Re: NHL 24 Pressure icon meter on the ice can you turn it off?

Yes i think the on ice pressure meter icon MUST have a on ice option to get turned on or off and you only see if the meter is full by seing FULL PRESSURE on the boards that would be ok for me but to se it for a full franchise season + playoffs would drive me totaly insane and is most likely a no buy thing for me.Like if you play a couple of games you know and feel when your meter is full and you dont have to se it in game efter game on the ice.

@coolspot777 

For me this a real issue. I play my games with everything OFF, everything.

I asked the question just a few minutes ago to Tougie and he said that there’s no way you can toggle that OFF 😳 That just told me that I will stick with my setup of 23…

NOW in NHL24, on the ice, you will have a fancy gauge telling you this and on the board, it’s gonna say PRESSURE !!! I mean what more can you ask for ? Gamers nowadays need to be spoon fed… Like I don’t know that I’ve been running around in my zone for 45 seconds and I’m about to die, lol !

Ok this is a catastrophe direction the game is taking with a screen full of things that we dont want to se you want just to play the game and FEEL what you are doing is this a game for kids now?or a game on your phone?.Just have an option so you atleast could turn it off but now we can not do that?ok no buy for me playing with that big icon meter centered in the zone every single game!!i thought the remove of the full presentation was the wrong direction this is even worse!

Such a shame if not.

You could reach the exact same result even if the bar was placed more discrete up in one corner, or just to have one of the announcer to say something that indicate It's full power.

Really bad news if people is forced to see that on the clear white ice.

EA, "Hey, we put this new thing in the middle of the ice so no one can say we don’t add new stuff'. 

As an answer to everyone that thinks It's a copy/paste.

Next stop, a tattoo on our forehead. 

No I dont like this bar in the middle of the ice, if thats not clear by now. 

if not able to turn it off, I really will not buy it. Same for this christmas tree player indicator...hell😵‍💫🫣

Pretty sure we are gonna be able to turn the player indicators OFF. Always been an option in the past. I play player lock, and always turn it off…

@EA_Aljo Can you please confirm this ? Also for the Pressure Meter ? Will the Animated Boards be something you can turn off also ? What about the passing icons ?

Thanks !

I guess, or at least I hope, it works like those Live-Tips...

I can't confirm this currently. We'll have to wait for the playtest.

I don’t know but Chris Haluke and Mike Inglehart looked like pretty big dudes in that video from EA 😳

This goes out to anybody who is saying the graphic is horrible to see or a nuisance to the screen. More than likely, the majority of you won't even notice it after playing a bunch. Much like our brains dnot see wrdos lkie tihs and raed tehm any dfifterenly (really look at the the last statement again slowly if you didn't see it the first time), that graphic will become basically invisible to you as your eyes and brain will have been trained to look past it just like your eyes and brain put the scrambled words back together as you read it. I can't say for certain of course, but I am pretty sure this is how a majority will see it after some time hands on with the game.

@hiperay 

Can’t speak for anyone else, but this stuff on screen bothers me BIG TIME ! Even when I watched the trailer, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. You think I will get used to it ? Sorry but no… I play with everything OFF with Action Camera. Not even the player indicator cause even that bothers me…

Im all for immersion in my games, all the games I play, I immediately turn OFF all huds component. You have no idea how immersive it is once you do.

I play with Fatigue at 100 in my setup, if I’m on the ICE for close to 45-50 seconds, I know I better go for a change, I can feel my player lumbering, I can feel his skating becoming very slow/sluggish… I don’t need bells and whistles or certainly not having the info on the ICE and on the BOARDS to tell me I’m running out of gas !!! Heck, I didn’t even mention the new player indicators 😳

To each their own, but man I’m not looking forward to 24 for that one and only reason.

It's a unnecessary distraction right in the middle of the ice nonetheless. That counter ticking will, even for as short as half a seconde, sometime take you off your game. If you think nobody will pay attention to it and become ''invisible'' to our eyes after some time, why adding it in the game in the first place then. Add this to the new player icon.. urrk...I want the game/ice as clean as possible, not a bunch of flashy gimmicks.

I can also see some poeples using this to harrass other players when stuck for too long in defensive zone if Dmen fail to take the puck out quick enough while the wingers are cherry picking in neutral zone lol
