NHL 24
Please get rid of the stupid X Factors on Chel or make the goalies actually be good. Don’t matter if it’s a human or computer goalie. Close quarters, one tee, heat seeker, make it snappy are just fla...

@DBig15201 I like that they tried to use xfactors to differentiate the abilities of some players but especially in WoC there is just NO balance. Some Xfactors are simply broken and some are near worthless. Personally I much prefer the 2K badge system but I know EA wants to use their own ideas so.. they really just need to balance the xfactors.
I would also suggest using the attribute points to differentiate the abilities of players. We have 0-99 points per stat. How many guys in the game have a 0 in a stat? Does anyone? Why shouldn't every stat have 1 guy that hits that 0 threshold? 0 should be the worst player in the game in that stat and 99 should be the best player ever in that stat.

Yeah the X-Factors should probably be done away with. Going back to the progressive/custom attribute system is the best way to go. Yeah there's always gonna be "Metas" no matter what system you use. Also, some skater archtypes are just...too nerfed to be useful. The TWF for example is borderline useless now. Needs slightly more offensive ability, as does the power forward.
I personally like the idea of being allowed to have literal 0/1 in a stat - Why have anything in the fight category when I play 3v3? Why would my buddy have anything dumped into faceoffs when he will literally never take a faceoff?
We should always have the ability to reach a 99 in any stat we choose at the detrement to everything else - that's just how min/maxing works. These build types they have now just leave so much to be desired - as others have mentioned, there are clear winners and painfully clear losers/ "challenge" builds, especially for teams with few humans.
- @TTZ_Dipsy If we could move attributes around it would be crazy. I'd have like 1 slapshot power, 1 slapshot accuracy 1 shot blocking, 1 fighting.
99 speed, 99 balance, 99 accel, high agility, 99 checking.When everyone is super, no one is. We already have metas so let's go wild.
Seriously though, you can either set an overall cap or do it on a category by category basis - What I meant by 99's before was that, to my knowledge there is currently no way to hit 99 in any stat, let alone multiples (I think I can hit 98 awareness by min maxing).
In a proposed new formula you should be able to naturally attain a 99 or maybe two (maybe only attainable via x factors), but it will have a severe impact on other stats (moreso than the current setup). Make it more like '14 with some improvements rather than side steps.
I just want something different. I know I sound like a broken record at this point but I play with just 1 other friend and we're both super handicapped with current jack of all trades builds.
