Hey Everyone, Today at 1 PM ET we’re releasing a new Roster Update and Gameplay Tuner. The Roster Update is transaction-based to reflect changes made across the various leagues. Below you can find the gameplay changes coming to NHL 24. December Gameplay Tuner Updates: Community Feedback: CPU Teammates are taking too many penalties which can be frustrating as it feels out of the user’s control. Reduced the chance of CPU Teammate Penalties by adjusting the default setting of the CPU Teammate Penalty slider setting from 15 to 5. Community Feedback: Charging penalties are being called too often, especially on Shoulder Checks where the hitter is veering into the check. Increased the amount of frames a Skater must be traveling in a straight line for a Shoulder Check to be considered for a Charging Penalty. Community Feedback: Defenders who are facing the puck are not attempting to intercept a hard pass, especially when the pass is made tight to their body. This is allowing offensive players to force charge passes through well positioned defenders for close cross crease goals. Greatly increased the base pass intercept reaction time for skaters, increasing their ability to attempt pass intercepts quicker especially when facing the puck. Community Feedback: Holding RB/R1 and RS to Flip Dump takes too long to charge and makes using this action too ineffective, especially when under pressure or when trying to use this on the forecheck to get a puck deep. Increased the speed to fully charge up a Flip Dump by 20%. Community Feedback: While carrying the puck, Skaters with a higher speed attribute can be caught by a skater with a lower speed attribute. The Puck-Carrier speed penalty reduces the differentiation between skaters and can lead to small confusion with new players who aren’t familiar with this system. Increased Puck-Carrier skating speed by 2%. Increased Back Skating speed by 2% to keep speed balanced with Puck Carrier speed. Increased the Wheels X-Factor Zone Ability bonus by 30% to allow Skaters with this Zone Ability to skate at maximum speed. Increased the In Reverse X-Factor Zone Ability bonus to allow Skaters with this X-Factor to pivot faster. Additional Fixes: Fixed an issue which caused a Pass while your team is offside to have a high chance of being bobbled

@EA_AljoNext Update they really should just make it a toggle On/Off for the reverse hitting. It would seem like the most simple of ways to go about it.

CPU teammate penalties should be turned off completely. I should only have to kill a penalty when I make a mistake. Goaltending needs to be returned to its launch-day state. This was the first game in years with good goaltending, and the first big update ruined it. It is so much easier to get basic slot shots off in this game than in real life, so they should be made far less effective than slot shots in real life. Updating the game to have them go in more often has added to the randomness of the game. More randomness means it is less likely that the more deserving player will win the game. Randomness is the great equalizer. There is NO worse feeling than losing a game you deserve to win, because your opponent got lucky. NOTHING else comes close. Also, it's silly that there is a timer on full pressure. If the puck doesn't leave the zone, the pressure shouldn't be reset. It makes no sense. Buuut the amount of time the puck needs to be out of the D zone to relieve the pressure should be lessened.

Hey Everyone,

Today at 1 PM ET we’re releasing a new Roster Update and Gameplay Tuner. The Roster Update is transaction-based to reflect changes made across the various leagues.

Below you can find the gameplay changes coming to NHL 24.

December Gameplay Tuner Updates:

Community Feedback: CPU Teammates are taking too many penalties which can be frustrating as it feels out of the user’s control.

Reduced the chance of CPU Teammate Penalties by adjusting the default setting of the CPU Teammate Penalty slider setting from 15 to 5.

Community Feedback: Charging penalties are being called too often, especially on Shoulder Checks where the hitter is veering into the check.

Increased the amount of frames a Skater must be traveling in a straight line for a Shoulder Check to be considered for a Charging Penalty.

Community Feedback: Defenders who are facing the puck are not attempting to intercept a hard pass, especially when the pass is made tight to their body. This is allowing offensive players to force charge passes through well positioned defenders for close cross crease goals.

@Stubo_NHL24 Try to focus on it when you know that's what people do... This is something you can influence with your skills in Rivals.

I don't have the patience for it bro.
I am happy with the improvements that's been made by the dev team, there is only so much they can do.

I understand your frustration, you are playing a game to relax and instead you are under constant stress. I do it so that when I'm really angry, I just turn it off and take a break :-)

I enjoy squad battles. My only issue is there isn't enough games to keep me occupied for a week. I'm usually finished it in a couple of days. Hut Rush this year is way too easy now it's been fixed, I have that completed in a couple of hours. 😁
I do have game pass but I don't get the same buzz from any other game like I do from NHL.
In the last 2 weeks I don't think I've finish a game on Rivals, I was in division 3 to start with, now I'm a a few points off division 6 because I quit as soon as I see someone abusing the glitches 😂
Maybe if I was a kid again I'd be doing the same thing. I'm just old and grumpy now.. Haha

@Stubo_NHL24 Match number 2... the same course and a 7:0 loss... I'm going to adjust the strategy... :-) Do you know what I'm laughing at?? That actually even a monkey can play the game, you teach the game bug and it's :- )

And I will laugh the most if EA fixes this. Then these heroes probably won't be played much anymore...

I'd have thrown the controller out the window by the 4th goal 😂
I honestly don't think there is anything they can do about it, if it wasn't the cross crease goals they would find another glitch to abuse.
It's a shame because when you do find someone that doesn't abuse the game 9 times out of 10 it's really enjoyable.
Good luck with your new strategy 🤞😊
