While I agree that the shooting traits are powerful, they are still much better state than previous year (or start of this NHL) so I personally wouldn't complain about them. And as a goalie I really can't comprehend how good Truculence is so I won't have any opinion should it be banned as others will have better opinion than me. However I've seen some wild shit with Big Tipper. One time somebody shot from point and defender blocked the shot and because this the puck trickled extremely slow speed. Still somebody with this perk got their stick onto it and the puck went like rocket to the top corner ignoring all the physics. And of course as a goalie I've seen numerous times how somebody shoots puck 3 meters high and wide and still somebody with Big Tipper is able to deflect it into goal I mean most of the perks require you to have some skill to pull it off. For example shooting perks require good positioning and understanding when and where to shoot. Even Truculence requires you to able to hit checks. However with gold Big Tipper player becomes immediately god tier finisher, with him just literally standing there doing nothing. Imo NPC-tier perk.

Had no packet loss this night, felt good.

Today got 8 % packet loss on Helsinki server, it’s pretty bad

I actually noticed the change 1-2 weeks ago. We were playing drafts and I got randomly kicked out from dressing room and EA servers. Ever since I've had those random micro stutters and some times also 2 % packet loss. 1st I thought it was linked to EA servers but as I also have DNA, ISP might be the problem here. For me it has been playable though but I feel a bit handicapped specially if this happens during golden one tee.

As a goalie I should mention, that the new anticipation system takes ages to activate. I don't have exact timing but it was something like a whole second in beta so you can't react with it in fast one-timers or other hard situations. This means if they would add back the risk thing, you as a goalie would have 20 % chance to make the right anticipation (+ you get your saving ability lowered if incorrect) and you would have to do this a whole second before the shot which at least in Elite is impossible as the puck moves so fast. Anyone who can do math can see that it would be awful odds for the goalie and mathematically you should never use the system if risk is involved. Other side of the coin is that now you can keep it on all the time without penalty and it gives boost on one direction and by keeping it on, you wouldn't have to wait for the set up time it takes. Because of this the set up should be instant so goalies wouldn't have to hold the right stick whole game as it brings the same results. I did only some testing with this new anticipation system in beta as the energy was mostly learning the now optional goalie control scheme, but I did find it almost useless as the goalie would still hoover the puck in even if in rightly positioned and anticipated. Gotta test more after the buffs tho and they were only my own experiences.

Most of the answers to this poll will be from forwards (roughly 50 % of the community as it is 3/6 of the team). Because of this I'm pretty sure most of them won't have close quarters on their list (as this post demonstrates). But if the point is make ''game more enjoyable'' it would be absurd if the close quarters wouldn't be banned as it has been arguably broken since it came in NHL 22. Still it's pretty funny that there wasn't any outcry about X-Factors when goal scoring was super easy in NHL 22 and close quarters being broken as it is. I mean the amount of the goals in NHL 22 was done through goalie using close quarters was... Well let's say it was a lot. And even though I think it's not as bad as last year, it's still badly balanced from the goalie perspective. Personally I think this poll is flawed as it doesn't take to account what position player plays. Obviously forwards, defenders and goalies have different opinions at least on some level. I'm kinda opposite on this as I wouldn't actually ban any of the X-Factors, not even close quarters (even though it is a bullshit trait). But if we are going this route, I think truculence, unstoppable force, big tipper and close quarters is the way to go. But if this would happen, I would predict that there will be big surge of one tees, especially gold ones.

Free G. Still considering my options for the next season. Had some difficulties in the beginning adapting to this new NHL as I had to make total revamp to my playing style and to be honest I was mostly stinky ass in the net for the starting days because of this. But now I feel that my training is starting to show and I feel better and better every night so I’m very confident and hopeful for the future. And I’m fucking super motivated for this NHL 💪🏼

Yeah so we were playing 6v6 against ”Dinamo Riga” aka. ”Latvian Warriors” at the late night. We were leading the game 4-2 when syncing error occured. Normally the losing team would leave but in this case they lied to us how they turned PS off and went to bed. Had a little chat with the captain where he said he ”was in bed” and using ”PS app”. Well after few hours of waiting I checked if the game was still running and noticed that you can actually see who are still in the game if you press ”report content”. And surprise surprise there was 4 guys from the opposing team waiting us to leave to get experience and ranking including the captain I had been previously talking and who said his ”PS is off”. Yeah nobody cares about club ranking or experience but this is a matter of principal especially when both teams are part of this NHLGamer community. These guys just make me physically ill. Just pathetic. I would recommend avoiding this team when playing 6s.

Free G. Competitive and long term team thx.

Same game with better graphics and boosted perks. Lazy af

28 yo free G.

I'd say 70+ likes on Mikka's post is pretty ''overwhelming'' feedback 😆😆? Or do you usually see this many likes on ANY post here @NG?

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?

Well, things didn’t go as I hoped but life truly does teach 😂 So yeah, free goalie Elite/ Pro. Extremely motivated to play and grind. Ready to try-out. Available for games every day. Cheers ✌

We are possibly still looking a right handed LW for a STARTER ROLE. We are also interested in a backup DEFENDER and it's a huge plus if you are able to play both LD/RD. Contact: @FINSeRe and/ or @Majuri20

Nordic Blizzard is back! Last time Nordic Blizzard has been seen in the ice was ECL season 3 and now is time to finally come back. We are the champions from ECL season 1 and we are trying to be successful once again. We are building this team to have the skill level to compete on the top of the Pro-standings from the get-go but we are also trying to build this team for the long term and hopefully we are able to see ourselves in Elite once again. We are going to participate in the Pro-qualifiers so we are putting together a skilled but tightly knitted group. For now we are searching for: 1 x starting LW/C 1x starting RD We hope that you have at least experience from Lite as we don't want to shy away from ''hidden gems'' but in reality it would probably be best if you had Elite or Pro experience to keep up. If you got interested contact: @FINSeRe or/ and @Majuri20 here.

Free goalie for ECL (and possibly for other tournaments). Really hoping for a chance to play and show myself in Elite, but also interested in Pro teams. I’m extremely active and experienced and I’d really like to find a team where I could stay for extended period of time since I tend to be extremely loyal for the team I play for. I’m ready to prove myself and open for any try-outs. Playercard: https://nhlgamer.com/players/23 Fluent in English and Finnish.

After having extremely strong preseason I have been put into a situation where I’m really not happy and so I have decided to move on and search a fresh start in some other team. I’m probably one of the most experienced goalies, if not the experienced, since I have been playing goalie position from NHL 12 ’til this day. Despite of me having this kind of experience I just turned 28 years old last month, so I feel that I’m pretty much in my prime age and I have lots to give to my new team and I can assure you that my hands won't shake in any situation. I have won Elite, Pro and Lite -leagues each once and my last Elite experience was from ECL season 9 with Miracle. I have been playing for the 2 past seasons for Rookie Mistakes in Pro. I’m extremely loyal player who tends to stay in the same team for a longer periods of time. But since my free agency is happening middle of the season I’m also willing to come in for a shorter stint. I'm very chill person who gets along with pretty much all players and with me you won't be finding any drama or bullshit. I'm also fluent in Finnish and English. Here are my ECL goalie all time stats: I have felt extremely strong and confident when standing between the pipes in NHL 21 and I really feel this is the best NHL for me personally as a goalie. I have the highest SV% in regular EASHL 6v6 games from the nordic server so even if they haven't been real ECL games it can tell I'm finding the puck in net this year. Just give me a shot and you might be surprised. Link to my NHLGamer player profile: https://nhlgamer.com/players/23
