Auto Skate Backwards Stuck On
I never play with auto backwards skating on and turn it off every year. No issues until recently, playing Franchise Mode and I'll select a D defending a rush and despite trying to chase the forward down, he just starts skating backwards without holding LT. It's infuriating because it's still set to off. Happens a few times a game, intermittent bug.
Is there a line change glitch fix coming?
Franchise only player here. I've been playing the NHL series every year since the 90's (though since '20 I started going bi yearly) and I've never posted here. But for the love of God, please fix the incorrect/mixed lines coming on when changing lines on the fly. I saw a comment from a mod months ago that "the team is aware"...but we're 25% of the way through the games cycle until the next one, and one of the most important parts of a game of hockey is broken. I get it, I see people complain about a lot of stuff that isn't that big, but not being able to put out the right lines means the game does not work as it is supposed to. I've seen other people upload videos of it and I will if I have to. But getting mish mashed lines all the time seems like a simple fix. Can I just get an answer if it will be patched so I know if I can eventually play one day, as of now it's just sitting there unfortunately. Also, whose idea was it to shorten the game intros, not even any goalie stats. Thought we were gonna get better presentation when they revamped it, but the opposite. But that's a minor complaint that can't be changed.
Pass Icon Bug
Pass icon for tape to tape, one tee, or stretch passing is not working. Under the settings tab, I have numerous times during periods made sure “ icon passing” is on.. it never saves.!!!! Ea why? As a valued customer buying always deluxe editions, this bug or change needs to be explained!! After only a battle pass update this should not be an issue!!
Bugs I have found with attributes/skating/shooting
The Passing attribute has 0 effect on your max passing power. 36 Passing is the same as 99. 36 is the same as 99 with Tape to Tape or even Send It. All passes charged to the max on Total Control settings (also tried Hybrid and Skill Stick as well just in case, AND 100/100 vs. 0/100 online pass assist when I tested online). No matter what, fully charged passes took just about 20 frames to travel the same distance. I passed it from my D-zone faceoff dot straight towards the neutral zone dots used for offsides etc. and counted how many frames it took the puck to travel from the top of the faceoff circle to the blue line. Example of a 99 Passing + Gold Tape to Tape Playmaker vs. minimum Passing for a Power Forward: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/fU16BA_WPBc Certain Shot Styles affect your shot speed. Easiest test is one timers with One Timer Style 1 vs One Timer Style 18 (or it might be 17, it's been a while since we tested it) since the speeds show up on the boards with One Timers (sometimes). My friend and I used the exact same build using the exact same method to shoot (Just hold L2 and Up, no worrying about timing) in an online practice mode and my shots were on average 5-10 MPH slower, until I switched my Slap Shot Style off of 18 to 1. We took 20+ shots each. Skating Style does seem to have some effect on the way your guy turns and stops (No effect on speed I can tell that for a fact). I don't want to theorize about what does what as it's hard to demonstrate. All I know is I've started using all 99 except Upper Body Twist set to 0. There were some loadouts where I couldn't do the like, 45 degree stride cuts, some where my guy would just stutter a few times while trying to do a stop and turn around (I think this was something to do with 0 stride height). Some builds would have wacky stick animations (combine 99 One handed stick sweep with 0 two handed stick sweep). I feel like this needs to be revisited because I'm convinced the physics of the way your guy strides and where his feet are how hunched over he is etc. have effects on your characters functional agility at the bare minimum.
Tradeable Teams List is 'N/A'
Xbox Series S. The 'Tradeable Teams List' for all players with M-NTC on CPU teams seems to have disappeared and only shows 'N/A' now. Wasn't sure if I was missing something, so I checked through 10+ teams and not a single player had a tradeable teams list, also ensured a few players were fully scouted and didn't change anything.
