TLDR; Game is shit and stupid

Whatever decision will be made, there always will be guys for it and against it. So really no traits is a most universal thing to do in current situation. As from goalie perspective - i can say that if you have shitty defence, you can have all elite traits and still suck. Dont really care that much about traits tbh. Seams that bot is more stable without them on animations. Still fair game if skaters dont have traits then why goalies should have them? Let it be skill on skill.

Now you have to play by yourself and not behind traits 😊.

Not sure about the decision (I don't really have enough data on zero-ability games yet), but thanks for getting it out early as we all hoped.

Fantastic decision admins! 😍 Looking forward to get back into the ECL next season! 🍌

You cant do nothing to make this game work, its broken and whatever you do its still bad game. With abilities or without game anyway is poorly made and still happens bulshit on the ice. So to say with abilities is okey and without is not - game is worst in the last years, goalies act stupid in core gameplay and noone is fixing this stupid auto post hug even when we switch it off. i would say without abilities game is more forgiving for goalies and more goal line sitting works and breakaways is a lot easier now, but goalies seems slow and lot of times, my goalie dont even try to move on cross crease or onetimer, just stuck on the post for no reason, and its not timing problem lol. Games goes 24 shots 1 goal, almost every game goes to ot if team is decent enough to play on ice. The best decision is to just play as it is game without abilities, but game still will be lot of lucky shit, what makes nonsense. Its so hard to play goalie 26 because he is constantly fighting with you, if you post hug and go out of post hug, he jumps out on top of crease, amazing, when you see guy goes wraparound and you want fast hug posts, then goalie go to top of crease and you need to navigate your goalie back to the goal line and its fucking annoying. also sometimes, you want to just bfy slide to the post and he stuck on the post because you aimed your stick down and he stucked in animation, but your auto post hug is off... Or on breakaway, you get stuck on post hug animation for no reason, or cross crease shot where he jumps like fifa goalie for no reason - there is lot of bs what happens on goalies, and its already march and developers dont give a shit about that. They made goalies act more by ai, but put in dumbest ai i ever seen , even in dogma 2 this pawns is smarter then hockey goalies in 26. There is no reason to even debate about what is better what abilities to ban or not ban, game still be pretty shitty and skaters will always be better. and whatever you do game still be pretty luck based more then skill. Lets hope 27 gonna be better,but i doubt that, this guys is freakingly stupid and dont even give shit about their hockey game - i having less fun ever as goalie this game is not hockey even hut and 1v1 is peace of crap, i dont know how someone can play that, if not chel then this game is disaster, in chel its kinda playable, but not fun for sure, i dont know why guys telling they have so much fun this year to be goalie or even play this game as skater. This skater scoring also is not fun you learn some moves and it always goes in. How fun is that? or you shoot shoot and then beat with some stupid bs where puck hits your helmet drops down on your body and then flips in or whataver wierd goal and then you can be so happy about yourself - yeay i win this game, im so good. But actualy game just glitched your goal in or made goalie act stupid on easiest shot ever in game. Im not talking about onetimers and cross crease passes goals, yeah we are late or what but its actualy okey, it can happen, but when we let frontal goals and other easy shots from blue for some wierd reason because goalie just aims their save different side far away from side where puck going or stucking in stupid group up animation. Its not fun for sure and i cant understand how skaters can be happy playing this kinda game. Also even if you do all perfect you still cant be sure that easiest ever shot in game you will save every freaking time, and its make this game not fun, there dont matter how many hours you put in , how much training on position or game reading you put in, because its doesnt matter all comes down to your luck - maybe i will save everything tonight, but maybe i will save nothing at all. I dont know what they did to game, but goalies is disaster the worst after 23.
