Re: NHL 24 - January 25th Tuner Update Notes

Agreed with your statement about balancing offence and defence.  Instead of pressure system, could make stamina or boost system.  Standing does not decrease stamina, puck ragging does not increase pressure.  Offensive points for passing, shooting, stick checks and hits.  However, defence gets points for shot blocks, interceptions, checks and pokes.  2 systems countering each other to tilt the advantage…one for scoring and one for regaining control and exiting the zone.  There’s a systematic advantage to wearing a team down that goes beyond stamina.

PS…puck pickups are still frustrating and I’ve played this game for a long time, especially when I hit a guy and he gets up and gets the puck before me!!!

My buddy and I just played our first games since the first playoffs.

My screen froze while trying to back out due to horrible ping so I quit and found out it counted as a loss (the countdown didn't even end on my screen). We finally found another match and it was like playing in mud with 60 ping - our computer D was skating off randomly in his own world and our goalie wasn't any better (in fact he was his usual much worse self); they scored on us twice when we had full pressure - somehow our energy lowered faster than theirs...

We're officially done with 24. I get the game for free and still feel completely ripped off; feels like nothing has changed

Oh I have never had a decent connection playing versus lol, it's like the server is on another planet entirely haha.

On my screen I quit out when everyone was still in the EASHL dressing room. Granted, the timer literally just hit 0 seconds but I never reached the load screen entering the match, let alone the puckdrop scene. Doesn't mater, I have plenty of other games to play -- I'm free!

You used to be able to quit out whenever you wanted; I believe it was last year when it started counting as a loss if done during puck drop - Don't remember it ever counting as a loss this early but it was also the playoffs so who knows.

Quitting at any point in the lobby really borks the game anyway and isn't recommended so I guess I should have known better.

Just me who quit out. Was just my buddy and I against 3 people but with me gone there weren't enough players and it crashed
