Non-gameplay changes?
Is drop-in at all different, or are we still stuck in the outdoor rinks with the clown gear? Has griefing been addressed at all? Be a Pro changes/additions? Franchise? Any changes to the netcode ...

For some reason, no one else ever joins. I can bail out of that room, search again, and get another 2v2 room that doesn't get anyone else...but I can bail out of that room, search, and get a new room with 5 or 4 per side, which can fill up. There's definitely something off with the matchmaking...it's been this way ever since drop in went outdoor and the lobbies disappeared.
Totally agree with you there, there's something off with the matchmaking (drop-in). Been like that for 2-3 years now. Me and a friend make fun of it all the time because well, it bug out all the time every night.
The exemple you said with the 2vs2 or 2vs3 happens every now and then, even at peak hours. It's like all the position are ''locked'' and nobody else can join that room, no matter what...until one person leave the lobby, then boom it instantly fill up entirely. Like that one person was making a blockade that lifted once he left lol. weird lobby tendencies.
It happen in bigger room too, sometimes just in one position, it's even more obvious when that position is a winger, which almost instantly fill up all the time normally, but when the room is full and that one position is left empty for the entire 2 minutes at midnight a saturday night, you know something is wrong with the lobby. Position is again, kind of locked and will stay empty for the remaining time....or if someone leave then maybe all of a sudden it will fill up again.
This also happen a lot if there's only one goalie in the room...where the matchmaking seem to try to hold both side at 5vs5 (5 skaters vs 4 skaters and a goalie). And will hold to this until another goalie join or when there's 10 or less secondes to go before the game launch. It happens so much that we can predict it now a day.
Hell, there's even situation where a room is set 5vs5 skaters and for whatever reason one side completly leave (maybe friends with bad ping or they feel insecure and afraid to lose CR lol) and literally for all the time remaining, nobody join...not one person...leaving us at 5vs0 for over a minute waiting and nothing happen.
I would say that I back out of ''at least'' 4-5 lobbies every night I'm on because they glitch out....so there's definitly something not alright with it.
@EA_Aljo, is there something in 24 that permits VS/coop online with your own settings/rosters ? Or that’s still a no go ?
Bump !
Thanks !
- @PernellKarl027 Toxicity isn't really a problem when it comes to club. Sure you get some teams who just go around racking up 100+ PMs in a game for fun... or the classic of winning a game late and flip the puck over the glass and press pause for them to wait an extra 30 seconds.
There are no glitch goals. Just highly programmed shots and if people allow it to happen over and over it's on them to get better.
Playing with my friends is always a great time win or lose and 90% of the time we aren't even talking about the game.

The toxicity, even in drop-ins it's not as huge as claimed. A lot of poeples confuse some average players with trolls....when in reality, they actually do try their best lol They just don't have any sense of hockey or vision. I would say that I see maybe one troll every 6-7 games or so which isnt too bad. The one that can really screw up games are troll goalies....thoses are the one I see the most.
The glitch goals are neither that bad if you defend properly, just don't allow it to happens.
The dedicated preset...you mean players build? You can play quite around the stats to make it fit what you desire.
Nothing like online games with 11 other poeples, so much more entertaining than offline mode, for the good or the bad :P

Sorry, I think I wasn’t clear enough, I mean the sliders and the settings, not player builds. Like the question I asked to Aljo, that would make me go online in a heartbeat…I hear you about the "online" feeling, trust me… I loved playing Warzone with my brothers and friends, the cooperation, the laugh, the cries, the overall competitiveness, all good. But having to deal with Metas, cheaters, hackers, kids trolling, the toxic environment and all, was taking a toll on me without me even really realizing it…
The day way I quit warzone, was the best day of my life. I feel way more calm and at peace with myself. I will never go back 😉

Bump, in case you missed it… Thanks Aljo !
