IceQ? More like Brain Freeze - OWN GOALS

IceQ? More like Brain Freeze - OWN GOALS

Hi all,

I have been playing this game for decades. The last few years the "own goals" thing has gotten utterly ridiculous, both in BAP and Franchise. This is from BAP a few minutes ago.

The best part is hearing Pounder (THE WORST EA announcer of all time, but that's on another post) say, "You don't see that very often," as it happens for the SECOND TIME IN ONE GAME.

of the HUNDREDS I have seen, this is BY FAR the worst. Done by an 11 year veteran, no less.

NHL teams go ENTIRE SEASONS without an "own goal."

ICEQ? Seriously? this is infuriating. Please fix it.

I could not get this clip to load to EA.

    Huge amount of own goals in this game. (CHEL 6v6). This same problem was in NHL24 too. Example: Puck stops at the goal line, and the goalie can't pick it up or do anything to the puck, but suddenly he slams it into his own goal by animation. Or then its own defenceman.

    Also, huge amount of weird bouncing pucks that somehow miraculously end up to own goal.

    There are lots of games where there are more lucky bounce goals or own goals than "normal" goals. By normal, i mean a goal scored by playing, shots, or one-timers. This is very common, even in competitive series. There are a lot of matches like this. I could understand if this happened rarely, but this happen too much.

    Sometimes feels like the puck is some kind of superball. If puck bounching could be tuned down i think it would be a worth a try.

    Seriously? Why even try to play the game the right way.

    Started BAP in CHL tourney so far 10 periods played 3 own goals, 2 in one game for the same team, the only 2 goals they scored.

    why bother to improve and gain skills when the computer is just going to donate your opponent goals?

     

  • CHL finals, 2 own goals including the game tying goal with .2 seconds remaining. I can't begin to describe my frustration
