5 man celly an Crowd Reaction after home team Scored Cameras back for nhl 27
EA_Aljo We need better camera shots for NHL 27 regarding the team celebrations, and the viewers need to see them again like in NHL 22. I have a video showing how it should finally be seen again in offline modes; online it can be short. And if possible, finally new-looking spectators; we've had the current ones since NHL 15, and they're already too outdated.Tunnel Walkouts for the other offline modes
EA_Aljo Could you please tell the devs that the tunnel walkouts for NHL 27 finally need to be added to the other offline modes as well 🙏Otherwise, that's a real waste of potential in that regard. And that they finally show the goalie introduction again, along with the tunnel walkouts in the pre-game intro. I also recorded a video showing how it could be shown. 👍
Goalie Control vs Goalie “Brain”
Hi EA, Quick UX suggestion from someone who actually tries to play goalie. Since the game already seems to be built in Visual Studio, can we add something very simple to the settings menu? Just a couple of checkboxes. Nothing fancy. ☐ Disable Goalie Brain ☐ Disable Any Goalie Thinking Whatsoever Here’s the idea: If I am controlling the goalie, then the goalie does not need opinions, instincts, second thoughts, auto-corrections, or “helpful” AI decisions. If I move left, that means left. Not “left unless the goalie AI thinks I’m wrong.” Not “left but slowly drift back to center because the system disagrees.” Just left. Right now the biggest issue isn’t realism — it’s that the game actively overrides player input. When a goal goes in, I don’t even know if it was my mistake or the goalie’s AI deciding to freelance. That makes playing goalie feel pointless and unrewarding. If I want an AI goalie, I’ll let the CPU control him. If I pick goalie myself, I’m clearly asking for manual control, not a debate. Please let us choose: Full AI goalie Or fully dumb, obedient goalie who does exactly what the player inputs If I overcommit and get burned, that’s on me. At least then the position would be skill-based instead of guess-based. Thanks — A goalie player who would love to lose because of his own mistakes, not because the goalie “thought better.”AI goalie feedback - WOC and HUT
Goalies are always a hot topic, I understand that, but these clips are simply unacceptable. This has happened MULTIPLE times to us and here's a few clips: Why are these goalies freaking out over 1 MPH pucks going towards them? https://youtu.be/jrVVLWb6ArA?si=ad4atvDqwXr0wisy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A04Eh2LKlX8 Why is this goalie flying off the post when I covered the cross extremely well? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfYoASTdJ50 Please pass this along EA_Aljo. Especially the top 2. goalies need to play the puck better when they have 5 seconds to react to it.Be a Pro Issues
Okay, so clearly this mode wasn’t play tested by the development team. Maybe they weren’t given time, idk. form score in the last patch was updated for scratch, 4th line and 3rd line players. Glad to see it. What about 2nd and first line players? To get on 1st line I need to have 85 form score???? What? That literally is not possible if you play on a higher difficulty. it is not realistic to score a goal a game. I don’t want to do that. I want a challenge. EA_Aljo can the team fix form score? At a bare minimum can we be told explicitly how it is calculated? I’m leading my team in goals, points plus minus and I’m not on the top line because I can’t get 85 form score. This is impossible. Second issue that clearly was not QA’d or play tested: my player has pretty much lost the X factor ability wheels. Why? Because I didn’t realize my acceleration stat (which I have maxed out in the TP tree) is at 90 when my health is at max (giving a bonus of 5%). I upgraded my wheels X factor to blue which requires 89 acceleration. So now if I play a game, my health goes down and I lose the X factor ability and can’t equip it because I lose the 5% acceleration stat. And there is NO WAY to equip yellow wheels again. Seriously, I’m trying to have respect for the development team, I’m a developer myself, but I swear these people don’t think. How can I increase my acceleration stat in the game through gameplay? Since I’ve maxed out the acceleration TP tree, I’m kinda screwed??
L2/LT Mechanic is Ruining the Gameplay
I’d honestly like a response from the developers on this. How is it that we go from, “L2 can’t be abused” at the beginning of the game release to the Ice Capades in its current format? The only way that is currently being used to beat a defender or draw a penalty is by holding in LT/L2 so long, without losing an iota of speed or agility, that it turns your player around backwards and still having the ability to create offense. What the hell happened to simulation hockey? This has become nothing but arcade at best and it’s truly a shame there isn’t any sort of competition to give EA a run for their money like 2K. This mechanic that you claimed to have fixed at the game release is completely and utterly broken and is ruining gameplay. I’ve spent nearly 500 hrs on this game and rarely do you see any type of simulation hockey play. Every single time, regardless of game mode, you get into the offensive zone it’s L2/LT and the defense can’t do anything (except take a penalty). Meanwhile, the offense can do whatever they want and lose zero speed, lose zero agility, and can’t be checked or lose the puck. I for one will not be buying the game next year if this isn’t fixed and I hope a lot of people do the same.You really think this is enjoying to play?
Almost every game no matter is it drop in or club game is against elite or diamond ranked players. There is almost 10 clubs that has quitted totally because of this. Some players at my team had enough and quitted. It is not right that people who would like to play are kinda forced to quit because constantly playing against players/teams that you should not play against. This is not funny anymore than you make people quit and private games is not the answer here or saying that you need to play better. Once again. It is not funny and you NEED TO DO SOMETHING before it is too late. Everyone of us has their skill level and some people just are much better than others. I am almost ready to give up because every day it is the same. Just lost game 18-0 and game was 8-0 before my team got first shot of the game. Even just showing players rank in lobby when you find match would be a start. Everyone would know way earlier before puck drop that is there even point to start the game or trying to find another. This game should be fun for everyone to play. Currently it is not. Not even close. Fix this before too many quits playing.
