@EA_AljoThanks for the replies.
I think there's a big divide in the NHL gaming community between Online vs Offline players.
@Atishksingh The problem was a decade ago game development was cheaper too. FIFA sells like 8mil copies a year give or take a mil or 2. NBA and Madden probably at least in the 4 to 5mil copies sold if not higher for NBA. Thing is NHL just is a niche sport compared to those worldwide games that are easier to play in the real world. I think even back in the day NHL maybe sold 1.5mil copies at best ever.
It's just like the pro athletes. NBA, NFL, Euro star players get paid way more than the NHL's best.
So when you take all that into account you can definitely see who is gonna have a small budget and much much smaller developer team. EA knows that investing more resources into the series isn't gonna make sales go up enough to make up for the cost. The reason the online modes get the attention is because of Esports and it gets the NHL name out there advertised. They don't want to look super silly when it's streamed for prizes and huge issues happen.
For many people the PS360 era of sports games were the peak when it came to FIFA, Madden, NCAA, and NHL. NBA2K is the only one that got better... so much better they embarrassed to quit making NBA Live.

@KlariskraysNHLThat definitely was the peak era. I do wonder if eventually some of these niche sports titles like NHL just become online games instead of on game consoles.
I think many gamers from that era are also realizing that itll never be like that again anytime in the near future. Sports games will probably continue to just cater to the online community. Many of us that are late 30s or older are having to just deepen our own rosters for which ever NHL game you put the work into and just continue from there.
