The important thing is probably what Furyan wrote above. In this thread, Kenu says that it is likely a full ability ban for the upcoming season. Like Furyan wrote, we need a confirmation on this as soon as possible. Or a decision in another direction, as long as the decision is finalized so people can start practicing the right way. But as it looks right now, the latest information should be understood as ECL Spring being played completely without abilities.

If you ban all abilities ALL OF THEM, the game play is more realistic and fair, shouldnt rely on abilities to play. Then no one can blame situations that happen in a game, it’s all fair and down to pure players/goalie ability to be able to play the game with out perks

Not many time i write, but agree the most, should ban elites and play with blue and gold perks!

We need to do ban decisions based on things what are breaking the game, not that way like lets ban PWF, DFD, ENF etc because someones wanna play PMD and that cant match with power etc. With that kind of move we should banned PMD:s from previous games from everyone because other people were forced to use that PMD in defence just because that was only way to match with speed of forwards. You wasnt able to play like TWD or DFD. I have played with two way defenceman in this version lately and that build is able to match with physical plays against PWD:s

Ban them all, game much better with out them, even for goalies

After review, im down to join the ''ban them all'' side However, if we decide to ban them all, IN MY OPINION we need to ban PWF, DFD and ENF etc. Because as a defender who use the PMD, you need to counter the PWF with stick em up (you can ofc counter with better positioning too, but it's a lot harder overall as a PMD), the physical plays are already in favour of the PWF, and as a player i shouldn't be forced to use the DFD just to stand a chance in my own zone. So in my opinion we should keep the current bans where forwards can't use PMD on the wings, but we should add PWF and ENF to that list, and DFD ENF for the defenders. If you don't agree, i would like to hear your opinions regarding this 🙏

You make an excellent point here, but the problem is that they should have banned them all from the beginning, not in the middle of the release or during tournaments. I do agree that at some point we have to make a decision, but the best timing would be before the new release so we already know there won’t be abilities when the game launches and that it stays that way. I believe EA will not get rid of the abilities anytime soon (ever), as they make money from them. I’d also like to comment on the statement that “bans would not be based on the opinion of the loudest people in the community.” It’s not about who happens to speak up; it’s important that everyone who has an opinion feels encouraged to share it so all viewpoints can be heard. That was the whole reason I started this conversation. SportsGamer should make some decisions or conduct a poll as soon as possible so people have time to adjust.

I can’t really justify my opinion with experience how gameplay would be because I have only played with current abilities rules this year (Gameplay is pretty good imo, it would be fairer without orange abilities), but I try to think what would be the most fair for everyone. In my opinion, the only fair solution is to ban all abilities, and they should stay banned as long as EA keeps the current ability system in the game. Otherwise, we will have this same discussion every single yearly release. The game would be more predictable, bans would not be based on the opinion of the loudest people in the community, there would not be unfairness because of abilities behind a paywall...game would just be fair for everyone.

This is a very good idea. There's apparently ample time before the next tournament, so now would be a good time to try it out even before any announcements, seeing as there should also be plenty of time to return to using abilities if needed.

Good idea, but I see a problem with having a single password: Pro and Elite teams probably don’t play against Neo/Core/Lite teams. Of course all the teams who just want to test how it feels to play without abilites could you use a password like ECLTest or something like that.

Many people say that the game will get worse if all abilities are banned but we haven´t try it yet? 🤔 ➡️ What about if we create a password for games without abilities, so we can try to play without them? If you dont want to ban all abilities then this could also be a great idea: Sportsgamer should organize a poll about these abilities.

Hello! Hc elite wolves is looking starter C/LW. We are go to play neo league. And maybe starter RD we dont just play we win! Contact here or discord: mihael.34

I think banning everything will make the gameplay even worse. Defending will become even more turtle than it is, just because its almost impossible to score farther than 2 meters away from the net without shooting abilities. Attacking will become even more forcing than its ever been and i think thats not what we want. Only available skater abilities that i dont understand is "Tape to tape" and "Send it" why we have autosaucers and acceleration boosts in competitive gaming? I dont comment about goalie abilities, just because i want to avoid that brainless discussion. Just sharing my own thoughts👆

Agree 100%. Whatever the decision is, it would be fair for everyone to have time to adapt if there are going to be major changes not just one or two weeks before the new season. So the sooner the better.
