Hey NHL Fans, Patch 1.2.1 releases this Tuesday, November 12th at 1 PM ET. Please complete all online-enabled games ahead of the scheduled go-live time. Following the deployment of the patch, there is an expected downtime of up to one hour. 1.2.1. Patch Notes Game Play Fixed an issue where during gameplay the game would return the user to the console dashboard. Game Modes Franchise Mode Fixed an issue where a player asks for different term lengths when negotiating a new contract. World of CHEL Fixed an issue where in EASHL 6v6 games a black screen loads in instant replay when in the post-game screen. Fixed a rare crash when playing EASHL 3V3 during matchmaking. Fixed an issue where the message Ranked Rewards +/- X was shown on the player and club progression screen in World of CHEL Fixed an issue where large amounts of player XP and Club XP were being granted in the post game flow causing multiple level ups to happen in a single game

It really opened my eyes to just how much of a grind it is to unlock better arenas, logos, jerseys, etc. Maybe this could be a sign to lighten up the grind on club unlocks.

The XP wasn’t an issue 😂😂

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.

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

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!

  Completely agree! We only have 3-4 members each year and are lucky if we play a handful of games once or twice a week at most. We’re lucky if we even sniff the AHL level arenas by the end of the game’s lifecycle. This definitely added a layer of fun to club customization that’s been missing.

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.

  That is a far more complex issue that isn't going to be resolved in an emergency update.

    That issue is also a kind of an „emergency“. :)

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.

  The majority of the player base is located across the ocean bud. Sorry.. #USA

    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.

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

  If that issue had been fixed, it would have been included. Unfortunately, that's not the case. This patch was mainly there for fixing the XP issue in WoC.

Still no fix for line changes which have been broken since early access.

Why since the patch it seems like everytime I'm hitting a CPU I'm taking a penalty?..

  Nothing changed that would affect this. I'll keep an eye out for it in my own play as well as other reports.

When will the PS5 controller speakers volume bug be fixed? Every time you adjust the volume within the game’s menus, it defaults back to MAX volume when you restart the game. Should be a pretty simple fix I’d imagine?
