and no although they mentioned they are still tweaking the player indicators

For some reason the player indicators are incredibly distracting for me, can't get over how much they change the realism of the game especially with graphics improving now.

I lose the puck all the time in them as well.

Can they be toned down or removed?

I actually had one guy glitch out on me. He was near the height max, and he grew resulting in him rolling over to the height min.

Awesome. Reminds me of, I think, 07, when I had Regehr's +/- roll over from +255 to -255. I was quite disappointed because there were only 20 or so games left in the season to fix his numbers.

Yeah, I played on super easy mode.

Does anyone have a code for PS4, please? I sold my copy of NHL 15.

How the hell does one play this? I just want to play.

Do I have to scour the internet to find forums and join them to have a matchmaking forum to look for open teams then ask to join then join then hope they're not playing then wait until they're done then hope I get over in time to join a game?

This to me is insane. I understand they want data points for their beta (that's the goal), but all I've seen in 2 days is a room with 15 people in it sitting around waiting 25 minutes for 5 of them to finish a game, and then a frantic first-come-first-serve to get into the next one. I chatted with a few people yesterday in the "dressing room" that had yet to play. I managed to get into 2 games so far, both of which crashed on me during the warmup.

The point of a beta is to identify problems, but by releasing it publicly like this you are ensuring that a lot of people partake in a broken experience. That's fine if you appreciate what a beta is, but I bet the majority do not. I even count myself among the users that probably shouldn't have done this. Despite understanding the purpose of a beta, it's left a sour taste in my mouth (as has almost every beta I've been a part of).

I suppose the obvious answer to my bellyaching is to create a team that maxes out at 5 players, then delete it when done.

I'll join right now if you're up to it

Street Pharmacist · 08-01-2015, 10:29 AM

PSN KaMiHu if you wanna try

DatSOOKin · 08-01-2015, 11:30 AM

I'm interested to give it a try too. Probably not today though.

I really wish EA would have released a normal demo. I only got to play half a game before my connection got lost and I'm already annoyed with the beta.

Weitz · 08-01-2015, 02:33 PM

Nvm

I think it's important to remember that they listed this as a NHL 16 EASHL beta. Their goal is to test a mode which was the most used online mode because it was missing from last years experience. I can understand some of the frustration but at the same time understand that this beta is EASHL only and that's how it should be judged.
