I think something the NHL series should adopt from their UFC brethren is the concept of having 'Seasons' and ranked fights that have certain weight classes you need to fight in during periods of the ...

Community ManagerThe problem with 2 different modes is that it means 2 different leaderboards and stat tracking for each. Which, isn't as easy as it sounds to implement. Not that it's particularly challenging, but would take more time and resources that could be applied to more popular areas of the game. Online Versus is seen as a little more casual. I think making it sim would disappoint a large part of the playerbase. However, there are more hardcore players that don't enjoy HUT. In some ways, Online Versus can already be a challenge just due to having players closer to their real world abilities as opposed to the inflated HUT overalls. I always play with Arizona. When using a team with lower overalls, it can be pretty challenging. I'll pass on the feedback. Thanks!

Thanks for your input on this…
I don’t think that having 2 different leaderboard is that big of a deal… Once it is programmed (the leaderboard) it should run by itself, no ?
Im gonna share my first and LAST ONLINE experience in EAs NHL about 5 years ago….
I don’t exactly remember the mode, but I played against a kid that screamed in my ears the whole time. He scored 5 or 6 goals that were exactly the same. And when he scored, he would do a celebration where he went sliding face first on the ice 😳 So it was 6-0 in about 5 minutes… Let me tell you that it was the worst online experience of my whole life in any game… Never went online ever again…
That kid that probably used the META over and over all day long against other people too…. Is that suppose to be fun ? Challenging ? Is that the sport of Hockey ?
