ea has definitely messed with gameplay in last useless update.
gameplay is once again even more unresponsive and slower than before.they will not mention on the update but i bet they have done something to make their customers even more **** on purpose. ICE TILT is blatant and slower HUT team keep up with team with TEAM WHEEL AND SPEED synergy like it's nothing. EA GET

I was really happy that the safe percentage for the first time feels real in this game because in NHL 15 and 16 I always had 87-88%. However, now my 91% is history. I´m very exited to see what happens tonight? I hpe this was just one of these glorious streaks.
Besides the goalie, my defense seems to be completely not interested to participate in this game. A few days ago I praised the improvement of the gameplay related to the goalies and the defenders. After last night it seems we`re back to NHL 16.
Maybe you just ran into better players?
no i knew i was better than the 3 players i played.. lost 1 won 2 but by very thin margin when i seriously should have won by 3 or more.
i'm a honest player and i accept losing and understand that there are whole lot of better players than me , but it has been a nightmare trying to skate with puck in offensive zone feeling like a shallow swimming pool rather than ice.
It's safe to admit I've never seen a game that as so much connection problem as the nhl series, but the main cause of all problems is lag.
You are not suppose to fly over everyone with TW and S by the way. The difference between 86 and 88 SPD is so small, a 5'6" player with 86 SPD is faster than a 6'0" player with 88 SPD. But lag will make your directional input late. So, slow start slow turn slow everything.
Same thing with rebounds. They might bounce a little bit everywhere but with lag you can't direct your player at it.
For you also? I was wondering what happened to my goalie performance in SP HUT. Used to play good but now it's just horrible. Thought it was just in my head
It went even more worse with the goalie of my U23 team Gibson the last two days. Before the update my regular Gibson had a safe percentage of 89% in 17 games. This changed since the update, now its 83% in 20 games. Gibson seems to be almost blind in one of the single player game and received 9 goals. I lost this game on "Pro" mode 5:9 against an AHL team. I never lost on Pro before and never received more than 3-4 goals. The intention of this game was to relax a little bit with my second U23 team but instead I expereinced the worst single player team ever (and I played more than 2000 games over the last two years).
I´m not a top player but quite experienced and not easy to beat. Usually I play D1 offline season games without any problems and last year I played most of the time in D2/D3 online or D1 as well offline. I still dont understand how this could happen on the "Pro" mode, this one is even easier than allstar, which I usually play and it was just an AHL team. Since the update I also lost two D1 offline games with my top 88+ team but this was on a different level against NHL teams.
Anyway, I`m quite worried about the development with the goalies. Both of my leading goalies totaly suck since the update and now it`s even possible that I loose on "Pro" against minor teams. What is going on with this game. With the first 100 games of NHL 17 I never rceived more than 4 goals and I was even able to achieve shotouts. Since update I receive 6,7 or even 9 goals against me on a regular base.
This doesn't work. I played a guy a few days ago that had full bars and Good. The lag was literally 5 seconds in between miliseconds of gameplay. Took a couple of minutes to get through 30 seconds of in game play and was hard as hell just to pause the game and quit. Definitely thought I was gonna get am L. I matched up with him moments later and the green bar still said good. Safe to say I didn't bother launching with him again.
Maybe because I'm located in Toronto, I assume I'm usually playing someone who is fairly local. I'd have to assume Toronto/Montreal probably have the largest amount of players per geographical region in the world.
But who knows.
Before someone comments "how can players have records of 100-10 then?" It's because those players have mastered the exploits.
AND they probably have a "favorable" internet connection/situation. It's still pretty hard to exploit your competition when you can't move your skater...LOL
I will say this. The 3rd period is fun but who the heck wants to play it after the first period. I can't even stomach more then half the games I play I play anymore simply choosing to stop playing after the first or even during it cause nothing much works properly if at all. Simply not much fun in the game anymore
