    Please give your feed back on 3v3 for EASHL!

    If you have video to support your feed back please share that as well!

    My thoughts thus far;
    • Love the open space!
    • Periods are a touch too long
    • Would rather see penalty shots than a PP. Anything to minimize CPUs I love.

    I agree. I think 2 5 min halves would be 100x better in my opinion.

    I really like the PS idea vs the PP. Giving them a cpu and you a cpu literally helps them more. Then it's 4 v 4 for however long after that. That's brutal

    It would be cool to be able to use the smaller rink in EASHL I think.

    Agree with all your points brodie, Turn up the game speed a tiny bit but other than that I've been loving EASHL 3v3

    Game play is pretty good other than puck pick is kind of lacking. Smaller rinks would be cool. Something like NHL 3s for eashl would be sweet

    There are issues, but I love the mode in general. So many times we'll only have 3 or 4 guys on and debate whether we want to go play drops (ugh) or Rocket League (Rocket League almost always wins vs drops). Being able to fire up a 3v3 club game will definitely allow my club to play more games.

    I do agree that it needs to be shorter. Maybe cut the period times in half -- 3 x 10 instead of 3 x 20. A full 60 of 3-on-3 can feel quite long.

    3 vs 3 is amazing fun for people who like to score and cherry pick the mode is like OT but I like it It gives me the chance to go up as a defensemen.

    They should let you search G in all eashl drop in modes not just 6s , I understand that it is possible to play G when you have a full squad but I'm talking when no ones on and you want to play 3s , I only play G so it frustrates me

    Gonna echo everyones thoughts here, should be about half the time of a regular 6v6, most 6v6 games are about 30 mins real time so it would be nice to have a shorter game mode.

    Ps instead of penalty is a great idea as well.

    I would like to be able to play any player class at any position, as it is right now you have to play 2f's and 1 d, you should be able to play a puck moving defenseman on the wing if you want, as many nhl teams play 1f 2d or even 3d sometimes, or 3f's.

    Also i assume it will be fixed for the main game but currently you can't challenge club to 3v3, and private drop ins you cant have a human goalie, only way to play 4v4 against friends club is search over and over again at the same time.

    I honestly think the periods should be 3 5 min periods not 6 min , and the pentalty shot needs to be in effect as for the ice bigger the better gets players to show true positions

    Love the open space! yes its great and its really good since we are learning new moves the open space helps

    Periods are a touch too long no i like the periods

    Would rather see penalty shots than a PP. Anything to minimize CPUs I love. yes this is a good idea

    also would like to see if u have a CPU D-Man him be more defensive i find if u have a CPU he will jump up on the rush to much and when on D go for hit and miss alot

    Love 3v3, these are my changes.
    - Penalty Shot for penalties
    - Ice a bit smaller (maybe like 3/4 size of normal EASHL rink)
    - 10 minute periods (3)

    Echoing what others have said, 2 periods instead of 3 and Penalty shots replacing power plays would both make the mode a lot more fun.

    Increase in game speed and agility as it feels a touch slower than 17 was and that goes for both eashl modes

    They need to make it 7 mins long periods which are 2 mins longer but only have 2 periods so it turns in to halfs makes the game 1 minute shorter and better in my opinion
