Are we stuck with another symbol on the ice like the pressure meter?this time the new well timed slapshots can we turn this blinking red/gren/grey thing off??we do not need more arcadey stuff on the ice like pass bottons and pressure meters the game need to be present like a real tv game experience not a pinball NHL game with flashing colours all over the ice so give us the choice to turn these things off.
As a goalie i have and need to turn everything else off from my screen because they are very disturbing and i really do not want anything to my screen that might end up me losing the sight of the puck.
I need full focus inside the rink without anything else than the other players and puck. Please do not screw things up for these kind of things that will bother many many players.
It would be nice if it were slightly more subtle. Hopefully it's tied to the On-Ice Trainer, which can be turned off.
Yea think about it see that green circle every time when you are in the offensive zone would drive me crazy.I mean i do not want to se where the best position is to shoot feels like cheating and a thing maybe a rookie would use like Kidshowtime said a thing for the On ice Trainer it just have to be an option to turn that thing off.
Slevless gaming says it very well from the 5,50 mark in his video

Watching it more closely it also shows green lines in the goal when you score on a well timed one timer so it not enough with the green circle below the player it also shows green in the goal when you scores.Give us the option to turn this off this is a no buy thing to me just to much now on the screen.
I don't mind the one-timer meter nearly as much as the ugly pressure meter but I DO agree and think it's quite obvious that these things should be toggle-able in the menu. Like... what's the reasoning behind not making this a choice? You should be able to go entirely HUD-less if you want to.
Also, on an unrelated note: I wonder if the idea of "greening your shots" will ever become a regular thing in NHL. Right now shooting is just a matter of pressing up after dangling the puck into the position you want to shoot from. Maybe adding a "timing" aspect would ruin the game, but it's food for thought.
Hopefully this can be answered in the near future. My guess would be to ask again after the Presentation video comes out.
Gotta love how secretive game companies are these days. Always playing such details so close to the vest.
Trust me I'm a big fan of things that should be talked about more commonly when they are actual features they talk about and should get basic questions answered.
I don't get all the fuss about having icons on the ice. I'm too busy concentrating on playing the game that I very rarely notice them.
They’re all distracting and as a veteran player I don’t need any of them on the screen. I turn them all off when I first buy the game. I sure as hell hope this will have that option too.
I'm 49 mate. Been playing this game for over 30 years.
We have been given the option to turn off the pressure meter on the ice. There has to be a bit of come and go with the arcade stuff, its for the kids.
The gameplay is the best I've seen it for as long as I can remember. A few bits of arcade stuff is fine by me if the game plays like it has been.
The devs now have a good foundation to build on. I feel more optimistic for the future of the game than I did 2 days ago. Massive improvement on 24.
I don't know I feel like it's pretty easy to understand why people who have been playing NHL games for over a decade might want the ability to turn OFF these newer HUD features. Very relatable for me.
Community ManagerSame. It's not been intrusive at all for me. I do see how it can hurt the immersion for offline players that may not be used to the frantic competition of online games though.
But you should be able to turn it off for those who don't like anything else on screen than scoreboard and a clean sheet of ice, cant be that hard to program so everyone is happy
Where do you turn it off?
Check either in visual settings or Trainer settings. It'll be called "on-ice pressure meter display" or something similar. Just read each setting carefully in one of those option tabs and you'll find it.
