Hello All!
First, great gameplay, it is smooth and accurate. The only thing I am noticing is that the goalies are wicked easy to pull out of the net for those "glitch goals" when joystick is pulled back goalie goes on his butt 9/10 over the shoulder and the goalie pulled out of the net. Recommendation would be to make the goalie extremely hard to beat and then make adjustments accordingly throughout the first month based on feedback and your developer's opinions. Make them a little bigger and faster and not so timid to come out of the net (discipline) I've seen the goalie come out when there is no need to challenge the shooter when the goalie has defenders in and around the crease.
Secondly, on penalty shots, if a player crashes the boards and proceeds to do a U shaped wideout move that shouldn't be a valid penalty shot on 3's or on any type of penalty shot, it's not a real move, the computer goalie comes all the way out all the time and they never get the save. You can hug the boards on the penalty shot that should automatically cancel the shot.
Third, When entering the opposing player's zone if they proceed to accidentally pass the puck back into their zone and a player on the other team happens to be there, it shouldn't be an icing since the opposing team had control of the puck and they are ones who made the oopsies.
Fourth, When the computer D or Wing has a penalty shot give the player control to either manually shoot it (not control him) or give a suggestion for the computer to follow like a wheel menu for them to either try to snipe it, slap shot it, or freestyle (it gives more realistic capability).
Fith, checking after whistles should be a thing still to bring "the chirp into gameplay" too much though should result in a penalty.
Sixth, and final. WHEN OPPOSING TEAMS RAGG THE PUCK AKA HOLD ONTO THE PUCK THEY SHOULD BE PENALIZED GIVE A GRACE WINDOW OF MAYBE 3-10 SECONDS (THAT'S A LONG TIME) IF THEY AREN'T MOVING THE PUCK AROUND AND JUST SKATING BEHIND THEIR NET. (sorry for caps) but this is truly annoying and frustrating because powerforwards can't keep up with speedy snipers or grinders, it's just not possible and therefore when it's 5-4 and 2 mins left in the 3rd some people ragg the puck. If you can't make penalties happen then maybe time them out for 10 minutes from playing in the next game.
Question:
How come you guys didn't go back to the NHL 14 when you could add attributes to your player like the point system and had to maintain an A+ to gain more points etc? That was a really good idea.
Anyways,
good game overall, like the experience and the colorful display.
