I have to ask why it will never happen? Every X-Factor is kinda silly in their own way, some being more stupid than others obviously. Anyway, now when EA "removed" Elite Edges, this should be the perfect spot to just ban them all from competitive gameplay, and end this f*cking stupid shitshow circle happening again year after year. No? If I would need to choose, I would go with "ban all" or "don't ban nothing" at this point. I have to agree with message above 100%. I take Kenus side with the decision they've made. He clearly informed 5-6 weeks ago they will probably go with "no-bans" if enough people doesn't stand out. Players saying it was "off-season" is just poor take for me. I understand that, but it's just not enough. Should SG have reminded us about this article? Yes sure, but it's still impossible to blame SG about it or attack towards them. Current situation is our fault and some self-reflection could be made here and there. What makes me the most tired are the toxic messages with zero value on this topic. Don't overreact, sit down, deep breath, analyze the shit and write your thoughts as respectfully as possible and the most important thing, justify your sayings. I rarely take part in conversations in this scene nowadays, and that's mostly because of the quality of the conversation and "cheap shots". Maybe I'm getting too old. And for SG, I also suggest to not make things harder what they really are. And with that I mean, if majority wants fe.; Big Tipper to be banned and no-one is against it, SG should have some balls to make quick LA decisions inside week or two. It's not that hard after all. We don't need 2 or 3 months long "testing ground" season to see if the shit is brown when we clearly know the answer already.28 points

I agree. We tried it yesterday against teams that defended it with several players, but it still went in at an insane percentage. I'm sure most teams can agree with me on this: the Big Tipper is the most broken ability at the moment. Personally, I don't like Truculence, but the Big Tipper is so overpowered, it's ridiculous. I understand Sportsgamer's perspective, but this ability is so broken it's not even fun anymore. I don't think anyone realized how overpowered it would be when Sportsgamer originally announced that no abilities would be banned for the first ECL (on September 6th). I highly recommend the Gamer Staff reconsider banning this ability. If not, all teams will just abuse and spam it constantly. This ability changes the way teams play so much that it alters the entire game.11 points

Why don't we just ban all the abilities and x-factors? In my opinion those have always been a bit unrealistic and "fantasy" type of things, one-tee is like everyone can shoot one-timers like Ovechkin (with better aim) and so on, it's a bit too much in my opinion. When these x-factors came to chel some years ago, my instant reaction back then was like why, why EA brings some fantasy traits for players, we don't need these kind of things. Without abilities and x-factors, there would be more options on how to put skill points on builds and because of that there might (yeah, just might) actually be more personalized builds, weight etc would matter more. Like it was back in the days. But like some others have said here, ban all or ban nothing, I would go with that if I had to choose. Yes, gold big tipper is waay too overpowered, but so is gold one-tee. In my opinion silver truculence is not too op, it has been nerfed for 2 years in a row and as I have been playing with and without it now in NHL 25, it just doesn’t give anything too op. Bumps don’t work with or without it (sometimes yes but not constantly) and as the hitting is harder in this game, only when you can make a big hit (which is not that easy imo) with trucu then the opponent loses more energy and takes some time to get up. But skating full speed your head down with 72 kg player and getting hammered on high speed might sometimes do that, no? But I can live without trucu, no worries. So after all, my opinion is that let’s ban all x-factors and abilities and play with skill points only, or at least try how that would work out. Playing without abilities would make this game “most realistic” as there would not be any fantasy skills etc and it would be fair for everyone. Let’s not just pick some abilities away and make this a floorball simulator, because this is hockey right? More than happy to hear your feelings and opinions on this one, let’s discuss about this. Toxic messages are taking all this to a wrong direction, for everyone. Thanks and sorry!10 points

I just dont get why do we have to go through this conversation again, atleast 80% elite players want to play without truculence, tipper, uf. Ppl are actually paying money to play in this league so why dont you listen the majority? Just because LA have decided so? Jesus just make a poll and just making it easier for you choices to be like "BAN EVERYTHING" "BAN TRUCULENCE, TIPPER, UF" and "DONT BAN ANYHTING" for elite 😪8 points

As a Dman imo onetimers are easy to defend. Just keep your guy and intercept that incoming pass 🤷 if you give that space and allow those onetimers and they go in, its mostly your/your team fault because you defended badly. Like as a goalie you can say like close quarter is too OP, but first you need to think what went wrong before that goal. How that opponent was free/able to shoot, why no one wasnt keeping him out, why no one didnt blocked that shot etc. And that was just example. I mean there is nearly everytime some kind of reason. But with big tipper i have personally saw it too like there is no matter how many guys there is defending that tipper guy, somehow he is able to score most of the time. So imo tipper should be banned. Personally idea to play without any traits/x-factors could be fun too, then no one needs to cry about those. The most important thing is that like we should discuss everything with good atmosphere. For some reason it feels like this scene is nowadays so toxic. There is too much offensive acting and speaking on/off the ice even you havent ever like spoke or played with someone who is doing that kind of sh**. Where is that good old community where everyone was valued and where was fun to play, no matter how old are you, where you play etc. Lets make this community great again!

Big tipper needs to be removed, it has nothing to do with competetive play… From what i have seen in the past few days, no one wants it to be allowed so I dont see why it cant be instantly banned as the backlash from the community has been very very clear. I dont even think there is anything to ”debate” or discuss, the public opinion is clear and that should be enough.8 points

Appreciate all the discussion and valuable feedback! As a reminder - and I know it takes work - it would be extremely valuable if we could get a bunch of videos of Big Tipper being OP (or whichever argument you are making), as I can forward them directly to the Vancouver Gameplay team.8 points

@SportsGamer How hard can it be? Start a poll for Elite and Pro. React with a 🏆 if you want to bann Truc, UF and Tipper. (Or other abilities) React with a 👍🏻if you want to play ECL with all abilities available. Only for players that played in ECL Elite and ECL PRO in ECL Spring Democracy is a good thing7 points

You tried to ban nothing - people went nuts. You tried to ban a few - people went nuts. You haven't tried to ban everything - try it, people might go nuts. There was a sauna-cup a while back where everything except elite edges was banned. No idea about the feedback but some of the players who participated in that tournament have suggested it so I can only assume it wasn't that bad. My opinion: Ban everything or nothing. If i had the power to decide, i would go with ban everything just to try it out.6 points

Absolutely agree on this one. I think if certain abilities need to be banned it is Big Tipper. Truculence does not seem to be as strong as in the previous games. Can't say too much about Unstoppable Force, also because of the "Meta Builds" which rarely include that ability. Also want to bring one more idea to the table which has been stated several times by a few players during the last couple of years: That each Playertype can only be used once per team. That would also bring some kind of variety to the Gameplay experience.5 points

Basing your team's playstyle around Big Tipper deflections requires exactly 0% hockey IQ and creativity. It's lame, boring and extremely overpowered. So, if SportsGamer wants their on-ice product to be borderline unwatchable for viewers and not enjoyable for the players, go on ahead and keep Big Tipper allowed. To summarize: BAN IT.5 points

I feel like lot of people especially in the lower divisions in this community doesn't want or dare to share their opinion because they feel it doesn't matter because I quote "they aren't the best players in the game". Just look at the toxic response what happened here after the announcement. And well ban all or nothing it doesn't really matter to me. 🤷🏻♂️5 points

Hey Gamers, We are ready to drop the puck for the ECL '25 Pre-Season! As a reminder, the ECL Pre-Season Tournament is a friendly tournament with three tiers for teams to get into the competitive mindset, without the heavy structure that comes with the actual ECL divisions framework. The tournaments include playoffs for each tier and the lowest tier allows new interested teams to try out the competitive games in a relaxed environment. ECL Pre-Season Below you'll find the key information about the different levels of play. Elite & Pro Only ECL Elite & ECL Pro teams, and by special request wildcard & qualifier teams This is a friendly warmup tournament, no need to argue (=no League Admin cases) Two groups of 9 teams. Top 3 per group make it to round 2 #4 & #5 will play against each other in the wildcard round and the winners will make it to round 2 Double-header gamedays Regular season 17.10-28.10 Playoffs (BO3) 30-31.10 (Wildcard 4vs5) 3.-4.11 (Quarterfinals) 6.-7.11 (Semifinals) 10.-11.11 (Finals) Click here to see the standings & schedule Lite & Core ECL Lite & ECL Core teams and teams that the League Administration has determined are too experienced for Neo & Newcomers This is a friendly warmup tournament, no need to argue (=no League Admin cases) Qualifier teams can participate, but the final rounds of the playoffs may coincide with the qualifiers 8 groups of 8-9 teams 4 teams per group make the playoffs Double-header gamedays Regular season 17.10-28.10 Playoffs (BO3) 30-31.10 (RO32) 3.-4.11 (RO16) 6.-7.11 (Quarterfinals) 10.-11.11 (Semifinals) 13-14.11 (Finals) Click here to see the standings & schedule Neo & Newcomers Only ECL Neo & Newcomer teams This is a friendly warmup tournament, no need to argue (=no League Admin cases) 4 groups of 8-9 teams 4 teams per group make the playoffs Double-header gamedays Regular season 17.10-28.10 Playoffs (BO3) 30-31.10 (RO16) 3.-4.11 (Quarterfinals) 6.-7.11 (Semifinals) 10.-11.11 (Finals) Click here to see the standings & schedule Rules We hope you all enjoy and remember to play by the ECL rules! Although the Pre-Season Tournament will not be under as strict scrutiny as the ECL, we want to remind you to respect your opponents and go about the games just as you would when playing real ECL league matchups. If teams are tied in points after the group stage, we will utilize these usual tie-breakers: Wins (including OT-wins) Head-to-head record (points in mutual games) Goal difference (across all games played) Scored goals (across all games played) Edit: When searching, leave the Grudge Match setting off. Regarding traits and abilities About a month ago we announced that we would approach NHL 25 as a new game and that the starting point for conversation would be that there are no bans on traits or abilities. As this didn't seem to generate much of a conversation, we announced that we are sticking to this decision. Thus, all traits and abilities are available until further notice. That being said, our announcement stirred up a lot of conversation with players who had missed the original announcement and invitation to discuss. Please use the below link to join the conversation and voice your opinion. Player Ability Bans - ECL '25 Season Discussion Uniform and logo unlocks for organizations This form is intended for organizations associated with SportsGamer to request primarily uniform and logo unlocks in order to represent their team appropriately. Here is a link for the unlocks form: https://forms.gle/TRy9PkVwh13gqMGs5 The ECL is the pinnacle of European NHL esports. The abbreviation stands for the European Championship League and it features NHL 6v6 esports in five divisions aimed at various skill levels. Every player, including the goalies, is controlled by a human. League games are played in the EASHL mode and the platform is PlayStation and Xbox. ECL has been played since 2015, so the upcoming season is already the 17th. The latest addition to the ECL product family is a 1v1 tournament, where Europe's best solo players fight for the championship. ECL 1v1 has been played since the ECL '23 Winter season. Basic information/requirements of ECL: Regional restrictions: ECL is a European tournament format, however, we do not necessarily exclude players located in North America or Asia. A European server will always be used. We reserve the right to exclude teams or players in case of severe connection issues. Individual requirements: Each player needs to have an account at SportsGamer.GG and create their personal player card. ECL licenses: Teams in ECL Elite & ECL Pro, ECL Lite, and ECL Core will require their respective ECL ‘25: Winter team licenses in order to play. In addition, every player in the above-mentioned divisions needs to have a valid ECL ‘25: Player License or ECL ‘25: Winter Player License before taking the ice. Players in ECL Neo require only an ECL '25: Winter Neo Player License. The ECL '25 Pre-Season tournament does not require the license, but purchasing the license early on is recommended for faster processing. Rules: The ECL '25 rulebook will be published closer to the season, you can check out last season's rules here. For a more extensive overview of the ECL as a whole, check out our “What is the ECL?” news story released a few weeks back. We hope you're as excited as we are to get back into the action - good luck out there, and have fun!1 point -

lol goalie should come out to that shot to get self chance to stop, and bad defense, but also, there you can see that puck just go trought defense stick its not good, in this game defense play big role because its so easy to score on goalies. if you give guys open shots, open tips, open everything, its goes in no matter what. like its could be normal, if we could adjust builds to that, so its force as to do some changes in builds to play against some tipper lover teams and close quarters or what. but there is none counter for it (please ask to EA so they explain how to counter it). i used lightwork, no tee, and put up my vision high, recovery high rbc high nothing helps. no abilities counters skaters op abilities, we are just useless... so its the only right thing to ban it from using, so there is no akwardly stupid goals in ecl - goalie skill doesnt even matter its only your defense how good, how many open shots you got, how close they let them come and so on. if there is 50/50 chance its always in skaters favor, goal gonna be there welcome in close quarters opens doors.1 point

Thanks for your perspective. People must have missed the original communication (1, 2) which stated the starting point is that there are no bans (quote below). Either way, we urge people and teams of any and every opinion to share their thoughts and discuss their opinions. Don't assume that one or two people sharing your opinion (whatever it may be) is enough to make a mark. Also, I want to emphasize that we are not only having this discussion for our community and ECL season, but any details and videos you can provide regarding why you think trait X is broken, we can share those with the gameplay team at EA and hopefully make a difference and see improvements in the game. This is one of the reasons I keep emphasizing the importance of the constructiveness of the conversation, aside from making yourselves understood in the right context.1 point

For those criticizing the decision, this conversation has been available for over a month and five people have weighed in on the bans. Perhaps the question didn’t reach a big enough portion of the players, but it was communicated from the start that the starting point is that there will be no bans and that this thread on the forums is the right place to argument for what and why it should be banned. A poll is a good idea on paper, but we want to make sure we are making decisions based on constructive conversations and analysis rather than an opinion might just be echoed by people who haven’t even tried the traits they are voting against. I’m glad this conversation has now got some more activity, so please keep the discussion active and constructive!1 point

First of all, is anyone having success in finding 6v6 games quickly or consistently? Sometimes we find games very quickly and sometimes we have to search for quite some time. I don't know if its about luck or what...or the positions of the stars and the moon? Who knows...(Maybe EA does). We doing Crossplay: Enabled or Disabled? From our experience it doesn't really matter. Any "designated searchers" on your teams having more success? Haven't paid attention, but sometimes when I am the room leader we move to some weird vortex and we are not able to find an opponent. When we switch the room leader without resetting the dressing room it instantly finds a game? This is strange, I have all my ports opened from the router etc. Are people just doing privately setup BO3s or BO5s? We try to ask different teams to play Bo3's if we don't find any decent opponent... But it is a bit of "työmaa" aka construction site try to arrange these games.. If so, what general codes are we using for those Private games (there seems to be a few different ones out there)? Maybe we could think of some NEW unique passwords for the same level opponents, for an example: nhlgamerLITE would be for core-lite, nhlgamerPRO for top lite/pro qualiteams and pro teams etc. If anyone has a good idea about the password thing, please enlighten us! The few different ones we have right now doesn't seem to work as some teams are not using them correctly at all.1 point
