Please
This game is absolutely bad enough to justify a refund on the playstation store, considering sony's standards. Luckily for them, people just put up with this level of quality, and theres too small of a market for enough complaints (or any competition, for that matter). I pray the developers can get reassigned and this franchise dies a very deserved death. I dont even care about the gameplay honestly. Its outdated, glitchy and overall bad, of course, but the menus are offensively laggy. Its such a slap in the face to open the game and get an ad, for a gamemode i dont play, on top of having to FIGHT through these awful menu screens, where you dont know if the game has registered a button press for about 2 seconds, so you wait, see if it reacts to your input, and then you can react accordingly. Open world of chel - another ad. Back out of that one and finally get into the dressing room. Oops someone got an error which kicked them back to the main menu. Another 5 minutes waiting on them. Finally find a game and the other team leaves pre match, or someone on our team gets an error. Do it all over again, for a game that has already been out for 7 years, with some new - horribly optimized - additions (stick physics, reverse hitting, interference is allowed, goalies are worse than ever, but hey, new animations). Please stop purchasing these games, companies like ea would be forced to make better (or even just functioning) ones.Can you turn up ai goalie logic in a quick tuner/update in WOC?
For the love of all things, how did the ai goalies get absolutely worse in WOC, esp in 3v3? I am so sick and tired of playing against the same moves that go in 5/6 times a game. Yes they are defendable, but b/c of the wheel/speed meta, gaps happen no matter how hard you try to lock it down. Meanwhile you get punished for playing a teamplay style setting up high iq hockey plays. The goalies react to one timers like they are Brodeur, Roy and Hasek...but when a dman is in good position just keeping them outside, they come down backhand forehand backhand, shoot from the side of the net and the goalies then look like Toskala, Salo, and Talbot. They either freeze in place, or bite so hard that they are 5 ft out of the crease. Im sick and tired of playing games that are 9-7, 6-5, ect. How about making the goalies harder to score on and we get games that come out 1-0, 2-1, 3-2? You should be rewarded for playing hockey not punished for it. The fact that the goalies are more "cheese-able" than ever after your big goalie updates the last few years is pretty sad tbh.
Height and Weight Impact
Does anyone know the impact that height and weight have IN game? I know they obviously affect certain attributes like speed, strength, etc. out of game, but do they also play apart in the actual game? For instance, would a 6'5" 220lb player with 99 speed be as fast as a 5'9" 160lb player with 99 speed? Would that 5'9" player with 90 balance resist hits the same as the 6'5" player with 90 balance? The answer should be that only attributes matter in game, but the actual gameplay feels otherwise. I just wanted to confirm if anyone has any facts on this and to see how much it really impacts gameplay. thank you!3rd jerseys/Winter classic/Stadium series jerseys

UNSOLICITED ADVICE!!!
i don't know who needs to hear this, but here goes: i've played every iteration of this game since NHLPA 93. watched it evolve over time to where it is today. I'm going to give you some unsolicited advice for the 3v3 and 6v6 Chel Club players out there: if you go down by multiple goals EARLY just back out. just quit at that moment. Don't stick around to get pounded into the net. it is not worth it. TIME IS YOUR ONLY REAL CURRENCY. why waste that precious commodity to get pulverized by people who spend Way Too Much Time Playing This Game (no offense. it's your life, if you want to spend it playing this game, be my guest!). YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO STAY IN GAMES! who cares about backout/quitting penalties? who cares about your club rank? aren't we here to ENJOY THE GAME WE SPENT MONEY TO PLAY????? go find a matchup you can actually ENJOY! go find an opponent who is on your level BECAUSE EA WON'T DO IT FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! until they fix matchmaking it is up to you to Have A Good Time. Just last night, my club went down in a game within 10 minutes 4-0 and we all said "nah. let's back out" AND THEN WE WENT ON A TEAR AND WON A BUNCH OF FUN GAMES!!!!!! tl;dr IT IS UP TO YOU TO MONITOR THE MATCHMAKING SITUATION. DON'T FEEL BAD ABOUT QUITTING AND FINDING A BETTER MATCHUP.Pavel Datsyuk alumni
Chel doesn’t have Datsyuk alumni card for the magic man # 13 , what gives? I think the majority of hockey fans can agree he was the top dog when it comes to the dangles and dekes and was an all around solid hockey player. I’ve heard from many pros and guys from Spittin Chiclets claiming he was without a doubt one of the all time greats in hockey so please make him a card and don’t disrespect the game of hockey!
