NHL 27 World Of Chel
First, I want to say that I appreciate the work that goes into NHL 27 and the effort the development team puts into improving the game. I’m sharing this feedback because I genuinely enjoy NHL and World of Chel and want to see the gameplay become the best it can be.
I’ve organized my feedback into different sections so that each topic is easier to understand.
Offense - This year in 27 offense feels like its been downgraded a little bit just seems really hard to even crash the net or win a 1 on 1 without a desense man standing only into the goalie to get a pick or easy poke. the puck is lost way to easily in entering the zone and close around the net. even when you try to shoot close or far it gets poked not many times to get shot off and when you do goalies almost save them all even when in postion. on 1 on 1 the d man easily pokes or stick lifts from far out like it does not take much to take a puck away from a forward which makes defense way too easy it makes the competive play not so competive because a new player could play unreal vs a exprinced one. i really tought 26 forward was good but with a balnce too it this year feels like you gave d man and goalies everything and forwards not much to work with.
Breakways - its hard to shoot sometimes on close in goalies as you loose it on pad easily or get no shot animation at all... you just get no shot and it randomly falls of your stick like when i wanna go backhand it shoots normal.. and when i wanna move left to right then i randomly loose it
Defense - Way to overpowered right now Easy pickoffs easy stick lifts easy pokes you can spam pokes and stick lifts and win 95 percent of it. it takes no effort to do so even for a new defenseman which makes it not fun for forwards because there no way of it being balanced cause right now goalies and defense man have all the hype no forwards got any love. i think defense needs to be tweaked a bit and so does forward it needs to be balanced not one sided.
Goalies - Goalie is way to easy. goalies are making so many saves when there not in postion it takes not much skill to play goalie all you do is sit middle and make almost everysave it makes it tough because most forwards shots are either blocked or no animation at all for forward. there barley any snipes or good plays and most time goalies get the most unreal save animations when there not in postion they can just sit middle and make all saves.
Puck Control & Possession - This is a big problem there is no way of holding possesion without getting stick lifted , poke cheked or losing it on nothing or barley someone. the puck control and posession needs to be bumped up cause it feels like pin ball out there around the net and entering the zone. and receving pass the games so slow your guy does not react to puck pass in front of net..
Physical Play - This is another thing they made it where you get pens now after a pass and made it where there really no chance to hit most times they made it harder which is nice but still not balnced cause all people have to do is spam poke or stick lifts so people found another easy way without being able to spam hits it should be way with stick lifts and poke checks.
Player builds - this one is a big issue a 5'7 219 or 5'7 160 has same speed as 6'4 219 which is not balnced at all it needs to be diffrent speeds for example 5'7 90 speed 5'11 - 6'2 89 speed and 6'3 - 6'5 88 speed and 6'6 - 6'9 87 speed like that because that makes a true balanced area to make people decide what they want its unfair for big builds to have same speed as small guy at that point your building a meta everyone is playing 6'3 219 legit...
Skating & Player Movement - This is nice but like i said above it comes in with player builds it really doesnt matter now because no matter the height your all the same speed it needs to be changed this year.
Battle Pass - idk how i feel about this its cool concept but hockey is a intense game making us have to grind public games when most comp players wanna do scrims and drafts we do not enjoy pubs always so making us have to buy points for are guy that we dont even get full upgrade is not fun because it kinda makes the advange unfair for people who play leagues and comp tourneys because we wont have time to grind but others can just buy the pass just not right. i think everything needs to go back to getting everything day 1 and spend time having more new things like new traits in a bttle pass make 30 plus traits so everyone has to grind for something they want to add to there guys make it like that so the games not slow at least you know?

Thank you for taking the time to read through my feedback. I’m sharing this because I genuinely care about NHL and World of Chel and want to see the game continue to improve.
I know that not every suggestion will be possible to implement, and I understand that game development involves a lot of balancing and technical limitations. My goal isn’t to say that everything is wrong with the game, but to point out the areas where I believe improvements could make a meaningful difference. EA_Aljo EA_Dmitryi
