Kicked from Game for Poor Team Play
So I tried to play my first drop in game, took 2 tripping penalties and I was booted from the game for poor team play. Apparently my assist in the game meant nothing. I was looking forward to makin...

Community ManagerI played 3 6v6 WoC games last night. There wasn't one person kicked for poor team play so if this is happening frequently, your play is probably worthy of the F grade. We'll keep an eye out for more reports though and will make sure that feedback gets sent over to the team.
@EA_Aljo Thanks for the reply.
I'm not going to lie and say I was playing a great game, but the only bad things I did were the 2 trips. Assists should 1000% be factored into the algorithm controlling team play. It's actually kind of ridiculous that they're not. On top of that, the calculation should take into account the length of time a person is holding onto the puck as well.
I played a 6v6 drop-in game yesterday with someone on the attack who just held onto the puck and skated multiple circles in the offensive zone, never passed to anyone and then finally took a shot. In that instance, we were awarded pressure time and, I'll bet anything, he was rewarded with some kind of increase in teamplay for taking a shot after seriously 15-20 seconds of puck hogging.
In all of 23 I was not kicked from a single game. Not one.
I take 2 bad penalties in my very first game in 24 and I'm booted. That seems extremely weird to me. Especially considering I'm constantly playing with defensemen that think they're forwards, left wings and left d that spend all their time on the right side and goalies that think it's funny to leave the crease and let tons of goals in. I can't remember a single time they've been kicked from the game. In fact, I'm usually the one that ends up leaving because the experience has already been ruined way before any teamplay check is going to boot them (if it does).
Kicking someone for making mistakes that are normal hockey plays should not be happening.

I just found out that you're not supposed to get kicked in club play. So, that would also be why I didn't see it. That said, there were very few penalties and everyone was generally playing their positions as they should be. I know that's not always the case in drop-ins. Regardless, it looks like there is an issue here. It's been reported to the team.
I'll keep an eye out for more reports on this. I know these mechanics have never been quite perfect so it would be good to see them balanced over time.
Thank you! If I run into this again, I'll post here with some video. I promise I'm not a bad player, haha

All good. I'm not saying you're a bad player. Even the best of us have the occasional rough game 🙂
I was just kicked from a club game with me and one human teammate. I took 2 penalties. They scored and i got booted?? How are we getting booted while NOT playing in a drop in game?? Im playing 6x6 with my club not randoms.
You do get kicked out at clubs. We had this happen several times tonight. It is just stupid. We don’t want this to happen.
