Re: EA Sports NHL: 20th Anniversary Video Chapter 5 - NHL 11 And Beyond
I'd like to see more options for offline games, and offline co-op especially.
For multiple human players vs the CPU;
Face-off option: Player 1 (or 2 or 3) does all faceoff's / Alternate between all players / alternate upon faceoff loss...
Coaching option: Player 1 (or 2 or 3) does all coaching / Free for everyone...
Post-game Stats (player wise): I't would be great with some stats per player (as in player 1, 2, 3 etc), like; Player 1: 12 shots / 2 goals / 25 passes / 75 pass % / 5 hits / 12 penalty minutes...
Randomize groups/teams in Tournaments: Me and a couple of mates love to play the International tourney (co-op). But unless we go in and manually change the teams in the groups (which is time consuming and boring) we're always playing the same teams, in the same order, every time. This hasn't changed one bit since at least NHL 08.
A simple click to randmoize the teams in the group stage would be so easy to implement, but such an improvement.
In-game player switching.
In this year's game the player switching feels somewhat more defensive than last years game.
As soon as your team has lost the puck and you switch player (R2/RT) you're most likely going to switch to one of your defenders, even if you have a chasing player up close.
While this can be handy at times, you (EA) already have a mechanism for switching to your defender; Holding R2/RT (as opposed to tapping it); So really no need to be so defensive on the regular switch (tap)
This mechanism is working great, and should be used for the offensive as well, which is noticable weak when you're playing co-op with HUM team mates.
(Your human team mate has the puck, and two wingers are skating up the ice for a breakaway, but you keep switching between the defenders closest to the puck).
So it should be tweaked to something like
On the defense (opponent has the puck).
Tap R2/RT: Switch between players closest to the puck, even a chasing player.
Hold R2/RT: Switch between defenders (players closest to your own goal).
On the offense (your team has the puck).
Tap R2/RT: Switch between players closest to the puck.
Hold R2/RT: Switch between wingers/forwards (players closest to opponents goal).
I like how the sliders this year seems more effective, but still like to see a greater range in them. When a sliders is set on 0 it should really ineffective, while on max it should be over the top effective.
Think about hitting for example. Even on 1 or 0, it's real easy to lay out loads of big hits every game.
