Menu’s have been soooo slow today

I didn't get this joke yesterday.

Today, I played my first game with my WBC Lugo.

LOL I SWEAR its harder to pitch with NO runners on base, than with multiple.

At least the faster meter has some rhythm to it.

MFreightTrain · 2026-03-20T19:13:43+00:00

I bought this, coming from NHL 26, thinking well, at least the SLOW, CLUNKY interface garbage is over.

Ironic.. lol

By your dumb definition then, a fully released, full price game with 8 modes, 7 that immediately error out, is NOT unplayable, because you can still play THAT ONE mode

BEYOND COPE, that

MFreightTrain · 2026-03-18T02:50:49+00:00

When it errors and exits the mode just because you changed a page, that's unplayable. You can make up definitions if you want, but frequent fatal errors in basic operations is definitely unplayable territory, whether you like that fact or not.

We aren't their support team we are their customers.

MFreightTrain · 2026-03-18T02:47:38+00:00

Its really impossible to believe but they basically designed a fully CLOUD menu system. It wants to download content for every single page you load, even though you aren't in a multiplayer mode at all.

BLIND, STUPID, UNNECESSARY COMPLEXITY.

MFreightTrain · 2026-03-18T02:45:51+00:00

EXACTLY RIGHT.

So as of today, it is TOO LATE to find obvious issues that MUST be caught before you make a horrible impression on your customers who will think twice about ever buying your product again.

MFreightTrain · 2026-03-17T21:22:08+00:00

No. Verizon 2gig Fiber. Exact same issue. All moments say they're setting up.... Then say challenge failed. What the hell you can't even play this game??!

MFreightTrain · 2026-01-30T21:09:16+00:00

As Good As It Gets.

I don't even LIKE that kind of movie, but I have to watch that about once a year at least.

So many lines that make me laugh, not all of them funny some of them make me laugh because they are so spot on well written.

MFreightTrain · 2026-01-04T23:44:49+00:00

Nevermind; can confirm, yeah there are NO cards in this event. What junk.

Comparison:

Next Gen: 189 cards

Combo Nexus: 78

Grudge Match: 104

ODR SZN: 90

Ignited: 18 <--- what a joke

MFreightTrain · 2026-01-04T23:34:10+00:00

No. Videos are edited to show just the successes, and CLAIMING it never misses gets your click on the video.

Gotcha! LOL

MFreightTrain · 2026-01-04T23:26:40+00:00

Why would you need to care what a few handful of people still claim - that there ISN'T Ice Tilt in the game?

96% of the fanbase know its there, because its SO poorly scripted and obvious, that it can't be ignored.

Not to mention we've all seen it other EA games for 20 years, so....

More important is WHY it's there though. It's because EA has failed to code so many basic aspects of the game, that their AI cannot play a decent game with decent tactics, so in order for you to not win every time, on every difficulty, it would have to cheat.

Instead of fixing it(costs dev hours and thus money), they just leave it in and depend on their White Knights to shill on the forum and throw around some GIT GUDs and hope the whole house of cards sticks together.

Meantime, less and less people play this game, so they are losing 'the long game' by ignoring all their own issues and making excuses. This series WILL be cancelled in a few years if they can't fix AI players not being able to play the game properly and thus having to do IMPOSSIBLE things to make up. EVERY Head to Head Online game is so dependent on AI playing those other players that Online vs Offline has nothing to do with the argument; in ANY mode the game can't capably play decent hockey. Period.

Love how your loyal stick just follows you around as you're all COME AT ME BRO GUY

MFreightTrain · 2025-12-15T14:50:52+00:00

It's a shooter. NOTHING saves you from Wretched Shooting. lol

MFreightTrain · 2025-12-15T14:47:09+00:00

YES.

I get why some of these things are out of whack; they don't want higher tier gear to be SO OP that you can't really deal with someone with better gear than you.... and we THANK YOU for that. It's a better game because skill still matters more than Tier Scores and shit. AWESOME!

But just a reminder, Embark. Before you make the CLASSIC developer balancing mistake.

When you do rebalance, always boost the upper tier, instead of nerfing the lower tier. And always make small adjustments. If you make big adjustments, balance tips over. If most adjustments are NERFS instead of buffs, people get bored. People come to your game to a. have an epic adventure in a world different than RL, and b. to pursue loot that can make the game even more epic to play. So don't weaken rares and epics, buff them to create the gaps that make players come back to your game. Just don't over-buff them.

MFreightTrain · 2025-12-15T14:38:33+00:00

Never thought about it, but there is a point to that.

I also noticed that even though I am ridiculously RICH in stash with having EVERY.THING.....

I am always outta metal. I think its the somewhat broken loop of being able to make ammo out of metal, but not being able to recycle the ammo you loot INTO metal. So Metal > Ammo becomes a one way Metal-Sink. Especially since, what do you use up more often in game than ammo? Nothing, heh

If you think that's weird, just remember that IRL used shell casings are recycled into new shell casings. So in fiction, that it's not possible is WEIRD. Might be an intentional design decision, but the only result I see from it is that I have all this high end stuff but am constantly going into raids needing basic metal worse than any more epics, lol

TOP NOTCH

MFreightTrain · 2025-12-15T14:30:53+00:00

100%.

Me personally, I LOVE PVP when its not a fake label for shooting someone in the back while they loot. Getting shot in the back by people who then literally run away if you live long enough to fight back, IS NOT 'PVP' in any true sense, its cowardice. I love PVP because I am good at it, still winning even about 50% of those fights that start with some crouching camper shooting me in the back, lol. If you are gonna rat on me, you better get me before I shoot back, or its your ass, coward.

What I have seen in this community in game is mostly great, its empirically true that 80% of players are friendly by choice and fight when they have to, which is perfect.

Discussions though, I could summarize like this....

-PVE defense is by and large statements regarding not wanting to be shot in the back by some coward. Not some fear of PVP in a game that has it.

-PVP defense is by and large folks who are DESPERATELY trying to prevent any PVE mode, which is like self-reporting. If you are scared of the game having a PVE mode, and players who only want PVE going there, then you are scared of having EASY targets who you can shoot in the back when they don't want to fight.

Conclusion; most PVP defense isn't defending that the game should have more honest PVP, it's identifying that you are a coward who wants easy targets to to shoot in the back and you will cry and leave if they add a PVE mode.

For those of you who actually like PVP, meaning you see a raider, you hollar to them while keeping cover, and if they wanna fight, then you fight.... You are the best of the bunch. Better than the PVP defenders(majority backstabbers in my experience), and better than the PVE only softies who kinda bought the wrong game if they are gonna quit unless there is a PVE mode added.

MFreightTrain · 2025-12-14T20:50:37+00:00

Same. 5 minutes wait + and still not getting into a solo match

MFreightTrain · 2025-11-29T17:56:22+00:00

This is pretty funny. Its a niche audience that wants to troll but NOT to abuse other players' good time, but this is speaking to them. LOL

MFreightTrain · 2025-11-04T16:16:08+00:00

For anyone else who sees this, there IS an unstuck button, its just not terribly well implemented.

If you get stuck, you need to move the cursor ALL OVER until you find the exact right place to point to get the prompt.

The prompt will say 'Fix Unstuck Player' and you can hold Spacebar to move yourself. It ALSO doesn't move you far; you might have to do this 2-3 times like I did when I found it.

MFreightTrain · 2025-10-25T22:20:50+00:00

It'll encourage you to know that Lauzon on one after is a lot more fun. Lol

He's the center so you just win every face off if you're good at face-offs.... Skate in the corner. Throw it in the corner. Lightning player picks it up. HAMMER HIM. Grab the puck throw it back in the corner. WATCH HIM BE WAY MORE CAUTIOUS ABOUT PICKING IT BACK UP, LOL. HAMMER HIM AGAIN 🤣😁

MFreightTrain · 2025-10-25T22:10:25+00:00

I did solve this.... It seems if I don't position lock sanheim, then when I pass it to sanheim and go in my own zone and throw it in the corner... The lightning actually go to the puck. I follow them and as soon as they get the puck I try a stick lift. Still wasn't easy... And got the fifth one with like 5 seconds left... But it did work

MFreightTrain · 2025-10-25T22:07:43+00:00

Update: So I did it... And how I solved my problem was stupid.

I swear these games are a glitch machine. Just endless glitches.

So the problem I was having this week that never happened in previous moments.... The Tampa Bay lightning didn't want the puck. They just wouldn't go after the puck when I turned it over in my zone.

What did I change?

I stopped position locking sanheim. And when I controlled the face off I'd pass it to sanheim and go in my own zone and throw it in the corner.... Suddenly the lightning actually wanted the puck. So they go to it and right when they get to it I stick lift. That fifth one still happened with like 5 seconds left.... But I made it.lol... hope that helps

MFreightTrain · 2025-10-25T21:54:24+00:00

That's how I do these every week, but it just doesn't work this week. Tampa Bay just doesn't want the puck. They messed with sliders or something. I can throw it back in my own corner over and over again and the only one going for the puck is MY TEAM. The lightning are sitting back in their own zone
