  2. LA Announcement: Certain Player Abilities to be banned in eHSM, SCL and ECL '23 Spring

    in SportsGamer

    Posted · Edited by tbnantti

    After banning CQ, something must be done about goalie abilities. Sure, you can say you can run a sniper build or dump points in shots, but the fact is you NEED those points for speed and acceleration because that's what the meta is. You need chances first to even attempt to score goals.

     

    The same logic could be applied to goalies if their abilities were banned: if you want to save snipes, put points in glove/blocker high. They don't have to make such a decision now. Goalies are already terribly OP on straight snipes from the slot.

    I don't necessarily think the difference will be as major as people are making it out to be, but if we're going to start banning abilities we should do it the right way.

    Sorry so its okay in your mind that Elite 8 teams pay fees which is 4k total and get prizepool of +10k and lite teams (64)pay  12,8k and get prizepool of 3k? 😂 I thought that Elite and Pro teams pay more so thath they can have better prices and more competitive/professional experience.

    And example from last season core had 70 something teams and goal was to get 32 teams to pay 50€ each (means 8 players per team 7,25€ per player) and that didn’t happen, what do you guys think happens now? Not even including the transfer from ps4 to ps5…

     

    First of all, there are 16 teams in Elite, not 8. And yes, like I said in my message I do think it's fine because it's the only way to ensure the integrity of the competition. That, or expand the divisions.

    If we go down that road of logic, it's "unfair" that Lite has a prize pool at all considering we're talking about the 49th best team in Europe with the Lite winner. In what other esport is that possible?

    Elite has to remain the crown jewel that teams aspire to reach.

    Surely people realize that if the prize pool in the lower divisions was higher, the top teams would just drop down in divisions? The player fees go into a general pool anyway to accommodate everything that SG is doing and are not marked to a specific division. At least that's how I see it.

    Would it be fine if we merged the Elite and Pro divisions to "justify" the prize pool in the highest league? The only way it would change things is (probably) that the Elite teams would still populate the finishing places with a prize pool.

    Before anyone chimes in saying I play in Elite and that somehow makes my points moot: we're not exactly favorites to touch the money at the moment.

    All in all I think it's a good thing to monetize what SG is doing to ensure the future of this operation that we've enjoyed for free for far too long.

    Sorry if someone quotes me and I don't reply, as I've tried to keep my mouth shut about this as debates devolve into playground insults in this community far too often. Mea culpa for that partially as well. 

     

    Edit: I do understand the frustration for players in the lower divisions who play for fun, but the fees don't take that away from you. You can still play EASHL if you think the fee is too high. And I mean that in the nicest way possible. These (higher) fees have been mandatory for players in the higher divisions for some time.

    Guys, this article contains a bunch of subjective statements which seem to have triggered you in one way or another. I like that! Shows that you care about what you do and in turn I believe that was also the intention of the writer to stir the pot a little. Now it's up to you to prove these statements wrong in the upcoming games.

    However, if you have a problem with content that we put out, please shoot me a DM and we can discuss your contribution to the community on that part. 

    I think it's quite arrogant to come up with such a passive-aggressive comment after some criticism that most of the Lite-community feels is warranted.

    While the community appreciates all the content you guys put out, it's not the first time these write-ups elicit reactions that question whether or not the writers even follow the league.

  11. IS Cup 4 Finals Recap

    in SportsGamer

    Posted

    Game 5 of the Symphony-Butterfly series was not decided in overtime and the series was not tied at that point. That was game 4.

     

    Also no mention of the sickest moment in the whole tournament, Hansu's breakaway save on jergelii with the series on the line? 🙄

  13. NHL 20: In-depth Q&A with Producer Clement Kwong

    Really good and informative video! But one thing I really wanna know is when the developers will realize that the ammount of features like HUT, EASHL etc is reached and start to focus on the frequently asked 'small' features like mentioned in the video: EASHL practice mode, saving your lineup in versus and much more.

    It feels like they always have excuses for not adding these small but SO important things to the game. Imo the devolopers are focusing on the wrong things.

    Loved the beta gameplay but adding all these small things would make it a super good game. 

    And while I'm at it, they should really consider making NHL a title that's not released every year, just keep on updating it like Fortnite for example.

    It is obvious that they have to divide their resources between what the core/"pro" audience want from the game and what the casuals want. From what I gathered from the interview, they do realize franchise mode isn't necessarily a thing that the players in NHLGamer want (for example), but it is in an informed decision made to please a broader audience. What I do like, is this year they've really put the spotlight on gameplay and improving gameplay, which is something - I would assume - most people here want.

    Both of the sections I have bolded are also monetized, so they would still need to make money somehow, which make these two ideas feel mutually exclusive. If NHL isn't released every year, they would need to increase monetized content (HUT content etc).

    Why not?

    Edit: Or do you mean that the puck deflects into the stands after you have accidentally shot on the back of your own net?

    Yeah, the wording was a bit weird as I typed the message out in a rush. I mean the puck takes a deflection off the back of the net and goes into the stands.

  20. League Administration Rulings

    in ECL

    Posted

    One-game ban for taking a shot after the whistle can not go into the rulebook as is. It is quite an easy mistake to commit after an offside call (for example) and going by the book, you'd have to suspend players for it.

    Slashing after the whistle & challenging a player to a fight you can't really do accidentally, so those are fine to include.
