Re: Flickering screen issue

Hi there, @TasteofChicago91 

Can you get me some video of this? I'll pass it on. Also, have you tried using a different HDMI cable? Thanks!

    @EA_Aljo It’s not my cable. All my club members have the issue randomly and I think it’s only happening in Dropin when we warm up before club. You’ll be playing and all a sudden a small section of the screen will flicker at center ice. Sometimes it’s a blob by the goalie too. Sometimes it’s green or orange. Almost everyone I’ve played with in drop in will have this once every 3-5 games. I’ll try to get some video tonight. I figured out how to record gameplay on my ps5

    Same here. It doesn’t happen all the time but it does happen. I’ve had just the top half of my screen flicker blue during eliminator games. Very annoying.

    @EA_Aljo It stopped happening the last couple nights but on occasion the issue pops up. I’ll let you know if it happens again though. Some people may still be having the issues though once servers are back up
  • The black screen flashing right now is terrible.  It’s not on any game but this one.

    I also noticed this a couple of times during drop-ins on the series X, it would usually flicker at center ice when skating on the bottom (own offensive zone)

    So any update on when this will be fixed along with the other numerous issues in the game? Do the developers want to make the game better or is it EA corporate not letting them fix things?

    Same problem, seeing this problem showed half a year ago I can see that nobody is trying to fix this..

    I’m still getting this error. Currently getting it in EASHL 3s drop in. How has this not been fixed yet?! Its so distracting to play as your screen is flickering / glitching. 

    It does it in game and in lobby. 

    It even shows up on videos shared directly from ps5

    ps5 - digital

    lg c2 

    please fix

    @Amber1991 

    Would it be possible to try a different HDMI cable? I really want to rule that out. We get very few complaints about this so it's possible that's what it's related to. If you do this, make sure it's a premium cable. Thanks!

    Its not my hdmi cable. It happened on my ps4 as well. I’m using the hdmi cable that came with the ps5 which is a different one from when I had my ps4. 

    This is the only game I have issue with the display. And the glitch shows up when the gameplay video is saved. So if it was an hdmi issue that would be just visual on my end not show up in the saved in the gameplay video - but it does. Meaning its an in game issue. 

  • @EA_Aljo It's the same for me and all the players on my team. Flickering happens either on the street or on the ice during the championships. And you receive few complaints, since it is practically pointless for you to complain, you do not fix anything
  • How is this seriously not fixed?? You get multiple complaints about a FLICKERING SCREEN and you just to blame the hdmi cable before just going silent? You guys are trying to purposely bury this game, right?

    It's because they released an unfinished game, with plenty of bugs from last year as well as new issues. There are waaay to many existing bugs for this to be considered a "complete game" but they still want to sell it to us twice for retail even though there is no difference besides maybe visually... It's very disappointing and frustrating that they do the bare minimum to this series every year

    and again they launch a playoff on these .. Well, at least a little respect. You know about the problem, right?
  • Yep...It happens in my 6v6 World of Chel games and I just downloaded NHL 24.  Obviously no one cares.
