I don’t think they did but I know the feeling. Unscreened slapshots from the blueline (from bad angles, no less) seemed to be my goalie’s weakness today. They never go in for me, naturally.Did they update the tuners again? Poorly selected slap shots are going in at an incredible rate against AI goalies.
Well, we are getting close to where we usually get NHL 20 information.
I know last year we heard NOTHING until the actual NHL awards. Hopefully we get something this year before then.
Honestly, NHL 19 was the least amount I’ve played the NHL series. Not because I thought it was a bad game.... I don’t know what it was.
I just wish Franchise was more customizable. Let me choose what I want on/off straight down to GM Firing even if Owner Mode isn’t on. Let me import Legends into the mode.
The reason I LOVE the NBA 2K Franchise is because it’s so customizable. You can edit the salary cap inflation rate (which the NHL rate is way to low, it’d be nice to bump it up). You can edit trading sliders to set what different teams based on their “Contender, Buyer, Seller, Rebuilder” label would look for and what in trades, and be willing to give up.
God damn trade finder. You can quickly get an idea of how different teams value a player you might want to trade, instead of having to spend an hour to find a team willing to trade a 2nd Round Pick for your 4th line Center at the deadline.
I’d like a setting that allows Scouting hiring/assignment be automatic. Almost like you have a Head Scout who handles his staff type thing. I like the new Scouting better, but I don’t need to be the one to handle every aspect of it, unless I actually want specific reports on specific players type thing.
Get rid of the arena maintenance and hot dog pricing stuff. When people said they wanted more depth to Franchise, I don’t think this is what we meant. It’s utterly pointless, and it’s incredibly unrealistic that Vegas’ brand new arena seating has deteriorated by the end of the first season.
Player Morale is fine, though I’d like to see it altered a bit to fit the NBA 2K system. Players have a page where you can see their thoughts on things like team performance, being snubbed from the all-star, winning awards and what not.
Overall, I don’t think anything here is unreasonable to too big for this development team. I don’t have an issue with the Franchise as a whole, but some minor tweaks and additions would help it a lot I think.
I used to love this franchise and play this online so much.... but now, it's just trash.
So much glitchy trash. Players are literally glitching back and forth in the most unrealistic ways because the sweaty try-hards have found the glitchiest ways to play this series.
I've played maybe 5 total HUT games online this year. It's not fun when it's just people who glitch. EASHL is turning out to be that way as well. What fun comes from that?
EA Won't do anything about it, sadly. They just want that $$$
This **** is worse than Madden when it hit the PS3 / 360....
1. How do I switch to goalie and come out of the net on ps4
2. How do I hipcheck on ps4
Career stats would be nice. All time greats. It's not difficult to upload a database, especially when cloud technology is available.I just want a robust, revamped Franchise Mode - I'd happily pay to see it as a standalone game on it's own, away from the HUT garbage. Take a page out of FIFA's book and monetize catalogue bonuses and add-ons for extra revenue if needed.
The entire franchise mode needs to be burned to the ground and rebuilt - they've come a long way, but the progress has really stagnated. Owner mode is, frankly, a complete waste of time and requires you (a general manager) to micro-manage a bunch of unrealistic junk you'd have no business managing in real life.
The new scouting system + prospect development is really good, but add some more layers to it - let us focus on what areas of growth our prospects focus on, and implement personalities / morale system that doesn't cripple your team because you made one wrong comment 6 months ago.
As others have suggested, more customization and options within franchise mode would be great. Let me decide cap inflation rates, offer sheet penalties, and things of the sort.
Oh, and UPDATE THE DAMN PRESENTATION - it was stale years ago. I don't want to hear about having to "win the first period" anymore.
In the lobby or people simply not playing their positions? Drop-ins are lame in general in this version. Too many bad players.5 EASHL dropin matches in a row ruined by trolls. Why is this so entertaining the multiple people will do it all night? It's so ****in lame
Twice had goalies quit with 15 seconds left in the lobby causing most other people to quit. Once had a Dman that wanted to play as the forechecking forward, and once had a goalie just skated to centre ice.In the lobby or people simply not playing their positions? Drop-ins are lame in general in this version. Too many bad players.
They need to eliminate the human goalies--that would chase away a lot of the me-players.
Iiìiiiiiiiiiicce Tiiiiiiiiiiiilt.I can't express how infuriating it is to play Online Versus and have the other guy score 4 ****ty goals on 4 shots, total, all three periods... and almost win after getting dominated the entire match.
And these are the same kids that talk **** if they win.
**** you EA. **** you NHL 19. I won the stupid match 5-4 but I'm still pissed off. I had to fight and claw for the game to even sniff a goal and literally every shot this ****er takes goes in. ****ing ridiculous.
You can jump into a simmed game, i do it all the time. I usually only play the 3rd period of important games in Franchise.Thank god this game was free with xbox gold. Every poke is a penalty again, impossible to get around bot d-men, can’t jump in during a simmed match in franchise mode like fifa? Who has time to play the whole game? Don’t even get me started with EASHL, 1 step forward 8 steps back, the ****ing outdoor world of chel **** with no announcer is so stupid, put it back in a stadium with the option to have an outdoor rink if your club wants one. Also for drop in 3s and 6s they should make it like the old NHL’s where everybody joins the lobby and once they ready up THEN positions are picked, this **** takes too long and everyone wants wing, never both D’s or goalie. But yeah keep ****ing only focusing on glitch goal central HUT EA
Really? I must be blind or it doesn’t work for me, TYYou can jump into a simmed game, i do it all the time. I usually only play the 3rd period of important games in Franchise.
