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 making up for my mistakes but instead the game decided I wasn't able to play anymore.Is this how it's going to be this year?

Also, if your team gets scored on while you're in the box, you'll take a bigger hit. If your teamplay grade drops to an F, you'll be kicked.How can assists not count toward team play? That is literally team play lolI don't think losing face-offs should count either, sometimes someone is just better than you, doesn't mean you're trolling. That's what this whole 'kick for poor team play' was made to combat, trolls. They've taken it a bit too far and maybe lost the original vision.

@EA_Aljo wrote:@chapAnjou All good. I'm not saying you're a bad player. Even the best of us have the occasional rough game 🙂An occasional rough game should not result in being kicked.The kicked for poor team play was designed to boot trolls who want to ruin other players experience.Sure it can be tough to get it perfect, but a couple penalties and a few face-off losses shouldn't result in getting booted.

@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 have been playing this game with my buddy since forever and our in Second GAME on 10/5/2023 (second game in CHEL) my buddy was booted for poor performance after scoring 2 goals and having an assist - EXPLAIN THAT? and we receive a loss since there are only 2 of us Never have been booted ever in the past since they introduced this never even knew it existed SOUNDS LIKE A BUG TO ME

Face-offs should not factor into the scoring for team play. Sometimes the other center is just better than you, or has the better ping.If this was real life, no center would have been able to finish the game if Bergeron was on the other team.And assists/points not counting towards team play is criminal. Those traits should be swapped.

Trolls in drop-ins is something we get a high amount of complaints about so I really don't mind strict rules there, but it shouldn't be happening in club games. It's being looked in to. Thanks!
Definitely shouldn't happen in Club games I agree.. I wonder if it has something to do with Clubs being part of drop-in matchmaking now?
Do Clubs have an option to turn on/off free agent/drop-in matchmaking and have club only matchmaking?

I've heard that it can also happen with that turned off. The team is investigating it so hopefully, we'll have this addressed soon.

makes sense, assists are offense but I agree the severity of it is too much

As I said previously, this is being investigated. However, keep in mind that points do not contribute to your teamplay rating. You can find more on that here.

thank you one thing that we believe was the biggest factor if points do not count as teamplay was faceoffs - he missed a few faceoffs but the controller settings were wrong so maybe it is a little too sensitive but getting a loss when you are up 3-0 in a game is not right regardless of how you play on your own team

Now that I think about it, we had drop-ins enabled for our second game by default but nobody joined. If this feature is enabled when you have drop-ins I can see why it's being used . What it did was kick he only other player out of the game that was in there forcing a loss even though the team was winning. So maybe it's not a bug and I've never seen it before because I've never had drop-ins enabled for our club which is private.
