Anyone at EA watching this gold medal game?

Its not the game that rags the puck. Its the player whose doing the ragging.

Well maybe if EA made defense and bumping more realistic? And stick checks more realistic? You think of that? 

Just replying to your concern regarding ragging the puck. And yes, there are venues of the game that definitely can be improved.

EA literally promotes with the beeping stuff they put out. So I don’t blame people for wanting to win with the meta is your player licking the glass below the goal line. 

so your reply doesn’t do much! I’m talking about fixing mechanics so that you can’t pick rag. 

How do you fix codes that prevent ragging the puck. Like i previously stated. Its the player who controls the movement of his player. The game itself has nothing to do with it. Are you proposing changing the flow of the game. Because i cannot see what they could do to prevent ragging the puck. Its a player issue. Not a game issue.

It’s an EA issue cause defending doesn’t work on this game. The player base will always be toxic. Thats a given. But the game developers can actually try to change the game code for the first time in 10 years. 

you ply the same game I play? Where AI sliders on moments are through the roof and can bump you off any puck? But when you try the same thing on line the players hand goes behind their head and they still control the puck? Or they skate right into your AI and nothing happens. 

I mean you’re blaming players when the game code is outdated. So yes. They should change the code. 

Easy, you make it so people can't dipsy doodle, or skate away from contact without losing the puck. They are catering to the people thar want to rag to the detriment of the game. People complain when they get poked or lose the puck, so they cater to them.

The game was really good back in 18 when defense was excellent, a lot of whiny babies stopped playing because they couldn't do what 26 allows them to do, and EA is hoping they will come back and they won't.

EA is still treating this like a casual game when for HuT and WoC players it's anything but, but there aren't enough of us to make up the lost revenue.

But thats my point. Design codes and adjoining algorithims, make up the fluid action of the games players. Ragging, literally meaning, keeping the puck away from the opposition, is definitely a player action. You say to change the code to possibly hinder or remove this ragging problem. The design codes in the game are mainly concerned with interactional play, allowing a somewhat competitive format. Again. I cant see how any code could be altered to prevent the ragging, without affecting the overall performance of the game. The only solution i can see happening is. Better monitoring of the game. Responsive actions to complaints. And suspensions for actions such as trolling. But, we know that wont happen. Other than that. It is something that is going to be part of the game, as long as players utilize it. As an offshoot example. When an objective asks for passes completed. You can pass the puck back and forth between two players inside the blueline of the opposition. In esscence. This is ragging as well. Should this be changed as well.

You are just constantly missing the point, which is quite hilarious. Maybe if they fix the AI not hitting my opponent when they deliberately skate into them, opponent shielding the puck into the 2nd row in the boards, or simply skating into ANYTHING would make you lose the puck would make ragging a skill. But again, you keep blaming the player for the broken code. 

Fix the sticks going through players, hits not registering, and pucks going through the boards and you'll fix 99% of ragging on this game. It would be skill. anyone who rags is just has patience, which I dont have cause i want to actually play hockey. But keep going on bro you're killing it with the constant repetitive nonsense while the AI in moments can toss you into the 5th row while skating behind you.

What game was it where if you held on too the puck for too long, your guy would basically lose all stamina.......fall and lose the puck? I'm sure it was a feature in the older NHL games.
