There should these xfactors or abilities Agitator - I player who'll agitate the opposition causing them to be rattled and may lead them taking more penalties (player will sometimes go to far and get into a fight or penalty hinself)Actor - A player who will dive on tripping calls or act on other calls in an attempt to get your team on the powerplay (Player may get caught and get an embellishment penalty)Negotiator - A player who will negotiate with the ref to overturn penalties (this player may also negotiate a high salary contract as well)Golden Glove - A player who will protect your main stars, if that player is not on the ice when a big hit was made he will seek out that player who hit your star his next shift (sometimes the other player won't want to fight and your player will get a 2 minutes unsportsmanlike conduct) Team player - Unlike tape to tape this player will solely be about passing the puck. (Not made for a scoring minded player, also will take a team friendly contract)Selfish - Opposite to Team player, this play will shoot way more then attempt the pass (this play will be a puck hog and may costs some plays)So far that's all I can think of.

My idea is to eliminate all the x factor crap because its helped make this game a total mess that looks and feels nothing like hockey.

I’m fully assuming this is trolling 100% lol. If so, I wouldn’t put it past EA to actually think people would want this in the game. Don’t give them any ideas

@DeMiGoD1988 Respectfully, these are awful

Hot Sauce - Puts more air and accuracy on MANUAL saucer passes for less ability to be picked off (gold version only for Playmaker and Puck Moving Dman) Tied Up - Increase tie-up ability in front of the net (gold version TWF and TWD)Goalie:Hugs- In close shots result in faster limb movement. (gold version Butterfly) (counter to Close Quarters)Silver versions for all them

@DeMiGoD1988 The thing is the ones you have come up with here just add more RNG and scripting to a game that already suffers from too much RNG and things out of control of player input.Agitator - Truculence already exists, which saps half your energy when hit, reducing your players attributes from being sapped of energy as it is. You pair this with truculence and it would be bustedActor - in order for this to even have an effect, it would mean that things that normally wouldn’t be penalties would have to be called. Nobody wants to not even hit the stick lift button, or not even poke check and have a player dive forcing you into the box.Negotiator - Again, this would mean that a team that takes a penalty, will get it overturned further rewarding bad play.Golden Glove - Like I said before, truculence exists, the game is already an arcade Hits game as it is. Team Player and Selfish : These are both Xfactors that are only made for AI players? Take a team friendly deal, or make the greedy or a pass first type of player? Shot Bias sliders already exist for you to edit in the game, or when creating a player for offline modes so these aren’t needed. You can set a players shot bias in their stat editing page.

If anything, zone abilities and superstar abilities need to be restricted based on the play build you use. Like truclulence should not be a superstar ability that can be put on any class, restrict it to the enforcer builds. Big rig should be available on the power forward maybe Grinder as well..? Take them off of the superstar ability (not every class need every availableability). Again something along thise lines, just an idea.

@TITAN_NHL Agitator wouldn't be a hitting thing. Marchand being a d**k (licking people) or go back further with avery dancing in front of broduer. Its to get under your skin.

Personally I think x factora and abilities suit Franchise and BAP more then online

Most of these tendencies work on paper but I'm afraid they would be problematic to implement in-game.

Things like embellishment and overturning penalties would only lead to complaints of the game purposely screwing/tilting you over in certain situations (another example being people wanting coaches reviews).

Other things like players "taking numbers" is way too much for the devs to handle lol. That said, I really would like to add "selfish/ team player" traits to my CPUs though.

@TTZ_Dipsy I mean they had that feature before with contracts. If you remember you could hire a lawyer and the more stars it had the cheaper the contract was, there was another additive to it as well the more that player wanted to be on your team the more of a friendly contract he'll take and on the other side of things if a player has low interest he either won't even take an offer from you or the contract will have to be expensive.

I feel like some players I see already have Selfish as their Zone ability somehow.

To sum it up I guess, none of these would really work in CHEL - they are AI behaviours not actual ability boosts.

To be fair I wasn't thinking of CHEL or online. Was thinking more of Franchise/BAP
Maybe they should have 2 different variants Online X-Factors/abilities and offline (franchise/BAP) X-Factors/abilities
