I really wish that they would scrap the continuous OT currantly in place, and instead replace it with the real life NHL format, 5 min OT then shootout. Or at the very least have a shootout after the first 20 minute OT period (yes I know it's 5 minutes in real time). I would want a dev to chime in on this, and tell us if you've made any changes to the format, and the reasoning one way or the other.

I just think it would add more fun to EASHL, as imo shootouts are more exciteing, and fun then just playing endless OT periods. Hell, just yesterday I played a 6 OT game, and was ready for a drink, and a nap after it ended. Thoughts?

It used to be in the format you proposed. A 5 minute OT then a shootout. The problem was glitches were way more rampant and everyone just glitched. Also, they had AI shooting which they should change if they go back.

I don't mind the continuous OT. I like it better.

I wish vs play at the very least had an option for cont. League games and playoffs should have it but don't.

I prefer the continuous OT. Shootouts have no place in EASHL, in my opinion. tbh, they should have 20 mins of OT, if still tied make it a tie maybe? (reg. season only) .. or leave it as is.

I think the format they have it in right now is perfect, I think it gives a much more satisfying conclusion.

I prefer it as it is, what a feeling of relief when you win a game in 7th OT

Penalty shots would bring a whole bunch of problems to the game, AI goalie, AI taking shots, glitch shots etc...

Definitely keep the continuous OT format.

As mentioned before, they already had the OT/Shootout format and it just did not work out.

Besides, it just isn't fun unless you go 2-3 Overtimes.

I think something like a 3OT limit would work. Not very realistic, but if you play an entire 2nd game with no result, just go to the shootout.

I think most games would get settled in the 3OTs, but prevent those endless games from going on.
