This years game is really REALY great.
Yup...the drop in solo bug is a stinker...but besides that ...excellent work!!
I understand the frustration due to that...but let’s be honest
99.5 percent of us have no clue how hard it is to program and make a flawless game.
Most fun I’ve had since the introduction of EASHL.
Good work fellas!

  • Gotta agree here.

    Bugs aside, gameplay is great. For years I've been an offline first player cause I couldn't stand the skating and the fat man lag. Every EASHL game but one has played flawlessly.

    Good work indeed!

    I agree as well. I haven’t really encountered any issues with the gameplay this year. All I play is hut and it’s phenomenal. Some great work by the ea developers.
  • Yes thank you ear for not removing any of the exploit goals that have plagued the game for years. Thank you for never updating your servers so they are at least somewhat stable. Thank you for never getting the defensive aspect of the game right and for never giving an update to human goalies that makes the position playable.

    You’re the best EA, keep on keepin on
  • Also as far as “no one has any idea how hard it is to program and make a flawless game”

    They’ve been at this same franchise for over 20 years, they've had 5 years on the current gen to get it right and then never even attempt to fix the broken parts of the game, they just add new recycled features and modes to distract you from the fact that they are incompetent
  • Yes thank you ear for not removing any of the exploit goals that have plagued the game for years.

    Bacon Slapshot- Fixed.
    Short side wrister- Fixed.
    Backhand forehand- Much harder.

    I'm just gonna assume every goal on you is a glitch in your mind.

    Also, started BaP mode with goalie, and they seem to have added the traits from chel in there too, only it's more like a skill tree with braching traits. Looks interesting, I haven't really played with it too much yet. You still get EXP and train, so I am not sure how these are related yet. But might make playing BaP more meaningful this year around.

    I dunno, something like the skill tree might be interesting in EASHL as well? Or not?

    Yeah, the "Go-To" shots this year are not automatic anymore. However, I do agree there are still flaws in the game and it mostly has to do with the poor AI.

    Anyways, I am also having a great time this year. Obviously connection issues have been an issue in EASHL, but overall, the gameplay has been the best so far.

    Short side wrister can still be scored automatic lol Jesus Christ do you and catfish even play this game or do you literally just sit on the forums the whole time

  • And not for nothing, but the game is still trash on many many levels, the only real difference is the skating. The only way to go from the past couple years was up so for them to make the slightest improvement after 4 years of hot garbage doesn’t warrant a congratulations lol they still suck

    Not trying to be confrontational, but disagree with each of the above. I’m still having success with the bacon slap shot, although I don’t exploit it. The short side wrister is just as easy as always (guaranteed goals for me in Ones if l’m falling behind and need to catch up quickly) and I was actually just thinking last night how many more forehand backhand breakaway goals l been able to score this year. Having more trouble with it with the Sniper build, but flawless with the Playmaker. Just my 2 cents.

    I don't think One/threes (arcade) are being referred to here as the goalies are much much easier to score on in those modes. As I said in another thread, I don't believe forehand backhand is an exploit. That's the opponents fault for being out of position. Even so, I don't think it's as easy as years past. You can definitely still score on them, but I don't think it's automatic.

    I've actually never seen the Bacon Slapshot done to me nor have I tried it. It's a shame if people are constantly do that shot as I have watched videos and that is truly an exploit goal.
  • State the modes that you believe EA has nailed, because I can tell you, they have a TON of work to do still on the core game.

    They took some steps backward in creation, Legends aren't even available to be used in Franchise, and the menu navigation and responsiveness is, still after these years, complete and utter slow garbage. EA just smacks a new wallpaper on the screen, adds some animation flair that further slows down the menus, and alters the font. No excuse for how slow and laggy the main screens are for a damn 2018 game.

    They could've had a great game here. Skating overhaul was a push in the right direction, but how the hell can you take 10 steps back on things like menus, matchmaking, and modes. How can you not build on things like Be A Pro, where other sports games have made that mode amazing. I have never played HUT, but I hear it's a cash grab. Could have sacrificed Ones and Arcade Threes to make EASHL drops/clubs a memorable thing.

    I know how hard it is to work in Software Engineering. I'm a SE myself for a corporate entity and I get so fed up on the bugs because we go to great lengths to bug test and demo before we put a product out. So yeah, thanks, it could be better. Much, much, much, much, much, much better. Especially with what you charge for this game year after year.
  • Why did the over hype the 200 legends and you can’t even use them? For the people who bought this years solely for this, what do you say to that?
  • 99.5 percent of us have no clue how hard it is to program and make a flawless game.
    .

    I can understand this perspective if this was some indie company throwing out their first attempt. But this is EA, and this the what, 27th iteration of the game?

    I don't accept the difficulty of releasing a AAA game if you're going to deliver an AA game but charge AAA price. Furthermore, why has EA remained near silent about the issues we've brought to them about the problems of the game?

    EA needs to be held accountable for the crap job they have done with this game this year. Sorry, but the fantastic gameplay they introduced does not make up for the crap job they did the matchmaking system and CHEL in general.

  • Like someone else mentioned, one step forward and two steps back. Servers and matchmaking are worse, but skating is better. Hitting is borderline better, still would like to see better hits along the boards. The shoves are currently broken as well as stick lift. Poke checking is debatable

    Legends? Great. But not able to be used in franchise or in player management? How the hell do you mess that up?

    Customization in WOC? Great. But unlocking hockey bags is a crapshoot especially in club. I don’t need jerseys of other NHL teams or goalie equipment if I don’t play goalie

    Nah, we play EASHL and have a good time.

    I'm sure building a car from scratch is hard but if my car is broken I take it back or at least get it fixed. I don't wait a month later and say " well, mechanics is hard..."

    Why does everyone go straight to the broken car analogies? The game isn't broken just because it doesn't meet your standards. Matchmaking is currently flawed for EASHL, but there are people who are still getting into full games without issues. I stated before that AI have some issues as well, but it doesn't make the game unplayable, just frustrating.

    I've been a fan of this series for a long time, just like many of you. With what we have endured the last 5 years, to say that this is worse than 17 or 18 is just crazy to me.

    Crazy? What's crazy is I can play eashl in 18. I cannot in my brand new version of the game. To think this game isn't broken is insanity. I hear the Browns are looking for cheerleaders.
