Hi Gamers, As communicated previously, the League Administration has come to the decision that once the current ECL season has finished (end of day Thursday), any subsequent tournaments will be played with all X-factors banned. We have come to this decision based on community feedback, as well as examining the current trend of EA Sports themselves, with the battle pass becoming more and more pay-to-win - an idea that we at SportsGamer vehemently disagree with. Furthermore, a key aspect that we weighed up was the potential pros and cons of instituting a variable ban list depending on community feedback, and which traits they viewed as overpowered and which ones they viewed as underpowered. While in a perfect world we would of course like to allow players to play with minimal restrictions and be more in line with what EA envisioned for the game, we felt that considering the murkiness of some traits, and the general lack of information provided by EA as to how each trait fundamentally works (as well as interaction with others), that any discussions down the line would become prone to misinformation and negativity towards other players. As we head into the upcoming tournaments, we’d like to share a quick reminder of the current passwords to use when applying for daily competitive training games: ECLPro – for Elite / Pro and Pro / Elite Qualifying teams ECLLite – for Lite / Core teams ECLNeo – for Neo teams While we understand the desire to challenge yourself and want to play tougher teams, please respect the divisions as mentioned above for use with each password. The whole point of the password system is diminished if, for example, Core teams use the Pro password, and so on. Please also remember to avoid using abilities and special builds when playing these training games. This helps ensure fair and consistent gameplay across all divisions. Information about the upcoming ECL '26: Spring season will be available soon, so now is a good time to start thinking about your updated line-ups, if you haven't already. Thank you for your cooperation — and have fun out there! Thanks, League Administration21 points -

I believe this is mainly about Hockey IQ. Too many goalies today, even if they have played the position for five to ten years, do not move on long one timers. At the same time, they expect the game to bail them out with an ability and make the save for them. (Which it does today) I cannot even begin to count how many times I have been frustrated because a goalie fails to read a one timer that we skaters can see developing seconds in advance, from far away, and that should be an easy save. I do not have many games in net, but I am the defenseman who has blocked the most shots of all time on sportsgamer. And I honestly believe it is not that difficult to read the shooter’s lane. You just have to be in position before the shot is taken. In my opinion, you allow one timers as a goalie if you do not react before the puck is struck. If you stand still and your goalie freezes, then you have failed to read the play and your reaction time is too slow.If you have played goalie for about a year, this is something you should have learned by then. But what do I know, I am not a goalie. In the end, it is about getting your body behind the puck. Look at Stammer and Sere in the Elite final. It is chest to puck all the time. And when they failed, sponge was there, or it ended up as a goal.3 points

Best decision ever, now will see nothing but actual skilled players/goalie and not ppl that need perks to play 💪3 points

you are doing it every game, nothing new even more with stupid abilities, what makes goalie let in everything from 1m around3 points

Finaly, hopefully it will be always like that, good decision. i just a bit afraid of goalies, because seems like goalies without abilities is realy unbalanced and will let in more stupid shots, because core game of goalies is broken and abilities is helping them keep out of water and drowning.3 points

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 50-50.2 points

Good decision! From goalie perspective: Imo elite sponge and other save related abilities just gives you way too many unrealistic saves when you're out of position or just too late to one tees etc. Reason for funny looking goals against are weird animations, which have nothing to do with the abilities. And I think that is sadly just part of the game at this point. Rng just throws it at you when the code tells it's time for scoring😄 What I've tested without abilities, I had more balanced gameplay and more solid animations between the pipes.2 points

Just out of curiosity, have you ever watched a hockey game irl?2 points

But now it is purely skill versus skill, with no other handicaps involved. I do not understand what people are complaining about. Except for the fact that some players have started building their careers with the help of abilities that cover up their weaknesses, for example being able to execute a perfectly timed poke. Or other players who revived their careers because X factors compensated for their flaws. If you combine that with something like hybrid controls, where the game basically gives you perfect timing, then I understand why some players think this is terrible. Because now all the training wheels are gone. You schould not get help to be a better player with abilities in my opinion.2 points

Well it goes both ways, players will need to adapt and rebuild their skaters to be more deadly in scoring scenarios. The same goes around for goalies, now you have to be better positioned to actually make a flashy save etc. So no matter what you have to say about ''goalies will have a tougher time now'', it is the EXACT same thing for skaters, and this will bring out the most skilled players and goalies out there. If you feel like you need your Elite abilities in net, sorry but then it sounds like a ''you'' problem.2 points

TIKI TALK (Elite) We are looking for active D and G for upcoming tournaments. Experience from top Pro or Elite is hoped but not mandatory if you feel you could be right fit. What we expect from D -You are able to play 4 times a week between Sun-Thu ~20cet-22/23cet -You are able to communicate in games -You like to cycle the puck and play as a team (=tikitaka), we are not looking 4th forward or ballerina style of defender. Simple passing game is way to go. We prefer finnish players because of easier communication. Contact me here or discord Saviinainen

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.1 point

It is tho, the game will only be skillbased? No perks = only skill1 point

It really isn't, though. You need a game like Rocket League to get something like that or at least much closer to it. This is a tempting sentiment, right? Especially because people have teams or players they don't like so much, so obviously those teams or players will be bottom of the barrel once they can no longer rely on their beloved abilities. But we have both been around a long, long time. We have seen plenty of changes and their impact to the game, and I think we'll find history repeating itself. The players who were good using the traits will still be good going forward, and vice versa. Maybe there will be an adjustment period to get rid of certain bad habits from using the abilities. But eventually, I think we will simply have a different flavor of the game. Possibly a preferable one.1 point

Best news i heard in years The gameplay will be so much more fun And yes i have been playing without perks for some weeks now, it’s so much better1 point

yeah, just all core mechanics is bended to the skater side a lot, and core mechanics for goalies sucks, i dont know how it will end for goalies without abilities, need to test, but if we take in considiration hockey ultimate team and 1v1 versus matches, it will suck bad. Goalies is animation based, and EA made goalies designed to be played with abilities, to counter all the bs what skaters have, and with sponge, showstopper we actualy can save something, what we should save anyday. you talking about goalies skill issues, where you saw that goalie let in frontal shot without screen? like maybe on 10 shots 1 not like 50/50. i dont care about abilities, i just a bit worried about how goalies will act without abilities because ea sport dont wanted to make them core default good..1 point

My team Brynäs has played alot with no perks and you can still score alot against turtledefence. As a defender myself we cant have "Stick em up". It does the work for you. I play with no stick em up and I have to be good at it now. I thought that was what we wanted in esport?. When i play with "stick em up" it does everything for me. Without the abilities you have to choose if you want to shoot good or skate good as defender. Choose your points after your playstyle and I like that alot. For med abilities like "beauty backhand". "Stick em up". "Sponge". "Rocket" its like the ability does it for you.1 point
