Patch 1.1.0 Feedback Thread

This is a very bad game, there needs to be a lot of updating before this even becomes close to a decent game …  clubs 10-0. Just cycling with no shots for 15 seconds getting full pressure and shooting. Dumb dumb.. all skill is now gone… and now delay update lol. Ea needs to retire nhl franchise 

@x-Tryme-o 

What is your defense doing? Are you not pressuring them or forcing them to move the puck? I get being pressured, but it's not impossible to get the puck out of the zone. With today's changes to the pressure gauge, it'll take a bit longer to fill up so you should have more time to stop this from happening.

@orgf6n02uoqzYeah this is a massive oversight. When you hold LT, there should be an automatic negate of hitting.

They changed 1Ts to only manual, which is good, but when the puck is loose in front of the net and 5 people are chipping at it, you are getting 10 elbows flying up in the air like it's Royal Rumble.

That was a necessary feature for cluttered areas where several people are making a play on the puck.

You nailed it. This change created a massive grey area in the control scheme. Queueing for a shot shouldn’t result in a unintended shove in a loose puck/one timer situation.

I feel like the user goalie could be fixed. I hate how you’re basically attached to a string in the net and it messes with positioning and making saves in general. Just get rid of that feature idk why it was put in the game.

CPUs are wayyyyyy to good this year even on lower difficulty’s. Goalies are outrageously good for some reason. Also when I’m playing offline against superstar difficulty cpus, their team is making sick plays but my cpus on my team are always out of position and don’t make any effort to play defense or go get the puck. If I’m playing at a high level difficulty I’d expect all cpus to play at superstar level. Not just the other team. I’m currently trying to get X factor moments done and I’m playing at pro difficulty but I can’t get the puck at all and the goalie is making the best saves I’ve ever seen a goalie make ever in existence. Player cpus on my team are constantly getting penalties away from the play, and idk how this is a feature in the game but I can’t put the stick in 2 hands for them ti cross check someone. Idk why they do it when I can’t physically press a button or trigger for them to do that. All I wanna do is make a simple push check to get them off the puck not oh I wanna cross check him and gets penalty and get scored on instantly.

I feel like I’d rather see things already put in previous games in this game but just making them all around better than keep adding new things that are glitchy and need patched all the time.

This is all regarding 6v6 EASHL - I don't play or care about other modes

• Pressure system still needs tuning. It's too punishing. Shouldn't take a hit to everything (passing, shooting, pickups) and also not be able to recover stamina if standing still. 
• LT + shoot still goes for a hit in the offensive zone
• Still can hear OTHER player's (even other team's players) passing activation
• Still can see other teammate's passing controls
• Probably shouldn't be able to see other team's fatigue meters
• WAY too much RNG/Too many bounces - you can basically straight line into a crowd and the puck can trickle through 4 players and the goalie without anyone ever having control. This is basically the biggest issue with the gameplay right now. There are way too many trickling, bouncing pucks that just roll around. I get you're aiming for some kind of twisted version of realism, but it makes for a terrible gameplay experience. 
• Interceptions in general are very strange. Force passing with the passing buttons is now very effective even through well-positioned defense. 
• Dumps are still hilarious and useless combined with the fact that players are now able to catch 100mph slapshots out of zone from 10 feet away. 
• Stick handling / deking doesn't work while holding hustle at all - not sure if this is intended for some reason or just broken
• Tons of crashes applying XP tokens 
• Menus are still very slow 

At least we got a store now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is the pressure build up rate based on 5 minute periods or percentage of period time.

30 seconds of sustained offensive zone pressure and 2 shots on goal are different for 5 minute periods than they are for 20 minute periods.

Is this system designed with line changes in mind at all, why would it still be active after a whistle and line change?

*** I have not played yet today since the patch went live ***

When you create your World of Chel Player, you can‘t turn with the right joystick as its written at the bottom. Need to be fixed, thanks.

I also can't believe you guys made it so that there is a stick handling delay based on where the puck is relative to the stick. If you stand still, you'll see that the palyer is jiggling the puck back and forth and when your stick is on the INSIDE of the puck, there is an extra motion/delay to put the stick outside and then go forehand or backhand.

Absolutely hilarious. 

I've attached a video of this in action. This is in practice mode. It's even slower in game. You can see the hesitation vs no hesitation.

@KidShowtime1867Well maybe they should learn to adapt to being under pressure or maybe the devs just wanted to nerf defense to show how great a job they did with this new Meta
