I'm here for this statement @WildeBEAST32!
With all the tech we get in all the other EA Games bring the game into the next phase, EA Hockey focuses on online play. I get it, that's the major draw for the game, and that's because they don't bring their "A" game. I mean EA Hockey is pretty much a Low Bottom 6 F.
If they had a really good offline mode, they'd attract more players, but their focus is online gaming. Don't get me wrong, I love the online play, I just don't have time to dedicate to it anymore. I'll stick with NHL20, so I can fix the Franchise Mode Errors.... High Elite Center at 26, which a 68 in face offs, makes no sense... especially when they don't even have a second position... Also why do some Goalies show up as G/G.... They are a Goalie, but also a Goalie?
