One of the most likable guys in community history and a damn good goalie as well! Well deserved Josh. 😍

[ECL '23 brings 1v1, bigger prizes and World Finals to the table - are you ready to ramp things up to the next level?]

I'm kind of in the neutral about this. I'm very competitive and am all in for bigger prize pools, but having played the last few tournaments in Core, understand the arguments for the license removals.

If and when we are going down the route of licenses and fees for tournaments, i truly think the community will and probably should be divided. SportsGamer is heading towards professionalism, and that costs money. This was bound to happen.

 Maybe SportsGamer could come up with tournaments for those who are ACTUALLY competitive, and then separate ones for those who just want to play somewhat competitive hockey without paying or paying too much. For example from Lite upwards it could be for only those who want to pay the "bigger" license fees for bigger prize pools, and Core and/or Neo could stay free or have very minor license fees? This could also create a need for new league(s) for both sets of categories.

The fees also create issues in the functionality of the tournaments. Have you seen leagues with payments (competitive leagues) where the teams can shift and change the schedule of the games as they want, multiple times? Which is why charging Core teams for example is very problematic since most just play for fun with a little competitive aspect brought in by the league and some have difficult work schedules. This goes for the players in other divisions too, of course but at least it would be their choice.

All i'm saying is this: The addition of fees kind of forcefully casts all of the playerbase into the same mold. Everybody wants the competitive side of the leagues, but for some the fees and licenses are too much and should be resolved somehow.

[Send us your feedback/questions to the NHL developers!]

Why isn't EASHL practise mode in the game? Has there been any discussions on adding it back in, and if so, when could it happen? It was such a useful tool back on old-gen, even though it was pretty bare bones.

By adding some gameplay scenarious(faceoffs, breakout etc.) to choose from, it would recieve alot of attention from 6v6 players.
