Community ManagerHey there. Can you tell me which ones aren't working correctly? Video would also help.
As far as removing them goes, we'll have to see what the future holds. Years back when we had the more static builds for everyone to choose from, we got a ton of requests for customization like there was in NHL 09 - 15. Over time, more customization was added and it seems to have been pretty well received. Is there anything else you would change or do you just want X-Factors removed?
Personally, I could live without them, but I also don't think they're unfair. I would absolutely love to see Truculence removed though. That just promotes goon-style play. It's annoying. We've had feedback saying Close Quarters is overpowered against human goalies. Some also complain that Big Tipper is overpowered. I think Big Tipper is in a good place. I don't see tips going in like they used to. Close Quarters is questionable. I might feel different if I played goalie. Still though, if you're letting someone get in that close, that's kind of on the D.
Thanks so much for the feedback. If you have any other details to add, feel free. It would be good to hear how you'd change up ability customization in WoC.
I appreciate the custom builds.. but my biggest gripe are the EA builds.. you have builds with 90 some checking and 90 some speed.. I tend to go against more EA builds than I do custom builds anymore.. gave us custom builds but then made some of the EA builds far better and having abilities we can't have and speeds we can't get to..
As far as just abilities go there are certainly tiers of effectiveness. Many are just not good/ worth putting on the build. Some need some balance work.. personally I think there just needs to be a system similar to HUT you get X amount of ability points.. if you use something like a zone CC or 1T it uses all your ability points, while something like an injury ability wouldn't use many points at all and you could potentially stack a bunch of less useful abilities.
