There are 2 versions of 3v3. One is an EASHL version (full rink) which can have human goalies. The other is the arcade version (smaller rink, bigger hits, etc). The arcade version will be CPU goalies.

Re: After Today's NHL 18 Reveals: What Do You Think About This Year's Game? (Roundtab
I still don't think I will be buying this game. I just don't see enough change to warrant me putting down my hard earned $60 for this franchise anymore. Yeah they added a couple of good things, but it is overshadowed by useless garbage like 3-3 crap. Now if they would have skipped that stuff and invested that time (which the say they never have enough of) in making the features that people actually play better....then yeah. But as it stands, the addition of such silly and unrequested features is sending all the wrong signals to me. For me...it's a pass.
Hate to say it, but I may finally sit this one out.Comment

I'll agree with a few of you guys about games feeling repetitive after awhile. Back in NASCAR: total team control, they had a rivalry bar for guys you didn't work with or help draft or even raced dirty. That guy wouldn't help you or race you clean and sometimes even take you out if you did it to him.
Last NHL I had (either '10 or '13 idr) had something like this with GM relations. I didn't know a lot about the value of players, etc, so in trying to move Zdeno Chara to free cap space I pretty much pissed off the entire Western Conference lolComment

I would like to see my opponent AI take advantage of their time outs. I would also like to see my goalies record accurately reflected. Kind of stinks when you play 10 games, are 7-3, your goalie played all the games, and when you look at his stats, he's 2-3.I just want a hockey and football game where I can spend more time playing my seasons then I spend changing my sliders.Comment

Leaving out GM Connected, again, and not acknowledging it, unfortunately I cant bring myself to support this series any longer (my favorite game all my life). Ill be buying Madden and getting into a CFM with my NHL buddies who are also skipping.Comment

As someone that plays D in online team play 90% of the time, I'm pretty excited for the new stick controls on D.
I wish they'd bring back the ability to play 2v2, 3v3, etc online without player lock. I thoroughly enjoyed playing online with random people and having the ability to switch. The OTP is good when you get a good group and people actually play D, but I like the ability to switch as well. I'm doubting it'll come back, but maybe one day.Comment

They did address it a few years ago and the reason why it was left out. A very small percentage of people played it. I wish it was in as well, but if they let us play co-op in franchise mode with xbox live buds then I will be content.Twitch

Re: After Today's NHL 18 Reveals: What Do You Think About This Year's Game? (Roundtab
Super excited about the expansion draft for franchise mode!
Is anyone else worried that the (very small) improvement made to goaltending last year will now be offset by the addition of crazy dekes though? The goaltending animations in the early videos for 18 seem to be the exact same as 17. Fingers crossed that this isn't going to be an issue.2025 Expos Expansion:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...gid=1295163793Comment

Re: After Today's NHL 18 Reveals: What Do You Think About This Year's Game? (Roundtab
stick clicking should never be used for anything, it's junk. so they basically are breaking one of the functions of this game that actually work great... puck chops. shocker
and you cant intercept/pickup pucks while in "def stick mode" ??? what the **** is that??
just get rid of right stick hitting completely, it's a stupid thing that gives us nothing. Let hits be based on physics and learn how to properly enforce interference.
i hope the reality of this is nothing like it's been described, or how i imagine it. but stick clicking in a high paced sports game is a terrible idea, they should get rid of left stick hustle button as well. stick clicking combined with movement is hot garbage not to mention the stress it adds to controllers.
i think thats another reason why DJNEO left the GC Programm...?Comment

@kinsmen7:
I certainly am. As a fan of playing the goalie and having realistic goaltending in the game I play, I have some concerns.
Last year I used all my time to get the goaltending just the way I wanted to, and just as I got comfortable a new patch came out and ruined the setup for me.
The biggest issue I have with goalies as it stands is that the videos show off all the old moves. And that is not a good look for goaltending as it stands.
Now bear in mind there is still a small possibility that this could change and they have yet to show us any gameplay of it, but from what we got its the same-old same-old.
@GetThePuckOut:
DJNEO had some valid concerns about where the game was going.
I was one of those who wanted to reserve judgement until we had a better idea of what the EA team was up to this year.
Boy, was I wrong.Comment

I will say, my issue with them saying "no one played it" is that it was hard to enjoy. The servers were unreliable from what I remember, and the concrete season length turned a lot of people off to the idea, knowing they wouldn't get a full season in.Comment

Bingo. EA is big into their telemetry, but I feel that they often fail to account for the why behind the numbers.Comment

Is the five man hug happening this year?
Also I didn't get last years game did the players come out of the Sharks head ?Comment

Re: After Today's NHL 18 Reveals: What Do You Think About This Year's Game? (Roundtab
I want to say the Shark Head is a thing, but I can't 100% remember if they skate out of it or not before the game. I'm pretty sure it was in the game at one point, but I also haven't had any luck finding it on Youtube or anything to confirm.Comment

Even though I love hockey, I'll be waiting for this game to hit the EA Locker. It's shameful that year after year, we get the same gameplay. We're circling around pucks that user controlled players can't seem to see. We're getting the same dumb goalies that let slow picks get to the back of the net, and graphics/player models are disgustingly clunky and similar. There's still no Hockey IQ needed for this game, board play is atrocious, the "rush" or setup of offense is still lacking, tremendously. I just had a guy score 4 goals taking 4 foot slap shots lmao.
Not to mention, they allow All-Star teams to be picked in H2H online, and you don't have an option to see your opponent's team prior to the game starting. Why would that even be allowed? I could t imagine seeing madden letting users have Pro-Bowl teams in ranked matches. NHL has been awful since the new generation, and I'm losing faith in anyone involved with the development of the game.Comment
