Programmation game

EA doesn’t want to talk about it, but there is indeed programming in the game.

All regular players know it and talk about it.

Here’s what happens: Our players skate very slowly, as if they have a refrigerator on their backs, and move sluggishly, like skating through concrete.

In CHEL mode: If you’re playing against silver-level players while you’re at platinum level, the system will make your AI players perform at a silver level to balance things out, and your players will be slowed down.

You can spend 2 minutes in the offensive zone, but as soon as the opposing players regain possession, you’re immediately under pressure without having been seriously threatened in your zone.

EA will never admit it, but all of us long-time players know that’s what’s happening.
