Hello EA hockey family
Since we are always wishing what they could add to NHL 19, how about we chat about what could be in NHL 19. These are just my opinions because I play NHL 18 over 40 hours a week so please don’t rip me over my speculation comments.
1. The winter classic or 5 man team celebrations. We have been asking for both for way to long now and I honestly feel at least one of them will make it on NHL 19
2. I also feel like this will be the year we’re we can fire/hire coaches in franchise mode.
3. GM Connected. I couldn’t care less about this mode because all I play is offline but I know a lot of you have been asking for it for a long time. There could be a chance it makes it onto NHL 19
4. I have a feeling they will spend a little more time in playoff mode. Things are still missing like for instance nothing about the series record or game number is listed in the scorebar during gameplay, it makes it boring and unrealistic during gameplay.
Well thats all I have for now.
Thank you EA for adding out of town scores on season mode during gameplay. That was really nice of you. It makes it so much more realistic and you get more into the game.
Can’t wait until NHL 19!!!
Back to NHL 18!!!

Oh and a huge one, cant believe they missed it this year...3v3 EASHL playoffs...that was a bummer
Never bring back attributes for online play...in fact ....make all the players overalls average...say...70/75 overall ....so you really have to work to get goals.
I remember how smooth the game was back in the boosts/ attributes days...the first week or so...before players boosted and got all the game breaking/physic breaking ...attributes.
There's that guy you all love to hate on Youtube (shall remain nameless) who post videos all the time and he never shows lag..mayby once.
I've seen a couple of videos on NHL 18 lag,nothing too drastic. Depends on where you are I guess.
I'm what southwestern ontario..hour from London hour and bit from Toronto,so mayby the lag isnt bad in these parts I dunno.
They show up to work, sure, but I don't think they're working to improve the overall game, when things like holding up on the stick while a pass is coming your way still to this day doesn't shoot puck right away
When there's an empty net, CPU puck carrier is coming up the ice, and my entire team skates in the other direction
I mean where's the breaking point? When is enough enough? EA just give up if you're not going to put the time and effort in. Enough with the World Cup modes, and Threes modes; work on the GAME.
I don't mind threes, but unless I am playing with my younger brother, I don't play it. I prefer franchise or play now with most people.
Yeah, I just mean EA's decorating a dilapidated, defunct building, adding fluff, instead of improving the foundation and whole, so to speak.
You're so right. They've been developing this game for almost 30 years and one of the hottest topics is puck pickups... It's absurd, it's laughable enough to bring a tear to your eye, then you realize that you're not laughing anymore.
I couldn't agree more.
I'd really want to like the game and with all the winter olympic hockey and the NHL trading deadline-frenzy going on I decided to give it another try - just to stop playing after the first period due to all the issues that plaque the game since many years.
Frustration.
Yeah, there's some missed pick ups. We all know that, but to say that after almost 30 years it's laughable is asinine. Look at how technical pick ups are. Look at how the huge majority of pucks are picked up in a game and actually watch how they pick them up. You pay attention to the pucks they miss, but you fail to pay attention to the ones they don't. Which is far and above the amount that they miss. Now, compare that to Intellivision hockey. Atari hockey, Ice Hockey on Nintendo, Blades of Steel, etc. Look at the pick ups for those games and compare it to now. If you want arcade hockey, that's awesome. There's nothing wrong with that. If you want more realistic hockey, give credit where it's due. For sure NHL 18 doesn't have perfect pick ups, but do you really want something so unrealistic as a puck passed in the general vicinity of a player that gets picked up regardless of where their feet, hands and body are oriented or would you rather have players pick up pucks based on the limitations of the human body, realistic physics and player ratings?
Also, you seem to think that after almost 30 years it should be a piece of cake to make the game how you want it. Times change. Developers are constantly learning new technology. It's constant re-educating yourself. It's constant learning new technology. If it were as easy as you're implying everyone would be doing it and there'd be more than a couple hockey games on the market.
After 30 years they should be perfect!
Look at how far CGI has come in the last 10-15 years....the more they learn new technology the better and more realistic things have gotten
Look at how far motion capture has come in the last 10-15 years

You mean how spiderman goalies can defy human limitations and make saves now? Wasn't Ben the one that was talking about passes not going where people want them to go because of (something we have nooooo control over) the slightest angle changes of a skaters feet and or upper torso
