I really appreciate work of SG Team and excited to play in next season. But I was thinking a little bit about goalies, and really perfect combo would be to ban all abilities for players on the field (as it was done) and allow compromise for goalies, for example you can choose 2 gold abilities or 1 blue, it won’t make goalies overpowered as with red sponge, but they will save at least some good shots as in real life.

Having played a whole session without abilities now, I would say I prefer it over having the abilities. There are certain things you need to relearn because everyone is used to the abilities boosting the players in various situations. For example, now you need to pay more attention to your player's orientation when taking a shot to avoid a long pickup animation. Defenders need to be more deliberate with the R1. I feel like removing the abilities brought back the need to consider more of these little details, which is nice. Everything also feels more consistent overall, both on offense and defense. Sure, there are fewer "clean" goals from ability-boosted shots and more forced pass attempts in situations where players would previously spam the shooting abilities. But I think there is also more room for other type of goals now that the boosts are gone. Besides the usual passing plays to break through the tight slot area or create a decent chance from the outside, you need to utilize tip-ins (we conceded two tip-in goals last night now that I guess people are going for them again), rebounds, and just shooting the puck while having your guys crash the net.

imo just golden traits would make game feel more creative and overall better to get reward for good plays on a better percentage, sure goalies dont have abilities to compensate it but either way its gonna be forcefest+turtle D for most teams but to be fair shouldve made a poll for captains atleast to get more opinions.🤠

Ws to the community for adopting changes fast and playing no ability games with pw already today! ✊

The decision came a little later, but it’s finally here. The game itself will definitely be slower than a classic match with super abilities, but that won’t hurt the gameplay, since skaters will need to adjust their builds to improve abilities that specifically suit their style of play. As for goalies, I’ve been playing in net for 5 years, and in the last two seasons I’ve played 100 games without super abilities. It may sound strange, but the game will finally make sense here too. A smaller, fast goalie will be great for OT, while a big, lazy one will cover the angles perfectly — just like in real life. We’re talking about hundreds of games I’ve played in different competitions and practices. Whether people like it or not, players will finally have it in their own hands. And I should point out that I made my biggest saves without any problems, even without super abilities. The fact that goals go in because an opposing player screens the goalie and the goalie doesn’t have a good view is completely normal — it’s part of hockey. Good luck and enjoy the game.

As a goalie I'm not looking forward for next season. Without abilities goalies suck. I can agree elite sponge and post to post is too good. But it would be better that goalies could only choose gold x-factors. Ea didn't make the game thinking about goalies only skaters. It is not going to be who is better goalie. It's just who can avoid unavoidable Ea bs.

Hi,what position do you play? Is it okay we play for just fun not to try hard?

🔥🔥

Democracy is slow and very good at making shitty compromises in situations like this.

Good times😭

I genuinely think there were some great ideas on how to make this decision in a much better way, whatever the outcome would have been. Perhaps this is the best for the game. It’s impossible to say yet. Maybe we will actually like it much more, we’ll have to see. BUT the way this was handled, like it seems with all the other decisions, was quite poor. We are all paying for this, so I would have at least hoped that the teams/captains had actually been asked what they really wanted, instead of making dictatorship-like decisions. This was first announced too early (in the middle of the season) and then deleted after the reactions. “We have come to this decision based on community feedback.” I’m sorry, but this feels like total nonsense. Where did you get this feedback from? Not here. From what I read and understand in the comments, it’s more like 50-50.
