World Of Chel Patch
For the the first time in 5 years i Skipped a few days of of playing nhl the one game i would play completive on off days and after work cause i love hockey but this year has been the most brutal ive played in any nhl series so many things are ruined in this games i can tell you exactly what needs fixed if you want this game to be good.
LT - if you cant completly remove it then tweak the traits lower that people exploit there should be a penalty for ur balance for turning your back to the play or Lt to the side like everyone does there should be a penalty reduction to your possesion of the puck and your balance and strength just so people are not over using it and reduce how well a trait works in the eyes of how it could really be exploited for one (Warrior is a big one everyone runs it mostly cause of the power forward / truc / enforcer / twf / defensive d man / two way d cause they will run at you and know you down if you dont have warrior but then people are starting to put it on the big builds so it makes it where they eat eats and stay on there feet. it just needs to be tweaked smartly like do not make it a trait where its hit reduction just make it where ur get up speed is faster and you dont get injured as much keep it like that but remove the hit reduction stat.
Wheels/Elite edges - this ones a big problem people are abusing them leaking at the line right by a defender then going past him cherry picking getting the puck then clicking in on left stick to get the boost for breakway each time its a big problem i have seen a total of 100+ breakways in all the games ive played its even worse in League gaming games and scrims people are not even playing hockey there exploiting it. wheels is bad too it drains ur energy and it always activates now with edges its same people use edges to LT it makes ur LT way faster so people are using it for that reason not to truly move its just used mostly for the big builds cause people wanna lt same with little ones
BIG BULDS- this is the one of the worst the big builds getting 97 speed this is where the wheels and warrior and elite edges get abused people use the big guys to not get hit and cause they get that extra speed boost because its only builds you can go 6ft 2 and have 97 speed this goes for power fwd / Enforcer / and defensive D man you could also throw in two ways in here too and grinders cause there getting 96 speed with 90 strength which is crazy people are gonna keep using this and making the game unfun until its tweaked.
Defense - this ones a big issue its quite unfair d man are barley able to get involved they get blown past buy the cherry pickers because of wheels and there forced to stay behind the line even on offense when there team has the puck you cannot poke the best or intercept or stay in front of a guy at all without getting cooked its really sad to see there are some top d man ive seen who get wrecked same with wingers not being able to pick a point pass or poke or trap because people just Lt and you get trip penalty most times or dont even get a stick on the puck its really not fair. defense is none existence in most cases.
Shooting - This is another big problem i feel like most the shooting is coming from in close to net example : pass back door force goal or a breakway. your chance of sniping a goalie is 1 out of 20 shots each time the goalie just saves each shot even tho it should go in i really thought nhl 25 shooting was good and smooth this year its just clunky and ur guy shooting is like a muffin most times on a good open shot. there needs to be more sniper and of course one t like one t is not the best this year either idk why in hut you can snipe well and hit one t but world of chel you cannot.
Goalies - A few tweaks needed but not over doing it goalies struggle with cross crease and being able to move over faster but i do feel they are able to save every shot when you try to snipe which is a bit over doing it i think goalies should be good but they should not be rewared for every save even when there not in position.
these are the big problems we have this year EA_Aljo EA needs to take advice from people who have played this game for years and even have played with content creator that are ea game changers and big twitch streamers. The dev team needs to act fast and get a patch out as soon as possible. make it a good one too.
