Use the format so that your post can be the most efficient.

This will make things easier for the developers to try to recreate, which in turn could lead to quicker fixes.

Re: NHL 16 (Early Access) Bugs, Problems, and Mistakes

It may not be a bug, but its certainly a mistake: season goal totals are still not tracked in any mode (season, GM, or Be a Pro)

It seems like such an easy thing to implement, I do NOT understand it. Does EA just think it's no big deal? Do they just not care about small details that greatly increase the users feeling of being immersed into a hockey world?

You could be in game 82 of the season, pushing for 1 more goal to win the Rocket Richard. You light the lamp in the final minute of the game and the dreaded display comes up telling you that its your first goal of the season. ARE YOU KIDDING ME

At least for me, yes. Played almost a full period on 2 and then all of a sudden the framerate dropped and I had to turn it up to 3 or else I would be unplayable.

Re: NHL 16 (Early Access) Bugs, Problems, and Mistakes

Mine is nothing as crazy as that frame rate issue and not really a bug but more of a problem I guess.

I do manual line changes and this year when you pull up the line change menu in game, whichever line you are highlighting (before they change to yellow or red) appears full because the highlight and the energy bar are so similar in color.

So I end up having to cycle through all the lines so I can see who is full green to almost yellow. Makes it very difficult.

But so far I am enjoying the game. Think I still like my checktest roster for NHL 14 gameplay better but this is good.
