I know not all of you seemed to enjoy it(maybe it was snoop), but I really liked the effort of bringing in a guest announcer, felt more alive and fresh for a while.
I hope we can get something similar this year, with some interesting personality.
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.
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.
They promoted dropping the NBC license as something that would free up their creativity...well, we’re waiting haha! Small gripe I know, but 2k (insert sport here) always has a special place in hearts because they were so great at adding immersive “little things” to their sports games. It’s the little things that can end up providing some of the most long-lasting immersive qualities of a sports game.
I'd be happy with manually tallying the score on a notepad if players were not able to skate around backwards, rag the puck, make 100 foot tape to tape backhand passes, etc
This is extremely trivial in comparison with other stuff going on, but one of the load screen talks about some event and how there's "26 days days" to it...at least was yesterday. So yeah, remove the extra 'days' maybe? (PS4)
Goalies need a buff and A LOT more than 10% @HoodHoppers . I know I was very vocal last year about outplaying teams and not scoring, and I'm happy great plays are being rewarded, but even teams that are equal are just being left out to dry by goalies that are absolutely stupid.
We've outscored out opponents 48-18 in 9 games. Feels good to win, but this is wholly unrealistic and I hope they tune the goalies up. A lot up.
YIKES. Imagine that being an overtime winner.
One-timers need a slight nerf.
Goalies need a huge buff.
D-Men Pass Intercepts needs a slight buff.
F-WD Pass Intercepts needs a slight nerf.
Interference penalties need a slight buff.
D-zone charging needs a slight buff.
Pokes and DSS is perfect (If people are whining about this, pass more).
AI NEEDS A HUGE NERF (They are insanely aggressive and generally unstoppable, as a team with more AI than the other team is at a huge disadvantage).
Check out this play. Guess who is supposed to get a penalty here for taking someone's legs out, but doesn't, while another interference play does get called. Hmm.
Doubles Yikes.
Last, but not least for tonight. I'm really tired of these late hits man. This pass is off my stick and is received by my center while this dude charges from the blue line and nails me without consequence. These usually end up as injuries for me while I scramble on the ice for 10 seconds while the play comes back by way.
I also forgot to mention. The menus are faster but the pathways are still convoluted. Getting to the EASHL dressing room is as follows. > is a button click to go forward < is a button click to go back.
Main Menu > Tiles Menu > WoC Menu > Drops Dressing Room(You have to go to drops first) < Drops Main Menu < Online Main Menu > Clubs > Clubs Main Menu > Dressing Room = 8 Clicks just to get to the EASHL Dressing Room.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong and there's an easier way, but the screw up here seems to be that in the WoC menu with the challenges, they have "TWO" columns for Drops when one should be Club to take you right to the Club Main Menu.
I don't think anyone is saying this game is perfect, it isn't. But I do agree that some parts of this game are much improved. There is still work to do and no one would disagree with that I'd imagine.
But on the defensive end it is much improved, at least in my opinion playing offline and on a high difficulty. It's been a lot of fun.
I don't think anyone discounts your opinion, I think it's fairly valid. Hopefully with some of these videos EA can look at them and tune them to make the game more balanced. That would be ideal. Unfortunately I don't think we'll ever get the goaltending we crave. That's been an issue even at the peak for this franchise.

just for nextgen I definitely want a 4k menu and need 100 buttons on the main surface PIN UP thanks to which I will get to where I need it immediately. In this I imagine the right next gene from EA.
I would so much appreciate if we could se our passing attempt and not just our %, dosent say that much... I wanna know games I played well, which number of passes I did..
