Confusion About EA Play Release Date
This EA Help page states that the Game will be coming out this Monday (October 10) with EA Play. The XF and Standard Edition Dates are incorrect on that page, but they did use to say the correct date...

@TTZ_Dipsy Ok, so in other words the EA Play 10h trial is only for those who didn't get the X-Factor edition?
Also since the 10h trial was given a few days before the launch of the 3-day early access in previous years... no one was able to anticipate this change as it was not announced!
There are a lot of people who are wondering what is going on, I strongly suggest that someone in the NHL 23 dev team post something official on Twitter and everywhere else to inform everyone of this situation clearly.
P.S. You won't play 3 hours early. If I log on at midnight and you logon at 9PM we're going to be on at the same time. 😉 So there is no 3h access earlier for you!

It would appear that way, yes.
Yup I used to take advantage of the extra days too; I'll ping someone about making an official post here and Twitter
Lol well technically no but through the magic of timezones the illusion is still there
- @TTZ_Dipsy One of the most common complain I hear everywhere (youtube, twitch, etc) is the lack of communication between the NHL 23 dev team/management and the players.
Even if there is some clear improvements lately, the twitch/YT stars like NoSleeves, Henreek or Nasher are often complaining about information missing and the difficulty to get clear answers on a variety of topics.
Having you addressing our concerns and escalating issues to people who can actually inform us on twitter or on the forum is a major win for the community.
In other words, thank you. We need to keep the communication channels open.I've brought up the lack of communication internally as well but EA, especially the sports division, is under a larger amount of red tape than other departments/companies and it makes it hard for even CM's to get fast and accurate data.
Trust me when I say Aljo and Blueberry try/tried to give as much info as possible. Speaking of, for those not in the know, Blueberry has taken on a familiar yet different role and there will be a new community lead in EA Kent (but try not to ping if you can help it).
There is a growing number of players, myself included, who are fairly opposed to these streamer/youtubers since their main concern seems to be HUT -I don't envy those in charge of balancing general needs and catering to what pays the bills.
While i agree with most of what you say i don't see why the hate vs streamers. HUT content if something ppl like to watch. Whatever makes the core of the game better can only benefit HUT so i don't see why you would say that. 90% of streamers are annoyed by the same crap as we all are. At least they have a bigger platform and some of the bigger ones are trying to make a difference. While you have all the right to be annoyed by streamers i am pretty sure they have done more good than harm to NHL over the least few years.
