My Honest review of NHL 23
Sinc the last update was probably the last, I think it is safe to assume that this is the final version of the game right now. So, let me try and dissect the game for all it's worth and with the same...

Sadly much of this is pretty much a pipe dream at this point! EA is too focused on making EA NHL an arcade ballerina fest! No realism for us diehards anymore. Me and HDR have been asking for changes to BAP for 3 years now and nothing! Doubt it will ever happen because EA HQ doesn't care about the EA NHL series nor their short-staffed dev team that are forced to meet unrealistic deadlines and let the community managers take the fire instead of the executives actually issuing a proper business etiquette statement towards their customers for providing us such a game! Aljo and the other community managers have done their best and this is a dead series which has lost my support!
@BIGRlTCHY Yeah. I agree at a 100% and quite frankly, if I did not received the game for free, I wouldn't have touched it and even so, I still felt ripped off. I am not buying another NHL game, unless there is significant changes to every game modes.
I'll say this tho, even with a short-staffed team, what NHL games are today is unacceptable. Its starting to feel like a way to escape criticisms. Over the span 8 years, nothing has changed in the core gameplay and that's alarming.

While Franchise and Be A Pro are the only things I play, sadly, I have to agree. 100% correct on the LTIR. And the GM name, that really don’t make since. No penalties ever called on the CPU and that’s with the sliders at 100. I play 3 or 4 games in a row with no penalties. Just sad. And Be A Pro? Let’s just say what you said but just add unplayable. Not sure about buying this game next season. But if I do and some changes look sufficient, could the Golden Knights get new freaking goalie masks? They are the worst ones in the game!!
- @Koneko_NekoRDB Lack of competition has killed this franchese due to EA's greed. We will never see a true simulation hockey game ever again.
