FEEDBACK WOC PLEASE LISTEN

Hello i have had to create a new ea since i lost my old one i have been playing the nhl series since nhl 11 idk where to begin with nhl 26 

Wheels / Elite Edges this is the 1 out of the few big problems we have. People who are running wheels are getting insane speed that is burning d man most every play id say there is a 75 % chance you are getting a breakaway every rush its insane amount of breakways i have been playing since the early release sept 5th i have seen a total of 120 bways in all the games ive played compared to last year you were not seeing this much if we are talking realistically there is never this many breakways in a real hockey game maybe 2-3 breakaways a game  in real life nhl but in game wise nhl 25 we saw about the same as real life breakways but when we go to 26 its about 9-10 breakways a game for both teams its over the top and unenjoyable it makes d man not be able to ever be apart of the play cause they have to sit back cause there always gonna be "cherry pickers" which you have to think about and when you are turned to ur back in front of the guy you are getting cooked by wheels cause you dont even have a chance it goes for elite edges with LT it really ruins the game and its not fun when you put 2 traits that people can exploit you are just ruining the game.

Next Up POWER FORWARD BUILD This is a huge problem man 97 Speed on a PWF is absolutely insane and unheard of this was a huge mistake the fact you give big guys who dont get hit off the puck that speed but you will not give a 6 foot 160 sniper 96 speed it logically makes no sense people are abusing power fwds with wheels and elite edges it is legit ruining the WOC Mode and  variety Concept that yall had. yall gotta bump speeds down PWF should realistically get 94 Speed 93 Speed and Fwd should get the speed they got last year 95 if yall want this game to be positive yall have to remove wheels and elite edges and remove any trait that exploits the game and also removing the insane speeds on builds.

LT Abuse

People still are doing LT and just constantly doing it there still getting speed doing it and still abusing it thats all people do now is LT and turn there back so they cant get hit if yall are gonna do LT only do it in a sense of letting ur guy get open for a shot not turn and go crazy and if you do keep LT let there be a pentaly for it like less speed when ur doing it and you are more bound to get hit off the puck when you do it or lose the puck too make it fair so its not getting abused

Goalies 

i will say goalies have gotten a tade better but there is still missing pieces the constant pass over cross back goal not even having a chance to get over for it and bways not reacting at all cause of quick release honestly nhl 25 was good with goalies just needed a few tweaks   

Defense 

im sure we all hear this poke checks and interceptions are quite non existing and not consistent nhl 25 defense was nice just needed a few tweaks this game for defense is horrid.

Shooting / one t

shooting this year is nice but also not its all close range now and you rarley can score from point or get a good snipe off above the dot and the way the guy shoots is weird i loved the nhl 25 shooting alot more above the dot and one t are really not good for close range like they were last nhl they lack getting a good one t off thats why the trait is not used to year cause its really not the best. 

 Puck handles/Control

The puck is so inconsistent so bouncy and a guy barley touches you then you lose it like it happens every entry and around the net its way too bouncy 

last min period lag too is a huge problem your game gets major screen tear

in all honesty code this game back to nhl 25 type and do a few tweaks people will love it and you will save fans because if the game stays like it is now i will not be playing for the rest of the year and thats sad to hear from me cause people see how much i enjoy chel and for them to see me say i do not like this game i despise it they are shocked because they know its true and they know everyone wants a good product. please fix this and get a tuner out asap stop waiting cause the game is very very not good at this point. 

 

EA_Aljo​ thank you if you did read this i went into full debt of what the huge problems are tell the dev team to listen to people for once that actually play this game 80 + hours a year on the game

    Thank you very much for the constructive feedback. It's sincerely appreciated. We're looking into issues with poke checking/stick lifts as well as some XFs the community is concerned with. Hopefully, we'll have some news soon. 

    If you can get me video of the bouncing puck issue you mentioned, we'll review it.

    We also aren't aware of any last minute lag, but I'm seeing reports of it. Can you get a video? Also, let me know which console you're on. Videos are best when they can be streamed so please put it up on YouTube or publish it through your console. Thanks again!
