It's 2025 and Arc Raiders offered this feature in a tech test, so whats the problem here? Have they said why they can't figure it out yet, can anyone chime in? We lost a Playoff game last night beca...

So in most games when you DC but can reconnect you are just standing still in place(Apex Legends as an example). So if you have a human player just not playing it could cause problems. Now if you were to want a player to magically go to the bench and a CPU comes out then I'd worry about them reconnecting getting their right player build used and of course the stat tracking. Anyone remember how long it took them to fix pulling a human goalie erasing the goalie stats when they became a skater? It took quite awhile. But let's be honest in Drop-Ins people would troll using this causing an even bigger balance issue. Especially if the goalie wants to do it.
rsandersr47 If someone were to just get online and we had space early in a game then we'd just back out. A record/ratings means so very little. It should be able gaming with friends and trying to have a good time. There isn't any real reward to being a top team/player

These are things that can easily be figured out. Most games based on dedicated servers have this ability already, so why it's suddenly a concern just for NHL is strange.

Obviously, this kind of system would only be used in EASHL - but I'm really tired of 'trolls' being used as excuses for why things can't be added to improve the quality of life in this game.
If EA would be a little more heavy-handed in handing out bans for violating the terms of service, then we wouldn't have to be endlessly concerned about 'trolls' , allowing them to dictate whether or not we can have awesome features.
. The thing with that is we can't tell if they purposely disconnected or not.
Allow only 1 re-join, and the player must reconnect before the end of the current period.
If you get disco'd near the end of the period, you either hurry back or tough **bleep**.
Setting an example by way of permanent bans for being a troll would disincentivize a lot of the poor behaviour we see in EASHL today and might free us from the shackles of being scared of what the trolls will do.

Periods are probably too short to make this happen, but seems pretty fair.

We can't really police every game for people ragging, taking unnecessary penalties, starting fights, goalies leaving the crease, etc. The anti-griefing measures obviously need to be better though.
