Please add "Match my Team Size" back to matchmaking in World of Chel

Need to focus on fixing defense as a whole. Stick-lifts and poke-checks. Force passes going through guys with maxed out D awareness, with quickpick. I understand you make your money from little kids scoring goals, but it’s almost unplayable as a defenseman.

I exclusively play defense in WoC. I think it's far from unplayable. I'd certainly like to see changes made though. Poke checks and stick lifts could use a boost, but more importantly, I'd rather see some XFs toned down. Wheels and Truculence especially.

Not very good argument. It's super unrealistic that goalies let every breakaway in. In real life its not even 50%.

The stick lifts need to be fixed most as of now stick lifts are almost useless

Question, when are they going to update the uniforms for the Greensboro Gargoyles and Newfoundland Regiment?

Without seeing what you're seeing, we won't be able to help with this. I'm still not seeing anyone else bring this up as well. That normally points to an issue with the TV/monitor or HDMI cable.

Hello. We normally don't announce what jerseys are coming until right around they're released. I don't have an ETA on this.

The form score still needs fixing especially if you're on the 4th line and with minimal ice time to score and get points. Why not add a +/- to the overall form score it's ridiculous to have a +2 at end of the game and get a bad form score. The form score is still a mystery to me how they calculate it; it still leans more towards points but have no idea what else.

How did I not know this was a thing until now. I've been playing EASHL since it was introduced. I knew you could switch between puck/player focus, and that Auto-zoom on/off had some effect on how it kept things in focus, but I had NO idea about the hold for a hybrid view. This isn't explained anywhere in game is it? I can't find anything about it. That is HUGE info that should be explained somewhere. I don't see it in the controls or any sort of tutorial anywhere. I'm telling my D guy about this ASAP.
Edit: After testing, it seems like if you have Auto-zoom OFF, holding it down just switches to Player Focus with Auto-zoom "on/auto". Whereas if you have Auto-zoom On/Auto, it switches to puck focus with Auto-zoom off. Strange... maybe useful, but less useful than I was hoping.

Unfortunately, it's not explained anywhere. And I agree it should be.

I use autozoom off and always switch to the hybrid view at the start of games. Which console are you on?
