You know what really grinds my gears..?
Nothing has bothered me more over the years than when I am changing my lines or strategies during a stoppage in play and the little menu in the corner keeps disappearing every time the replay transitions. Is there a way to fix this in an update EA, because I know it's not an in-game setting. Erock1206, XSX
Hooking not being called
Context: EASHL club games, 3v3. I've been seeing this a bit, luckily a couple of instances happened at the end of a period so I was able to attempt to grab a replay. The first clip is blatant. The second one certainly looks like a hook to me, but I can't be 100% certain it's not an awkward checking animation ( although the third look from the back of the players really makes me thing it's a hook ). In neither case was a penalty called.
Edit Players In Franchise Mode
Hey EA! Thank you for the improvements that you have made to Franchise mode, so far I am enjoying it. One question I have is why don’t we have the ability to edit players on other teams anymore? Franchise mode would be so much more fun if we still had the creative freedom to edit players on other teams for things such as positions, player type, etc. An example of how I would use this is in my Franchise mode after doing a fantasy draft…. Columbus has 6 80+ overall LD, and no 80+ overall RD. In real life the coach would still play the 80+ LD on the right side, but in the game they have 2 of the LD scratched, and they are playing a 77 overall RD. If I could edit the players then I would add RD as their secondary position that way they wouldn’t be scratching their good players. This is a simple fix, can you please let us edit players again?
Game breaking exploits
If you score first, get possession of the puck, skate behind your net and pass the puck back and forth along the wall between 2 of your players and the AI can never stop it. You just run out the clock. Any difficulty. Also, if you are on a power play and winning already, you can just stand against the wall in your own zone and the AI will not move. Even if it’s at the end of the game and they are about to lose. The AI will make no attempt to regain possession of the puck. In my opinion, these exploits have got to be bugs. They are very obvious and really game ruining.

Would like to hear everyone's first impressions so far. I've only been on for like 5 minutes but have noticed some stuff worth mentioning. Main menu - It doesn't necessarily hurt the game but I feel having a second "enter mode" box underneath everything is an aesthetically odd choice. Removing that in a future patch would look slightly better. Loading - Cmooooooon like jeez, you ditched last gen, we should be able to load into stuff a lot faster than this :( Edit Player (Chel) - I have a new LG C3 (has the fancy stuff like VRR and G-Sync or whatever) with the right cables and connections and am on game mode but there is still so much stutter/blur when the player is whipping his head around when selecting faces. It's been like this for years now and while technically not a game breaker, it does show a lack of polish (or rather, it brings certain problems further into the spotlight). Holy cow just stand still! I'd like the ability to compare at least a few faces to each other instead of long-swapping between em. ALLOW ME TO IMPORT PREVIOUS YEAR'S CHARACTER DATA ALREADY!!!! (Same goes for custom teams). Holy lol, did the whole budget go into new gen hair? I got a pretty sick Shrek Prince Charming thing going here... Another zero effort trophy list; still retains the greatness trophy for breaking Gretzky's record which is beyond painful/boring for anyone who doesn't live for offline BaP. Remove the "Reset Player Class" popup - Yeah duh all my stats will reset when changing classes and stuff - Please give us the option to at least toggle never having to see it after the first time. Same bone-headed AI as before; honestly don't see any difference, especially on faceoffs
