EA NHL 26 CHEL WOC IS A JOKE

Is EASHL 3's considered to be a non-arcade mode?  I'm not talking about 3's eliminator which is obviously an arcade mode.

Can't you make the goalie better? It’s kinda a boring when the goalie let in the same goal everytime.

If player use some huge hits x factor they should be much slower like max 88 and agility max 80 -83, now you can be a tall fast guy with max in strength just run over players and score with your 73 shot accuracy.  

Yes. 3s club/drop-ins is not an arcade mode. I'm in agreement that hitting is way too generous and makes these modes play more arcade than they should.

Which goal is going in every time? When I see someone taking the same shot over and over again, I defend it.

Again, I agree hitting is overpowered and needs to be balanced better. I hope that happens.

I think you understand exactly what I mean with the goals, OF COURSE YOU DEFEND IT!!!!  but breakaway / penalty shot / Fisherman on the blueline…. i score the same way everytime i’m free, it’s just boring when 99% of the time it is a goal. 

More tick tack goals so player might start pass in drop in too

 OF COURSE YOU DEFEND IT!!!!

Yes. I literally said I defend it. Because I see them doing the same shot over and over again. When it comes to breakaways though, those happen due to bad turnovers or bad defense. I still see players miss this shot while the higher skilled players are more successful. Which of course makes sense. The bottom line is, if you want to stop getting scored on with breakaways, stop giving up breakaways.

This usually requires a team with good chemistry. You don't typically find that in drop-ins with random players. A club that plays together frequently will make these plays.

The worst part about the hitting is not that they knock you down easily it's that the hitting window that allows you to hit a player when they don't have the puck is far too long before a penalty is called.  The late hits is what is so frustrating especially in 3's as it creates an unfair advantage once they knock you down to go on odd man rushes.  I'm not sure how it is programmed but if the player having to do the hit skates more than 3 strides to hit the player without the puck it should be a penalty every time.  It's not unusual to have a player skate 5-8 strides or possibly more to hit you without the puck with no penalty called.  Can you mention this to the team to see if they can shorten the window to make it slightly realistic?

I completely agree that we're too generous with late hits. I would love to see this addressed.
