We often play 2 and 3’s in 6v6 and spend hours backing out when matched up against 5’s. We would rather just let the search happen bs constantly backing out. We won’t play with drop ins due to issues and they just quit out anyways. Please bring back the Match my club size.
Community ManagerHello. We're aware of the requests for this. Hopefully, it'll return in the future. Thanks!
Lots of people been asking for this back. Not sure why it was removed . Incredibly frustrating. Instead of Removing stuff how about stop adding things no one asks for. I swear sometimes it just feels like the guys on the EA team do stuff just to make us hate the game
Community ManagerIt was removed in anticipation that the matchmaking changes would make it unnecessary. Obviously, that didn't work out as well as we had hoped. It's always possible matching team size will be back down the road.
We get told every year the game is copied and pasted. Which is normally a complaint. Then, when we make big changes, you just want everything we had previously. As if you wanted it copied and pasted every year. Over time, we're going to add and remove features. This isn't something we want to do just for the sake of change though. We hopefully will add things you're not asking for as well as listening to community feedback and making improvements. The idea is never to do stuff that just make you hate the game. That makes no sense. We obviously want it to be as popular as possible.
EA_Aljo Lol People say it's a copy and paste game because it's literally looked the same for the last 5+years it seems. Same menu Same background different color Then when it comes to customization it seems to be the same Gear with no adds.
Ah yes we Complain when you make big changes. As if we want a copied and paste game. Well there is a reason for this. You Guys make Big changes that literally no one asked for. Lets go over some of the things that were removed over the years.
Attributes were removed from the game for whatever reason. Stick Curve and Skate radius,Hybrid Controls,Match club size GM mode No one asked for any of theses to be removed
Luckily youve brought back many of them after people complained.
Things Changed Hitting,Speed of the game
Things added. Total controls wow thanks for adding a system making it easier for people to use Lame trick dekes Hip check and Reverse hit all with one button. You see a player try the Michigan once every 20+ games in real life. On NHL people are trying it 5 times per game. Lets take all the skill out of the game.
Pressure system Great Idea Poor execution been what 2-3 years since this came out still doesn't work properly.
PreBuilds Lets make Builds that You cant make with a customized build. Lets allow certain Xfactors on the Builds that you cant use on your custom build.
Stupid skins Literally Trying to be Call of duty/Fortnite On NHL. You want this in arcade mode great have fun. But get this out of EASHL. How about instead of Halloween Thanksgiving Clown costumes you add more Logos to customize.
Xfactors how about just going back to Boost packs seen on NHL09-NHL14. Since most Xfactors have little to no use remove them and give us more attribute points.
And one of the big things thats extremely annoying is EA putting messaging out spewing Political/Social ideologies. Keep it off the game its not your place. Your messaging literally Means nothing and doesnt do anything.
You ask why people like 09-14 NHL games better than the last 10 games? Its because it was simple Now we gotta go through 20 menus to get to where we need to go. Its honestly embarrassing how slow these menus are on a new Gen gaming system lol. The Menus on ps3 were faster. You know youve added too much garbage to the game when it takes minutes to scroll through the menus.
I went from playing thousands of Hours of NHL back when the game was good and was the only game i played. Now i Look at the last 5 games played all less than 200 hours lol. NHL 25 83 hours.
You wonder why Google Reviews give you 1.5 stars lol.
