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...

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.
Yup that's fair; many of em are great, I just don't really like the celebrity ones speaking for me (and I can NOT wait to embarrass some of em noe that crossplay is a thing).
The way I see it, most streamers seem to be in it for themselves - the HUT pack openings for example give an extremely skewed view of pack odds and I personally find that harmful to younger players.
With their huge follower counts their personal views sort of become theirs and it creates an echo chamber in my opinion and that doesn't necessarily help the hardcore players.
Call me jaded, but higher scores bring more viewers and you get that by making the game overly arcadey with wayyy more buffs to offense than there are for D.
