The gameplay does not feel slow, since almost everyone is using a build with 97 speed etc.
I would like to test this out, since i think it would be more enjoyable.
100% agree, and this has to do with the new meta, everyone is rocking an 88kg build with 97 speed
Maybe “slow” is the wrong term to use, but I agree 100% with Savi. Right now it’s about waiting for the opponent to make a mistake while sitting in a turtle defense because you dont need to cover all the areas you had to before, then going full speed and crashing the net off the counterattack. When you don’t forecheck, the opponent are making motivation carpets
Allowing the golden abilities would at least bring something to the gameplay and it would also add more tactical plays and creativity.

I personally do not care much about abilities. The game is playable without them anyway.
But, right now the game feels a bit like Madden. Every time a PWF and a DFD/TWD meet in a puck battle it turns into a car crash.
I like hitting. Playing physical hockey is fun and it was already a big part of the last ECL season. But I honestly wonder if we are about to see some kind of tackling record in the next one?
Everyone is getting beaten up out there. It is not hockey anymore, it is organized chaos on ice.
Abilities will not fix this. The real question is if there are other ways to avoid the direction the gameplay is heading right now?
Because at this pace we might need helmets, shoulder pads and a seatbelt. Just in case the next puck battle turns into a traffic accident. 😂
When abilities were in the game, you at least saw some people using smaller players and different player types. Now the gameplay feels so slow that you almost have to use big players and just crash the net to score. Overall, the gameplay feels much slower. It also feels like you score more often by simply crashing the net with big players than by taking a shot from a well-played situation.
I think the gameplay would be much more enjoyable with golden abilities. All the tactical plays are now gone as you really don't need to defend shots from far away. Now its like "madden": hitting people, getting pressure, spinning in the corners and then forcing.
It's still playable, but it's not that fun anymore. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if fewer teams attend the next ECL. It was fun for the first couple of days, but now it just feels like the same shit every night.

I genuinely think there were some great ideas on how to make this decision in a much better way, whatever the outcome would have been.
Perhaps this is the best for the game. It’s impossible to say yet. Maybe we will actually like it much more, we’ll have to see.
BUT the way this was handled, like it seems with all the other decisions, was quite poor. We are all paying for this, so I would have at least hoped that the teams/captains had actually been asked what they really wanted, instead of making dictatorship-like decisions.
This was first announced too early (in the middle of the season) and then deleted after the reactions.
“We have come to this decision based on community feedback.”
I’m sorry, but this feels like total nonsense. Where did you get this feedback from? Not here. From what I read and understand in the comments, it’s more like 50-50.

If you have to make this change in the middle of the season why wont you ban all elite abilities then to make it fair? There is absolutely no point just banning certain abilities.
Elite stick em up is also a pay to win perk? Elite backhand is very broken. Elite sponge the same.
You can make a glitch goal with elite backhand shooting from the boards. Goalie goes to some weird animation..
So while your at it. Ban all the elite perks from skaters and goalies!

Guys, hate to say it but you’re wasting your time. There’s no way they’re banning anything this close to the start of the season. Go touch some grass or something else before the ECL starts.

Quick release need to ban.
Honestly, the more I’ve played the game, the more I’m leaning toward “ban them all.” For skaters and goalies.

Okay… so whose great idea was it to ban almost everything for skaters but nothing for goalies? I’ve only played the game for one night, and I’ve already seen countless desperation saves from goalies whose positioning was clearly off. It feels like they just stand in the middle and still manage to stop most one-timers, even when half the net is wide open. Maybe I haven’t played enough yet, but this has happened in every game so far.
Also, Elite Stick ‘Em Up seems a bit questionable… and you even get a speed boost from Send It (Receiver). Before any goalie or defender starts whining I’m only sharing my personal opinions here. I just think the banned abilities should be equal for everyone, also Goalies.
It feels really unfair that goalie traits are completely untouched at the moment, and I’d love to hear an explanation why?At the very least, ban all the elite abilities. In their current state, these abilities are ruining any sense of “competitive” gameplay and make the game feel more arcade-like with all the speed boosts and other nonsense. It’s like Super Mario grabbing a star suddenly you’re immortal and super fast :D.

The gameplay is actually best in years, it's not all about hustle anymore. Ofc there are always some tweaking, but the biggest problems right now are on the matchmaking side and extremely slow menus. They should fix these as priority.
- Removing the room size: exact is the dumbest decision they've made since they completely removed eashl from nhl 15 back in the days.
- Servers are messed up? Finnish vs Finnish team plays on the Swedish server? Happens all the time.
- Grudge is a bit meh and it is very broken, it is always the center at least for us :D.
- Timed onetees are very overpowered.
- Stick lift need some adjustment, you can spam it quite a bit.
- Inconsistent penalties as mentioned before.
- Weird animations at the wrong time. We get a penalty and the replay shows the last goal.
All in all it's impossible to give more feedback as searching for an opponent is a nightmare at the moment. We spend much more time in the menus than in-game.

Yeah 20€-100€ isnt that big of a deal to pay. However, when you know what you get in return for that money its getting pretty funny. For lower divisions the return is basically just a platform where to schedule games and nothing else.
Its more of an principle not to pay this kind of fee’s.
You know many people comment that just dont go out for one night or just dont buy that case of beer or something but i can feed my two kids for a week with 45€ to give some perspective.
Also the timing for these increased fees could have been better. First of all everyone had to buy PS5's, then of course the game and now the increased team licenses plus the player licenses. That's a lot of money.
I really understand the frustration of the lower divisions especially compared to the price pool. This also affects us who play Pro. Now "only" the top 8 get something back.
For most I don't think it's about that players can't afford to pay the fees, but it's a matter of principles.Maybe sportsgamer could consider to be more open to the comminity about where the money will be used for? We all do understand there are expenses, but the lack of information causes the amount of negativity atm..

Nope! from now. You can can still change it. Do the right thing from the start if you already can see that this is wrong and that it will be changed in the future.
Yes I did. You could just have said "this is wrong, I want to play about it". You didn't, same as your team.
First of all the team is not mine and im not the captain of the team just a member. Please tell me what would my comments change at this point? These are all my personal opinions. What do you want me to say that you would be happy? Can I say it more clearly, I think no one deserves a free spot.

How about ECL 9 and Delusion (now hREDS)?
That season they were über dominant in the Pro, imagine putting that kind of team in Lite.. Would Lite teams enjoy playing against that kind of team and losing 20-0? They were winning in Pro by over 10 goals many occasions (like 17-5 and 13-1).
If hREDS formed today would you seriously put them to Lite?
Exactly, this is the hard part of this whole "how to change" the qualifier system that works for everyone. Ofc everyone understands that a "super" team like that doesn't belong to play in lite. These kind of teams (Elite level) aren't established too often. But if we want to make a change, we need to do it at some point.

How would you personally formulate the team ownership rule?
My point was by no means to have any kind of disrespect for the new teams, I know they are very good and for sure could have success in PRO, but feels a bit unfair for all the teams who are fighting their ways from the lower divisions. Was more of a friendly advice. Look at teams like Ghetto Firebirds etc. Of course sometimes changes in the lineup is necessary.
But when you change the name and the whole roster its a bit weird. I dont know about how the rule would go, but maybe the staff would have to take a look at the teams who are changing basically everything. Maybe a Captain + some old members at least. minimum. Would it be too harsh for a new team to start from Lite for an example? All ideas are welcome! I advice everyone to give their ideas for making these tournaments better for everyone.

It's just that your team doesn't deserve a spot in PRO without qualification (but I really understand why you and imosi are fighting about it, cuz you got it for free) compared with SSK who almost reached the playoffs in PRO and NOW needs to battle for their spot.
It makes no fucking sense that a team in LITE who needed 10 more wins to even win the LITE division getting a spot for free in a higher division when a team who almost reached the playoffs in the higher division needs to fight for the spot in a qualification to even stay there.
It's fucked up for real.
I would love to see you guys fight about this PRO spot vs Royal HT and their "Elite" roster.
But once again, congratz.
Did you read my comment at all? I am personally against free spots. I dont think any of the "free spot" teams are specially proud of getting promoted this way. We didnt make the rules, so I think your comments "blaming" us for getting a promotion is a bit strange..

B. If 25 team Qualifier is to big and take too long time. Let the highest Pro seeded teams from the Qualifiers get those open Pro spots and replace them in the Qualifiers with the 5 Lite teams. This would feel more fair and you'd have time until next ECL to overhaul these Qualifer rules and it's flow.
I am sorry, but what is the logic here?
Personally ive played in lite, pro and elite. I dont see much of a skill difference between top 8 lite and most of the pro teams (maybe not top 4-8). At least before. Maybe its different now and I am completely wrong, who knows..
I see that the biggest skill difference is pro -> elite.Anyway.. How are these ideas fair for the ”old” teams, who played very long seasons just to play in the same qualify with a team that is maybe 1-4 weeks old (Wildcard)? Why would any team "deserve" a free spot?
On a personal level I also see it a bit odd, that the captain is enough to ”own” the team and its enough to keep the team spot. Just kick the whole team and get new players in after a ”bad” season? I dont think that is the key for a good success in a long run.
Overall I find the new system is a good idea and its main idea, which is getting rid of these free spots.
Unfortunately this isnt anything new and this has happened before every new ecl season. This is why need these new ideas and systems.
However at the moment the ”new system” is maybe a bit too confusing and hard to understand.
Or maybe im just dumb😬..

Well.. that's what you get when you make a new team after every tournament 😘. Fila also started from Pro . I understand it must be frustrating for sure, but same rules(ish) for everyone.

I think it would be fair for all the remaining teams to extend the time with one day and make Thursday a game day.
The pairs came out on Thursday 21 cet and the schedule wasn't even ready? It was clearly impossible to schedule game that day.
So now you make us play the series in only 6 days and 2 of these days are weekend days. So that makes it only 4 days, because nobody plays ecl on Friday and Saturday, even Sunday is a bad day for ECL.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: ECL ’26: Spring - All Abilities Banned
in ECL
Posted
You do have an excellent point, but the problem is the animations. You can only unlock certain animations with abilities, and you cannot do anything about it even if you have a sniper with over 90 wrist shots. It wasn't like that in NHL 25, for example if I remember right. It has been 8 days now and I've been playing quite much. The meta has clearly changed and it's boring.
Think it this way.. let's say for an example like CS2 when certain weapons or movement or headshot mechanics are gated behind skins. Just like in CS2, where some players feel restricted because they don’t have the “right” loadout or gear, in NHL 26 you’re limited by abilities, not skill.
Like Savi said, there are plenty of people who thought the previously banned set of abilities was just fine, even in the Elite Division. Almost everyone I've been talking to are saying something different and would be just fine even with only golden abilities. I know that the elite players especially wanted to get rid of the elite sponge but for the rest I really don't know.
So I’m really curious..who are these people or this “majority”? It makes absolutely no sense.
