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 ...

But you would think that also "the vocal majority that thinks the game 'sucks'" eventually will match up against each other and at least 1 of the 2 will convert to vote for a META that rewards skill.
I think it would take some time for people to get use to a less 'sexy' gameplay were not everything is a 'slam-dunk', but when people do find it and they realize thats a whole lot of ugliness in realism.
Thats when the game starts to grow, fo real, when thoose 'highlight reel' you see often today becomes to be the rarity it deserves to be.
Imagine to actually be impress by the skill of your opponent.
If not everything would happen by some auto input.
Exactly… We’ll said…
See Sega, my "highlight reel" are when I make a sound hockey play…. I pump my fist in the air when I score a goal that I would see in real life. A goal where I took the right decision and took the right angle or whatever. Not because I used a META over and over…
Usually people go play online to be with friends or for the competition… I mean all of this will still be there and more. More, because the Hockey CORE will be there and it will attract more players because of the true gameplay, I’m sure…

Hockey should be like a puzzle were every piece mather, you dont want EA to put out 998 of a puzzle of 1000 pieces and you get to put out the last 2 of them and pretend you have accomplish anything.
Or if your dream is to climb Mount Everest, but instead of taking the long run you take the helicopter to the top.
No satisfaction.
The more a human need to work for a result, the better satisfaction.
A whole lot goes on auto reapeat in our game, which I think is the reason why people loose intrest.
Need to be more of a challenge, something to work for, whats the point of doing something if everything comes easy and everyone knows how to do it?
Another topic - OnlineVs is most close to be a simulation because of the constant ovr rating, which makes onlineVs a perfect suit for that purpose.
HUT is already HUT, onlineVs should at least try to be a mode for people that enjoy more of a realistic touch of the game then the speedx10 hockey on steroids you get with HUT' Zzzzz.
Hey man, I think we are brothers from another mother, lol !
What you are saying about every little piece matters is so true… For me when I play, it’s all in the little details and that’s where you get to appreciate all the nooks and crannies of hockey.
I always play "player lock" and never asking for a pass, everything is on manual. And I get to enjoy all the little nuances of every shift… Should I cover this guy or this guy ? Should I go for a pinch here ? If I go for a hit there, will I put myself out if position too much ? We are getting tired, when is the best moment to go for a line change ? My brain is always on high alert even when I don’t have the puck… That’s where you get to savour the game in my opinion 😀
BTW Sega, have you ever tried the game with my settings, roster and recommendations ? Let me know if you do, I can guarantee you won’t be disappointed 😉

Hehe There's definitely something about you that I like. Soul brothers. 👊😏
By diffrent reasons I dont play the game anymore, but I still care for booth the game and this board and if I ever return to the game, which I hope I can do in the future, then I mos def will try your settings.
You try to keep it real, I like that. 👏
