    This has been something we have all suggested for a long time for EASHL as the spacing on the ice has felt like it has become smaller over time. Some people think the ice is smaller than old gen, others think its bc people use bigger builds but honestly it comes to positioning and for the most part everyone knowing where to be on the ice and how to take away space. With that being said would it be more beneficial to switch to Olympic Size Ice if we had the option?

    EA was able to give all official LG clubs XBOX and PS4 NHL/AHL/CHL their jerseys and logos, so if they made Olympic size ice and unlockable and they issued it to us, would it be better if we played on it?

    It's a band-aid for a larger problem but it would be a nice thing to see as an option.

    Would deff make the game faster and make small builds a much better option. Would remove some of the hitting because it will be much harder to recover from bad pinches and plays

    maybe they should just fix the existing issues? Plus they would probably scale it incorrectly anyway. Can't trust them to do anything with precision.

    This poll should be "Do you play offense or defense?"

    I voted yes, but I don't believe it would make a significant difference; zone entries would be a little easier but with the way the game is tuned the expanded width would just give people more of a reason not to pressure the outside and to instead collapse the zone.

    Can't say I've ever played this game on olympic sized ice, so you really can't knock it until you try it... That being said, I feel like the slight increase in space would mainly just add to the likelihood of games being turd-fests.

    Doesn’t matter if ice is 3x Olympic ice. There’s only one net and people will still clog the middle lol

    All this does is make it a little easier to break the trap, which isn't nearly the biggest problem with the game right now.

    It helps, but it's not something that is an absolute must, imo.

    Does NHL 19 even have olympic size ice or will they have to code it in and then do a new tuner and ruin the game more?

    While this would help getting into zones there still needs to be other methods taken to increase scoring chances. Goalie Screens need turned up much higher with the way teams collapse so much in front of their goalies. Puck carrier skating friction needs toned down to not slow them down so much when they shouldn't be caught on some straight line attempts. The terrible paralyzing back bumps need toned way down. If those changes were to happen the game would become healthier imo.

    I think it would definately be better... The game has got to be more spectacular and more offensive for it to grow, and having an olympic sized ice would create more offensive plays and more strategies on the offensive end. With the regular sized ice, its too easy to play well defensively and it makes the game more boring i guess. This would create more goals and plays and I think it would favor the best offensive and defensive players since positionning and skill would have a bigger impact on the game!

    Would be more fun to watch games too ;)
