CHEL
Few things about this update and also some ideas. I play mostly chel so this message is for chel players.
1. Player classes
Player classes should be now "opened" that you can have like smaller defending defenceman.
Thats great, BUT when you create smaller player (from 188cm to 183cm) speed (and other attributes too) is still same?
So im wondering what was the point of this??
Someone already wrote about this earlier that in chel (6v6, humans only) almost every player using same player class (PuckMovingDefenceman + same height/weight).
One big reason for this is ELITE SKATES (gold). I suggest that EA you should remove this elite skates (gold) from the game.
Or another option is that this elite skates (gold) should be added for other player classes too.
2. Penalties
Im so confused. There was lots of crosscheck and interference penalties before update and they should be now fixed. Well... there is still these kind of penalties.
Lots of accidental penalties at opponents net when you are trying to shoot the puck but you get penalty instead because of interference..
Before the update you basicly were allowed to hit and push players front of the net. There was no limits. That looked like a fighting sometimes. No penalties.
But now after update we will get penalties of almost every hit or push??
We had tournament game after update so this was really nice suprise all of us. We got lots of penalties.
So whats going on EA?
Now you made some changes to this again. Can you explain how this system is working?
What comes to defending. My opinion is that its not so easy to defend in chel (6v6 only humans).
Now you cant push players anymore. X (tie up) not working so well.. or it should be easier/faster to do. There is delay and thats why it doesnt usually work.
and if you want intercept pass you need to have almost perfect postitioning. Poke checks are so weird also sometimes. Lots of
stupid bounces. You hit the puck with stick but still opponent keeps skating with the puck.
There should be less puck bounching. This game looking like a floorball sometimes.
There is pretty mucb that kind of matches if we score like 5 goals. 4 of those are somekind of lucky goals where puck is bounching weird way to goal or then own goals with player animation.
3. TIP IN GOALS
There are lots of tip in goals too in this game. So if defenders are not allowed anymore push players front of the net so what should defender do?
Block shot? yes. If x (tie up) would work more easily then defending would be little bit easier.
EA probably asking videos, but its just too difficult to move videos to this forum.
And even if i upload some videos.. i really dont trust that EA will make some of these changes to game so thats why ill skip it.
