Oh man, some big changes. They completely nerfed the grinder. And also, buffed up a ton of classes too. Goalie changes too but we'll see. Less delections now but hopefully, they cover the post more...
Increased the minimum rating a player needs to get a saucer lift on a regular pass. Now Playmaker, Jumbo Playmaker and Puck Moving D will be the only players with the advantage.
Grinder build getting hacked to pieces. lol. Guess i'll keep playing with 2-way Dangler or just straight out Dangler...
Good stuff on the goalie skills. But what about the stupid ass AI getting worse by the minute? lol. I bet NHL18 will feature "All new AI from scratch". lol. obviously it shouldn't be a feature but we all know how EA works.
You guys going to be on tonight? I got an NA meeting 7 to to 8 so maybe 830?
Anyone online?
Apparently, in 6 v 6, Grinder was the auto-pick class due to its strength...
And nothing on AI is disappointing. Often feels like you need to exploit the AI to win.
Games to try out the patch?
Sure
Anyone playing tonight?
Feel free to add me, just had our first child, so my time is a bit limited now, but I can put in good stretches on weekends especially. Gregoire_Bruin. I play anything but goalie (I can get by in net, but haven't played much this year) and have been playing exclusively 6's. Quick puck movement and cycling hockey is what I'm best at but I'm versatile and can fit into whatever style is being played.
I can play tonight around 7h30am EST to 11pm if daughter lets me.. ROFL
