Biggest issues..

While I doubt any of this gets addressed lets talk about where we are.. this is mostly for WoC

Hitting/ xfactors are just not balanced at all. The gane has become extremely arcade like. Hits all over the ice, broken/ dropped sticks all over, stunned goalies, reverse hits.. just all sorts of wild occurrences that takes away realism. Auto tracking hits and hitting power needs addressed. Almost all xfactors need toned down. Some just need to be taken out entirely (mostly wheels) we got rid of wheels and then brought it back the next year, why? The entire point (from EA devs) was to make players feel and play different, something just attribute points couldn't do (i disagree, but I digress) without balance were seeing players choosing very similar xfactors.. 

Matchmaking.. it just needs to exist.. it's 2025 how is this not in the game?

Goalies.. goalies are the worst they've likely ever been, despite this being something they've worked on. Playing goalie could use an entire overhaul. Cpu goalies will save things they shouldn't and let in stupid goals far too often, I'm fine with these things happening sometimes, it's hockey, its random.. but it's just too often. Also far too many teams throwing it on net for a rebound, if I'm being honest we do the same now when we are struggling for a goal. It feels cheap but it's just really effective.

P2W. Yes, this game is now riding the line of p2w in WoC. EA said you would be surprised by how many people like the mascot builds and buy them.. I wouldn't be surprised, they are far better than anything we can make. Why would it be surprising people pay to get an advantage? Does that mean all those people like all the mascots? Or do they like the advantages buying them gives them?

Hitting posts.. all. The. Time. Why?

Late hits not getting called.. why?

What is good and shouldn't be touched?

Interceptions *mostly* feel good.. i get most of them, sometimes they just get kicked out.. sometimes they go right by me but generally not. 

Poke checks.. ive not had too many problems with them, the DSS works better but both seem fine.
