    Every time you ask a game changer or someone from EA they just give you an answer like, 'we're looking into it."

    I would love to say I have faith in EA but I honestly don't. I'd be surprised if this gets fixed anytime soon.

    It has something to do with the coding of the game and they claim they had no idea this was in it. What about the game changers testing the game and playing EASHL, was there home captain delay and button delay when they did and we'll never know?

    I truly hope they fix it and I do want to play this season but I can already see it might be a huge mess.

    I like Mavs idea with tweeking lagout rules and such. EA isn't going to do shit anytime soon. They never do and care nothing for this league or the people in it. Here's another solution it may suck but it is what it is.

    Give people the option to retire but do it within a week or 2 of regular season this way we can prevent the ones who are just leaving because of a bad team late in the season, put through random assignments so there are the most people we can get per organization. It sucks but call up AHL players to replace those who retire and then the AHL can call up random assignments. While this may suck it is what it is and we need to deal with the hand we are delt. If people don't want to do the whole call-up thing then use ecus for the lagging player(s).

    As it stands right now the delay would be a week to see what changes but what also is important to understand is by Monday the AHL and chl will have their rosters selected.


    Therefore a quick preseason for them allows them an opportunity to get use to the OCR.

    Look how many NHL games still have errors and missing pictures and stats from this week. The idea of preseason was to test tris tools and give everyone a chance to get use to them.

    Should the AHL be afforded the same benefit?

    Then we can go from there. Maybe we change the host to the away team to simulate home ice advantage and maybe we implement a rule so that lag outs and such don't have a penalty associated to them yet.

    We will more than likely do a hybrid delay and play and try to make the best of what we have now

    As someone who has played more games with captain delay than anyone in this shit community, I say play. They aren't finding a fix anytime soon.

    1 week pushes the season through the holidays and up to a two week pause to complete regular season before play offs & also affects off-season and start of next season. Hopefully a shorten (as some suggested) season to keep things in line is the plan. This would at least help keep league time line for the year fit my yearly schedule.

    You may know something I don't, but I would be shocked if this issue is addressed by EA within a week or so.

    I'm also pretty sure when you're the away team in the NHL on your way onto the ice they don't assault one of your players and make you play 6v5 but I could be wrong.

    I am not techy enough to understand why this occurs. I just know they have delivered a patch prior to the game release including this game mode so we could run league play.

    I spoke with my contacts and all they have told me is that they are aware it is an issue and it has been worked on for two weeks in a row now. I also know they have been following certain members like Lundy I assume to see if they can pin point why he gets these issues. Chislett swears he never gets the issues so I gave his tag to Ea yesterday so maybe they can see how he is connecting and why he is so blessed.

    So what are you suggesting?

    As it stands right now round one game seven is on Xmas eve. Easy game to reschedule. Round two game seven is on New Year's Eve. Easy game to reschedule.

    I just don't know if you are dying delay and shorten or not at all.

    There is usually time off at the holidays or typically play offs run through them so it affects less people going away. It's usually a week or 2 break but if you push back the season it gets mixed into this whole holiday break.

    You have it set for a 1 week hold for the season start & I am suggesting that the season be reduced by that week and not push the whole yearly schedule back a week or more due to delay start. I kind of rely on the seasons & off seasons to fall where they do. More so the first season finishing into the off-season mostly.

    I never considered pushing the season back. It would be shortened if anything.

    I also see no need to reschedule games for Xmas and New Years when those holidays are both Thursday-Friday-Saturday. The only reason to give a two week lay off is when those holiday land in the middle of our weeks. In VHL when Xmas was near or on the weekend we played right through

    A patch? The Beta was issue free, apparently the "patch" was the problem.

    I must have been Chislett on the beta because I didn't have a problem with it nor did anyone I was playing with. Did you personally ever have a problem with it on the Beta?
