@Sega82mega OVP is quite literally the only mode I play. The reason?
1. HUT is full of incredibly OP teams and I don't have time to grind that out nor am I willing to spend even a SINGLE CENT more than EA Play costs for this game.
2. EASHL is cool if you can get a team of 6 but I'm a grown * married man with a job and I honestly don't have the availability to schedule playing time like that... also none of my IRL friends play this game.
So, I'd be incredibly disappointed if some sort of GMC came and replaced OVP. It should come IN ADDITION to it.
What I DO think OVP needs are some M'F'n dedicated servers. WHY am I (LA-based) forced to play against someone from Toronto on their terms and vice-versa? I almost NEVER have a "good" connection because I guess there just aren't that many people playing hockey games in LA... it's a trash experience.

@NeonSkyline21 1. I agree, I don't play HUT because every high end team has the same players, none of the challenges are fun, and if I do any grinding on my team then I would be far too good to play my friends. That being said if they added a working salary cap like Madden the mode could be a lot of fun, they would likely see a lot of new people want to play, and my guess is they could see more people purchase packs.
2. EASHL is the best mode imo. I get you're busy not gonna try to convince you to get into it. I will say drop in is available but it's TOXIC. The game just needs to add more ways to find clubs or other things. If I was playing more I would just join a club of a bunch of other people who have busy/ similar schedules and just link up when you're on. That being said EA needs to have tools to help players find clubs and clubs find players..
As far as servers go, that sucks. The game says I have good connection but then some games I'll be late on a ton of faceoffs. The game seems to struggle to run smooth for a LOT of people. Heck I played the other night and green flashes kept popping up all over my screen. The game just struggles a lot.
