HUT Sim Mode

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the Sim Mode introduced in NHL 23. It has completely changed the way I experience the game, and I truly believe it should become the main mode for both HUT Champs and HUT Rivals. Here's why:

  1. Realism at Its Best: Sim Mode brings a level of realism to NHL gaming that I've been craving for a long time. The reduced assist and slower gameplay make every decision and play matter. It's like stepping onto the ice and experiencing the sport firsthand. It's a refreshing departure from the fast-paced, arcade-style gameplay that has dominated previous iterations.

  2. Rewarding Skill and Strategy: Sim Mode puts a strong emphasis on skill, strategy, and teamwork. It rewards players who excel in reading the game, making smart plays, and utilizing their hockey IQ. It's a welcome shift from relying solely on individual exploits or exploiting game mechanics. It's about honing our skills and truly earning our victories.

  3. Enhanced Competitive Environment: By making Sim Mode the main mode for HUT Champs and HUT Rivals, we would create a more level playing field for all players. It would ensure that success is determined by a combination of skill, teamwork, and game intelligence. This change would foster healthy competition and create a more engaging and fair experience for everyone involved.

  4. Responding to Community Feedback: As players, we've been vocal about our desire for a more realistic and immersive hockey experience. The introduction of Sim Mode shows that EA Sports NHL is listening to our feedback. Making it the main mode for HUT Champs and HUT Rivals would be a fantastic response to the community's desires and strengthen the connection between players and the developers.

I urge EA Sports NHL to seriously consider making Sim Mode the main mode for HUT Champs and HUT Rivals. It would elevate the franchise to new heights and provide players with the authentic hockey experience we've been yearning for. Let's come together and make Sim Mode the star of NHL 23!

Share your thoughts, support, and experiences with Sim Mode below. Together, we can shape the future of NHL gaming.

    Hey there, @Masaitl 

    Thanks for all the feedback. Really appreciate you taking the time to share it. I'm really enjoying the sim mode as well and we're getting a lot of positive feedback for it. I don't know what future plans are yet, but should we have some news, that will be shared on our official channels.

    SIM mode should be the standard for HUT & Online VS going forward. I'd like it for CHEL too but, all 1v1 modes should be SIM only. This mode is a bigger QOL upgrade to the game than presentation intros, new card packs and the auction house

  • Here's my feed back.... this mode is trash..... every mode is trash... nothing realistic.... you cater to gen z glitch playing trash and 90%of your customers will bail the minute another game comes out
