Eashl needs revamped
Changes needed. Remove all the cheesy cosmetics stuff from CLUBS. Should be uniforms only. Should be serious again. Playoffs should be in home rinks. Don’t understand why it’s in some random rin...

Videogames are meant to be fun. You're allowed to keep your team as serious as you want. Allowing others to have fun with their team branding and arenas has no bearing on your ability to enjoy the game. If it does, then maybe club games aren't for you.
Sorry Kid, I'm kinda with Spike. I too would like to see all those cosmetic players alien,moose,beaver ETC to moved towards Drop In Play and maybe have a few times throughout the year where you can use it in Club games maybe like over a Long weekend or something like that... I also believe that when playing Clubs that the goal horn should be to whatever the Club leader put it as in the Arena Creation and not to what the player selected for his player, if a player wants to use his own goal horn than again should be brought into Drop Ins and special weekend events

I get it; seeing a moose or a beaver playing hockey can break the immersion of club play.
But what I think should be kept in mind that is this is the EASHL, not the NHL. There needs to be some replayability and for a lot of dopamine-fueled players in the target demographic, being able to customize your player to get the most attention is what makes a game 'replayable' to them. When they see themselves playing as a moose, knowing that people notice them - that's what brings these kinds of gamers back to the game.
And I think EA tries to find a balance. The Moose/Beaver players, while retaining their animal skins, are forced to wear the club jerseys in club games. Yes, it's a little odd at first seeing this kind of customization - but once you see it a few times, the novelty wears off and honestly, I see anyone who uses those models as just another attention seeker.
It’s not fun though? Majority of players use them because they know how stupid it looks. Combined with the amount of black players with big grey afros etc. People do it because of how stupid it looks.
Exactly. People love the attention they think they're getting. So if people are enjoying how stupid it looks because of the attention they get.. then it stands to reason the customizations are in fact 'fun' for those people.
Whole point of clubs was being a real hockey team with your friends etc . That ain’t that.
The whole point of clubs is to play videogame hockey as a team with your friends. EASHL is exactly that.
I refuse to believe the AI D have anything to do with the way the humans play as I can’t even count the amount of times a player can just skate right past my AI dman without him even pivoting, trying to hit or anything, he just escorts the man to the net every time.
Refuse to believe it all you want - the people who make this game are telling you that's how it works. So if you want to get the most out of your AI, it's best to pay attention.
A player skating right by your DMan means that player was able to generate enough speed through the neutral zone to cause the Dman to be out of step, forcing them to pivot and lose speed, allowing the player to cruise right by them. 100% realistic. You need to shut speed down in the neutral zone - not AFTER the player has already crossed your blue line. Honestly - some of you who repeat the complaint "everyone just burns by our D" are basically saying, "We don't forecheck, we puck chase through the neutral zone and allow our opponents to generate dominant speed"
KidShowtime1867 Dude you really must work for EA lol I've never seen anyone defend the company as much as you do.
I agree with the people who want The Aliens Moose or any of the other garbage out of EASHL. EASHL used to be a competitive/Fun League. Now its a clown show.
EASHL/Ones Should not Allow Prebuilds Any of the Cartoon Creatures or Total controls.
Prebuilds are A Joke we've already been over this on another forum.
The Cartoon Creatures should be kept to Arcade/Chel Modes Other than EASHL. Make EASHL Great again.
Total Controls Another Add that has really taken skill out of the game. The amount of players that go for the Michigan is lame. All because its one Button now. The Animation for the Mich looks god awful.
Return Hitting to what it was on Earlier Gen.
The Ai is trash you can say that its based on Human play sure maybe it has a little to do with that. But just because the people who work for ai say this is how it works doesn't mean it actually works the way they want it. I have video of the Ai literally skating side by side with a player he refuses to hit or even attempt a poke check. Then the Ai will literally wait until the opposing player is by him to turn around. The Ai will also force the bank pass off the boards when a direct pass is wide open. I also love when the Ai will go back grab the puck from behind the net and then stop skating and pin the puck to the boards. The Ai has a ton of flaws not associated with how the human plays.
Again before you repeat yourself. Just because EA says this is how it is doesnt mean it works how they say.
Dude you really must work for EA lol I've never seen anyone defend the company as much as you do.
I'm not defending a company. I'm simply pointing out objective facts about the game to people who struggle.
I agree with the people who want The Aliens Moose or any of the other garbage out of EASHL. EASHL used to be a competitive/Fun League. Now its a clown show.
I play Div 1 WoC 3-4 nights a week. We hardly ever see players dressed like clowns. And when we do.. it just doesn't matter at all. Like.. I can't stress enough how much seeing an opposing player dressed like a moose or an alien has literally nothing to do with our enjoyment of playing some multiplayer hockey.
If you're wanting to be 'immersed' in this game - then either find a way to ignore or accept custom outfits being worn by other players, or go play offline. It's a simple decision.
EASHL/Ones Should not Allow Prebuilds Any of the Cartoon Creatures or Total controls.
Disagree. Prebuilds are great for players to jump right into the action without feeling they need to grasp the attribute system and spend countless hours trying to optimize the build. Not being allowed to use Total Controls? Come on. That's ridiculous.
Prebuilds are A Joke we've already been over this on another forum.
They're a joke to YOU and the people who don't like them. There are countless more that either enjoy them or don't pay any mind to them because they're not applicable to them. You make it sound like 'prebuilds' are some kind of unbeatable player type that has an advantage over everyone else and that's just not true at all.
The Cartoon Creatures should be kept to Arcade/Chel Modes Other than EASHL. Make EASHL Great again.
The inclusion/exclusion of custom characters has literally no bearing on the gameplay whatsoever.
Total Controls Another Add that has really taken skill out of the game. The amount of players that go for the Michigan is lame. All because its one Button now. The Animation for the Mich looks god awful.
Cool - then defend it. It's incredibly easy to defend and if your opponents are constantly going for it - even better! You know what they want to do , so just shut it down and win the game. Easy peasy.
Return Hitting to what it was on Earlier Gen.
No way. Hitting requires skill now. Previously, the game would automatically aim hits. You may like the game engine doing a lot of the hard work for you, but I personally enjoy the added nuance to hitting that requires skill.
Again before you repeat yourself. Just because EA says this is how it is doesnt mean it works how they say.
You have the tools at your disposal to provide video that shows this. If you can capture an actual issue and provide video - you'd be doing such a good thing for the developers and the betterment of the game overall.
I'm rooting for you!
KidShowtime1867 Definitely Defending EA lol have been for years.
We've also been D1 for every game except 25. We've played less than 80 games mostly because of how bad the game is and Long wait times some nights we have to wait 5+ minutes to find a game
Hitting). The Game never aimed hits for you. This new hitting engine is Unrealistic. In real life the only timing you have is if the player doesn't have the puck and are trying to avoid a penalty but even that doesn't stop some people from throwing the Body. They tailored this game to the Forwards. Also with The Hitting How it is Lag becomes a factor. Input lag and Server Lag becomes an issue especially when youre matched with people who have anywhere between 70-100+ ping.
You want "Skill" Hitting but Zero Skill controls lol. One button Michigan 😂 Youre definitely a 5'10 160 dangler or use a prebuild considering you defend them as well.
Prebuilds. I would have zero issue with a prebuild if I could customize my player anyway i wanted. Here is a pre build with 97 speed + Wheels xfactor or A 6'6 Power forward with 92 Speed Agility Acceleration good balance and strength with Elite edges. Ea Says we removed elite edges out of the mix because of how effective if was but then put it back in the game on a prebuild lol. Get out of here. Remove restrictions from Custom builds and i wont have a problem. If youre new to the game Learn. We all learned how to build our guy the way we wanted them not hard to figure out and if you have trouble ask questions.
As far as Cartoon Characters sure it has zero bearing on gameplay at all. But neither do names but they ban some names to the point youre forced to use Joe NHL or whatever it is now. It has no bearing in gameplay.
Ive provided many of videos to EA over the years it takes years for them to fix it. Some of the best videos ive had were of me on a break away with a defender on my back. The dude would poke check the puck off my stick sounds like a good play but Video would later show the stick was going directly through my leg or torso and knocking the puck off the stick zero trip. It took multiple videos of me sending in for them to actually say that shouldnt be happening. Ive sent in Videos of me Boarding the Ai on purpose just to show them how the Ai would somehow do the matrix and get back up with out ever using his hands or body. All leg strength. Not to mention after boarding him hed get up and Take the puck back from me. Video would later show he shouldve been dead the way his head went into the boards. But he acted as nothing happened.
Please stop defending the game. Again I assume you work for the company as I havent seen anyone defend the game as much as you have. I understand the game will never be perfect but the inability to fix gameplay yet add Battle pass cartoons characters and all the other dumb stuff theyve added is embarrassing. It's almost as if they use the add on as cover ups . Maybe if we add an alien to the game they won't notice all the imperfections in gameplay.
Sorry if you've worked on this game as it's pretty awful. Im not trying to be mean just constructive criticism. 1.5 stars google Review lol. If they cant get it right it would be awesome if they Added NHL 14 to the ps store and turned and put it back online since that was really the last Good game they made
KidShowtime1867 Oh okay! If youre going to allow Attention seekers to exist allow People to use whatever names they want. That was even more fun than creating a stupid looking player.
Nothing was funnier than having a creative funny name and having a person in a crowd hold up a sign that had " I ♥️ (Enter Name). No need for filters anymore. Lets get politically correct garbage out of the game🙂 Kids on the game swear anyway not protecting anyone anymore.
I do like your Idea of being able to Customize your fans for playoffs though.
