Definitely would like to see better animation, gameplay animation; from "tripping" penalties when they do not fall or even body contact, you hit an AI and he falls to the ground but you cannot get the puck and they get up and keep skating with it.
I understand hockey is a tough game to recreate in a video game, but there is lots of areas for improvement.
would also like to see realistic game atmosphere, better intros, and for sure goal celebrations, the ones they have are fine, but its not real. I want to see all 5 skaters celebrate together and then do the flyby. and overtime wins, do they watch hockey? why does it go to a cutscene of the goalie and then the other bench, thats not what happens in hockey games, would like to see the bench clear and team celebration.
just some thoughts! wondering if others feel the same.
I have always wanted EA to monetize NHL better, then it hit me. ”Be a beaty”. Imagine hundreds of customizations you can unlock by playing or simply by buying, across EASHL and other modes!
I doubt that the EA team will ever read this but well.. what do I know anyway!
First, thank you very much EA for making this game (best game ever whatever)! I've been playing NHL since the first one on Super Nintendo & Sega and it's always been my favorite.. BUT! Please EA, could you explain to me why some of the fun features that the game used to have, like custom music playlist or (just for laugh) breaking the glasses with a hard shot, sending a player on the bench with a hit... are disappearing? Ok such things are only "details" but why the heck did you removed em? Is it taking too much space in the game? Were they just old errors or mistakes? Are they new improvements? Sorry but it just don't make sens to me why such details that used to make the game more realistic or simply giving more abilities are now gone!? Why taking steps back?
Anyway, there are tons of other improvements that were already discussed but I don't think these exemples are a "challenge" for the EA team...
Hello guys! What we see?Whole one year NHL development team was creating "open air yard hockey mode"?? For what? Last 18 they made 3x3 mode, for what, for fun? Thisfun is to two-three times to play. 3x3 could be included in training mode in fact. It will be more fun if they made adjustible this mode - for example you can adjust numbers of players - like in soccer 11x11!! Or what you like 20x20 etc. It will be REALLY FUN!!!!
I repeat my mind again. Where is for example World Cup mode? I really don't uderstand. We have national teams accessible, but we don't have any normal mode to play them. If EA have any problems with any license to color national teams in real uniform - really, I don't care about is label on shirt or there's not. Call it not World Cup, call it Fantasy Cup, Winners Cup, Tour, Country CUp etc. This mode must be in default in sport game!
I heard, that the one of reason we have not WC mode is - for ex in FIFA WC going one of 4 years. Ok, make Olympic Mode, call it not "olympic" if you affraid about any license.
Next NHL20 they're going to make "folk free skating on ice arena" where we will be have a fun in the game every weekend take our friends, girlfriends, little sister-brother, mom-dad-grandmo & grandpa (and...... even PETS!!! ), going to ice arena, buy tickets, choosing skates we wanna to skate & free skate?? For our money we wait & pay every year for next NHL we have some strange new features not about realistic sport game (again - where's WC??).
I just wanna ask - who invent this?? Testers? Developers? It looks like they're not playing NHL themselves. For what this forum?

They have done the World Cup of Hockey when it was going to be that season. They only do the NHL's version because they don't have to pay the same price or more to get the licenses. Also I believe the games were played on normal sized rinks.

I think I saw somewhere that the improvements to movement and the animation fluidity helped with the loose puck problem so here is hoping that issue where your opponent behind you grabs the puck that is in front of you ceases to exist, or at least is less prominent.
Not only that but hopefully it fixes the "Awkward" Shots.
A lot of the cut scenes between whistles before the game after the game are pretty bland. They have improved a little bit with the announcers, but a lot more can be added.
Please Add The Following Jerseys To NHL 19 At Launch and HUT.
2017 100 Classic Jerseys For Montreal Canadiens And Ottawa Senators.
2018 Winter Classic Jerseys For New York Rangers And Buffalo Sabres.
2018 Stadium Series Jerseys For Toronto Maple Leafs And Washington Capitals.
And The New Alternate Jerseys For Philadelphia Flyers, Carolina Hurricanes, And Arizona Coyotes.
When in the player movement page (especially when signing free agents) we need to be able to sort alphabetically by last name rather than just having players listed by overall. For those who try to find a specific free agent rather than signing the best available the way it is set up now is useless.
Please fix it!
It would be nice if you'd fix it with a patch in 2018, too!
Is there a way to fix the bug that has persisted for many iterations of the game whereby a trade in season mode is denied because one of the teams will have less than two playable goalies, even when no goalie is part of the transaction?
The only way to get around it now seems to be to release players to free agency from the offending team, but this is not ideal.
Also you need to get rid of roster limits on transactions. One for one trades get denied in season mode because one team or the other will end up over or under the roster limit. This is likely due to injured players being counted on the roster in the transaction page but not on the actual roster.
If a trade causes a team to be over the limit, much like an injured player returning, send the message that the roster needs to be adjusted to comply. Done.
For them to stop selling NHL at a AAA pricepoint. NHL is following a year behind NBA Live in everything they do, the new NHL "world of chel" mode was literally in NBA last year as "The One". That game sells for $40 at launch and honestly its a much more polished, and in depth game.

Need to be able to play on a friend's franchise team online.
1.GM Connected Mode - far and away the best the series has ever had, even if it was glitchy.
2.Revamped Be a Pro/Story Mode - this mode has been dog shirt for awhile now.
3.More robust Franchise mode - more accurate waivers system, better scouting, better developing, ability to hire/fire coaches, scouts, trainers.
4.Mobile app - every other EA sports game has a mobile app except NHL. What's the deal?

During the all-star game, it is. But I think it would get repetitive after awhile.
EA PLEASE add customizable tournaments!!!
2) And please add the ability to control your teammates in Be A Pro mode.
Thank you love the game!!
