Re: NHL 17 EASHL Details and Video

I like a lot of the OTP changes. It remains to be seen if they actually work as detailed in this blog, however.

I do worry about the goalies quitting in OTP and the "backup" CPU goalie being worse (something that is much needed, IMO) resulting in the entire team quitting most of the time, now. I still think that if you quit a game early that you shouldn't be allowed to join another game until that first game you quit out of finishes. But they would never do that.

I do like the booting of a-holes in OTP, though. And limiting teams to 1 pause of 30 seconds each, even though it should be no pauses and they should make it so that you can call your timeout without having to hard pause the game.

They said they're putting in a connection strength meter. You'll know before the game starts if the connection is bad.

I couldn't tell if that was pertaining to OTP or EASHL. And it doesn't say if the bar is for all players or what. Because it supposedly still randomizes who hosts the game and who is home and away.

OTP and EASHL both use dedicated servers. You're connecting to EA's NA East server, NA West server, or European server.

The only modes in NHL that use peer-to-peer client-side hosting are OVP and HUT.

Ok, thanks. But why the mention of needing to know the connection strength then? I'm not trying to be difficult, just trying to understand everything.

So I guess you can come out of the Sharks head again? Nice! Now a five man hug and I am set! Still wish the puck was less magnetic.

My only real wish, fix the user controlled goalie. They ruined it this year.
