CHEL whistlist on NHL27

Hi there. Out of curiosity, what did you do when you hit the max level in NHL 14? Did you quit playing since there was nothing else to play for? Obviously, we want you to just enjoy playing hockey with your friends, but it sounds like the grind is more fun for you. Is that the case? Thanks!

The game is pretty much set in stone of what's coming. You better off with nhl 28 wishlist at this point 

Its just sad, the game has a lot of wasted potential

I have 300k EASHL coins, and most of it is useless. You can only buy regular clothing with it, nothing all that special. 

The game lost its soul years ago, they completely removed the chel bag you'd get after winning games which could give you random items at the least, instead they added a soulless battlepass with cartoon characters and silly builds. 

The leveling up and earning stats is definitely intriguing, it would probably stop some smurfs but also make the game imbalanced if you're up against people who play it all day so its a tough one that is.

Theres so much they could fix in this game but its half-assed even below that clearly. They don't listen to the community. at all. And thats its downfall. 

The game is nothing but a yearly money grab 

Hi! I didn't hit max level in NHL 14..I started playing it so late. What comes to that you want people to enjoy game with friends is not true when those divisions are broken. In playoffs divisions worked fine and game was fun to play when there was teams that were at same level wha we are, but after playoffs divisions broke. We played allmost all the time teams that were ta least 2. dibision and we were at 9. division. There was no fun to play at all...fix your division progress or cut out those divisions copletely...

Getting rid of bags is great. Having the shop rotate so we can buy what we want is amazing. I want them to do this with team bags so we can get the jerseys, arenas, and other things we like easier. 

While I'm not a fan of the builds in the Battlepass at least it's free when most places would charge

Currently there is no progress with your player at all.

I agree with this sentiment. Yes we can level up to tier 5 Prestige level 50, but all you get is a gold outfit that is debateably worth the play time to get there. There is also the RP system but it only tracks how often you win and doesnt track the nuances of your performance.

In NHL 14, you had your grades to keep you accountable for how well you're playing and would even lose your Legend status if your grade went below the required A- level. These grades do still exists but are very easy to ignore. I think you can only see them at the end with the post game stats and are in the coach feedback of the WoC menus.  I would like to go back to seeing grades replace the RP rank as the visible player badge, because it's a specific indicator of a player's performance.

No you didn't. You never lost your attribute points once you had your build created in NHL 14. I'd get legend 3 in less than 2 weeks by teaming with people to get our games in fast then worry about the easy A-. 

And not having to worry about attribute earnings makes for a more friendly experience to new people. 

I mean I want the NBA2K method of having our pro where solid play and stats can get you in the high 90s overall but you know in drop-ins people would be losing their mind if they had bad teammates or whatever. So obviously it wouldn't work well. 

Well it sucks now because RP is team based.  A player could have a great game statistically and lose RP because they had a crappy teammate who was the actual cause for losing the game.  That’s why a lot of players don’t want to play with unknowns, scrubs and newbies.  Ideally it should be a combination of  individual and team play.

There are also a lot of very good players with low ranks. If you had to start over on a different account, would you want others to avoid you because your rank is low even though you're a skilled player? RP only means so much about how good someone actually is. My club doesn't worry about this and we've run with many lower RP players who turned out to be better than their rank suggested. 

True there are some good low level players but that’s because they’re “league players” that don’t play clubs or drops often.  I don’t know that though so I use RP as the main indicator which the majority of others do as well.  I’m still not taking a chance with a low level players as it’s too much of a risk to my RP.  This is especially the case because getting to certain RP ranks is my priority!

You telling me if your club is one win from a division title/championship or whatever you’re going to let say a level 1-10 or anyone less than a P1 play as a D or G for you?  You’re flat out lying if you say you would.  In fact your and your team wouldn’t even hesitate asking them to leave.  

I remember one year I started as a Xmas newbie and got denied games because of it.  I didn’t have a problem with it though because I knew the reason why and it was my fault!  If I did that now it wouldn’t matter as much because a lot of the community knows my gamertag and would know I’m just joining the game late.

I also back out when I have an Enforcer as my D partner.  9 times out of 10 they’re going to suck, miss attempts at hits taking them out of the play and take stupid penalties.  Then I have to solely concentrate on covering for them which neutralizes my offence skills.  This also affects my forwards because I can’t help them out offensively as much as I know I can when I do have a proper D partner.  

When someone has been playing this game as long as I have I can recognize the good players from the bad.  RP and rank is a good indication the majority of the time.
