[NHL 22: Which Version Should I Get?]

Nice to see EA haven't gone soft on us from the pandemic or from the lack of nextgen consoles. Instead of keeping the grossgen in the game, in a classy EA move they charge extra 30 euros from people in hopes of getting a new console during the next year or extra 20 euros from people who already have the new console but still have friends on the last console and wanna play with them... but hey at least we finally got The Frostbite, am i right?

Pro Group 1 12th place team SSK was 4 points from a playoff spot, and they are going to have to go through qualifiers when PENTA (highest seed eliminated in Lite top16 so 9th I guess) gets to go straight to Pro.

I love that someone pointed this discrepancy out. As if being top-16 in Lite is somehow better than already competing Pro... 🙃

Perhaps for next season all (except for auto-promoted) spots should be given out through the qualifiers rather than moving teams before them(?).

I also love that they're asking this after already making the decision for the upcoming tournament.

[New division and promotion structure [UPDATED 17/03/21]]

So now basically Neo is new Lite, and Lite and Core are where teams fall through gaps instead of being stepping stones towards Elite. TLDR

No crossplay either?

I always thought it was just a joke that someday EA will try to sell NHL game with just new lacrosse skill move, but apparently that day is actually here...

Straight spot in elite would have been a bit... radical.

Too soon?

[NHL 20: Content Update - October 1st]

It's nice to get new jerseys (even tho some of them are still close to 10 years old designs) and new camera angles (for replays that nobody watches). But why don't they fix some real issues for a change, like stick lifting, poke checking, ridiculous charging penalties or those glitch goals through "five hole" where you don't even have to shoot?

Something we are working on / looking into.... same answers every year, wtf do the guys at ea sports do?

They made battle royale mode. Thank god for that. 5/5 would recommend.

It's really amazing how out of touch EA seems to be when it comes to prioritizing what to use their "limited time" to work on between title releases...

Frostbite?

PC release?

Crossplay against other platforms like Fortnite, Rocket League and CODMW is doing already?

Funny. Since when has EA started testing anything other than their customers' wallet and patience?

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.

This is what i mean, that does EA have any vision of their own what they want NHL series to be like, or are they always going to go with whatever their forums think? And how do they differentiate right feedback from wrong then?

Listening to players is one thing, but to hit reset button (even if only temporarily) like this and hope for different feedback than last time is going overboard.

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)

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? 🤔

[NHL 19 Tuner Rollback (Limited duration)]

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...

Don't have any exact numbers, but I think that appr. 80% of the games we played this past season were re-schedualed. If this continues over the next season, I would rather see that you have like 2-3 opponents that you have to play within a week instead of having a schedual with set times

YES. Please, make this happen.

Also, get rid of that useless minium amount of players in a team rule. Many teams insist of using their top-6 anyway so practically it doesn't help with scheduling at all.

Best game in the history of NHL gaming will always be NHL 94 on Sega Mega Drive for it's groundbreaking introducement of  "one timer, an authentic hockey move where a player shoots the puck directly off of a pass." 😍

Thanks for not even answering to my questions and statements. 9 month ban for the first violation of rules in 3 years. Ridicoulous
