Line change malfunction in OT, champs game.

HiEA_Aljo 

plesse take a look at this video. My forwards completely glitch out trying to line change on this play. Sadly it was in OT in a champs game, but I digress.

**sorry supposed to say line change malfunction**

  • Thank you for posting such a good video of how awful their line changes have been this year. Hopefully with this they'll actually address and fix it and not just brush it off. That is actually broken af even recycling through lines doesn't work cause it just throws out whoever it wants. I ended up with Kucherov and Laine as a defensive pair one time cause that's what they game decided should happen.

    Thats bad dude hopefully it gets changed. I have also seen a similar situation in online versus in 3v3 OT. The forward gets stuck at the blue line and so you are running a 3 on 2 defense. I know this happened on NHL 24 not sure if I have seen it on 25 yet but hopefully it was fixed. If I come across it, I will provide a video.

    yeah, the game is in a really bad spot right now, programming wise.   I mean, what do I know about programming a game?  nothing.  But they have completely overprogrammed the online experience.  It's almost impossible to take seriously, at this point.  I guess we can see what the GWC is no longer.  Sure they will say it's a financing issue, and i'm sure that's quite true.  But with this new team running things at EA NHL, we are no where close to a finished version that would be worthy of public display.
