Rainedeath I agree for the Most part but I totally disagree with Being able to swap player builds out mid game.
Reverse Hitting and Hip Check are both abused and awful. If you cant get it to work correctly take it out of the game until its fixed. Hip check is just guys spinning around like tops they some how can follow you all over the place while bent over.
Wind up hitting is a joke. Super unrealistic and should be removed and put back to what old controls were.
Total controls also a joke press one button for Michigan one button for hip check. Just call it skilless controls
They Take features out that were in the game and bring them back 10 years later and claim them as new.
Its Embarrassing what this game has become. When they said Hockey is for everybody i didn't know it would include aliens A moose a werewolf or any of the garbage skins theyve added.
Prebuilds are absolutely ridiculous and should be removed and never brought back. Or at the very least kept out of Competitive Modes.

That's sums up alot of it. You guys had a good thing going back in the day. Now every joe smoo is a hero. You have all these great so called cosmetics but there useless. In the old days you could put +5 +3 +7 and could make a descent build. Now everything is capped regardless. No one cares about wolves or stupid skins this hockey! Not Cod. We don't want a useless battle pass full of crap. Ever since hut came around "the money maker" the game has sucked. For us chel players. I miss North East one and the lobbies! If your going to do hut mix it with world of chel clubs and better club management. I'd love for my club to have 82 d man in place incase my buddy doesn't show up. I mean christ sakes can I atleast change my build and pos at the end of a period if I wanted too? So I'm not stuck with a build all game... it would bring a whole new level of gameplay in. Or can i goto bench and swap out?
Its literally all offense and D is like 4 years behind. I remember the year you brought the defensive stick into play with holding down rb. It worked great. You were able to block passes ect and poof nerfed now it's absolutely useless.
Then you brought in this pressure system. Which agian is all offense. I make a good poke, hit in our end and womp womp. Does there pressure bar go down or reflect that? Hell nah it doesn't fact the pressure stays up regardless whether you get it out of the zone or an offsides..
All it is now is pre.mades and jerks running around d exploiting xfactor abilities, and glitching your horrible goalie bugs. I don't mind new classes like hitting sniper ect.. but premades with 99s need to go.
Reverse hitting needs a rework too. It's being abused like eveything else.
At the end of the day stats don't feel like they matter at all. Now it's just an exsploit fest. I'm tired of hitting a guy 9 thousand times and nothing happens. Can't even take a face off now with out getting laid out instantly. Its just bad xfactors suck. You dumbed the game down so much it's not fun and takes zero skill to play.
That's why it's baby fortnite hockey.
If you suck you suck get better, grind thats the way it used to be now its whatever..
Wish bfo6 guys would come and make a hockey game! Then it probably be amazing. That's a dev team I want on my side. Mad respect to them and the beta they released.

EA_Aljo Xfactor is also lame. Shouldve just went back to the Old Boost packs seen on NHL 09-14. Way better than the Xfactors/Abilities.
Id Like to See Attributes Mean More in this game. So many players use Low Hitting Low Durability Low Balance and Strength To boost their Offensive abilities like speed acc Agility Shot power Passing offensive awareness But the don't really feel the Effects of lowering Other Attributes.
Strength is a Modifier This should Help with Balance Hitting Fighting and Faceoffs. Strength should help in the draw when going for Tieups. Or the push forward.
Durability I see so many people use the lowest Durability you can use to boost Hand eye strength.. But somehow can get hit over and over again without injury. Durability should also be tied in with Endurance The Higher the Endurance+Durability the less affect a Big hit has or less likely to result in injury.
Endurance If youre going to keep the really poor planned Zone fatigue in the game Endurance should mean more. Even with high endurance after 20 seconds zone time your player basically dies even if you are being less aggressive. I like to Collapse in front of the net because thats how my player is built. But Zone time kills my guy regardless of endurance.
Puck Control another modifier. Id like to see this tie in with Handeye Off and Def awareness Should help with getting pucks settled but also how quickly you regain control+ help with Luck loss due to poke check or Bumps.
Shot Power and accuracy Id Like to see In free skate the ability to test your shot like we had in Older NHL games. Target shooting/ShotPower clock. Shot Power should be Easier to control. Low 80s attribute you should shoot in the low 80s a majority of the time Mid 80s you shoot in the mid 80s 90s you shoot in the Mid 90s..... But stamina should have a part in this. The more stamina the more the closer you are to the Attribute level the less stamina the less effective your shot it.
Faceoff I dont understand why there is not ability for this it is crucial in the game . And would be an probably one of the more important abilities. Do you Not use close quarters to have an edge in faceoffs?.
Off def Awareness I dont understand. A player could be in great position and understand the play that is going to happen but without Defense of awareness at a higher attribute level Youre player refuse to break up the pass. I think Both these attribute should be reworked or have less of an effect on the game if position is the key factor. .
Speed Agility And Acceleration If like to see an Obstacle course im free skate. again seen on older games but removed for no reason back in the game. We want to be able to test these attribute to see if its actually worth having High Acc agility and speed. In previous years Acceleration didnt seem to do anything. We want these attributes to actually work.
Balance Doesnt seem to have much effect until you get into the Higher Attribute levels around 88+ If a player has 75 hitting and i have 85 Balance I should be able to resist the hit a bit better than Im able to now.
Hitting Again Lots of players use Lower attribute levels for Hitting. Thats okay but they shouldnt be absolutely destroying people like we see. Lower hitting attribute levels should see less effective hits. Maybe you dislodge the puck or Get a nice hit but Higher levels should help in causing injury or seeing the bigger body checks more effective against Higher balance/strength.
I dont understand why it happens but EASHL used to have really cool features such as stick curve/flex,Skate radius,Free skate target shooting/Shot speed radar and Agility/speed course for skating. Id love to be able to see and test different levels of attributes/Xfactors and Abilities. To see if theyre actually working or if if it's worth adding more points to a shot or speed.
Thanks

Skins and Prebuilds Both need to be Removed from Competitive Modes. EASHL/Ones. You want to Be a Cowboy in arcade with builds we cant create great. Keep it out of Competitive modes. Thanks.

Skins are totally different than X-Factors so I wanted to get some more detail. I'm not a fan of the skins myself. It would be nice if they could be toggled off.

I guess he is probably talking about all those „Skins“ that you can buy and the so called „Seasons“. And I agree, I don‘t want to look like a Moose on Skates and I don‘t want to play against one of these 😂 It really makes it feel a bit like Fortnite tbh.

Can you give some more details on this? What about the X-Factors makes you feel like they're Fortnite hockey?
