The XP wasn’t an issue 😂😂

IceQ Seriously?!?!?The AI is an absolute joke.BAP 30 seconds to play my team is down by one.What does my AI coach do? Pull the goalie? Activate a defenseman? NO, silly boy, it employs a 1-4 defense in our own zone while my player skates into the offensive zone all alone. Pure genius programming

Seriously I saw no downsides to the xp glitch continuing to exist.I would be more than happy if they allowed everything to be unlocked right away to make way for more player creativity. The only incentive to play this game is because you want to.

Wow, that Patch for fixing the CHEL Level issue came fast. Why not fixing every Bug that fast and prioritize them…? For example the AI Goalies and Players are - holy moly - awful.

Why do you release updates during peak playtime in Europe? Release the updates a few hours earlier so you don’t disrupt players as much.

Yes, but that doesn’t explain why the update couldn’t be released a few hours earlier. It only shows that EA doesn’t think things through properly.

My club and I were saying the same thing! We don't have time to grind like other clubs so it's been a blast having all these customization options!

Patches are normally released at a time when the team is more available in case there are issues. Rather than pushing it live when it's the middle of the night or very early morning for the vast majority of the team.

Why not fix the club customization problem?
What a wasted opportunity
