EASHL Club Finals

Hey, EA,

why we are forced to play Club Finals? There is always low population during that time, clubs took the time off, and most of the players don't want to play this stupid finals. Please, allow us do NOT participate, something like: "You have been qualified for the Elite cup. Do you want to participate?" Yes / No. If NO is confirmed, we can continue to play standard/normal club games.

Please, always give us an option for everything in the game. Do not force us to do something we don't want to do.

Greetings

    Hey there, @Ampereturn 

    Thanks for the feedback on this. While I'm in agreement with you, it's very possible you'd have a harder time finding matches that way since it means a heavy portion of the population is going to be looking for playoff games. The pool of available teams would be smaller if you were only looking for non-playoff games.

    With only one team able to earn a winner's banner and you needing to go through placement again for some reason, the playoffs don't matter much now so I wouldn't worry about it mate

    @Ampereturn I think having 10 divisions is just too much with a small population. The format just needs to change. When my friends and I were playing we would just stop playing until Finals were finished due to the struggle to find games.

    There are 10 dividions but they're split into technically 4 groups but really 3 and the search area still widens every second matchmaking occurs.

    Last year they just opened it up to be a free-for-all all-you-can-eat-buffet for elites due to low playerbase and I don't think anything was changed for '23.

    We just need to go back to the old win 4 games with 1 redo formula but make all matchmaking open, regardless of playoff status

    Problem with the way finals are layed out is if you loose 15 games you are basically out and are playing useless games

    Time needs to be shortened and get rid of the outdoor rinks.  9 days is way too long and there's zero playoff "hype" on those rinks.
