Thank god. They're putting all of the features stripped from last year back in PLUS PLAYOFF BEARDS. Someone at EA literally has a job that consists of analyzing beard patterns and growth and replicating that.
The in-arena atmosphere stuff has me excited as a Panthers fan (hardy har har har) but only if they include the "Panthers Goal" PA audio. Basically the PA yells "Panthers" and the crowd (hardy har har har) yells "Goooooooooaaaaaaallllllll". If they nail that I'm in.
If we can play my player clubs I'm in. Need to reunite the squad. BRC NittanyKnight AUB EdNigma Manny Hope I'm not missing anyone
I'm sure it's in the budget to get 27 people to yell "goal".. They prolly just rounded up the EA interns
Wasn't on that often but we won all 10 or something games I played in. I remember that buzzer beater game winning one timer I hit from almost the blue line to break the 1-1 tie. Still have no idea why I enjoyed being a defenseman so much.
well...the only other thing they could have added is what? Panthers GOAL crowd chant right? AND EMPTY SEATS HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Yea. And they have the 'players saluting fans thing' so it sounds feasible to add rats to the panthers at home. (in theory) I really want the goal call though.
Panthers are always last in line to receive any of the game presentation updates. So don't get your hopes up
I'm really disappointed they did away with customizing your EASHL skater's attributes and skills. EA says they did it in response to "what the players wanted" but EASHL seems bland as fuck now. I shouldn't have to select an enforcer build and be forced to sacrifice any offensive skills for decent hitting.
I like the set attributes. Levels the playing field so guys who have sunk hours into the game don't have a huge advantage
I understand that argument, a better option would have been to have matchmaking sorted by the "levels" they added and keep the customization aspect of the game. Instead we have worthless levels that literally add nothing to the game and everything is vanilla. Not being able to edit your height and weight to fine tune your player is a disgrace. It's not too bad as a forward but the defensive setups are terrible. You pretty much have to select defensive dman to be worth anything from a team perspective as the other setups are geared toward only one aspect of the game and leave you whiffing on poke checks. The most surprising thing about all of it to me was the removal of the boost slots. You know EA made a killing off that, I guess they're making so much from HUT it wasn't necessary to keep around. Don't really care that they're gone just surprised greedy EA was willing to let them go for the sake of fairness.
Thank God they saved themselves after the shit show that was 2015 Play eashl almost every night. Only thing I hate is how bad the CPU defenders are. I would play defense but it's boring
Basically everything I know about hockey is due to the '93 (I think) version of these games. It's not so much me as it is Roenick... He's good.
Gotta make it happen in '17. Looking forward to the same game with minimal improvements. Club could be so awesome if they spent some time on it and gave the community functional lobbies, tournament modes, etc. Too bad all they care about is HUT now.
Nice well if you play club I'm trying to find a team to start playing with. Prefer RD but can pretty much slot in everywhere but G.
Welp my whole club hasn't been able to connect to EASHL for two days now. Some bug about switching your club's jerseys. Looks like EA shut down their forums because of this embarrassment.
