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

Can you please fix the salary increase bug. And also the bug for creating players. This should have been been in this patch.

They can nerf close quarters all they want it's still going to be one of the best x factors, it's just way too useful. There's so many x factors but everyone just uses the same 4 or 5. EA can condense about 20 x factors into 6 or 7 to make them more useful and create a better balance between abilities. We don't need 3 different passing abilities, 4 different deking abilities, 3 different abilities for shooting off the rush, etc.

@EA_Aljo Something that needs a fix is when creating a player. When doing the figure value on how much they’ll get paid. Just goes up in intervals of 5. Where it would usually race up quickly.

Takes like 2+ mins to set 3mil

@Andochiefs That has happened for every slider-adjusted attribute I've encountered, including birth years.

@EA_Aljo List of bugs to fix

You can't turn off suggesting passes, you can't even turn off the sound during the menu, which is annoying.

The game is loading slowly
When I select a team the sound is before the team logo is shown, scrolling through the rosters everywhere there is a noticeable delay and lag when creating a player

The indicator under the player cannot be reduced even if the game offers it

The backup hit is on the puck cover button, when the puck cover was on X it was better

At the opening match of the FINALS Florida@Vegas, the FINALS logo finally appears on the ice. But in PLAYOFF mode in normal game it is missing there.

Without a full presentation, we don't at least have an introductory intro for the goalkeeper

__Positive Things__

+ The lights on the ice surface are great as is the licensed music (the feel of a real match in the stadium)

+ when ONLINE without the puck, I can show with my hand who teammates should guard or occupy

+ Back repeated shots, also added shots on hits, shot on goalkeeper saves is repeated 3 times it's great

+ The fans start cheering when we press the opponent in their zone.

Already pre ordered NHL25. Pressure system makes no sense in this one, defence are useless and may as well not have them in this game... They can't properly dump the puck and cannot make solid hits in forwards coming into the zone

Hey Aljo!

I was just wondering, in EASHL can you customize your player's Home, Away, and Alternate equipment, details, etc. all at once? It is a very tedious process to update one small change to a player since we have to do it 3 times (once for home, away, and alternate versions).

If this isn't currently possible, is the team looking to implement this feature? My club and I have found that the new player customization menu (even though it is faster to change details of one variant of our player), the total time to make changes to our characters appearances/details now takes longer than in NHL 23 because we have to do it 3 times for everything to be synched up ☹️

Thank you for all your work, and I look forward to your response!
