@rsandersr47You have to take it in the way that they been on the ice awhile and feel pressured. It's also to promote people actually playing offense even if winning instead of ragging the puck.
I know this is a very sensitive word around here, but basically this is a SCRIPT ? It gives players in the OZone a BUFF, while giving a NERF to guys in the DZone when being "pressured"… Another thing that drifts away from a good organic gameplay… Things that are supposed to happen organically, randomly are gonna be forced down our throats 😣😫
Community ManagerOut of curiosity, what camera do you all use? I imagine it's a lot more noticeable when using one that's more zoomed in. I play on Zone and barely notice it. So much that I forgot to even check how full the meter is. I get very focused on the gameplay so I'm not even really noticing it until there's a stoppage.

Maybe it’s because you already play with lots of bell and whistles on the ice and one more doesn’t really bother you 🤔😉😆
I mean ZONE is way up there !

I use zone, and I’ve were being honest, I start to block it out as well. What I do find super annoying is the boards all red and looking like Christmas.
Community ManagerNo. I turn off as much as I can. The only thing I leave on is the offside warning. Otherwise, the on-ice trainer is completely turned off for me. I use player indicators since those come in pretty handy in WoC. Otherwise, I try to have as much clutter off the screen as possible. I think it's more about where my focus is though. I'm just trying to gather some more feedback on this. It might have to do with camera angles or possibly it's more of an issue with those that want to replicate how a game is broadcasted while watching AI teams play each other. If any of you have any details on this, let me know so I can pass on that feedback.
Community ManagerI agree. I'd like to see the option to turn it off, but as it is, it's not getting in the way of anything. I totally understand this is just personal preference though so I'm trying to gather some feedback on this to see if there are specific conditions where it's more apparent.
Thanks for the feedback, @BellisJ01. Strangely enough, I'm not noticing the boards, but I see how they can be distracting. My eyes tend to focus on the puck and players so I'm not looking at the boards much, but obviously, this isn't the way everyone operates.
I play on action cam and always turn ALL of the extra visuals off, even including player indicators. I want it completely clean, like you're there at the arena. Maximum realism and immersion. So for me the pressure meter completely ruins it.
I also play on true broadcast occasionally. Yeah it's smaller from far away cameras but it's still there annoying the hell out of me.
I like the gameplay in 24 and lots of other stuff too, but that meter's gotta go for me to buy the game, simple as that.
I've been reading from many different gaming forums about this whole pressure system what EA decided to put in NHL 24 and... Almost every message that has something about this pressure system is NEGATIVE so it is pretty clear that this system is not liked (at least in Finland) so... I have made my decision to NOT BUY this years game or in the future as long this system is in. It is not all about that meter. It is also about this whole system and how that affects your gaming experience.
I have not seen boards going red or any meter in middle of my TV screen when i have watched real NHL game so... If it's in the game it's in the game but that kind of thing is not in the real NHL game so why it has to be in the game? Just wondering...
See you next year. Maybe.
