EA NHL 26 CHEL WOC IS A JOKE

You're very welcome. Thanks to you and everyone else providing constructive feedback. It's appreciated more than you know.

I honestly do appreciate what you do, and i think the devs do alot of good things for the game also because it has improved alot from the older days even tho we as a community gripe about it, but they add so many things that are unnecessary to the gameplay that it takes from the game itself being good :/ Like those diving shot animations? just tell them remove it entirely because its got no reason for even being in the game really its so unrealistic unless someone can show me real videos of real people doing it in an NHL game. I've had Ai try to score on me in my BAP Goalie like 10-15 times a game that way and i just shake my head every single time. I play mostly either franchise mode offline now with sliders tweaked or BAP with sliders tweaked for an enjoyable experience (which you can do with the right settings). I try not to complain about Drop-ins because it is 10-12 ppl who never played together before playing a hockey game together, usually gonna end up sloppy hockey. Stick Checks need a fix tho just seems you never get the puck properly even with a perfect stick lift and high attributes, but i find Poke Checks actually to be in a good spot if you can get it proper, and playing as a human goalie is wayyyyy more fun this year than its ever been so kudos to the devs on that. :)

We only started getting complaints about this recently. And for good reason. They are activating at times they shouldn't be. The team is aware of it.

Hopefully, we'll see stick lifts addressed. I know this is another issue the team is aware of. I don't have an update though.

Thanks for this. I know human goalies were very frustrated with the last couple/few games.

Listened to all your superstar tips and tricks but I can't do anything when it comes to 2-3 vs 1 for the goalie is complete crap, same one-timer three times in a row, changed style and guarded the shooter then the other one scores two goals between the post and the goalkeeper

YEAH YEEEES I KNOW LACK OF SKILLS!!!!!! Coming from those who have been playing with friends for 15 years, have you ever try drop in?!?!? seven out of five players are behind the opponents' goal and eating sausages got **bleep**

Drop-ins are a cesspool. When my club isn't available, I will search drop-ins until I match up with a club because the experience is so much better. I'd like to see Drop-Ins have an option to match with clubs only. But for now, I'd suggest backing out of lobbies until you match with a club. 

A quick way to know if you've matched with a club is their club name will appear above the list of members in a lobby. If you match up with teammates and don't see a team name above that list, back out, enter drop-ins and do a search again. 

It's tedious, but IMO - the best way to enjoy WoC without being part of a club.
