* New * NHL 18 Beta, 6v6 Experience

I think who ever is in net should be extra attacker when pulled and I love new defensive play

 

we want build back

 

I don't know how many people play it...but....

Goalie Practice mode. You can make 1 million saves and you don't get a point for it unless you actually stop and HOLD the puck and force the play to start over. I think most Goalies will agree with me the score should more accurately reflect the goals vs the actual saves even if the puck is not held to restart the play.

I know it's not huge....but it's seriously annoying. That's like one of the easiest things to fix. Just need a numeric variable and increase it by one each time a shot is stopped, even if there's a rebound.

If EA can't do that, I can't expect them to be able to do anything.
** excuse if that sounds rude, but something so simple should not be left in multiple products, it's annoying and frustrating **

(and before anyone says anything I hold my own pretty well in a 5 vs 0 in Goalie practice mode...lol)

 

can this please be FIXED ... every delayed PIM the goalie goes to the bench and you get "Careless Positioning" after about 3-5 times doing this you get BOOTED from game.

Thx

 

Overall, it's a decent experience. Tons of improvements can be made to bring this game mode back.

However, the single most important (and easy fix) is to bump up the EASHL players from 3-4 liners to 1st liners.

NHL dev team spends countless hours improving; agility, skating, passing, new dekes...Yet, we are unable to enjoy them because we are playing with 10 Brandon Prusts on the ice. It's not difficult, bump up the overalls, show off the features you've been working on and eliminate the water downed 6's expierence you have been feeding the community for years.

I'm actually astonished this has not been addressed yet. They keep marketing a product and features they can't deliver on...by choice.

My two cents.
