Hi, you seem to be confused but I'm not an EA sports employee, in fact I am a paying customer who is incredibly dissatisfied with the latest update. It is not up to me as a customer to put together some kind of video dossier highlighting all what is wrong with the latest update. Quite frankly that would take many many hours, and currently I'm not too keen on becoming an EA employee.
However, asking me to put together a video dossier of all the bugs and problems seems to indicate that the development team cannot be trusted to find and fix the issues without outside help, and that is quite worrying. In order to help them on their way, I would suggest they watch a game of ice hockey.
They will note the following:
- People don't go flying in every direction every time a check is dealt out, and it is rather unusual for players to go flying through the air and landing 5 meters away after a check. The dev team seem to be rather childish and think it's really cool to see people constantly flying about... it isn't.
- Not every shot hits the goalies arm and then deflects down into the goal. Im not sure why the devs seem to think this is how goals are scored.
- It is possible for teammates to get out of the way of a shot or to try and deflect the shot on goal. For some reason the devs feel AI players on the human controlled team should just stand in front of a shot and let it hit them, blocking the shot.
- The speed of skating and passing are now oddly out of balance, players skate too fast and the passes are too slow, which means the puck often just bounces back and forth in some kind of frantic ping pong fashion. The speed the game had before this "update" was balanced... the passing speed was faster than the skating speed. I'm not sure if you were trying to react to players who felt the game was to slow, but this was a major overreaction and clearly not tested.
I hope these little pointers can help the dev team on their way, but a better start would be to unroll all the changes made in the last "update". I must say I truly cannot believe a single one of them tested this update out before releasing it.
Not meant to sound unkind in your direction EA Aljo... I am sure you are doing the best you can. Just am almost flabbergasted as to how bad this update was and amazed it was actually released. I wish you a lot of luck, can imagine you are in a difficult position as well when the devs release updates like this one.
