Toxic community?
I believe a community is only as toxic as the environment the developers create. Currently NOTHING is done for any toxic in game behaviors. EA also just says there is nothing they can do.. we have p...

@KidShowtime1867 your argument that just because YOU or I can't conceive of a possible solution to puck-ragging means that there's no way the dev-team can is a weak one, honestly. They get paid to problem solve. That's literally what game development is. Surely, there is a way.

I have mentioned and given hints about this in one of my thread, but you guys don’t think that if the game played like REAL hockey ONILNE like the way I’ve setup my game OFFLINE, that would fix most of these problems ???
First and foremost, the puck is ALIVE, so that would negate people abusing the zone entries and ballerina stuff… They would LOSE the puck in a heartbeat… like in real hockey…
The player fatigue is set at 99 also, so when a player is on the ice for more than 50 seconds, he starts to skate like he was in quicksand and very easy to strip the puck from. That would negate people dancing and dipsy doodling behind their net pretty quickly…. NO ?
So many things wrong with the way that game has been played ONLINE for years, that people started to accept this as a hockey game, because it has all the licensing of the real NHL… Sorry to burst your bubble, but the way you guys have been playing and that all the “popular” streamers are trying to sell you all these years, is not HOCKEY…. I call it “Sky cam air pinball hockey thingy"
Do people really enjoy playing like this ? Or is it just the way they have been accustomed to and compete in that environment just for the sake of competing ?
Time to bring a real setting ONLINE that resembles that beautiful game that is Hockey…
A quick vid of how the game should be played ONLINE and OFFLINE… Why not ???
*** I removed the video, cause it was not representative of the new and improved gameplay I’m working on… No worries you can find others later in this thread 😉
@PernellKarl027Too much puck bobbling on the simplest of passes. Zero difference in speed of the players. Barely at hitting. Barely any penalties because the gameplay is so slow. Time on Attack is super low which speaks volumes about the sloppiness of puck controlling the simplest of things. Maybe from an offline POV it looks good but from an Online POV it looks boring and sloppy to me, but to each their own.

Thanks, you just proved my point. Real hockey is exactly what you have described here, lol ! Like you said to each their own, cause your Online POV like you said is not the real thing…
First of, there is a big difference in the speed of players, you just have to play the game to notice it. If you take a closer look, you'll see that the easy passes connects pretty easy and the hardest ones, where the player on the receiving end is in a bad spot or doesn’t have much time to react, he bobbles it a bit..
Take a look at any hockey game and you’ll see that the players, most of the time, they always fight with the puck… Time on attack having control of the puck, is supposed to be on the low side too… Hockey IS a sloppy sport most of the time. There are no magnets in real hockey. The puck is supposed to be alive…
All my slider sets averages Stats that are on PAR with the REAL NHL, the SOG, the hitting, penalties and the average scores…I don’t know why you say there's barely any hitting ? Oh, you mean players laying on the ice every 10 seconds ? Another thing you rarely see in the NHL…
But like you said, to each their own…
I'd love to see more of these sim games like 4 more to make it a total of 5 to compare the endgame stats. Vegas averaged 2.7 penalties per game which was the lowest in the league so we should be seeing around 5-6 penalties per game. Then we have offensive zone time which this is pretty old but with teams averaging the amount of penalties per game that TOA should be much higher.
I'm wanting to see if you can get it even more sim in statistics.
