Be a Pro - Let us play in the Juniors/AHL

Let's be fair here, no one goes into playing a Be A Pro character to Be a 3rd line check forward. Everyone wants to get to superstardom. I also think you take a lot of things way out of context.

You're supposed to be Conner Bayard or Sean Wright. At the point in which the game picks up, youbare 17 or 18 getting ready to be drafted and you are in the Memorial or European Cup playoffs. So, let's actually discuss this.

Would it be cool to play in the AHL? Yes, but is it the way all players go? No, some, a very select few go right into the NHL. Now, do they play on 3rd and 4th Line, yes. Would it be cool to live that way? Sure, but let's be honest, the majority of players (which IS NOT reflected by this forum) want to be all stars. Personally, I play Power Forwards, and I like to step up to Gabriel Landiskog and Matthew Tuchuk... I don't play the game to hang out with Morgan Geekie on the third line.

Also, almost every player who makes the NHL played since they were a kid. You are asking for 1 year in the AHL, why not ask for ages 14 to 17 in the CHL, OHL, or QMJHL, then a year on the AHL Bottom 6, a year on the AHL 2nd and on the AHL first before you finally make the NHL Team? That's more realistic. Heck, by that logic, there should be a chance you are never brought up to the NHL, as again that could happen.

I think, rather then calling the game unplayable, as its not... Its frustrating, but not unplayable ...Ask for more development:

Dear EA,

We, the offline gamers, would like you to consider putting the option to play in the Juniors as an option, that way we can earn a 78 to 82 rating, which would make more sense as that's the average for a first overall pick. At that point, really amp up the challenge by giving us the chance to prove ourselves in the Preseason or else we get sent to the AHL, it would give us a much deeper sense of accomplishment in a game we really want to love.

Signed,

Your Fans

What we tend to do, is attack, which I am totally guilty of, I'll admit. We need to give them better reasons then "we don't like it" becuase frankly, we sound like petulant children screaming over getting peas and not chocolate.

As for this being the same game, three years in a row, I completely agree. Bug fixes at the least would rock as would new features, just small ones, but alas, I'm going to play 6 or 7 season, to get my pro up to have a full deck of X-Factors and then never play again.
