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

This is outrageous. There are challenges I PHYSICALLY CAN'T DO due to hand injuries.
PUT 94 BACK NOW.

This is one of the most egregious oversights I've seen from this team in a long time...it's like your OA goes completely out the door regardless of how high it is. Your player will flat out ignore loose pucks and tracks to the nearest defender.

@EA_Aljo You guys have managed to keep many of the old bugs and introduce a bunch of new ones. A mean person might say that this reveals why the game has been a copy+paste from previous years for years and years...

Seriously, I love what you have tried to do, but execution is not great. A lot of things need to be adjusted quite a bit.

I don't know if you had a single tester create a CHEL player. Who thought it would be a good idea to have separate faces and everything else for home/away/alternative? Like, when I'm on ice for real, my face looks the same both home and away. I even tried a random shirt on, and I still look the same. Also, I'm still the same nationality, I was born on the same year, and so on.

Hip-checking is WAY too efficient. No matter how slow the hitter is going and for how long he has been in checking position, even slightly touching the hitter destroys the other skaters.

Menus are dead slow. This should be the easiest thing to make lightning fast.

At times defending a player is impossible. Maybe it's because I suck, but I would think that swinging the stick back and forth should have some impact on the puck carriers stick...

The momentum that the team scoring first two goals is insane. It's like the goalies just give up after two goals – and yes, I've been on both sides of this many times.

AI team mates are way more stupid than in previous years. Even if they are skating towards a free puck, there's no one around, the player might decide that "I should no be there, so I'll wait here for the opponent to grab the puck". They are actively skating away from puck. Why?

Sometimes changing player changes the player to someone behind the player with puck. If there's someone in between the puck carrier and the goal, I would expect the change happen to there.

If I start the organization mode, will the next update get there too? In nhl 23 I had to restart the whole mod. For example, new projects on the ice were not added until we reset it?

Thanks for all the feedback. As far as momentum goes, that does not exist other than the new pressure system. Scoring multiple goals does not force that team to play beyond their attributes and doesn't dumb down the opposing team.

@EA_Aljo Ok, thanks. It just really feels like that, but maybe it's something else.

@EA_Aljo One more! In Online Versus, when searching for a game and you click "Cancel" to go back, it doesn't cancel the search.

Confirmation bias is most likely the reason.

Thanks for the report. If you can get a video, I'll pass it on to the team.
