NHL 21 - hint for EA
We, the community of NHL20, know how the game works. There are plenty of evidence that game algorithm dictates a scenario for the game. How it works you can read in 4-5 threads here. EA, Aljo and the...

Community ManagerIt's not a side effect. It simply does not exist. The game does not pick and choose the winner and then make the game play out accordingly. That's not the kind of game we would want to play ourselves as well. It would mean you weren't in control of the outcome of games and could just put down your controller to let it play out however the computer wants. It's absolutely not true though. The outcome of games is decided by the inputs from the humans holding the controllers, the ratings of the players on the ice and the strategies being used.
Ok... 🙂 they may be not as good friends of yours as you may think 😃
So many topics about that on reddit, fb groups, here and there.

Yes. There are many topics on this over the years. No matter how many times we say it's not true, people still believe it is. The thing is, if people stopped blaming the game for the outcome of their games and looked at what they can do to improve their own play instead, they'd probably see a lot more games end in their favor 😉
"Stop blaming the game for the outcome of their games" seems like an easy excuse not to get into this trouble field from our point of view.
As I investigated all of the posting from last few months here, you have clearly an explanation of the problem. It occurs when there's significant overall difference in line rates. I noticed that as well - especially when I play with opponents with almost the same rates as mine, but either 4 D line is way weaker than the rest, or goalie is way worse than mine (mine is 97 Kuemper, but he seemed to be doing way worse than 91 Anderson on the other end) 🙂 😬 My team just seem a lot slower than way worse lines of the opponent. When I play with a very similar team it's almost equal in speed, chances, save %, everything seems to be in my hand when I play and the most important thing THE GAME IS FUN. I dig it even when I lose. It happens every time. Regularly. Coincidence? 🤔

Yes. It's a coincidence. There is nothing built into the game that is giving you all your wins by scripting the outcome.
- Hello
unfortunately I have to disagree.
I only play HUT offline mode.
I also noticed it, as already reported in the forum or support.
Admins or support staff always put it on the player who operates the controller.
But what can I do for it if
- my players don't run or sprint really fast, although their fitness is still green. And my players have speed 90-99 + Syngergie SP
- when my teammates don't accept passports
- if my players walk over the puck and simply leave it, so that the opponent gets the puck
my teammates cannot always play with thinking
- my goalkeeper has the puck, but does not want to pass my player, although there is no opponent nearby
etc etc
EA Sports don't sell or think their users are stupidI'm not sure I fully understand. But yeah, they're in the point that every problem we're pointing out here is that we lack skills or can't play.
