no NHL no hockey
can someone explain to me why this game is so corrupt? you buy packs for 200$ dollars you get 82 to 86 clk you buy for 20000$ you get maybe one 90 clk like a slot machine in a casino either or !!!! you force people to buy cards to make cards 230 cards for one card well spend money we buy cards but what's the point if the game either crashes or you are beaten by a team that has 88 clk and I have 96 clk how is it possible that a card that has 86 speed can catch up with you !!!!!! and I have 99 speed ????? that's one thing another thing is why do you force people to make cards spend money when you can't put those cards in the team ?????? why ?? they can't because they don't have a salary or captains who are more expensive than a used car I have almost 200 thousand followers on tik tok when I turn on the live broadcast 14 thousand people are watching me I will make you a beautiful advertisement and I hope people will unite and not support this roulette and casino 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Takeaways
For the past couple of years. EA has adopted a reduction program. Lets take the daily reward to start with. Accomplishing the daily objectives, usually rewarded you with 3 items. Its now 1. Gold NHL cards in the past, were worth 800 to some being a 1000 coins in resale. They are now half of that. The weekly games. The rewards were passed out at the end of the week on Fridays. Better packs, as well as coins as well. Now its an XP 55 day marathon, with the same rewards over and over. The high value cards now being UT. And to finalize this. I will add this new concept of cap restrictions. No longer can you just choose the team you want to build. You are now restricted by the salary cap, and line combinations. In order to increase your cap. You have to combine different collection types to do so. And adding in the free Capt also hinders your team build. Like this past one, where in order to increase your AP, players had to be from the same team as the Capt. Personally. I dislike this manipulation, forcing me to build my team according to their new standards. Cant wait to see what they will diminish, or hinder come 27.
My Own Feedback On EA NHL
Been playing this game since PS1 days. It got me into the sport. This years game I can say has been pretty upsetting. Half the time the game freezes or lags offline. Then I’m forced to restart my consoles or app. Then there is the drop-in momentary freeze during intro that bugs me. Sadly I can’t play club because I don’t hade time to commit. Community lobbies and indoor games with gear on need to be a thing again. Not this outdoor arcade 6’s where it takes an an hour to find a game people just quit. Just sucks when you buy a game you think is gonna be worth it just to be disappointed. BAP had a great concept but the lack of presentation, no option to play a full junior career, and now the only being able to choose junior tournaments not allowing the custom roster I made or having the option to choose an NHL team made that mode boring. Franchise mode I play the most but we need better presentation especially for Stanley Cup finals. HUT. Cup Chase keeps having random freezes so I gave up on that. The Wildcard ranks take way too long. As for Ranked it’s not bad but the amount of ET opponents I get being in a PT zone makes it unplayable. I even have my ms set…. Gameplay: Goalies: Why does the left arm on the goalies look so warped during their stance? Never in my life have I seen this happen IRL or in previous games. They also have this issue of wanting to use their elbow during a glove save which I find interesting… Lastly on that goalies if they haven’t faced a shot or face like 1-2 weak ones shouldn’t lose pressure. I find it drains too quickly and often I get drained trying to protect my goalie from flopping around like he is in Timbits hockey. Players: Skating: I have noticed they skate with their skates pointed inwards like doing the pizza strategy when you go ski for the first time. This seems to have made them skate like they have to go take a dump but are holding it in until they make the washroom. Defensive strategy. Often I drive my opponents to the outside to close off the middle. For some reason my AI defender on opposite side likes to puck watch and leave out of position. I’m then chasing back to block the cross pass. Other times the AI will literally get in my way and slow me down. Some known issues is poke checking or stick lift don’t register. I had this happen against an opponent who was spamming his controller and kept getting the puck. Was quite annoying so I played the body just for them not to move an inch. Line changes: This happens 9/10 times and it bugs me. My D will change during a rush from my opponent and then I’m back checking to cover the mistake. Defensive players shouldn’t be changing unless the player is going towards the neutral zone and our team is in possession or it’s clear to do so. Also often my team will have full energy and the 4th line decides to come on against the opponents top line? Makes no sense to me. Next is AI IQ and positioning. Defence: If the puck is on the strong side the strong side winger should be sharking his check and if pucks in the corner down low he goes to help get possession. Strong side D does the same. Weak side players should not be going deep down low in the D-zone for the puck. Weak side D should be watching the net. Weak side winger should be watching the points and covering also. Often the D is this game play way to offensive and don’t have any defensive IQ while the wingers are always skating away making it difficult to find an outlet. Usually what happens is I then have to play against the neutral zone trap by the time I get the puck and have to reset our breakout to create space and outlets. Just so much wrong with the gameplay that it’s become frustrating and unplayable
EASHL FREE AGENTS
hey Devs, i have some ideas: instead of "Drop In" option, give me Free Agent option. this puts me in a large group of a position/group. Teams that are playing Club and looking to fill positions can search this group and see my stats (at least a 'glimpse' of my stats/rating/level). When a Team ID's me and wants me to join their game search, I get a quick glimpse of their team (team name/stats. doesn't have to be deep dive, can just be a 'quick view'). If we match, I join them in their room. MOST IMPORTANTLY: give me a 'Free Agent' rating, not unlike a Lyft/Uber driver score. If i'm a good team-player, helping teams win i'll get a good FA rating. If i'm Toxic, i won't. If a Team wants that player to 'join' their club, they can send a quick invite that doesn't require diving into menus to find their inbox. make Drop In be the outdoor games. I'm tired of playing the low-stakes outdoor rink games where people tend to superhero their game instead of working together. I get it: the outdoor rink is a great place to test out builds and new moves. But i'm looking for club games while my own club is offline. I want to get better in games that matter for people/teams who might need my help. _that's_ how you build community. also, let's get Influencers/streamers who make Great Content that helps people get better TIED INTO THE GAME: if Tutorials exist on 'how to play EASHL online' within the tutorial sections, i don't see them. In World Of Chel, _show_ the users How To Get Good with links/names/videos instead of trying to sell us something in HUT we're not buying. I know those streamers/influencers are out there, I've watched them and gotten a lot better. thanks for reading this! respect to the devs who've continually built on top of an impressive, immersive experience where i'm controlling 1 person in an arena of up to 12, working together for a common goal. this _is_ the only true sportsball online experience where everyone has a role. nba2k? madden?! nope, this is it. appreciate the work, hopeful for improvements in community areas of this game!
Rangers centennial jerseys are gone?
Sorry if this is old news, but I just noticed the Rangers’ blue centennial jerseys are no longer in the game. If anything should have been removed, it’s the navy blue alternates they stopped wearing. I wonder if it’s something the NHL mandated for some reason, or if EA just goofed up and got rid of the wrong one.
Trade Quest Collection Sets BUG
I had stored my untradeable 89 trade quest players in a Trade Quest Collection Sets. When I realised I wouldn’t be able to make the sets I returned them today to my collection. However they are now Bound and can’t be added to sets anymore… Am I the only one who experienced this?
