Anyone up for playing some Beta Games on the last night tonight?
In past years, it was 100% necessary. I think the AI actually does a pretty good job of getting the puck to the open guy now. Does it really matter if they can or can't now? But I do agree that sometimes you call for a pass and the AI passes it to you right away so you pass the puck off accidentally after receiving it.
To make sure that everyone gets time to experience the new gameplay tuner and offer additional feedback - We are extending the EASHL Beta until Monday, August 10, 2015, on both Xbox One and PlayStation 4. The beta will end between 10:00 am - 12:00 pm PT.
This tuner will only impact gameplay and will not affect other in-game elements such as presentation or online connection. This tuner will update EASHL player class attributes and general gameplay elements to make the game more balanced. As this is a beta, your current experience will not fully represent what will be in NHL 16 when the game launches in September. We are incredibly appreciative of all the feedback so far, and we will continue to improve and refine the experience.
EASHL Beta Gameplay Tuner:
- Lowered AI faceoff attributes.
- Lowered Power Forwards shot accuracy and chance to intercept the puck cleanly to make up for their strong puck control.
- Lowered success of the standup goalie to cover the top of the net when in the butterfly.
- Lowered strength of protecting the puck. Players will still absorb hits in the right situations, but it will lower the threshold of the strength of the collision to cause the player to stumble.
- Lowered balance on all classes slightly to go hand in hand with the lowering of puck control strength when protecting the puck.
- Decreased friction on boards to help regular passes kick around easier.
- The goalie will favor the shooter more, taking away the short-side but will be more vulnerable to cross-ice passes as a result.
- Lowered AI goalie speed moving across for passes.
- Less goalie error on slower pucks on net towards their 5-hole.
- Lowered AI goalie aggression to come out and play the puck and chance of flipping the puck over the glass.
- Lowered goalie passing/shooting speed.
- Decreased player controlled goalie speed in core movement (T-pushes and full butterfly pushes) to make them easier to control.
- Lowered speed of goalie passing the puck out from their glove when they are covering the puck, and raised the ability for a near opponent to intercept it.
- Increased player controlled goalies ability to make saves near their body when they are cutting off the angles, and decreased ability to make saves when they are back on the goal line and forced to reach out to the edges of the net.
- Added a fix to prevent faceoff spamming from working.
- Reduced wrap around success for shooters to be more in line with the player controlled goalies ability to get over.
Yea just send an invite and I or someone else will get you in todaySince they extended the beta, the temptation to take advantage of Gamestop used game policy has greatly risen...will there be room for a ps4 guy this weekend?

I tried joining the club, but it looks like it's been maxed out? (21 members)
I'll be around for most of the evening, I'll have some company over for a bit maybe 4 hours from now, but I'll be here before then and after.
We can boot some people that have 0 games played and get you in
Cool, I'll be around for a while so whenever you or whoever's got club control is able to take care of that, just let me know. PSN is york887.
Ill be home in about 20 mins and ill take care of it unless Aces sees the thread
Cool, I'm playing with the OS guys right now, but whenever you and the fellas would like to play and I'll be right there to send that request whenever our current game is done. I told them I was just a mercenary for hire!
So far, the game feels good. Feels slower than I remember but I don't have a problem with that at all. I'm not positive about input lag---I was a split second late a few times, but I think that was mostly my fault. You definitely have to set yourself up better to make passes, isn't going to be as OP as years past with all the other kinds of builds. So far I've chosen Sniper.
Playing this game made me so happy though. It's been WAY too long.
Try sending your request again, the pending requests may have been full.
Sent the request. Had two nice warm up games.
Going to get me a bite to eat and feed the dog, and I'll be on whenever yall want to get this started.
