TLDW:
- **BIG** patch coming, won't fix everything.
- Lax goals, AI Pens nerfed
- CHEL wait times shortened, customization set to a single menu, looking to streamline it further
- " Things not addressed in 24 may be addressed [next year]"
- No plans customizing controls, adjusting goalies, pressure system

I've repeated that quote for myself too. That PP and PK is a gamechanger.
But at the same time, it has never been important to clear the zone, ice the puck when you at PK. Other words, to play special teams authentic to the real world.
PP is also something that never been a close clone on how it looks like IRL.
But just to set up properly has never been that easy, by different reasons.
Yeh. Hold pass + shooting = curves the shot. Dunkin made video on it so that everyone could do it! 👍... 👎👎👎👎
He mentioned fixes for the goal line and baiting goalie poke goals, too. Awesome to hear.
It still will drain players of energy better. Leagues will still ban it though because they hate defense being played.

Yes recap.
For the little I heard, earlier stuff with Inglehart, I have been positive.
@Sega82mega Real questions like the future of the game and not just this patch, the full pressure system being ridiculously OP, the puck dumps, the bugs, the poor defense (they briefly discussed the interceptions but even that answer was terrible and generic), the puck pickups, the one-sidedness between offense vs defense, the fatman lag, etc.
Major props to Mike for explaining some of the changes and what EA is aware of to address in the future.

no mention of pressure system changes for the next patch in terms of mechanism or option to turn off pressure meter. Just discussion on what possibly be tuned for later down the line. At least that wss my interpretation.
no mention of improving dump in strength. With the R2 used to dump its much stronger than R1, but it would be nice to get a little extra height and less loading up time.
95 percent of the fixes are for online play from the sounds of it. Michigan move abuse, glitch goal reduction, etc.
For me offline play as of today is already good and much bette than at release, so I personally see little to no benefit for the upcoming patch for offline players. I am mostly afraid of the penalties ....it will hurt offline gameplay if they reduce it too much like how they have done in previous years' patches.
One or two power plays each game when you play 5-minute periods is realistic. That's nowhere near bad, at all.
I play 20-minute periods. I'm averaging about 7 interference penalties each game. That's completely unrealistic.
I don't mind getting 2-3 power plays in a game. That's fine. Just don't make it where it's a parade to the penalty box like it is now.

You play 20 minutes periods 😳 You are a rare breed around these parts… Kudos !
I've made countless tweaks to the players and settings to get 15 to 20 minutes periods gameplay on 23.
Do you have realistic stats ? Tell me more. I didn’t get 24 after the trial… I’m curious 🤔
Thanks !
Is he talking something about offline modes, franchise mode ? customization things like to add new equipment for goalies and players ? to edit EA rosters appearance and data ? update for headshot pics ? new player likenesses ? and so on.
