NHLGamers, It's with great pleasure we're able to announce that we have teamed up with Gigantti in order to bring you the Finnish Championship League! The FCL has the official Finnish Championship license (eSM 2019) from the Finnish Esports Federation (SEUL) and it will be played in both the 6vs6 and 1vs1 game modes. The FCL will be hosted over the next upcoming weeks and will culminate at Assembly Summer 2019 in Helsinki on Friday the 2nd (1vs1) and Saturday 3rd of August (6vs6) 2019. The game used to decide the new Finnish champions in ehockey will be NHL 19. The combined prize pool is 10 000 EUR, with both 6vs6 and 1vs1 getting a 5 000 EUR split (see below for a more detailed look)! This time around also non-Finnish citizens will be able to participate in the 6vs6 portion! The upcoming tournament will feature a foreign player quota, which entails that a majority (51%) of the teams roster (and line-up) must be Finnish. In addition, all captains must be Finnish citizens. All players require an eSM 2019 license in order to participate in FCL 6vs6 and/or FCL 1vs1. The cost of the license is 5 EUR and it can be obtained at esm.gg/pelaajalisenssi/ (click here for instructions in English). The one-time purchase of the license allows you to take part in all eSM 2019 leagues and tournaments (for 1vs1 you must be a Finnish citizen). "Why now, it's the Summer!?", someone might ask. To get to play for the Finnish championship at Summer Assembly powered by Gigantti is simply a great opportunity that fits together with our vision of providing high quality leagues and tournaments for our gamers all year long. We have been looking to give the teams and players an opportunity to prepare a bit longer for the Finnish championships than they have in the past and this enables us to do so also in the future. Signups are open effective immediately and will be open until Friday, 5th of July at 23:59 CEST. Please find a preliminary schedule for FCL 6vs6 below: Sign-ups: 28.6.-5.7. Group stage: 8.-17.7.

About us Since its inception, NHLGamer has continuously strived to offer the best possible experience for any and all gamers who have come to enjoy the competitiveness of playing the EA Sports series of NHL games. We made our biggest stride forward yet when we in late 2015 introduced the first ever European Championship League (ECL) - a league where all the best European NHL gamers create teams and compete against each other in the game mode EASHL (6vs6) for the title of Best EASHL Team in Europe. While proud of our achievements and the success we've had in creating and maintaining such a great community of talented gamers, we are not done yet. Our long-term goals include growing the community, hosting larger leagues with prize pools and working together with organizations at the cutting edge of gaming and esports. About our partners Gigantti is the largest consumer electronics retailer in Finland, with 41 stores and 1200 employees. In 2017, Gigantti started its own esports organization Team Gigantti. Team Gigantti's top achievements include among others Overwatch Contenders European and Finnish Championships in 2017, 2018 and 2019. Assembly is a bi-annual computer festival, esports event, demoscene and lan party in Helsinki, Finland. Assembly Organizing is a community of over 200 volunteers who passionately arrange the unique Assembly events in Finland since 1992. Their roots trace back to the early 90's when demo groups and individuals from the demoscene organized the first Assembly events. Assembly has been a catalyst to the Finnish game industry. They have been part of the birth of Rovio, Supercell, Remedy, Housemarque and many more gaming companies from the talents of the Finnish demoscene. Today they are backed by the Finnish non-profit company "Assembly Organizing". The Finnish Esports Federation (SEUL) works as the umbrella organization for Finnish competitive electronic gaming. Our mission is to improve and promote electronic sports and the activities of our members. The federation was established in December 2010 to respond to the growing need for an organization to promote esports as a hobby and as a respectable sport. The activities performed by SEUL are divided into the development of esports, protection of player’s interests and communicational work. The development of esports is done partly by utilizing workgroups, which are based on the work of our volunteers. The board is responsible for the day to day operations in co-operation with employees. The federation co-operates with many national organizations such as VERKE, EHYT ry and KAVI, promoting a positive image of gamers and gaming in general. The federation’s participation in international field is strong, since we represent Finland in the International Esports Federation (IESF). SEUL is also on the receiving end of the yearly grants given out by the Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture for youth programs. What are you waiting for? Sign up now for the chance of winning the Finnish Championship and some great cash prizes! We sincerely hope to see as many of you there as possible! Also, since the sign-up period is rather short, we'd appreciate it if you spread the word to everyone! On behalf of NHLGamer.com,26 points -

Whether you're playing in the Spring League or not, please make sure to follow our news section as info for further tournaments will be released soon.9 points -
We still see a big interest from the community for the Summer Cup, but we didn't want to start signups before we were able to communicate about FCL as we know some players will prefer to focus on that and that would have potentially lead to a lot of drop-outs. While our resources are definitely being tested with the SL and FCL running simultaneously, in addition to preparing for everything NHL 20, we hope to be able to discuss the Summer Cup next.6 points

6v6 - Practice mode - Spectator mode (!!!) - Goalie controls 6th skater with goalie pulled (actually makes it effective!) and on delayed penalties - More customization for the club - No more dressing room errors - Quicker, smarter menus - Quicker cuts between whistles to next faceoff - dont need the option to shoot the puck after the whistle and cause a fight1 point

There’s a lot of things, some are more minor than the others but with these improvements the game would be much better well-rounded and I know I myself would play a lot more of the different modes. Many of the suggested features should be considered more in a situation like ”hey the game is perfect now, what other cool shit can we add in?” There’s also some repetition in stuff that affects multiple gamemodes. World Of Chel: Allow user goalie to play as the extra player when pulled from the net Upgrade player stats by at least +3, not too much tho (most builds are 75-78 ovr when created offline, highest I’ve been able to get with limited testing was I believe a 83 ovr grinder through traits like hockey iq 2) Club practice and the ability to be in there while searching for a game You should be able to earn hockey bags after max lvl more easily than now. I believe right now the only way to get them after reaching max lvl and playing through pro-am is grinding ones, which is far from ideal for someone like me who doesn’t really play anything else than club in WOC A player dropping in 6v6 should be treated the same way as a goalie, —> team whose player got disconnected gets awarded with a loss. Should probably also add a minute or two to rejoin in case of a disconnect at least in private games, this would of course need the implementation of rejoining Saw a suggestion for an equipment store in twitter; maybe instead of hockey bags you should be able to buy the customization you want with some kind of points (tied to xp? Would also solve the problem of getting new equipment after max lvl). I wouldn’t cry if you would be able to buy the things there with real money as well, EA could monetize WOC this way and you would still be able to grind for the stuff. I understand hockey bags are a good way to keep people playing longer as they may need to open a ton of bags to get what they want, so EA could just give us the ability to buy them with the xp points and real money or something. Hockey Ultimate Team: Nothing much to say, gameplay is way too fast and broken for my liking (player stats are too high) but that’s really the point of the gamemode so should be done in regards to that Add an AFK timer, if you afk too long you’ll be kicked from the game and awarded with a loss. Versus: Ability to save strategies and lines Add an AFK timer, if you afk too long you’ll be kicked from the game and awarded with a loss. Franchise Mode: Three-way trades NMCs and NTCs. Ability to give them to players, request them to waive them etc Make trade deadline an event, to feel like it means something International tournaments (ability to be a national team’s GM) A playable All-Star event A playable Winter(/Heritage and so on) Classic event Ability to let signed players remain in their European/Russian/ROW/US team ECHL Affiliation, ability to assign your players to ECHL Ability to sign and fire coaches. Preferably even real-life ones. Be A Pro: Bring back a ”Live the life” -style experience, I haven’t played BAP at all for for the last few years as it’s really boring in it’s current state Make the draft and other events real events, to feel like they mean something Ability to play in Europe Ability to play in world juniors and other international tournaments (this might even already be there, but as I said I haven’t played in years) A playable All-Star event A playable Winter(/Heritage and so on) Classic event. Gameplay: The ”tie” face-off animation should have something done to it, there’s no good way for anyone to get the puck from it. Could even remove it, there’s a higher change for my team to get my puck if I lose to a clean tie-up but no-one can get the puck when it’s a tie Different tuners for different gamemodes. Player stats, playstyles and so on are so different in EASHL/Versus/HUT that different things should be addressed. Nerf stick lift a bit, right now it’s just a tad too op but still a lot better than earlier in the year (it was both useless and too op at some points) There’s some (especially pickup) animations that are completely useless and ruin plays, —> cut the animations to a minimum, let us control our players as much as possible Player switching is sometimes pretty horrible. I know you’re able to choose which player you switch to and I should learn to use it, but still Add a button you have to press for tip-ins or something, —> find a way to make it at least somewhat skill based Improve puck pickups near your own net, there’s way too many own goals coming from dumb pickup animations Incidental contacts from behind resulting in losing the puck need to go. Menus/User experience: Make the menus smooth.. Old gen menus were fluid and enjoyable, meanwhile in NHL 15-19 you have to wait every time you press something. If I’d rather join the dressing room in EASHL via PS Party Chat than through the game itself, you’re doing something wrong big time The menus are way too complex, it wouldn’t be much of a problem if they were fluid as explained above though^^. Other: Roster sharing Spectating in online modes, with the ability to choose whichever camera angle you want Custom camera angles Ability to create set plays, like on old gen Ability to create custom face-off formations (could be useful in 6s too) Ability to move draft picks between teams similar to players (don’t have to wait for a roster update every time a trade happens) All-Star event -gamemode Winter Classic -gamemode Generate player pictures in the place of black silhouettes (we know it can be done, your Be A Pro player has a generated picture) When you’re going to change a major tournament format (GWC) completely, inform players about it early enough to be able to prepare without being at a huge disadvantage If GWC is going to be in HUT again, consider introducing an ovr cap Properly address reoccurring bugs, like the dressing room error. Can’t have the same bug ”fixed” multiple times and then reappearing just for a specific internet provider etc.. Custom logos in EASHL, HUT, create a team etc (add a logo creator similar to other games if being able to upload your own ones is too ”risky”) Similar to the logo creator, add a customizer for all goalie equipment (custom graphics in masks, pads etc). Again, if possible add the option to upload designs that you’ve made yourself on a pc Why do people keep getting their controller and camera settings reset? Fix pls Add back the skate blade customization from old gen (I think there was some other stuff you could choose too?). A lot of stuff, but that's how it is.1 point
