Please fix EASHL WOC
W.O.C. is a bit of a mess, isn’t it? First off, it’s super tough for a team of two players, especially one of them being a goalie, to find a game against another team with a real goaltender. It feels...

Community ManagerHey there. Even with match room size, you're still going to have a hard time finding a team of 2 with a human goalie to find a match. During early release especially. There just aren't many clubs with that same makeup. They also need to have a reasonable ping. So, it's possible there are other 2 player teams with a human goalie, but the ping is too high. You could also try 3v3 instead. That might get you better matchmaking results.
As far as the AI players go, hopefully they will be improved. I know the defenders in particular are pretty easy to beat.
Hey, thanks for getting back to me! I totally get the matchmaking stuff—it makes sense. But here’s the thing: a big problem I’m seeing is that a lot of the teams my club plays against have players who can just zoom past the whole team and score with the goalie totally caught off guard. It feels like these players have this special skate move that leaves the goalies and defenders totally clueless. Wouldn’t it be awesome if we could tweak the game so that character speed boosts weren’t so over-the-top? It seems like the game mode is all about who can score the most breakaways, which isn’t quite the real deal, is it? It feels more like a non-fun, rage bait version of hockey. In my opinion, the concept WOC is an excellent game mode. If implemented in a manner that ensures fairness and provides a realistic simulation of a genuine hockey game, it would undoubtedly offer an enjoyable and exceptional hockey gaming experience.

I agree and we're investigating some speed issues. It's also possible there could be changes to XFs in the future that help with this particular way to score.
