then I have to deal with a shootout which kind of kills the vibe. To build on this, I think it would be awesome to be able to make your own overtime rules. Something like: Overtime Skaters: 3<->4<->5 Overtime Period length: same options as regulation period length Overtime Period Amount: 1 (like the regular season, after the period ends, moves on to a shootout or ends the game in a tie)<->Unlimited (like playoff overtime rules) Shootout: ON<->OFF Gameclock style: Real-Time (clock starts at selected period length and counts down in real time) <-> Accelerated (current gameclock behaviour) Would also be cool to have a non-sudden death overtime option, like how it works in basketball or baseball, where the full period is played out regardless of if there's a goal scored or not. I understand that thies changes probably wouldn't be very high priority, but would really enhance the overtime experience, for me at least.
Objective vs Game play.
I have inquired a few times in past texts as to why there is no definitive meaning to the word HIT in this game. Hit vs body check. What is the difference? Is not a body check considered a hit. In game stats you have hits. You get an objective calling for body checks. After the game. The objective shows 7. The game stat shows 0. A check is the impediment of an opposing players motion by body contact. A hit. Is considered in that same description. The severity may differ, but the outcome is the same. Body contact.
This worst hut ever.
And now im telling you why. Overall and ability boost are joke. Why if you played theme team (senators, pinguins, kings etc) very hard to get those boosts? Why you can combo those ovr boosts? Very fun play when i have other life too when my best players ovr 86 and my opponent 92 when he use broken +6 overall boost. Salary boosts out of the game as quickly as possible. Who enjoy when you team cap 80 million and opponent 120? Master set players too easy do. I'm free to play player and i can do every promo 2-3 msp cards. I think my older nhl games hut teams and i have max 1 master set player per promo if that too. And lastly fix the menus and gameplay. Menu slowest years and gameplay awful. Pokecheck too weak, goalies worst ever, how they save A+ chance close to goal but dont save bug goal or blue line slapshot? And why this game removed penalties? If you don't hit from behind or pokecheck puck from behind, you'll almost never see powerplays or powerkills this game. And lastly this things say veteran hut player whose first NHL game was nhl15, so i know really good how play this game and how hut works. Please do something positive hut developing group.my son deleted my hut team
my son deleted my team by accident and i was i tild by ea theres no way to get it back that once its deleted everyything resets as a fresh start so i started a new team today yet my xp path is where i left off at level 61 and my objectices completed are still the same . i cant even earn rewards anymore as i completed everything i asked to just get my 18 players and 2 goalies i had before it got deleted. and no luck whatsoever very frustrating as i spend money on this game each year and been playing for a long time as its the only game i really playDesperation shots…
I understand why desperation shots were all over the start of 25 because they wanted to showcase the new mechanic, but why is the computer jumping to try and shoot every cross crease one timer off the rush in this game. It is infuriating, idk why someone would decide to crank that back upManipulative
Every year I watch as players vie to acquire well known named players. The McDavids, Mathews, Makars, Mckinnons. Just to name a few. This game has players believing that the picture on the card is a replication as to how that player plays in real life. The AI cannot distinguish what face is on the card. It is formatted to algorithms that are preset. What players should be trying to acquire, are player cards with the 3 attributes that can be somewhat verified. Speed, Acceleration and Endurance. All other attributes have no way of verifying if they are accurate. The game throws up numbers as to shot power and several other skills. But those numbers are anything but accurate. I had my Hudson card in one game register a slap shot st 124.4mph. What player on this planet has ever had a slapshot at that speed. Dont get caught in the manipulation, that big name cards are better than others.

Reverse hit off the Faceoff
So I played in a league yesterday LMSHL and the leading scorer center for this league (had 0 points in my game they still won though lol) kept reverse hitting me off the face off (still beat him on the face offs too) about 7 times. he still lost the face-offs, but the hits were disruptive to my ability to play defense as a Center which led to 2 instances of me not being able to recover off the hit energy low which led to 2 goals. The only way i could counter it was becoming predictable with the tie up which he then stick lifted and when i did anything else reverse hit. This should either be removed or coded for an interference penalty he had warrior on red and unstoppable on red with big rig as well I believe. EA_Aljo
EA Connect
Why is my friends in “Ea connect” showing was online likie, for example 2days ago, but clearly it isnt true i just played with them like 10minutes or 2h ago. Why there is false information on this ? And can you make friends activity more visible, for example when i have online friends. So i could see what exactly are they doing. Are they in lobby/matchmaking or in the game(actually playing)Deletion.
Just curious. As to what warrants texts or replies to articles in this forum. If the composition of the response or text itself, is in the outlined guidelines. Why are some or any for that matter. Deleted. I was under the impression that this particular venue was open to the Community, to openly express their misgivings or appreciations regarding the game. And any response regardless how trivial or duplicated. Should not be removed. So why are some articles removed?
