There are still flashing visual artifacts and glitches on the ice surface.  For instance, the centre red line will appear about 10 times the width and will be flashing quickly.  It is extremely annoying and most likely causes seizures with people with epilepsy.  This need to be fix ASAP! 

A couple of more things...

The shadow resolution is too low a lot of times and makes the shadows pixelated and look bad. 

The LOD system for player hair is poor.  When I play in classic cam and the camera is zoomed out, my player's skullet does not render properly and he looks like the toxic avenger or a mutant.  Ridiculous.

Seriously, get your act together with the Frostbite Engine.  This is embarrassing.

  • LOD issues abound. For some reason, crowd LODs are set to low, even in camera shots that should trigger a higher-detail model. The player hair has never looked good during fights, but with the new engine I figured it would be fixed. Guess not.

    Setting to game speed 4 is a temp hack to fix the pulsating jersey. But for this to happen on default sim speed is utterly rubbish. Try putting the speed to 1 and see what happens. It's like no one actually played the PS5 version offline at all! This nonsense, no stick penalties...
