    Yeah, sorry, that was badly worded on my part. I meant make the position lock as a goalie a good experience, played with some nice sliders from the gurus and it defentialy helps but it doesn't stop the given goals where it is going in no matter what you do.
    It is something I will have to come to terms with as I love playing goalie and need to just relax and try and enjoy it for what it is but it is hard not to get angry at some of the stuff.
    Is 16 or 17 any better with all the patchs they got?

      I came to terms with this in 2015/16. Mostly! LOL. I make some adjustments and try and enjoy it for what it is. I'm currently at the same spot on the schedule as the Pens are IRL.

      IMO 18 is better than anything we had in 15/16/17, best next gen game so far from them, but that is not saying much.

        I’m shocked nobody mentioned the real player differentiation.

        Not one hah. This game suffers from everybody playing the same and having access to the same moves..goaltenders essentially being robots.

          Adjust attribute effect slider to 10/10. Works wonders. Cheers!

              I read it as different animations and styles of play for different players so that the game actually looks and feels dynamic rather than just more separation between players and attributes. Especially since it says each player type will look and feel different. It was the number one thing that caught my eye and should definitely be a priority.

                NHL 19 - they NEED TO FOCUS ON REALISM

                Screw the arcade gimmicks and follow the lead of MLB The Show and go for REALISM, nuances of the game, etc.

                75% of the players should have their face or at least be very close to the real life counterpart (hair, facial hair, etc.)

                More goalie equipment and NEW MASKS (give each team 4 or 5 goalie masks and try to get the rights to include some real masks worn by goalies)

                Fine tune the game play so there is more REAL HOCKEY strategy, dump ins, board battles, cycling, etc

                Some small improvements to key areas would make an enormous impact on this game.

                Hopefully the frostbite engine is in next year

                  I’ve neen ringing this bell for a while. If they just sat down and fixed some of the glaring issues with AI and focused on board play and looser pucks as well as had a major presentation overhaul that captures a real NHL game (after whistle scrums, 5 MAN CELEBRATION, and reactions that fit the situation both by the players and commentary) it would be a new game. When you look at the last few releases it is without a doubt stale and plagued with legacy issues

                    Re: Annual EA survey previewing NHL 19 features

                    All I'll say is that if I play the beta next year and there aren't significant improvements in the gameplay department, nothing else they put into the game will make me buy it. Anyone who isn't prioritizing gameplay features has I'm lost the plot. It is the single most important area that needs to be addressed.

                    Over the course of each iteration, a large majority of people will spend 90%+ of their time playing the game. By this, I mean on ice action so exhibition, online, eashl, drop-in, hut, versus, etc. No matter how great the customization features are, or the graphics are, if you're not enjoying the game, you'll not come back to play it.

                    Honestly, I don't understand the point of this survey. It seems like there's a real lack of understanding at EA about what makes a game successful/gives it longevity. Modes are nice but it's always been about depth and refining your game mechanics to make it as enjoyable as possible.

                        Some are under the delusion that sliders can fix a flawed and bug filled AI. It just won’t hapoen. Sliders can help in some areas just not the core fundamental AI issues that make this game play nothing like ice hockey.

                          "New Commentators"? That would be surprising.

                            lmao, I thought this year they were supposed to have real life commentary updates that reflect real world scenarios. Yet here we are columbus day in the game is referred to as thanksgiving day

                              If you look at what they have done, which is very little with commentary and everything going on with Eddie personally, not surprised. Doc just can't bring the same intensity that he does in real life into the game. Myself and other suggested using real life audio for goal calls to help like the EA UFC team does with Bruce Buffer when he's introducing the fighters, but looks like they didn't want to go that route.

                              VERY curious to see if they bring in actual NHL guys or professional actors(who aren't goofy like that guy in NHL 3s) who sound like NHL guys, or perhaps minor league/college commentators like Madden did with their commentators(College PBP Guy and NFL color commentary guy).

                              The commentary just did not grow after NHL 16. Everything went into NHL 15 and 16 and small tweaks after with 17/18.
