Community ManagerAre you guys sure the AI penalties have been reduced? I don't think I've seen bots on my team take so many penalties and I never play with AI, as little as I can at least.
Just after the RW left midway in the game the AI took over and less than 5 min in, prompt to take a tripping penalty....okay thats one. Later on in a different game, center leave by the end of the first period, second period start and only a few minutes in, th AI center take not one but TWO penalties on the SAME play, both tripping, 4min penalty...and one more in third period. It's literally the only time I played with bots yesterday and they took for 8 min of penalties in about 3-4 periods of play. Are they purposely so much worse when they replace someone that quit in the middle of a game? In other hand, we played a few teams that were playing with AI right from the start of the game and I don't remember any of them taking a single penalty. Obviously I took this with a laugh, really...but I dont think I've ever seen the AI take a double penalty before in any previous games.
For the matchmaking in drop-ins, it is great that when 5 skaters join the lobby it only search for 5 extra sec a goalie then switch immediately for searching for opponents, thats perfect but....if the searching for opponents hits the 3 min mark, it cancel the search and you need to launch it again. The problem is that the 5sec goalie search rule doesnt apply anymore even if you still have 5 skaters, it will start searching for teammates for 1:30min or until a goalie join before switching back to search for opponents. Can this be changed to fit the same critera from the main search rules? If after 5-10sec it doesnt find a goalie, switch to look for opponents right away. It's such a waste of time.
The store, will there be change in a near future about it? everyone buy different stuff but the same items are in sell for everyone everyday, it's not adapting to what each individual is buying which mean that slowly but surely we get lots of items that show ''already bought'' and a bunch of ''double'' instead of generating items we havent bought yet. It will come a time, after a few months, that we will have to look everyday in hope to find that one item in the rotation that we didnt get yet. The store should not offer items we already bought and only generate new items individually for each person.
Anyone feels that the changes for reverse hit have made a difference?
For me, it doesn't seems to be working. Was in the animation of deke and it reverse hit when I wanted to shoot. I guess doing a left-right deke is like returning to the neutral position and a sensible click on the R3 made the reverse hit...

Look like the change work fine, mostly. I know I did it 2-3 times yesterday while charging a pass along the board, pretty sure my arms were fully stretched to my left or right...and I'm still seeing it from other players too.
The chances it happens are surely reduced but being in a gliding/neutral position is not rare...for as long as it's linked to R3, it will continue to happens no matter how you tweak it. It's just not the right button for it.
Lee took 3 penalties (passive, aggressive, and normal pressure and against both bumans and other cpu), in one game and then Gill took 2 tripping penalties in the first 10 minutes of the first period in the game right after.
Game is starting to be unplayable
