Community ManagerSorry about that. You're right about changing positions.
While you might get teammates faster, are you including having to back out numerous times when someone trolls? It might not be like that with less than 100 people playing since most everyone would be pretty hardcore and just looking to play a good game, but it often took me 10 - 15 minutes to get a game started due to people backing out.
That's a good idea about goalies. A lot of people don't want to play against an AI goalie when your team has a human one.
@EA_Aljo
The last few years there was no backing out because exactly that, hardcore players just looking to game.
When NHL15 on PS3 was the latest game in the series, yeah there was some backing out at times for sure. Sometimes it was because of a troll, and sometimes because players didn't get the position they wanted. This year I find a lot of players, myself included, backing out quite a bit because they don't want to be launched into a 3v2 or 4v3 game, or only 1 goalie joins with 30 seconds left. (this is on PS5 where the population is always low, even evenings/weekends). Full 6v6 games are few and far between, usually happy to settle for a 4v4 with 2 CPU per side (which never finishes 4v4, but that's a separate issue lol).
Both systems have their strengths and weaknesses, and I think we should have them both so players can choose.
But ya there's positives and negatives with both,
