Good job! Maybe the LA will give some assist points to you. I want to apologize for our stupid mistake. Btw also have to tell to whole community that after we saw our mistake, our player @Naikou88 spent whole night with our goalposts in his workroom and finally Checkmate has red goalpost😎 You can watch it (GFB not related to the case):

Now that we started with all this ingame color thing. Where is the rule where team helmet needs to be the same color as jerseys? Player without helmet is more disturbing than that post color stuff imo.

I also think a large part of the issue is the discrepancy between what top players want and what most of the (mostly NA) community in the EA forums wants.

Missing helmets are pretty annoying especially if away team has dark shoulders in their away jerseys so it's harder to distinguish players in the heat of the moment.

I agree. Another example is a player with a dark hair or a dark skin tone as an away team, while the home team has dark helmets. Or vice versa.

Thanks for the feedback. If this is a common consensus we are of course ready to look at the rule.

The Game Changers program itself isn't new, but if you're referring to the fact that currently both Game Changers that have daily contact with the dev team and provide feedback and content creators (that are not) are both branded as Game Changers - I agree they should not be called the same. I mean no offence by this to anyone, but it's simply confusing to those that are not in the program. I'm of course in a biased position, being a Game Changer (the first mentioned version), but I couldn't disagree more about the Game Changers (nor the developers) being clueless. Lots of people with different areas of expertise are giving both broad and detailed honest feedback on a daily basis. I agree this tuner is not what our NHLGamer community asked for, but sadly a big chunk of the critiques of the game have been spamming "bring back the beta tuner" and the studio decided to do that for a week to get the feedback. Let's face it - had they brought back only parts of the tuner, the same people would be complaining how "this is not the beta tuner". And thus here we are with the good and the bad parts of it. (These are my own observations and not some internal information) Be sure to fill out this survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/FZMVS62 However, note that you can only do it once - so best to wait until you have played enough to give your thorough opinion.

This just goes to show that EA and this new Game Changers program have no idea what they are doing with their game. 5 months of development out the window, as if feedback from previous months had nothing to work with. Unbelievable. But hey, as long as the they can milk the cash cow (hut) it's all good...

So it seems! Well that settles the logic. In terms of color blindness I find the wording of the goal post rule pretty.. funky. "..This is due to color blindness concerns where individuals would not be able to see the goal if it was a specific color". I mean, it's not like the posts suddenly became invisible. The way the deficiencies in color sight work is that it is simply harder to distinguish between certain colors, say red-green or green-brown - can be others, but these are the most common. So in fact it matters less to color blind people if the posts are green or red than it does to people with a normal color sight. Over the years I've noticed it is a very confusing topic for anyone with normal color sight. There are some good websites that can help one understand how it works, here is one: https://www.color-blindness.com/coblis-color-blindness-simulator/ For example, I won't pass the most well-know Ishihara test, being red-green color "blind", but I score maximum points in hue color tests, as I guess most with similar condition do. With a color sight deficiency people learn to recognize colors by contrast - which is why for people like me the helmet rule was great but the goal post rule is non-sensical.

Actually, I'd like to revise my comment. This gameplay is not 1.00 but some Frankenstein-y version of it. Reverting to the 1.00 tuner while keeping all the changes caused by game updates is a weird approach of comparing the "old" NHL 19 to the "new" NHL 19.

This i get. But what did they do with the original beta feedback then, if they now go back to it just to get feedback from 6 months old tuner? 🤔

True, the wording should include some reference to the distinguishability of the posts, rather than the basic visible / not visible which it alludes to at the moment. The rule was drawn up due to a complaint by a member who said that they couldn't easily tell the difference between the posts and the crease due to their colour-blindness if my memory serves me correctly, so in effect this rule kills two birds with one stone. It accounts for any colour-blindness issues, as well as stopping people from changing the posts to colours that blend in with other aspects of the rink.

Certainly not! I'm assuming the problem grows the further away the camera settings are.

Awesome! Just making sure I wont get a life time ban or anything.

Shouldn't be - it was removed for ECL 8 as far as I know.

The intention is very important here. In the cases which we have handled so far, the intent has clearly been to interfere with the player rather than play the puck.

I just doublechecked our recent ECL Games (Clowns on Ice) and found out that Checkmate, Rajatorpan Mafia and Gotham Knights haven't red goal Posts. You can watch it here: https://twitch.tv/birnenjoe

I'm not sure if tuner should make impact of this magnitude. When considering they did not change that much if we take EAs word. But now for 2 days game has been smooth and fast. Like connection is 100x better than 1.03. All clunkiness and delays are gone, passes go where i want etc....
