Don’t be sorry for the long rant, this is what we call passion 😀
I will try to get to reply to the good points you’ve made…
"Compared to what I dealt with last year the CPU teammate AI does play better, although I still have a problem with breakouts where it feels like no one wants to go. Too many times my D pairing is leading a rush and it just doesn’t feel accurate."
You need to get in touch with me here. Cause 23 plays a hell of a game right now with our setup 😀
"Another bad is when trying to do a line change I can’t skate a player to the doors and off the ice like previous years??"
Weird, cause I had no problems whatsoever when going to the bench on a line change. Note that I play player locked on D, and everything on Manual on not even the player indicator for my guy 😉 maybe that’s why ?
As for everything else I 100% agree with all your Bads and Uglies, lol ! But as I’m an eternal optimist, I look at the good things from this game, especially the game atmosphere and maybe something good can be done here 🤔😂
Here are a few ideas of the bat that would make this game WAY better IMO…
- Have a slider for that pressure meter. (a TIME slider and an EFFECT slider) Meaning, we could choose how long it will take before the NERF comes into effect and also HOW MUCH you want the players to be nerfed ! If they wanna keep that Pressure thingy, that could be a good compromise 😀 Also being able to remove the visuals on the ice. I mean I’m not blind, there’s also the board that turns RED saying FULL PRESSURE 😂
- If we could fix the Goalies also.
- An option to remove that FORTNITE CELLY would also be a great start…
Anyway @BoredJason13 great to see I’m not the only one feeling like this 😉

@PernellKarl027If you can drop a link to those sliders I’ll definitely try them. As for the line change I’ve always disliked when the auto line change during a long period of play would happen, so I put it on manual. Only would change D when going to offensive zone and vice versa with forwards. But I feel like if I’m on a certain player (say a center) and I call for a like change, then swap off that player, the entire line changes except for that player. And when you change back to said player and try to force them off the ice, they don’t go
Can you actually change your lines this year? Lol
Cuz in 23 unless you were controlling the whole team you couldn't. So annoying.

Im lost here buddy 🤔 I always have played this game on manual line changes and never had problems changing my lines, playing as the whole team or playing Player Locked which I do 95% of the time….
I always played the game in 6 minut periods and getting realistic stats.maybe you should try to play shorter periods

It is now a whole SETUP of Roster and Sliders that you can find at Operation Sports:

Keep in mind that we are coming pretty soon with our final update for 23 and it will blow your socks off.., We have been working really hard under the hood on discord for the past month and a half…

Now for that 24 Trial….
I just played one period LD for the Coyotes and I’m very sad to say that I found more things to put on my BAD list 😕
This was played with EA "ONLY" slider preset… Only change I did was put the GameSpeed at 0…
I mean, this is just one period… It looks like stats from a WHOLE game at first glance from my other setup !! Not even… There’s way MORE HITS than in a entire game 😳
Adding to my BAD LIST:
- The DUMP action has been nerfed big time… The puck only travels a few feet off the ice and on top of players jumping higher to catch it, it makes it almost impossible for a team to clear the ice on a PK, on top of being incapacitated already as is…
- Defense is NO MORE. You like and enjoy playing a great defensive game ? Better luck next time….
- Only ONE a presets of sliders… A One size fits all mentality… EA truly wishes that everyone would play ONLINE with that set of sliders and that’s it.
If you wanna play 3 minutes periods in an Arcade environment you will probably love this game… As it is now, it’s clearly not for me…

@PernellKarl027I am a D only player and I am just experiencing the typical new game glitches where there is poke check penalty cone is too wide. The Total Control scheme is awesome for D players. The player animations are top-shelf and just the overall fit and feel. The puck magnetism for the CPU players is a little too strong at the moment also.Looking good EA!
I also mostly Player Locked on D, but I didn’t even try the Total Control yet… I’m so used to skill stick.
Let me know the advantages and some tips if you have time on Total Control, maybe I will try it one day 😀
Thanks !
