  1. I don't think this is even a debate. Many players have identified as their usernames for years long before anybody knew their real name. Usernames have been a part of gaming culture since it began. This discussion dismisses the entire history of online gaming.

    There are other points to make as well. Most people don't use real names on twitch, youtube or other viewing plattforms making the marketing for your channels kind of confusing if viewers can't connect directly to your online name. Also some of the players might be minors and should not really flex with their real names online.

    Just use your psn ID as your surname. .Jesus or whatever.

  2. What's clear is that no matter what EA creates the annual sales for the NHL-series lays around 1 million sold copies all plattforms combined.

    There is simple not enough incentive to actually make that much of an effort . Hell, NHL 15 on next-gen without all team based online modes included sold better than NHL 18.

     

    This is however also a positive thing, since you basically can do whatever you want and still not see any real changes in sales. In order words a perfect context for creativity. Rammer and his team is not creative tho. Let's face it, EA Sports Vancouver is not a talented studio, they are mediocre at best.The fault is not on those who sit on the money, but on the actual creative team behind the game. They do not need more time or more money. They need more and better ideas.

    I would be fine with shitty matchmaking if they actually made som drastic changes just for the fun of it. Instead they not only keep the shitty matchmaking, they also copy the slow game mechanics from previous titles.

    What confuses me is that from a business side of things a more arcadelike type of game would of course have a bigger potential to attract a younger audience and with that grow the sales a little bit. It's beyond me why they instead decided to devolop this advanced, slow paced truck-simulator year after year. 

    To the creator of topic. The problem is not the members of this site, since clearly we support the community and not the game. That is why we endure all the pain that the talentless Rammer and his team brings to the table. The problem is the rest outside the active community sites who do not care about originality or quality, but cares for the copyright of the NHL brand

     

    I think Rammer has to go. Bring back David Littman or whoever. Best advice I can give you is to share the game between your friends even more. That's the best way to bring down sales and honestly the only way.

    I did that when I started and it never actually worked. Maybe I'm just shit? 🤯

    Your shit at sitting in a bush? Well, of course it works. The hard part is killing the last guy, but as long as you farm some materials in the begining and have decent weapons it's a pretty smart way of winning a game. It's strangely appealing to sit in a bush and watch everyone else fight around you. Like going to the movies or something.

    Downside is ... You will probably never become better at the game. But hey, it's battle royale after all.

    Turns out too much bible actually eliminates you.

    :(

    Seems like the devil works through the finnish people this year. Let us pray (for or all that is holy and not finnish in this world) ...

    @Jesus has done well surviving the lotteries. Are you going to play as well? xD

     

    Edit: Well ok, the first round was played, actually. :$

    Well, if it is a lottery, maybe the best course of action is to not play the games.:ph34r:

    But turns out that the gods have been good. Won another series, but it's getting tough for sure.

  6. I think there is a point of expanding Elite division tho. Between 18-22 teams is a good amount. A larger elite division will put most of the focus on the Elite division in the community which is something that we want. A team should not gain as much hype for winning pro as of winning Elite. It will also be easier for good players to get into Elite, and not having them play in pro or lite due to limited rosters in Elite.

    This elite thinking that every game must be like a playoff final in terms of skill is kind of overrated. Most leagues have 5-6 elite teams in the highest division, 10 good and 5 bad teams. It builds hype for the truly big games between the top teams and also from time to time gives upsets when a lesser team beats one of the giants. Also fun when a lesser team (think Leicester) upsets the community and finish high in the standing. As it is right now, it doesn't matter if you finish high or low in the group stage making the group stage completely pointless , which is something Laser HT proved last year.

    To me there is a larger charm in this format. It gives the division character, something that the current Elite division lacks. It's not interesting tbh.

    And trolling should give you a few minus points. 9_9 Like I said, it was to give people a rough idea of how we could estimate a team's level objectively.

    I do agree with you. They already have a similar rep system in place for the your forum persona, but one for your player card is for sure much more interesting. Your idea is something that can personalize the experience of being part of nhlgamer immensely.

    Can just keep it simple. 1 p for every game played, 3 points for a goal, and 2 points for assists and 1 points per 10th hit and about 15 points for being part of a winning team in each division.

    Problem is that this perhaps takes some serious coding skills. But it's an interesting idea for sure that will work fine, since we all stick with our accounts on this website.

    I don't see a point in placing obviously stacked in lite only to destroy the teams, as it goes completely against the idea of the divisions in the first place. I know the staff underlined the desire for a certain type of longevity with teams, but I see that as merely limiting the competitiveness of the game. However, in order for this type of system to be possible, there has to be a specific way to rate teams and their level. There are various different ways to do that, but the simplest way would be to assign personal ratings to players and when a certain threshold is reached when the player ratings are added up, the team is granted access to Pro if there is room.

    Say, playing x games in elite the previous season grants a player y rating. On top of that, if he's a forward and finishes in the, say, top-20 in points, he gets z points on top of that. Have rules like this for every position, where the player ratings are in black and white, something tangible to judge a team's ability objectively. This is obviously just a rough example to give you an idea of how a team rating could be achieved through personal performance. 

    I do understand that some players in lite would actually relish the challenge of facing excellent teams in the lowest tier, so their voices should obviously be heard as well. 

    Excellent idea

    Goals scored without any assists should give a few extra bonus points IMO

  9. Yes. This is a very important option to implement.

    Reality of this community is ... teams come and go. We don't want to many good teams/players in Lite since it will be harder for new members to develop their game. and I fear many good players will lose interest as well when having to start over in lite every year.
