* New * EASHL New Traits Info

EASHL now has a somewhat new traits system

All traits will now have two variations: blue and purple. Both variations will share the same POSITIVES impact bonuses but will have different NEGATIVES. V1 (blue) and V2 (purple)


Here are all the traits, feel free to explore them and leave your feedback. If you think they should be changed, adjusted, etc. THEY DO NOT WANT TO REMOVE THE NEGATIVES due to balance of builds. If negatives are removed they believe people will all use the same builds and stack certain attributes.

This is probably hard to see so click the link below or if someone can grab a better screenshot please post it here

**** WE HAVE REMOVED MARATHON MAN BC IT BECAME A HAVE TO USE SPECIALTY WHICH DIDNT ALLOW FOR THE OTHERS TO BE CHOSEN. It was removed to maintain the stamina/fatigue system in balance. This will allow players to try other specialties without feeling they are missing out on an obvious overpowered specialty. It addition, we have added stamina regain after icings for the team who didnt ice the puck. There will also be slight increases to stamina at stoppages for both teams


*This feedback in the surveys post beta is crucial if you want change. NHL21 will not have custom builds, this is what we have to work with, so focused on getting what we can changed if it needs to be

 

In most of these cases the negatives far outway the positives of traits. In what planet would someone ever get Dirty dangles to increase deking and make your guy have less balance AND less speed?? Many of these traits will never ever be used because the negatives are such dog shit.

 

All wrist shot traits affect speed, agility, acceleration, and balance. That makes absolutely no sense. Just remove the negative effects on traits. Please.

 

Highly considering not using any traits for 21

 

^ ditto

 

I hate to break it to them, but people will use all the same traits/builds regardless (see: NHL 19+20). There will always be a meta that most people follow. It's idiotic that traits take away so much from important attributes when we're using low overall builds already.

Or they could just avoid this pointless problem by removing traits altogether and giving us fully customizable builds...

 

I won’t even buy this game most likely. EA sucks. They need to bring back full customization. These set builds and traits are garbage and always have been

 

Bring back custom builds.

 

I just don't understand the concept of negatively impacting stats with traits when the builds we use are already 3rd liner builds. Risk/reward would be one thing if we were working with 85 overall builds.

It'd be nice to just have a +2 or +3 boost without taking away from anything else. That little bit of customization to really make a build yours. I think there is an overwhelming consensus that the negatives in most cases outweigh the positives and make it hard to want to use any traits.

 

No. Stop giving negatives, they don’t outweigh the positives.

 

At least lower the negatives or make them relatable. Zero reason a shot boost should affect skating. FIFA has a great system imo, something like would be perfect.

 

take out the negatives in the traits so the traits actually have value when being used. every trait doesn’t even seem to be worth using because it lowers other stats on your guy. every trait should only have positives, no negatives imo

 

If anyone has plugs with EA. Here is a profitable solution for everyone imo.

Bring back NHL14 LEGEND 3 set up with the 2500pts to place (or something like that, been a long time lol). So there is no 350games to play to have a legend 3, everyone start with the same amount of points.

KEEP THIS TRAITS SHIT. I know EA probably pay thousands to have someone building this shit, so lets keep it why not, let this be the "grind" to unlock all traits.

Been saying this from the start, it's fair for everyone and I don't see how someone could be mad at this solution..

 

Should be like Fifa’s skill tree, the more you play, the more points you get to upgrade your guy. And people build their players in fifa differently, and based on position. Nhl could easily do this considering thats how it is in their be a pro mode...

 

Yooooooooooo yesssssssss.

 

Theyre not changing to fifa skill tree or custom builds for this yr. Its already in, so need solutions of what we have to work with. @Gilbzey @Im Sean Avery @lCR0SSCHECKl

 

They’re aren’t any until they change it. It’s the same shitty game with new animations and it will all get patched and patched until it’s NHL 20 again.

 

Only solution with the current system is to remove the negatives. Nobody in their right mind is going to use any of the shooter traits right now considering it makes you a slug, so the attempt to make people use a larger variety of traits is an instant fail.

 

IMO, I think this will enable a lot of different builds to be successful based on playing styles

 

The skill tree is literally in be a pro, they could easily implement it over to EASHL
