WORLD OF CHEL FIX

PLEASE READ DEV TEAM!!

I have been playing this game since early access lets just say I'm really disappointed this is the first time I've been disappointed in a nhl game where i don't even wanna play. these are huge things that need to be fixed desperately it will make the game so enjoyable.

  1. Poke checks / Defense seems barley existing i could barley make a poke and pick a pass off every 25 attempts by that point you are getting walked its so unenjoyable.
  2.  Goalies this is a huge problem goalies let in every breakaway and they just never make cross saves which will come to my next point with shooting.
  3. Shooting make it like 25 and 24 and 23 where you can actually snipe goalies you barley can snipe a goalie it gets boring doing the same cross crease goal every play that's all i have seen is a cross crease and a breakaway goal.
  4. Passing you never can connect passes most times you cant make good hockey plays like cycle the puck and do cool things cause the puck just goes everywhere.
  5. Speed / breakaways always happening i think its cool yall up the speed but yall did it way too much d man are constantly getting burnt at this point its a arcade mode like that even mode yall do.
  6. Hitting where can i began with this its so overpowered its like a hit fest out there we went from 20 hits a game to a combined 120 hits its really not good too see.
  7. POST wow the post are way too often its not good it makes it really unenjoyble when you hit 6 post a game especially when the net is wide open this needs to be fixed
  8. Puck Play the puck is so bouncy its like bouncy ball it just bounces and goes everywhere it isn't a controlled hockey play like it was in 25 
  9. NHL 25 was perfectly fine you just needed to tune a few things go back to what we had in 25 and just tune the things that need fix if none of this gets fixed in upcoming patch this game is gonna be so unenjoyable and gonna make the money not worth it please listen to the community. @EA_Aljo​

    Id add there is definitely code (this is not new) for an offensive player cherry picking picking up a puck without looking at the play (hes skating towards the opposing goal and gets a pass while looking away from the passer and picks up the pass no problems) while the defending player in the same position between the passer and the player always just lets the puck go by without attempting to pick it up. 

    This promotes cherry picking for breakaway and forces the defense to have to play outside the zone a lot to prevent that play because the system doesnt allow the defenseman to pickup the puck if hes right behind the player trying to cherry pick.  

  • Yes 100% agreed. It seems odd that on the offensive side of the puck, players can receive passes seemingly with eyes in the back of their heads, but on the other side of things - if you're not facing the play perfectly, pucks will slide right by you. 

    This balance needs to be struck by eliminating (or incredibly limiting) the ability for a player to receive a pass from behind their backs.
