were on the top 5 leaderboard.
I think even seeing a high prestige level cause some people to back out
I've been playing with a friend recently in franchise mode where we made a player each to pickup in FA on the Sabres to start the season we played probably 20 games and only had a single penalty against the opposing AI.....meanwhile we have probably had like 10 penalties alone against our AI while having to deal with even more penalties against us though that's because my friend has an obsession with charging guys into the boards.Finally bought the NHL series game since maybe 19/20...
Don't mind the feel of the game so far in franchise mode. Tweaked the sliders cause it felt like the CPU would Brian Campbell any player with the puck in open ice. Nerfed aggressiveness and checking power for the cpu(and user).
On NHL 22 on the 10 hour free trial the stupid franchise mode wouldn't save after the 5th game so nice to see that fixed for me lol.
I've noticed my cpu players take a bunch of penalties in small stretche. And in the 3rd. Have to look into tweaking the sliders there too. Averaging like 7 penalties a game on 8 minute periods, while the CPU team maybe commits one or 2 a game.
You can download rosters with lots of the NCAA and Russia guys created.I could actually live with franchise mode if it had realistic prospects. If your draft pick plays in the NCAA or in the KHL they don't exist in game. I realize that's not necessarily EAs fault as they don't have the rights to certain leagues but it's basically like forfeiting a pick.
Never expected them to add roster sharing so props to them for that. It's something at least.You can download rosters with lots of the NCAA and Russia guys created.
Use Roster Sharing in 23 and download Vasy's rostersPart of the reason I am still using 2022 is that I had rosters with a bunch of the NCAA and Russians in it still.
I’ve never really been able to enjoy BAP because it’s just too repetitive and not really fleshed out or immersive enough. It should be so much closer to the Madden career or like MLB or NBA 2K. Regardless, it’s actually the only mode I play this year because it’s the only mode I can find any enjoyment in. When I break up a pass and get a breakaway or make a good read at the point, walk in and snipe, that’s fun. The AI still sucks and the game and the mode are both still repetitive but at least you feel like there are some moments where you’re like “nice, that was cool”.
Draisaitl? Pasta?Who do y’all think gets the nod for the cover this year?
Im guessing Makar. But would love Igor.
Draisaitl? Pasta?
Yes I misunderstood, I was suggesting for NHL 24. We could also throw in Hughes and Stutzle into the mix. Robertson too. Some new faces would be niceMy comment for what the game that’s already out now. At the time of the comment the cover wasn’t released
For next years; I like your ideas
can you elaborate on this one? I'd like to know if I'm experiencing the same, basically my skater comes to near stop carrying the puck, I almost have to "shake" him loose to get him moving againThe "Straight skate" needs to be nerfed considerably in NHL 24. It totally breaks the game.
The lack of Power Plays is a pretty big issue with the game. Should be averaging 4-6 a game. The AI dont do much but try to move in the way of the puck carrier. Really poor defensive AI strategyWhat an awful f***ing game Holy shit. The AI is useless. Can't buy a power play. You score the stupidest goals but are hardly rewarded for skill and nice plays.
Just garbage. Never had a game that is this anti-fun and straight up rage inducing.
Straight skate needs to be nerfed, cross creases need to he nerfed, glitch wrap around needs to be canned.
I remember when the cross crease pass was hard to perform in this first week of release then ea reverted back to the old ways because I assume the clowns like the clapperton, nasher and the other douche bags weren’t scoring 7 goals a game
Changing the angle of ur stick helps tremendouslyI can’t do a cross crease pass for the life of me. Instead it decides it’s gonna attempt to pass back to the blueline to the opposite side of the ice
That and working pass cancellation into your game is huge. A lot of times you need to re-aim passes if you hold the button too early. Faking when you're about to release it also forces your opponent to commit defensively. When they do, you can change the angle by cancelling and find more open lanes.Changing the angle of ur stick helps tremendously
I found holding it out to ur forehand and slightly forward just past the back of there skate works a lot of the time especially up close on a defender
