Your Feedback - Should all (next-gen) games require a stream?

I refuse to stream.

 

I think behind the scene's you could ask the gm's to push the idea of streaming but making it mandatory is just an additional headache for managers.

Like Brisan said, I think most people will take advantage of it anways

 

I know I personally can't stream EA games when playing online. I don't know where your "it won't effect it negatively" logic comes from but on 360 if I streamed NHL I basically never saw play in the neutral zone because that was just skipped when the game chopped over and over.

I think alot of people will stream regardless its a cool new toy, every body wants to be on "TV" my question is does the Xbox one cap your internet connection speed? cause i believe the Xbox 360 does.

 

Idk about making it mandatory because there have been times in the past where I was streaming COD on the one and there would be a slight delay when I'd go to shoot someone causing me to lose gun fights. Other games I don't really notice it as bad but if it's costing me either faceoffs or just delaying my button presses by half a second I'd be really pissed that I HAVE to stream it

 

I don't think it's a bad idea, but I do think it will lead to people who have streaming capabilities getting inflated contracts. If you require people to stream and two equally talented players are available the one that can stream would go for more to fulfill that requirement.

I like the idea. I also think it'd be a good idea to require a league rep to watch every stream if it were required. Essentially being an official and making calls on lag outs, etc etc.

If you make it a requirement, I don't think there can be exceptions. Owners would have to organize lines to make sure someone that can stream was in every line.

 

i just dont think internet quality is at the point where we can do this. As a westerner, every streemed game I've ever knowingly been involved in has been delayed as shite, I'd hate for every game to be that way.

 

should be for playoffs. i dont think mandatory should be required for regular season but it should be strongly encouraged. the xbox one does not cap your speed, does not lag your system, blah blah. the requirements for twitch is 2mbps upload speed for the stream, minimum of 1mbps. anything less and i dont even know how you're playing the 360 anyway to be honest. so the ones against this don't really make sense. especially when we see you stream other games....

 

if there's even the slightest report that it negatively impacts the connections, this is an awful idea, in my opinion. bad idea to have different standards on stuff like this for playoffs. things should be as consistent as possible.

like most are saying, it should be encouraged but not required. not everyone has great internet and it's not reasonable to ask managers to build their teams around people with good enough internet that are also fine with streaming.

 

only if the streams are good quality.

seriously though, xbl on 360 requires a decent enough connection to hang in 6s. with Xbox One, the requirements are higher, so if you can't have good enough internet to stream, you probably won't be able to play NHL 16 on the One. people are overlooking this fact that the "PURGE" probably won't be anything because you need an Xbox One AND a better Internet connection. the guys lagging on the 360 won't be here on the One unless they pay for a better Internet package. & if you're on wifi, you're already going to be behind in lagtime.

 

i've streamed games and my connection has felt nice still, sometimes in madden i walked onto a bad connection guy and i lost my mind thinking it was my stream lol, forcing it will be a terrible idea, encouraging it, would be great, i know i will be streaming LG games but if i start to feel my connection take a turn for the worse then i wont stream.

 

I hear [MENTION=6341]Ryan McDonut 27[/MENTION] is streaming the purge.

 

At first I thought it was a pun as well, but I've concluded that it is just Brodie's terrible spelling and grammar rubbing off on Tris. Thanks Obama!

As for this, the more streams the better, just never cross the streams.

Also, sucks for you and your dial-up connection [MENTION=4204]AgentSooksta008[/MENTION]

 

What's the goal behind wanting people to stream? Is it to help out with rule violations (in which case, we'll already have "xbox record that"), or is it just sort of a cool thing to do? Seems like if it's required to stream, but no one's punished if the game's not streamed, then it's not really required at all. And if it's not really required, why not just say "we've got a twitch server, stream if you want to."?

 

I already was planning on streaming all my games on next gen for LG. Once teams on NHL 16 are all figured out, maybe make a thread and anyone willing to stream can sign up and post a speed test result to make sure they have good connection.
