can ref whistle speed be adjusted via tuner?

[Splitter77]

This is probably my biggest complaint now with the game.
Is there a way ea can tune the game to have the whistle blow quicker when the. Goalie has rhe puck?
It should be save.whistle.
Now its save.play the puck and the game goes non stop for half the period.

This is about online gamemodes, right? Cpu goalie never passes the puck away unless I skate away from the let him play the puck.

Yes and no, Taku. You're right that if you're near the CPU goalie he won't play the puck, so it is more of an issue in OTP/1v1. However, what Splitter wants is a quicker whistle in situations where the goalie won't be playing the puck so we don't have to stand by the goalie for a second or two to force the whistle. IIRC, they had it tuned in such a way a few years ago.

I'm not sure if it's something that can be adjusted in a tuner, but I wouldn't be surprised. If they'd want to adjust it is probably the more important question.

There are saves which leads into quick whistle but they are bit rare so maybe it could be tuned...

[Splitter77]

Yeah, im talking offline play.
I dont want to swarm the goalie for 2 seconds to get a whistle.
It would also help my goalie as well, as I wouldnt have the urge to shovel the puck away with my goalie.

It is set at 1.5 seconds now. I don't think it has changed since last year (and probable not even the last few). It is possible to change it with tuning updates, but we'd have to assess the impact of doing that.

thanks for the response redshirt.
Hopefully you guys can test it a bit in the next tuner.

Just looking for some more ways to get some stoppages in playas well.
