    Looks like you have missed the point that with 4 divisions these new teams would not have to start at the lowest level. With 3 divisions options are 1. make those Elite guys start in Lite with new comers who barely now the buttons. 2. Let Elite guys start in PRO... but on my opinion this encourages to break up teams and start new ones too much. But if there is just two season per NHL i kind of get that it is necessary to be able to start in Pro. But hey, we want and need more ECL seasons. Cut off other tournaments if needed.

    And i seriously dont get with what logic have you got to conclusion that it would encourage teams to disband. It does the opposite.

    And it looks like you missed my point that a new team should absolutely always start from the lowest level. It's not encouraging that you don't have to start from the bottom with a new team? If there is division that you can just skip with your new team because you've played in a good team in the past? Does all new teams start from this new division or just some? If not all, how do you differentiate who gets to start from where? Face value?

    Looking forward a bit, if that new division has a team limit, such as 32 or whatever was suggested, someday that's going to become full like Pro is now. So do we then start to drop teams already there to Lite or don't let Lite champions promote, when by that same criteria (again; face value ?) one of these allegedly new better teams gets formed again and they should get to skip Lite and go straight to this new division? Or do we then just make 5th division to circumvent this exact same "problem" again? Or do we close our eyes and ears and believe hard enough that when number of teams and players rise, number good players doesn't and this will not be problem again in the future?

    I think that new teams should start from bottom of division table, and if they are good enough, they will get promoted. If they don't, then they clearly ain't good enough or as good as they think. Almost all teams got into playoffs last season in Lite, and i don't believe you can win or lose whole best-of-7 playoff series entirely by luck.

    3 divisions and if there is 3rd ECL season in a future, it's possible to make it into Elite in the same NHL game's lifespan.

    The point is that it is not fun to play against teams that are on totally different level. Skill cap between 80 teams is just too big. There is teams that have played together for years and teams that have players who are still learning buttons.

    That skill cap is always going to be there when elite and pro teams disband, and players from those teams start new teams. Creating new division just for that reason would go against the idea of divisions in the first place; encourage teams to stay together longer and not do exactly that, disband and make new team every season.

    Increase ECL Pro to 48 teams and keep the existing structure.

    Yes. Expanding PRO to 48 teams and keeping ELITE and LITE as they are now would be my way to go about it aswell. Just add third ECL season into lifespan of one NHL title.

    ELITE - Best of the best
    PRO - ELITE contenders and LITE proven teams
    LITE - New and just-for-fun teams

    I don't see what value adding forth division would bring, except for another hoop for teams to jump through with already limited time table for ECL tournaments.

  4. I heard that new COD Modern Warfare is bringing in crossplay across all 3 platforms (PC, PS4 & xBox), to help keep their PC playerbase alive longer. That could be something worth thinking about also in NHL, since NHL playerbase is quite small in comparison to let's say FIFA's. Bringing together PS4 and XBOX players on already small playerbase game like NHL could do the ip wonders, and especially for a tournament organizer such as NHLGamer.

    Also PC version would be great to see again, if crossplay was possible against players from other platforms as well. There is PC version to FIFA, so why not NHL?

  5. 6v6:

    • Realistic faceoffs: if center moves too soon in faceoff you should get changed away and have a winger take the faceoff instead. 2 min penalty from second jump in the same faceoff
    • Give goalie player control of 6th skater on the ice
    • Remove random penalties (elbowing, cross checking, charging). They are so inconsistent of the way you actually check that it doesn't make any sense to have them in 0 bots game mode.
    • Remove automated fight challenge after big hits.
    • Overall i'd like to see get rid of as much of random stuff in the game as possible that you have no real control over but that have major impact on the game.
    • Add in some sort of spectator mode to watch ongoing live games

     

    Edit: Oh yeah, and bring in the god damn Frostbite engine already!

    Network Performance Display Bug Fix
    We have identified a visual bug that is currently causing the Ping Response Time in the Network Performance screen to only display half of a user’s actual Ping Response Time.

    🙈🤣 

    This explains a lot. I don't think that has ever worked properly, as i've had worse connections with lower pings and vice versa. Feels like rolling a dice at this point.

  8. Since the poll changed i'll update my answer as well:

    Actual names - only Elite would gain from this since it's the only division more widely broadcasted. Forcing this to Pro and Lite as well would be irrelevant.

    Realistic names (not real names) - Pointless altogether.

    PSN IDs - If you want to force how player names are used in ALL divisions, i think this would be best way to go about it.

    Nicknames are widely used in other esports so going with market leaders is never bad idea. They are unique unlike real names and if that's not enough to distinguish players from each other there are also teams and jersey numbers to help with it. As in real hockey, everyone knows who number 8 for Washington Capitals is.

    Also, player names could be used as space for advertisement in casted tournaments, like in csgo for example.
