[NHL 24: Community Playtest Gameplay Updates - Thoughts]

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.

"Overwhelming feedback"? 10-15 players (mostly players from affected teams so the opinion is not very objective) is not agreeing out of what...close to 300 teams?

 

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?

Look at times like Ghetto Firebirds etc.

Would it be too harsh for a new team to start from Lite for an example?

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?
