Features Missing / Bugs

Please fix this EA, I know the game has only just come out but it shouldn’t have launched like this…

1 - Exact Region / Group Size missing on Chel… This is a huge problem and if it’s not a bug needs to be added back asap!

2 - Intermission / Inbetween Play Overlays such as the Grudge Match and Highlights stay on screen for too long resulting in missing the face off / start of a play, this is happening for my friend too but doesn’t happen to us all the time…

3 - Turning vibration off in controller settings does not disable vibration (PS5)

4 - Turning off controller audio then quitting the game / restarting PS5 turns controller audio back on

5 - There was an issue where I couldn't leave the loadout select menu in the EASHL 3v3 lobby

6 - Missing NHL / AHL colour options in custom branding when customising the brand of your chel team

7 - Alt Jersey not saving jersey or socks when going in team practice on chel (none scrimmage)

8 - Replay showing previous goal scored instead of penalty (wrong replay being shown) 

9 - Menus are ridiculously laggy and slow yet again, though not much that can probably be done regarding that now I guess…

Some of these bugs / missing features are game breaking honestly, didn’t pay all this money for the deluxe edition to experience this day one, I 110 percent won’t be buying at launch ever again! If it takes too long to correct the above… 

(Other than that I love how the game plays, the skating physics etc, but come on please fix what I and others have mentioned sooner rather than later otherwise this game will flop)

  • Any official feedback from staff acknowledging these issues EA_Aljo have never in all my years as a gamer, content creator experienced such lack of feedback to there community… It’s disgusting, definitely talking about it on stream today during my Just Chatting segment, I genuinely think it’s time you get a new team in to work on your games in future… If you want any hope of customers buying your product in the future you NEED to address things ASAP! The longer you bury your heads in the sand and the longer it takes to get fixes out there the worse it will be in the long run. Genuinely hoping another dev team who is passionate makes a great hockey game that will create competition because that is what’s needed now… I swear this is the last time I get an EA Sports NHL game at launch, and I will be making sure as many others follow me with that stand. After spending nearly £100 for the deluxe edition (more fool me) Disappointed is an under statement…

    And no I don’t have photos or video footage of the issues happening but will do so once I know devs are taking fixes seriously!

      You said it perfectly. The sad part is I actually like how the game plays and feels this year with it being more slow but I noticed all these features missing and It was a HUGE disappointment. Thank God for the trial, now I can wait till Christmas and find the game in the 10 dollar bin. They have no right charging 70 dollars for a game that isn't even worth half that.

      Hi there. I was away for the weekend so haven't been able to respond to this. We're aware of the feedback on these issues. I don't have any other details currently though.

        I think its just being trasnparent with the community so people know there not being ignored, right now I can't play Chel until the above is fixed, which is what I got the game for mainly... So I'm stuck with Be a Pro for now... But thank you for letting me know they are aware of everything I mentioned, hopefully we get a patch for it on the 4th or sooner!

  • 10 - LANGUAGE SELECTION.

    I wanted to add one more. This is one that cannot understand. Why this was taken away? Really bad finnish translations (don't know about other languages) and played NHL games with english language and now it is forced to finnish. WHY? 

    Who did language selection hurt so bad that it had to take away? Stop taking away things what you know is something that people need. Last year there was least hybrid controls you took away but gladly bringed back and now there many things that NEED to find their way in to the game. 

  • EA_AljoHey I hope your well, I just wondered if we will be given feedback in a forum post by yourself or devs telling us when things have been updated server side? It would be nice to keep us informed when changes are made :)
