NHL 24 - January 25th Tuner Update Notes

Often times its easier to complain so want to make sure the positive feedback is heard by EA_Aljo and the developers.  After playing with it for several games, I (and my EASHL teammates) really like the change made to the Pressure System.  Previously it felt like a very arcade-y gimmick, that was so heavily weighted in the gameplay experience it often overshadowed actual hockey strategy.  I realize its basically been gutted, but the removal of the global nerf as well as the reducing of how quickly the meter fills has done a lot to make it feel more like a subtle enhancement of gameplay.  Teams no longer are severely punished for playing good positional defense and keeping an attacking team to the outside.  Its a legit strategy used everywhere in hockey, so I am glad it can be used again.  And I think its fairly balanced that if you sit back on this for too long, the attacking team will eventually get Full Pressure as a reward for keeping the puck in.  The choice to also remove the global nerf so that each player can make a choice on how to use their energy puts more agency into the players' hands, so its an improvement.  So all in all, thank you for listening to the community and nice work on the updates.
