SportGamers, Our community is growing with new members every year. From time to time we are asked for tips on how to find a team or how to find players for your team. In this post, we have put together a few links to our forum where you can either search for a team or sign up as a free agent. You'll also find some tips at the end, that might be just what you need to connect with that new group of potential teammates. This post is mainly intended for the European audience that is interested in playing in the European Championship League. Free Agents EU - PlayStation 5 & Xbox Series X|S In this forum section, you can register as a free agent or search for new players for your team. You will find a "reply to topic" section under the last message on the page where you can post your own free agent message. In this message, you can briefly tell us about yourself, what position you are looking to play, and how to best reach you. Please note that a community account is required in order to post a message. Please also note that this forum section is only for free agent messages. Free Agency Team feature Last season we tested a feature to have the free agency status appear on the player card of free agents. We got some good feedback, so we'll continue running this. If you wish to participate, send a private message to @SG Free Agent Admin with your PSN ID/Gamertag. You will receive an invitation to the Free Agent team on SportsGamer and by accepting it, this will give you the status visible on your player card. Please note that the invitation is usually not immediate and can take some time. Also, note that whatever positions and favorite position you have selected on your player card when accepting the invitation is what will appear in your free agency profile. You will be able to browse the Free Agent team here. (Link will be updated shortly) Once you find a new team you can join it right away and send a message to @SG Free Agent Admin (who is the captain of the Free Agent team), and you will be removed from the free agency. While this new approach will help list free agents and offer an additional way to be seen, for the best result in finding a team we still recommend following the other tips in this news story! EU Clubs looking for players - PlayStation 5 & Xbox Series X|S In this section of the forum, you can let everyone know when your team is looking for players, which means free agents can find teams by browsing this thread. You will find a "reply to topic" section under the last message on the page. Here you can write your "club looking for players" post where you tell us about the club and what kind of player you are looking for. You can look for good tips for your post in the numerous posts written by other clubs. Please note that both of the above-mentioned forum threads are meant only for writing the "ads". When you see something you're interested in, please use private messaging (e.g. SportGamer, Discord, PSN or Xbox Live) to contact them. Usually, the writer of the post will let you know how best to get in touch. So here is your reminder: whenever you post, remember to mention how to best get in touch with you. Useful tips In addition to these previous tools, we recommend you to be active and try to play as much as possible. On our Discord server, you will find a section called "free for tonight" In this section, you can sign up for free play and of course, if you're lucky you might find some people that want to play with you in the future. Another good tip that works is to add "FA" or "Free Agent" to your player's name in the game so that your teammates and opponents can see during the game that you are looking for a team. There you have it! We hope you find these tips useful. Feel free to share your advice in the comments. Good luck finding the perfect match! -
We have been using ECLLite password lately and there has been games .. not long waiting periods in lobby. I also like to play quite activilely so I visit another teams also and sometimes ECLPro games so its bit different when playing with mixed teams. Maybe easiest way is just dodge if you dont want to play against some team, it might be frustrating and take some time to find you actually want to play against. Sometimes teams dont play even if they are in same level in ECL... so its not always so easy to find game.
-
Good points. Lite has what, 64 teams? If they actually used the password for Lite teams, a Lite team finding another Lite team would be easier than any other way of matchmaking in the game.
-
I'm not sure if I understood your question correctly, but if you mean what I think you mean, see Page 13 in the ECL Rules for section 5.3 “Backer” role. If that's not what you meant, please explain in more detail and we'll do our best to help out.

I think a solution could be to have a new password for Elite and Pro teams and keep ECLPro as is where every team can search games with ECL rules if they can't find games in their own division.
-
Rally english, here I come. I see here 2 options. Option 1: All teams (Lite, Pro) , (Elite?) can search Pro-password. If you dont like your opponent, dodge it and try find a new one. If you want play more competetive games, then you need arrange private game. Option 2: We must force ALL Lite teams (Core?) use Lite-password. And all teams need to know this. If all Lite teams uses it like pro-password, games will find easy. But there is "what if" problem always...(mixed teams, last season in Pro/Elite. etc...) Again, if you dont like your opponent, dodge it and find a new one. "just arrange bo3 games" is not an option for Lite teams if they cant use pro-password. Lite-password need to be popular. If Lite-password are not popular, then all the teams search with Pro-password... So far, my team havent found any games with Lite-password... Also late night games; If clock is like 23.00 (fin time) and Lite (Core?)team is going to search with Lite-password and games not found. Its very stupid, if Lite team must go to normal broken search and cant try with pro-password. At the time, most of teams are mixed and its good for everyone, if you can find an opponent elsewhere than in normal broken search...

I think the suggestion is identical to the current situation, only with a different password. The non-competitive teams would start using the new password as soon as they got wind of it, which would be soon enough. Also, the dodging team waiting before searching again is already the unwritten rule. Not everyone adheres to it though, as a lot of teams just dodge and search again right away. This would also not change. The public matchmaking system is definitely broken, but ECLPro was created by a Pro team for the purpose of practicing with other Pro teams. It was basically just a shortcut around Pro teams having to set up private games on Discord or wherever. Now it's rare for a Pro team to find another Pro team using the password. It's not on these teams to fix the matchmaking system. The reason it's next to impossible to find a decent competitive game without using this password is exactly because everyone is using it. Honestly, I don't mind the password games including any teams from the lower divisions that are actually good enough for the game not to be a complete waste of time. We all know these teams exist, and we all know Pro has teams that are worse than some in the lower divisions. The problem is that everyone thinks their team is good enough to compete with Pro teams, which is obviously not the case. This is why limiting each password to teams in its corresponding division would be the solution. It removes any ambiguity around who "deserves" to use a specific password. Enforcing the passwords is probably not realistic, so I agree with you and tbnantti on that point. My posts go back to all the wasted time against teams that any Pro team would beat with their hands tied behind their backs.

Can you have two captains from different divisions in a team?

The reason why Lite-Neo teams search with ECLPro is simply because the public matchmaking is so bad you have to dodge non-competitive & bot-filled teams multiple times. That’s on EA, don’t blame the teams for just trying to find a damn game. I represent these teams and I have never found an opponent with ECLLite. How about one password for all competitive practice games, the team who dodges waits a bit before searching again to avoid re-matching. This way we could a) increase matchmaking pool, b) filter the matchmaking to competitive human-filled teams only, and lastly c) teams can dodge if they don’t want to play. Current system is never going to work without mods and who has time for that?

Enforcing this would be an overreach and teams will still use the most widely used password if they can’t find a game. So while it’s a nice idea, the community will carry on doing what they’re doing.

You don't know anything about goalie abilities cause you haven't shot single shot againts goalie in your life
-
Ttplucas3 joined the community -
The first line in that ability is literally absord shots. I have tried it in goal myself and it was op and I have shot againts it and it was still op. It is the one that is always activating when impossible save happens.

I understand both saaggssy and Karlzzzon's perspective for sure. And I've played countless good games against Nightbot and saaggssy (many of which my team lost). So it gets more complicated with teams that could compete in Pro and are thus well matched against Pro teams. And as saaggssy pointed out, some Pro teams are actually worse than some Lite teams. I still support Saviinainen's idea of enforcing the passwords, however. This would make it clearer and fairer. If you make all these exceptions, even if they're based on teams' skill levels, the line gets blurred and people start asking why one team is supposedly good enough to use the password while another isn't. The slippery slope eventually returns us to this same situation. I'm personally not even in a Pro team now, I just like the idea based on a lot of experience with matchmaking using the ECLPro password.

That goalie abilities have not been banned is absolutely ridiculous, but i guess thats what happens when goalies cry about how unfair life is every game, even tho they experience biggest handicap out there.. It is easy to point out everytime a close quarter or one tee glitches through the goalie, but no one bats an eye when a goalie is completely on the other side of the net but still saves the puck, we mark it down as "wow great save" i think that is ridiculous. I played without abilities last year for like a month against other teams without it and goalscoring went up, cause bad goalies got punished And dont come at me with this bs "close quarters goes through the goalie" "and you cant claim that those saves are because of abilities" Nah i cant but you cant prove to me that the shot wasnt just a lucky bounce and was impossible to go in without close quarters cause you dont have a time machine to go back in time take of the ability and shoot in that exact same spot with exact same timing. Goalies have biggest handicap in this game and get treated like spoiled kids Would be happy to discuss this topic with adults and not crybaby goalies trying to be funny or are just pissed off Come with valid points and we can discuss

What if you play with/in a club that's not in a league. A club like Nightbot.👀😎
-
Every team has earned their spot in each division, so if top lite team think they are better than some teams in PRO, just prove it and get promoted from lite to pro next season, then you are able to use that pro division password 😊 until that they should use own division password which is ECLLite or then they should arrange some private BO3 games but not ruining other pracs using wrong division password. Also you can always use public search

Top Lites still should be able to use ECLPro, because lites and cores is too easy for them and its not challange. This year i play Lite, but i can easy hold against pro and elites team and my team is strong enough to play ECLPro search, so i dont see reason to not search ECLPro. Also - You can always dodge if you dont like something or they gonna leave game if they see that you are to strong.just stop crying all the time - this is not that big problem how you think it is.. if you have issues just book bo3 with teams what you want to go against and play. If you search public be aware there gonna be different type of guys. Also look at roster and see if guys play pro even if mixed team with wierd name. Also - lot of pro teams is not even capable to play in pros. so its make no sense to give warnings to teams who abuse ECLpro search and ruining experience for pros, because a lot of this pro teams is not even capable to play in pros and hold up against true pro teams who actualy made pros by skill and experience not money. All the time have this problems in PRO, long time PRO Level is not only Proffesionals in game, its just guys who can pay up license and go trough qualy. But like we saw last year, everyone went in even last places, so its not qualy tournament at all, its again - money. So make nonsense to cry about experience.

I literally don’t have any idea why you are so butthurt but even your quote states that I’m talking about NHL 24… I will say this the third time so you might hopefully finally understand; goalies making undeserved saves is not new to NHL 26 and this is not even close to being as bad as it was NHL 24.

This is a good idea. The ECLPro password has been abused for most of the time it's been around. Enforcement is the only way to make it work as intended. If your team is legitimately good enough to play against Pro teams, climb into Pro/Pro qualifiers with your team and then search with the password intended for those teams. If you don't enjoy playing against teams below that level, join a team that plays in Pro/Pro qualifiers.
