Once again requesting an answer on WOC matchmaking

We know that the AI is not fun to play with or against. That is objective for WOC. They get burned too easily, their hockey IQ is questionable at the absolute best & their physicality is upped to compensate for it. Yuck. Common sense = full teams want to play full teams. 

We also know that the same bugs in WOC that make finding a game take way longer than it should (dressing room errors, loadout glitch, repeated puck drop into a crash) are likely to still be in the game, as they have been now for almost 10 years despite multiple complaints from the player base on forums, Reddit, and EANHL comment sections. 

So, how do we make sure WOC in 26 isn’t just menu simulator like it was in NHL 25? YOU ADD BACK THE MATCHMAKING SETTINGS THAT SHOULDN’T HAVE BEEN REMOVED IN THE FIRST PLACE. 

The bugs + having to leave what can sometimes be MULTIPLE LOBBIES just to find a full team to play against just turn WOC into menu simulator. Please for the love of god, use common sense. 

Match My Room Size (+/- 1 is all that’s needed) 
Use Best Game Location (optional) 

Just do this and I’ll give EANHL another $100 of my hard earned money, but even I can’t justify pre-ordering this product again when you actively choose not to listen to your player base.

  • WOC: Please make the AI goalies really good! I’m sick of the same bs ways to score. I’m sick if 9-8 final scores. Scoring is boring. Make it hard to score make it exciting to score. 

    PLEASE TAKE THE BATTLE PASS OUT. This isn’t Fortnite. It ruins the game. 

    make it fun again. Make it exciting. 2-1 games 3-2 games. Fun
