Hey, NHL Community. Please use this thread for feedback for the 1.1.0 patch that is going live tomorrow, 10/6.

One thing that definitely needs to be fixed is hitting in the offensive zone.Instead of one-timing a puck or shooting a rebound, my player throws his arms up and tries to hit somebody. why would an offensive player ever do this? I want to shoot the puck

Please use this thread for feedback for the 1.1.0 patch that is going live tomorrow, 10/6.Sucks the old controls won't be back for launch but glad they're telling us they are aiming for late October and not keeping us in the dark and saying something like "coming soon".I really wish they didn't have that meter on the ice like that.I mean they have these new cool dynamic boards which would be perfect for having a graphic like that.. yet they decide to put it in the middle of the ice? Like come on lol

The pressure meter garbage is still way too overpowered. It lowers attributes too much, it has too much of an impact on stamina, it should go to half meter once the puck leaves the zone or the goalie covers the puck or there is a whistle (doesn't completely reset/end the meter).Puck dumps/flips are still way too weak. Teams should be able to reliably clear the puck from their zone on the PK or when the pressure meter is full. Purposely nerfing it just to make things easier on offense is a joke, especially when the defensive tools are all weak currently.Just completely remove the shoving. It causes people to get interference penalties in the offensive zone, and on defense it prevents people from manually aiming poke checks while taking them out of the play because they are slowed down while shoving the air.For the love of god change how the WOC menus work, it feels like I'm in the 90s again using dialup internet. This is completely unacceptable for 2023.Sadly I didn't get a clip of it but I was playing a 3v3 quickplay game, our team scored on a penalty shot, the other team paused the game, and while we were paused someone on the other team was able to keep playing and scored a goal while we were stuck in the pause menu. Not sure if this is an exploitable thing or just a rare random bug.

So there’s a few glaring issues with gameplay both offline and online. Pressure system in concept is great, it builds a tad too quickly still in my opinion. Which moves to the larger issue, the debuff received is a bit too much especially since it doesn’t end of the defensive team carries the puck out of the zone. You can manage to go from defensively hemmed in to trying to forecheck in the other zone with puck control, but STILL be experienced the nerf effect until the Pressure timer is done. That’s a bit backwards and just hurts the team finally fighting back. Shouldn’t be that hard to implement a code in the game to register the defensive team clears own blue line, debuff removed. The other huge issue, it’s far too easy to lose the puck, not pickup the puck, regardless of the stats related to those movements. Often you can be sneezed on and just give the puck to the other team. You could be battling for a rebound and just, not shoot/get the puck despite being on top of it and uninterrupted. Those two things are super painful so far, another note, can the celebration cutscenes be turned off in offline PLEASE. They’re beyond immersion breaking, online, fine I get having them, offline they’re just bad and break game flow entirely. Also small things, defensemen are too easily blown past/AI dmen are brainless and go for pokechecks at center ice too much leading to odd men rushes as they can’t adjust. Flip passing for zone clearing on the PK literally doesn’t work.

@NHLANDERS the puck flip being under powered has been purposely nerfed ,stupidest thing they've ever done ,just once again showing the no nothing about hockeyAnd no you can't turn off the pressure meter on the ice

@sWator32 You can actually turn it off completely. Though you won't have the small triangle indicator above it like in previous years, I found this to not be a problem.

@CordLehman I'm thinking about turning it off completely, but the indicator won't change (the largest one won't decrease even though the setting offers it)

Still no fix for club jerseys. Nothing like playing with friends in a club only to not wear our jerseys…. Is this getting fixed soon or what? This affects quick play club and eliminator club.

@EA_Aljo The indicator under the player (indicator) if I make it smaller, bigger in the settings, nothing changes, the indicator is still the same.

Thanks for the report. I'll pass it on.

I can't play this game without NHL 94 controls. If this is not coming back, please tell us so I can get a refund on my purchase of the game. If NHL 94 controls are coming back, please tell us when, specifically, it will be back as I am unable to play the game otherwise and will move onto something else to play.

I dont work for EA or anything but I'm pretty sure the 94 controls are gone for good. Hybrid will be coming back with the 2 current ones but I don't remember seeing anything about 94 ones coming back.

Most people play with a top down view, I would say the meter is most important for defence. You wouldn't be able to see it on the boards
I think the boards already flash when full pressure though.
We're only about 10 games in during the beta, and I already don't notice it.
I do agree it should be able to be turned off though for those who don't want to see it

There are no plans to return the NHL 94 controls currently.

They can't do this because on defence you need to be able to shove players to disrupt the play. You are also often holding vision on D to face the puck. So if it negated the shove, it would take one of the D's key weapons.
They may be able to key it based on zone however.. if they can do that then it's fine. As long as D can still use vision and shove at same time.
