EA Sports NHL When the Semi-Pro AI decides it's time for a goal

anyway, there are obviously many flaws in the game and I cant address them all in a post nor do I have the desire to, so my suggestion to EA is basically to add things to the game that lets the users heavily customize so we still have a lot of fun despite the games many flaws. Currently, in EASHL (or WOC ig) there are many options like Eliminator and drop-ins to compliment the classic clubs game mode and I would like to commend EA for that. However all of those get pretty repetitive after a while, the reason why Clubs is so fun is because you are playing with your buddies, not because of the game mode itself. There really isn't that much to achieve, winning a D1 title is cool but after a while, who cares? The new playoff system seemed cool but personally, I hate how you have to play in the outdoor rink and there's no shot you're actually gonna win the trophy. Say what you want about the old system but those 4-8 games every month felt like a real-life do or die game and you could win the title and not have to be sweaty to do it.

So after that exaggerated intro, my idea is custom leagues in EASHL

Ill get to the details but basically, it would run like LG or any other league runs right now, just it would be in the game. Those leagues have a high skill level and a decently strict time commitment that the average person can't meet (ik that is the point but work with me here). So I thought that it would be cool if in the game I could make a league hosted by my club and invite my friends clubs to compete and it could keep track of stats, standings and have our own playoffs.

So I guess ill start from making a league

League Setup

First, there would be a tab that allows you to make a league like a club and I think having all the options like an offline game would be cool too. So you can set the number of teams say from 4-30 or 32 idk what the constraints are on EAs end but for this ill say 30. You can invite a club, the same way you can challenge another club, and the GMs of the club can accept or deny the request in the inbox like a join request. The commissioner is the owner/GM of the founding club that physically pressed the start league button and they can assign as many co-commissioners as they want from any team that joins and like an owner he cannot be removed from the role while any co-commissioner can be. Any commissioner can change the rules before the season starts but during the season a vote of all the commissioners will be required for a change with the first commissioner's vote being a tiebreaker. You can edit any rules that you can offline or in play a friend so if you want touch icing or no icing at all it is up to you. I'm not including changing sliders bc idk if that affects online play in a way that would break the game. I'm also not sure about shootouts because I would love to see them but they arent in the game for EASHL currently.

Playing the season

So once you have all the teams you can make a variation of divisions and playoff formats. Depending on the number of teams you can go anywhere from 1-6 divisions (obviously only even numbers) and 4 and 6 you can put conferences. You can also set how many times you play other teams (would be more important with more teams) so a team plays like the NHL where frequency goes division, conference, intraconference, or just play each team twice, it depends on the league's size. The commissioners set the date and time for each matchup though that can be time-consuming. You could also just set it to every other day at 7 or a certain day. 5 mins before game time, you can enter the league locker room, like the playoff locker room before. Here when you press search the game will only search for your scheduled opponent like a private match, the region will default for what you set your club too and obviously you can change it if you want or the commissioner can set a league-wide one. If a team no shows a game, you can play anytime between the scheduled time and 2 hours before the next one. When it hits the limit the game is canceled and the commissioner has to set another date or they can pick a winner. The commissioner can also cancel a game before hand aswell. Now you just play the games and the game tracks stats and standings. If you can upload custom logos it would be cool if the commissioner can upload a league logo and it goes on the team's jerseys like the NHL logo irl and on the refs jerseys too.

Playoffs

The commissioner sets the playoffs, so it can be single elimination or best of 3,5,7 or make it like the MLB where different rounds have different series lengths. The fans will have towels and the commentators can say their lines programmed for the playoffs to really add to the atmosphere. It would also be cool if you could add a custom logo inside the blue lines like the Stanley Cup playoffs. At the end of every round, the winner does the normal round win animation and the Stanley Cup celebration for the championship. My idea for the trophy is either you can pick any of the in-game ones (so like Stanley Cup, Calder Cup, Mem. Cup etc.) or they could add different trophy elements and you can make a custom one. I think it would be funny if the commissioners created pro would be the guy handing out the trophy to the captain, would be funnier if he hands it to himself.

Offseason

The commissioner after the season can click a button to go to the next season, and each team will be sent an invite to accept or reject, the commissioner can also expand the league or kick teams out. The stats for players will be added to previous seasons for career totals and season stats will reset like real life. It would also be cool if when you click right stick on a player it shows the stats glossary like in stats central, it would also show an asterisk if the player lead the league in that category with min games played.

Logistics

Anyone on the club roster for a club in the league can play in the league, if you want to have trades/FA the player would have to put his player on the other team as you would now.

I've tried to create this using what is currently in the game but idk what EA is dealing with when programming the game

Custom logos are something that would be very cool in the game like 2K has, I get how they might not want to have it for online but I feel like when you accept an invite to a private league you waive your right to complain about offensive content.

You can set your league to public and anyone can join, you can also set a maximum or minimum rank so if you don't want complete sweats you can put silver/gold ranked players only. When your team joins the league you have to meet the requirement but after you can rank up and it won't affect your eligibility. A player that joins the club mid-season has to meet the requirement for their first game but a commissioner can override the rule and they will be eligible for the rest of the season.

All moves made by commissioners will be on a log that anyone can view

This is just something I thought of so if yall have suggestions or critiques i'd like to read them but I think it is something that would not be hard to add to the game and would be a selling point plus it would be very fun to have competitive games against people whose skill level is close to your teams.

TL;DR custom league that you can make in EASHL and inv other teams too

Ranked Versus Diaries - #1

Posted: 09 Apr 2021 03:40 PM PDT

Was playing against some dong who kept exploiting the same one-timer over and over again. I was able to stop it a lot of the time, but he still went up 6 - 1 on me in the first period before I could figure out how to counter his players.
Dong starts to rag in the 2nd, as his beloved one-timer is now gone and I have adjusted to the point of being able to dominate the ice. I pressure the Hell out of him and the score ends up 7 - 3 at the end of 2nd period. He's still ragging about 1 - 3 minutes off of the clock every time he possesses the puck.
Dong continues ragging, but I win some faceoffs and get a few lucky bounces. Score is at 7 - 6.
Dong pulls his goaltender to ensure that I understand that he is, in fact, a huge douche. (Like I couldn't tell from his Flyers avatar) and continues ragging the puck. Time is running out, and I am getting really frustrated chasing this dumbass all over his end of the ice.
I get lucky with a poke check and the puck ends up in his goal. I know he got mad because he paused the game the moment the goal happened. I made him watch the replay anyway. Game goes to OT.
I catch a forward wide open in the high slot, and slap one in glove side high.
I get called a homophobic slur (the only time this dude has talked)
I laugh.
The game ends.
He sends me four messages calling me a bunch of names.
I respond, "You pulled your goalie, you dumbass. You could have won easily, but you decided to show me how big of an idiot you are."
Blocked.

A victory for the ages.

For anyone wondering this dude was CR 783. I play around CR 700.

Status Bar Disappears EASHL?

Is this as a result of something that occurs in the game or safe to say it's just a bug?
