Is it just me, (hmm).. Or does the 1timers feel so much better in this game?
I know we talking about timing against your 1timers, but I feel there's some kinda timing in this game, that makes your 1timers feel much more authentic.. When it click, it really click.
One time goals is a bit of an issue, but if defended against they shouldn't happen all that much. I personally haven't had an issue with them but I've seen it discussed so it must be somewhat over powering.

I dunno, from the limited playing I have done (maybe 3 hours) I don't see an issue. I only played 6's club and offline. There should be the ability to make these plays. You can definitely stop them as well.

But it's not directly the 1timer goals im talking about, more the feeling when you fire them of, goal or not.. But in generally the shooting in this game feels so much better. More feeling in the shots.
As a franchise mode player (and BAP this year with all the changes) the game is playing great. The CPU AI players are much better and there is no more of the ping pong passing. I'm having a blast so far with actual gameplay.
I played this game finally and I'm enjoying myself on full sim, superstar mode it's the best hockey I've ever played. I did make a few tweaks to penalty sliders, and a few others. Overall I am enjoying the product so far.
I had the same feeling of 2 thirds .... then again the error of the game: inactivity of the defender. you will see the error in nhl19 and nhl20. it is the same error and the setting has no effect. each time you uninstall the game then the game works properly for about 2 thirds .... then it is no longer possible not to lose against the CPU. I also wrote on EA support, but no answer. in any case, send the settings. Thanks

yes. ping pong passes are gone. it is a great EA!.....
unfortunately the CPU d-mans are not shooting from the point now. never. there is a huge step back from nhl20 EA!...

I haven't had any crashing issues but I haven't played the game all that much. So I guess that might be helpful. Hopefully EA can get this game in a stable state. Because it really is a good game, not great but good. It's not a 9 like GameSpot gave it, but it's not a 6 either as IGN rated it. It's close to the 7.5 Game Informer gave it. In my opinion anyway.
For offline on superstar difficulty, does the AI utilize dekes and make nicer passing plays to play offensively now? I always felt the AI would do the ping pong passing from 20 to make up for their low iq. How do they generate scoring chances? My fear was that once they removed the ping pong passing that superstar would be too easy to beat.
Or do they have the typical "hey i know the input on your controller so the moment you go to poke I'll pass it" nonsense?

I haven't played enough to say for sure, they're smarter but I can't fully say with 100% certainty.
I will give one example of a good AI play, it was a 4-3 game with a 6 on 4 CPU man advantage (4-3 game with under a minute left and they had a power play), and they won the face-off to the point, the point man passed it to the man in the slot who proceeded to pass it to the guy open for a one timer and it was in the back of the net real quickly. I paid for my penalty and I paid for losing the face-off.
I ended up winning in the 3 on 3 overtime on a breakaway goal once I sprung Pastrnak free and stuffed it in on the forehand backhand move as the goalie was sliding the other way for some reason.
I still need to fine tune some sliders but overall I'm enjoying the experience.
...I ended up winning in the 3 on 3 overtime on a breakaway goal once I sprung Pastrnak free and stuffed it in on the forehand backhand move as the goalie was sliding the other way for some reason...
Umm for some reason? Because that move has worked 100% of the time on AI goalies since the beginning of time?

Of all the things I said you picked on that? Why am I not surprised though? Some people love focusing on the negative. And also if we're being fair, they've gotten better at defending it. That time was the one time where the goalie misplayed it and I took advantage of it. All other times I have had it the goalie had been good at defending it.
You guys desperately need to patch in the shot count onto the score board. Like why isn’t it there? I’ve never seen any broadcast that didn’t show the shots.
Also....can I get a little more than a split second to custom celly after scoring?

The time to celly is really short this year. Also, there’s a lot of things the scorebug needs. Shots, playoffs series score, aggregate score for CHL playoff round 2nd legs. For how much freedom not having NBC was supposed to give, they certainly haven’t utilized it at all.

Usually, I am not a huge fan of criticism on this game, but this one is fair. The scorebar definitely could use some more work. And I don't even need the scorebar to track shots all the time since I am playing so seeing the shots all the time doesn't matter. But it would be nice to see in between plays relevant stats such as shots, scoring chances, hits, penalty minutes, etc. depending on the context of the game being played.
Also to take it one step farther and I think this goes more to what @Tier1SOFOperator was saying, they ned to add an area that during a playoff series/round robin situation what it would say something along the lines of "[Team] leads series 3-1]" or something along those lines. God knows they have the space to add things like this to their graphic.
I think goalies need a tiny buff (maybe 5-10% more) in goalie save reaction time or a a 15% boost in speed. If we have to be at the top of the crease to stop certain shots, getting there as slowly as needed is difficult. The beta was definitely faster in net. I feel a lot slower in actual game.

1. this scoreboard is absolutely awful . it need some opacity level + move to up + add smaller version (on my 80"qled it is still too big)
2. this scoreboard is absolutely usesfull if stats are not viewed depending on the context...
3. who did create this scoreboard is not watching tv never

Not sure why they haven't at all budged on this. The new scoreboard was universally panned eons ago. It feels like they put it there and kept it there just so they can show off scoreboard animations. Most people just want their view not to be obstructed.

Would be fun to buy other equipment to your goalie then just the mask too, I like to be perfectionist when it comes to the look of my goalies. 😏
