Game needs a nerf.

Question

All of these nonsense x factors need a nerf. The game needs a serious rebalance and rework. It's almost unplayable at this current state. Trying to play defense against all these perks is **bleep**.

This is by far the worst nhl too date.

It is honestly a gotcha game at this point.

Like do we really need a skill that negates all interrupts and shoves ? Should there be a skill that slows the goalies reaction down? Do we really need an extra speed boost off a pass? Or a hitting skill that I can lay anyone out with even though my hitting is 69 points.. not to mention the huge paywall we hide everything behind. There is honestly no point in attribute points.. the list goes on and on.... After 20+ years of playing NHL games I give this a 0 out 10... Toss it in the dollar bin at game stop. Cash grab, dumpster fire. I don't think there has been a single update or quality of life patch for woc all year except for the reverse hit fix on face offs.... I guess as a long time fan of the series I'm seriously disappointed.

Yet I'm still out here promoting nhl 27. My post on social media about the play test is over 1,300 views. I still have hope for the series. My hearts just broken.

On defense, yeahh. Almost impossible to stop plays with the current set up / skills / glitch goals. You defend towards a player, toasted middle. You leave them to themselves, glitch goal side pocket. No real way to stop the offense this year in terms of defense, except to try no to let them into your zone. And if you don't play with a team, that is near impossible. Never mind, they can roll off the hits, avoid the shoves, pull off the cheese. Absolute hell for defense and goalies this year.&nbsp;

I feel you in that. The player bought builds do provide a huge advantage to other people, in contrast to what is offered by the customized, hand built builds. In a competitive style game, it breaks the competitive experience. Agreed, that the skills may need a rebalance; almost no creativity in what is used in the games. I see the same builds on near repeat each game. Also, the patch for hitting the center off the face, either isn't working or not applied anymore; I can run straight at the center, on the faceoff, clear them out, no penalty. You have HUT where people can pay; the pay to win doesn't / shouldn't apply to World of Chel. It is fundmentally different than what HUT is and shouldn't factor into its gameplay. Kill the buy only builds, everything in a build, should be available for any player to be able to make. That will balance this. Problem with skills is: if not balanced correctly, absolutely unbalances the game. The line here is excitement, big plays and doing something new / expected. Couldn't all of that be built into the gameplay / engine itself, instead of relying on skills as the mechanism to do so? Reward the players, that can pull those moves off. Don't bake them into skills.&nbsp;

Exactly agent it's ridiculous. This game used to take a good bit of skill to actually be good at. It's all non sense now.&nbsp; Put level 3 truck on and remove all your hitting points and put them some where else. Same with shooting you don't need them.&nbsp;
