Patch 1.1.0 Feedback Thread

Something really needs to be done about the drop-in lobby wait times. I get that the right intentions were made in the double lobby system of  matching teammates and then an opponent, but it takes way too long. We are only a few days after launch and I've successfully played 1 game in 2 hours worth of time. This system only works if there are high user populations, that happen to be playing the right game mode. Not sure if this game has the player base size to be doing the matchmaking in this way.

The puck dump is useless now why is there no power? Nhl players aren't experienced enough to flip a puck further than 20 feet? Also changing your player feels so strange in 24 it's so hard to change to the guy you want and it feels delayed when you use a new guy like it's sticky. Really unimpressed so far EA

Kind of surprised that EA doesn't give you the option to apply goalie equipment color changes to all equipment styles like in recent years. Have to manually change it for every single pad.

I have to say I kinda like the new creation interface, but yeah I agree I miss the Apply to All button

I found an alternate way of dumping, it sort of gives you more height and power. hold down R2 and shoot with Right stick. @EA_Aljo 

One thing that needs to be fixed in the next patch.  This concerns only the CAPlayer.

1)  When creating a player, the drafted year is either 2015 or 2016, no other years available unless we go back to the previous screen and edit it after the 1st save.

2) When creating a player, the potential range are always set for a forward, not for defensemen.  This issue happened back in 2022, why does it come back??

3)  Newer pads, gloves, helmets, skates or sticks need to be in alphabetical order, not at the end.  Bauer newer stuff needs to be with the B's not in the end with the Warriors.

4) Apply to all saves about 3 minutes for each goalie created.  Please let it come back in the next patch.

Hey there EA,

you said in reveal trailer, that if we land a big check, opponent will re-enter the play slower creating more turnovers and counterattack opportunities. This is not what I'm experiencing in game. After my big devastating hits opponent re-enter the play in just a second. Please, try to fix this. Thanks.  

Hipchecks are still way too OP. Nobody should be stumbling or falling when grazed by a hipcheck. It reminds me of the cannonball era from NHL 13(?).

Either decrease the charge time of dumps or rework how dumps work. I understand not being able to flip it halfway down the ice without needing to charge it, but you need to hold R1 down for like 5 seconds until it's fully charged.

A rework that could work for the future is the longer you hold it affects the arc of the dump. If you barely press R1 you get a high dump, less accurate dump which increases delay of game probability. If you hold it it's more accurate, and the puck has no chance of going over the glass.

Here is my conclusion of 1 week NHL 24

(sorry if some things sound strange, this translation comes from Google)

The update on release day (6. October) has significantly deteriorated the game, which is mainly due to the AI .. (I mainly play the franchise mode)

This already starts with general skating because now the own players often get in the way... Also they often remained standing so I often skated afterwards as opposed, Bodycheck now often simply bounce off the opponent. The CPU gatekeepers already did a good job before but no comparison what they are now .. They are almost insurmountable, really untenable shots or already beaten he still holds them. Only falsified shots still lead to goal success The AI now also causes frustration again because she always hits when she wants and is not stopable what makes me angry night, the momentum is the horror, a game later she lets you win and everything is child's play which is also my fun .. since Frostbite there has been no demanding learning fair AI that won with skill not by cheating

This is how frustration arises instead of joy of playing. And I made several videos of NHL22+23 where my rackets went through those of the opponent u puck. Please change this again. Since Friday, the players are also stuck together again .. and the spectators do not cheer on the away team.

Thank you for letting me tell you my grief
