    Re: Is the neutral zone pressure gone post patch???

    I’m hoping that they’ll put it back the way it was before the patch. I have bought every nhl game since sega and I have to say it was the most fun I’ve had in a long time pre patch.

      Almost always the release version of nhl seems to play better. Then the hut and online people complain and patches seem to make it play worse for offline.
      Online guy to EA, my guy keeps getting checked in the neutral zone, I can't dangle through 5 guys like last year, please fix.

      I haven't downloaded this patch yet because I really like the game play, it's not perfect but better than '20.

            Looks not so SIM like settings...

            I don’t think the NZ play is gone too....with the right settings of course.

              Yep.. that's your issue, you need to be on simulation and all star. Simulation is the key here.

                Ya I have yet to see any problems with neutral zone pressure in the 3 games since the 23rd. It’s playing the exact same to be honest.

                    Posted this in the other thread but the lack of NZ pressure is related to the "speed glitch" which happens all of the time on Xbox, can't speak for the PS. Normally my first game of the day is fine after a hard shutdown, so if you can get the game in the state where you used to feel the NZ pressure, it shouldn't be any different.

                    When the game gets into the "speed glitch"/"bezerk mode" the NZ pressure starts to disappear/be extremely beatable to a point where you don't really notice it. The "speed glitch" will never be fixed as EA claims it doesn't exist despite the fact that 2 game using the same teams in Play Now can feel drastically more/less sloppy, faster/slower depending on the game state without changing a single slider.

                      On full sim the neutral zone pressure is still there, for sure

                        Re: Is the neutral zone pressure gone post patch???

                        Its definitely there, imo even with the patch. Im using TNK’s sliders playing on 12 minute periods and CGY held me to just 1 shot in the first period of my last game.

                          I’m not seeing that, I play on all star and only slider I touched is attributes, I turned them up all the way. I can usually skate in the zone down the side barely any pressure at all , nothing like pre patch. I play 7 min periods

                            This is exactly what I'm seeing (or not seeing) too, and this is very obvious in most of the online (cpu vs cpu) videos also. I have asked someone to post a video where the nz pressure is clearly present as I find it very hard to believe that it would be mysteriously different on others. Right now the players can skate coast to coast and maybe once or twice during a whole game there is some kind of a contact in the neutral zone. Mostly the dmen are just backing up to their own zone and right after blue line they try to hit or pokecheck.

                              Like Hipnotic says, it’s related to the (loooong time) speed or slider glitch!

                                If you have an Xbox, I'd suggest hard powering off the console and then trying to play the game again. It's the only workaround I've seen to combat this "speed glitch" issue NHL games have had this entire generation. I did this, and I've had some great games with great pressure post-patch.

                                I play 1/2 the game (and period) with each team, definitely been held to under 5 shots a half multiple times.
