Since March 18th AI wingmen and dmen are on the opposite side during play.

There is an issue. Want videos? Several? Or maybe an entire game? I think that would be better. I play this game as a trial to see how ea has evolved in the hockey world. I don’t know if you play a role in the development,  but the game is incomplete and I will try my best to get a hold of the developers myself. And those who approve for it to be sold as it is. I have made many videos to show the common flaws during game that makes the game frustrating that many might not talk about but it exists and it shouldn’t. When I do something it has to be the best. For whatever reason this nhl 21 to be released in the year of 2021 to be released is embarrassing. Don’t take offence, I’m not a hater. I just know why people drop the game. This is the reason I stopped buying ea hockey since 2005. I bought nhl 2015 by impulse because it was 15$. Played 10 games was appalled and put it down forever. When I compared  how nhl 2005 to nhl 2k5, ea hockey was a toy and unserious. Let’s let’s begin and help me help all of you because there are serious unfinished without soul things that are missing. When I have these videos with what is missing and what is bad to make this game play better, I’ll contact you and put it on YouTube. So you know I played nhl 2k5 for 15 years. That’s how good it is. And I know what is good, I don’t need to follow the stream of what is new and assume it’s good. The best in every way doesn’t change and that what’s and still is the best hockey. Only needs current graphics. So let me answer your questions, first want videos? Or an entire game to see player behaviour? All of a sudden since this squad battles my players switch positions as if it’s there assigned position. I know the difference between players helping one another and taking there position to players sitting on the wrong side. It takes away goal opportunities for me. Killed my game and lost because of this. I play all modes to complete tasks, but specifically it is squad battles. Look into my account, I’m sure you can see all my activity, starting the period the players are there positions, but soon after they sit on the wrong side. Right winger is left winger. I skate to wait for them to correct their positions but they don’t. There is a problem. Don’t you people play at ea? I know you make games but anyone play it? No conditions. Right handed players are going to the right side a lot more. Same vice versa. And they sit there. My centerman also might go the the other wing and act like a wingman all of a sudden. I’m in my zone and didn’t break out yet, they sit there, something is wrong, no injuries to any players. This is squad battles and rivals or hut challenge or rush. That’s what i play, but this issue is new and I only played squad battles this week and plan to play rivals today and tomorrow. If ea didn’t fix something as simple as being able to see ALL my previous sales in hut auction, or to fix the issue where auctions won isn’t showing in auction won but shows in auction lost, how can anyone have faith in ea and their programmers or their will to correct such issues? What about something as simple as adding a stat for your online team like shutout stat? I play all year and I’ll never know or see how many shutouts I got with my goalie? Such simple small and obvious things. Let’s be honest and not vicious, people need to lose there positions and or jobs. Especially the ones approving it for release. They didn’t do any testing before. I have proof evidence videos of a broken passing system. Completely flawed. It was approved is beyond me. Player switching is flawed broken incomplete. Errors like announcer saying is one one when it’s 2 - 0. These aren’t glitches. This is laziness. I never had any of these issues with nhl 2k5. And let’s not get into the announcers.. they repeat the same over and over. NHL 2k5 has more speech than 2021 ea. Awful. It’s embarrassing, I want a job with you guys and gals and make this right. I waited long enough in my life. And video replays... who approves of this I want to see his face and ask him questions. I don’t think they played a full game. They need to be fired. all that I am saying is educated truths and observations. Two types of people, people that put it out because it’s good enough and those that put it out until it’s the best. Well it’s not even good enough. When I help you and you are willing to help me help you, and then I die, at least I left my mark for the future of hockey and all those that love it, I would have paid full price for this game if it was better. But I have no faith in ea and any patching. I read somewhere from ea management, he doesn’t understand why people hate Ea. These are the reasons. Incompleteness. I never moved my toes legs body playing any game before in my life, SERIOUSLY. with nhl 2021 I can’t stop. A 6’3 bull charging to purposefully get a penalty, and the 5’9 player doesn’t budge. Skates away with the puck scores on me. This is not hockey, this is ea hockey, remember I’m not those haters, the truth must make people act and put their ego to the side. The game is a joke. People play yeah, sheep, they want what is new and let those things slide, but Many know it, they just don’t say it, I have no choice to say it because it’s too overpowering in the game play, no person in their right mind would accept this. I made my case with the video replays. I’m new to 2021, I didn’t know that there was speed boost, until the 67th day playing, why? In training there isn’t any training on dumping the puck by a player or a goalie. Why? People need to lose their jobs. Do you play this game? Yes or no it’s a question for you sir. Anything I do or did, I make notes for this game. I will want to speak to someone from ea. And that is no joke. So you can make my life easier by making that happen or I’ll do it myself. I have another question for you, have you ever created a chat with ea when you have an issue? Yes or no. Let me tell you, the chat stays at the bottom and is behind the keyboard from my iPhone and iPad. Since the first time I contacted you through chat and it’s still not corrected? THIS IS WHY PEOPLE HATE EA. something so simple for a company like ea. Create a chat with your iPhone iPad, go ahead. I am a perfectionist. I will admit. But there are things like this that just doesn’t make sense. If you cannot do this, give me the contact numbers so that I can help make these positive changes. If this hockey was amazing, more and more people would be playing it. I have 8 uncles and aunts on both sides of my family, they stopped buying ea hockey, friends I contacted to join me for 2021. They told me they won’t touch ea hockey, it’s a joke, bull****. Garbage, won’t touch it, they all told me they played from 2015 to 2020, my nephew told me it’s the exact same thing as 2020. I’m giving you the insider of what the closest people are telling me. Imagine the people I don’t know that are turned off by ea hockey, I am here with you because I want what is best for hockey, for the fans of hockey, for ea teams, but something is missing and changes need to be made, or just better leadership with better judgement. And that is a fact once playing this game, hut auction is a great concept. It’s a money grab, yes, but the game play is a joke, menu is slow, changes and obvious additions that aren’t there. I want to be that person to make people happy to play. This should be challenging but also fun, it should be challenging but also well balanced and consistent. A player shouldn’t become a wall or have this force field around them because the press the A button. It becomes unrealistic and back to ea hockey. I NEVER had so much frustration playing any game in my life, stress I feel. Passes that is incomplete when it was properly positioned, when I switch a player to intercept the puck and my player passes away the puck when I didn’t want that. These are easily fixed with proper programming. No one timers, how is there no one timers or broken at least one timers in the game? Delay on every pass. Making a pass there is a delay. On every single pass. Skating to boards to grab puck and make quick pass and the delay of passing the puck doesn’t leave the stick, opponent steals it and you get scored on. There should be one timer passes. Slap pass, simple. When pinned against the boards. It’s a real joke, who is behind this? There is no strategy, I actually have the solution to being pinned and to make this fun. There is no point no strategy to being pinned to boards play, someone is approving this. That’s the shocker. On the rush 2 on 1 you make cross crease pass, pass I’m saying, passing button okay... and the player shoots the puck to the net. Like a random shot. What is that? These aren’t glitches, the design is the glitch, I’m dealing with all this every game. I strongly suggest for ea to have their own option to test controller performance. No controller is the same. Some don’t go all the way to 100%. Checking is broken, many times I’m checking and or pushing shoving and I get no vibration, opponent doesn’t even get affected, either online or squad battles. This isn’t fun anymore, it transforms into frustration for the user. You or anyone cannot play competitively if the game is inconsistent. Goals you fairly score gets canceled by ref. Interference penalties that aren’t. Penalty shots when they are clearly not on a breakaway. And before when I said that a shield goes up on players that press A button. But also AI has this shield when we are both fighting for the puck. They don’t move at all. This is not normal. Easy goals should be removed. People that skate to the corner and do this all game to make cross the crease pass should strengthen the AI defence so that it encourages real hockey play. Ea created a culture that isn’t playing hockey. They are taking advantage of certain behaviours to score. Like glitches and flaws in design. Passing is broken like I cannot believe. Even on 100% passing assistant. It doesn’t make sense. Close passes, and doesn’t pass. Passing to the player right next to me that is alone without opponent near him, but the pass goes through him to go to the player that is in the same Lane as the pass all the way on the other side of ice where there is danger of being intercepted. Someone is approving this... it amazes how? HOW??? I learned how ea programmed the passing system, it’s the same pattern in all the games and passes. No glitch, it’s flaw. There are 4 players lined up like that game “connect 4”. Remember that board game or family game? So imagine 4 players lined up this way, I’m player one and I want to pass to player 2, right next to me. It won’t. It will pass to player 4. That’s the design, the design could be changed easily, send the pass to the player that is safer from danger, that is what the user would want. Switching/changing players, oh my gosh, the puck is accidentally dumped because I intercept a pass by switching players. The player that dumped or threw the puck is still the closest player to the puck, enemies around me, that player is deselected anyways... easy fix, player that passes that is still the closest to puck should stay active controlled by user. When player becomes AI he runs away from puck and enemy gets the puck, these are all easy fixes. I do not understand any of this. I have videos of me changing players to my dman, and the player that changes is the player literally in another zone away from the opponents stick I’m trying to poke. Incredible it’s not believable. That player it switched to wasn’t even in the same zone, the dman that was a stick poke away distance isn’t selected. Also, when I play I don’t play over the ice view. I play the view that is the default. So I don’t see what is behind me, so, when chasing the puck to avoid icing, I change\switch players, and amazingly it NEVER switches to the player nearest to the dumped puck. This is the design. Someone made this, and someone approved this. That’s amazing. It cannot be but obviously it is. These aren’t glitches, this is the design. Switching players is not completely off, but it’s not good enough to be approved as ready to go. Someone at ea doesn’t care or had o be done fast. Remember, I have hundreds of videos to show ea of everything I am taking about, I studied the game more than played to have fun. I want to play a hockey game that makes people say WHAT A HOCKEY! Enough of this baby stuff. Lack of stats, lack of options. Ea has always been weak with that, although did improve but really all this has been included 16 years ago. Changes need to be made. I probably know more about the game design than most people at ea. I’m in the replays studying understanding and being with disbelief. I’m here because I want ea hockey to be amazing. Things I am happy about which I am surprised that ea did well with, no cheap goals, good goaltending mechanics. Very impressed actually. I love the goals being made. But should be harder to score. Vasilevsky toty goalie is terrible and should be better. Honestly he sucks. Let’s in bad goals and he is slow even if his stats says 99 speed. Something is off. Training camp should be deeper and have more than what is there. Like I said I learned about speed boost at day 67 playing the game, that’s disgusting by ea. Others had an advantage over me and I always wondered if it’s my controller.  And I still did well. The style I played in nhl 2k5 was passing and one timer passing. That’s hockey. Skating down the board is mostly what I do now. That’s the design of the game. And that’s bad. What I learned before I knew about speed boost, is that passing was broken. 60% of passing would reach. Causing unbelievable frustration because thing would happen that shouldn’t have. But it was better hockey than with the boost. Passing to get to your opponents net is more hockey that to skate with one man to get to the opponents net. And or making one deke or several or doing this left right stick handle and making a pass or shot and scoring an easy goal. It’s a BIG flaw that a few hundred are loving because they mastered the ea way or view of hockey. But it’s NOT hockey. Goalie should be stronger. This is without a doubt. But passing should be the first thing before any other dekes or moves. I ask you play one game without speed burst and live on passes. Things like grabbing the puck pulling back on joystick before touching the opponents blue line to avoid offside. But the players still goes into the opponents zone causing the offside. That’s bad design. I was close enough to grab the puck and pulled back way before the blue line, the design should be the skaters stick to pull back before zone to avoid offside. I haven’t felt any difference between pressing pass button long or short. Puck doesn’t go faster. Only thing I noticed is that it shoots on the goalie up high when cross passing. It was a pass, why it shoots up high on goalie is beyond me. That’s what I noticed when pressing pass button long. When people are stick handling left or right and exposing their backs trying to get tripped. This should be softened, you created a cult of cheaters. They will not play hockey. They will intentionally play this way the entire game to make you trip them. When they go left to right stick handle, tripping them should be softer. They won’t be tripped. And can lose the puck being poked, forcing them tho play and making a move. I can make this game so much better in one year. It will shock the ones that love this, but it will be real hockey. Better hockey. One thing I have to say that is so frustrating, replays, no goal announcements, or after scoring a goal, you see who scored a goal in very very small letters the very moment the lineman drops the puck. I found this funny when I started playing the game. Things that are so simple. You score a goal, I don’t want to see the same celebration 10000 times I scored a goal, I press A to advance.  Bye bye replays? How brainless. Who approves of this? I truly want to see their face. And ask them, what was their thought process behind that? Fix, press A button after you score a goal to skip celebration, and straight into replay. Press A button again and end or skip replay. Why press A once and skip everything? It just doesn’t make sense to me. Replays. They are awful. Angles are terrible. Not fun AT ALL FOR ANY USER. we want to see our goals, top corners, we want to see the passing made before the goal. When we score, and it took 4 or 5 passes to get to that goal, programmer at ea should pick up on that and replay should show those passing plays to get to the goal. Replays from the corners are a joke, from behind the net also, behind the glass. All a joke, there are 2 or 3 types of replays I liked and thought was good enough. I thought maybe to include the best 3 replays and allow the user to skip celebration, and skip any of the three replay angles they want. People press aaaaaaaaa anyway to advance anyways, but when they want to see that goal, I could put more thought into this, but there are angles that satisfy the people that want to see their goals. When our goals get refused by ref, I like the replays, close to the goalie, and you can see properly the play. But good goals have bad choices of angles. I found it funny when the replay would slow down and you can’t see the puck and where it’s going, because you are on the side of the ice or behind the net watching your goal, and it’s in slow motion, but it’s in slow motion and at the moment you want to keep watching the slow moment when the puck crosses the line, it goes at normal speed. You don’t even see the puck at slow motion going in. This is just funny to me. Someone is making this, someone is approving this. This is the shocking part for me. The one making it isn’t that bad. But the leader that says yes I like it, he has to go in my opinion. Sorry. But I think he should be sorry to all the people pulling their hair out and avoiding the game. People love hockey, if it was well made they would play for hours and hours everyday throughout the week. But they are playing other games. Something has to change at ea hockey. I want to have a team of people at ea and stand before them and present the things that makes this game bad and incomplete. I bought this game only because my birth day date is 21. I thought 2021 would be great. But not. I do not want to wait another 15 years for a great hockey. I don’t think ea ever had a great hockey. Never had a good franchise mode, always weak on stats. Maybe I would say maybe 2002-2003. I can make this game be the best game ever. The game play can stay the same for many years. That foundation needs to be found. Because the design is lost or purposefully lost. I don’t know. But that foundation needs to be there and let the challenges in hut be the attraction. Making it fun to play and challenging and real and balanced and consistent. That has to be there. I look to see the past players I played against. Almost none are online playing. I check daily to see how strong they are into the game. I see them playing other games. Things I am offended by I have to say and it takes a lot to offend me, really, you can insult me all day long and won’t bother me at all.  But what bothers me is this message of positive play, ea is policing now? This is your focus? Ea needs to stop that new culture stuff. “People” are and should always be allowed to say what they want, when they want about anyone and anything on this planet. People have a right to hate girls and guys and be racist if they want too. It’s their right. I am against physical violence. But you can hate me and my race and my gender. But if you attack me I’ll defend myself. Ea needs to back off on that. I guarantee you it turns people off. People are free to hate and love what they want. It’s NOT EA’s business. EA ‘s business is the flaws I’m presenting you with today. That should be your focus. FINAL. nothing you can say can beat that. If I hated green people your message made me like them all of a sudden? If I cursed at them and they cursed at me? Who is ea to jump in? There is the block button, SOLVED. to say I know where you live and I will hurt cause bodily harm, this is where the person should be looked at and punished but not suspended. And if the user feels threatened to go to police. Ea should focus on gaming. Not policing. The culture at ea at the highest level is obviously the issue. Your policy should be to protect freedom. Final. Like one another, compete, to say you are against it doesn’t change anything. And policing won’t make you more liked in the world. It shows how you want to be liked. That’s weak. It’s better say, if you hate someone, for anything reason, don’t have to say race and gender, just say for any reason, try to hold your tung, keep it clean even when we can understand competing can be intense. That’s, it. Done. Let’s play. I guarantee that many of you there at ea don’t live by this view. No one likes everyone. That’s your right. Like this is the right of your user. And side note here, if the game didn’t have so many flaws, if the game wasn’t frustrating, the levels of stress and anxiety would be way low. So that would cause less people to get on other peoples skin. Competition is like that, and that’s why I am here, to make the game better. Stronger, with more returning power. Because it’s solid. Things I want to say that I really like it’s line changes, very pleased with hut line changes, that should be the default for as long as ea make hockey. It’s visual, it’s quick it’s simple it’s easy. That’s the first time I ever saw ea have good simple easy line changes. I never saw this ever from ea. Line error changes, fill empty line, it was long and plain stupid. Once again nhl 2k5 hit it on the nose. Perfect. Not visual but perfect. Ea did well here. I  bought ea 2021 nhl game to play franchise. I actually created every single almost every single player they have as master icon player. I put so much time,  then I was curious about hut. I put a week alone in just creating players like 80+ players. But I didn’t like the delay in the menu in franchise. Stats are weak, there is no visiting passes games results. So again franchise failed. In hut same thing, stats are practically empty, I play my fourth line as much as my first line. I want to be able to see their avg ice time in stats, I want to see the players last 10 game stats when I go into their card. It’s nice to see their attributes. But what about their stats? These aren’t only easy, but it’s obvious to have in a game. ESPECIALLY in 2021. Thank you for listening, and I might have sounded intense, but I’m actually a big hearted loving person. I don’t like to see such terrible effort for things that are obvious. A winner won’t sleep until they win. A loser just doesn’t care. And I look at the game and I see loser. No one there cares. And this should be on the CEO’s head and managers. I won’t sleep until this game is corrected. If you can Get me contact infos it would be nice if not I’ll do it myself. If you are thinking who is this guy? I’m the guy that studied and tested your game for close to 4 months daily most of the day. I played less than to understanding it. I observed every detail while finding solutions for all. What is missing and what is badly designed I call neglect more than me making the game better because of the obvious affects on game play performance. Speaking of your positive play, let’s start with the game. I’m here to make this game positive. I can give you my info and you can have managers, ceo, call me. We can go on video calls and I’ll make my case to present to a group. If 2022 is in the works, it should start now with better leadership by someone that has better understanding of what a user wants. Thanks for listening, sorry to overwhelm you.
