Ratings system
While I have and will continue to value the nhl franchise playing since 15’. This is the only EA Sports game I play.
The ratings and xp system needs a major overhaul. I mostly play CHEL. I like the team feel of playing with different types of players . I like to adjust to over all game play of the team.
Here’s my qualm. It takes entirely too long to build xp and rank up. The problem with this equates to a snowball of problems . Let me explain….
- while you have dedicated fan base and clubs I get that. However drop ins for a newbie is so hard to catch a game where it goes through. People backing out, lobbies crash, I hate starting over each year it’s way too long of a grind.
XP should be at triple the pace it takes now. Your dedicated players will keep to club games and do drop ins when club games are not there.
you can not have a few low rank/level on a team example…. L22, L7,L36 against a max player, rank 4 lv 15 , Rank 3 lv 2 . Ect….. you get the point.
Example today I played 26’ for 7 hrs (mind you with double xp all weekend) it’s May2’ and I went up 2 levels . I had Three hat tricks - 23 g total and -17 assists- I play offense mostly but I’m positional and hold my own on defense. You see the problem here. Really ? 2 lvs with good stats and completing weekly missions and 2X XP?- I recommend one of two things . Fix the xp and rating system or remove the rank all together from visibility. This way it eliminates the drop outs , servers tied up always searching for a new lobby, and the game goes back to good old hockey without judgement. Everyone wants to play to win sure. But this would get rid of cherry pickers, trolls, stat padding, and add more team play making it more enjoyable than getting whooped by a maxed out team.
- Last…. Penalize more for quitting a game. I haven’t thought about this one all the way but, DNF is just a number showing currently. Make a Penalized stat system where you lose stats or something. And make positional play more serious. For the love of hockey, don’t lose what the sport is really meant to be . I invite this to open discussion to see how others might feel.
