$30 is too much lol, this game should honestly be free to play, and even then it’s still not worth playing due to the amount of bugs and just how little fun overall the game is anyways.
The sad part is, if this game was actually free to play, they would still have problems getting and retaining players with the state it’s in currently.
People need to face facts that this franchise is too small to be run by a company made up of pure greed. Clearly the dev team we currently have, can’t even copy and paste the game without it still being broken, so how do you expect them to be given the time and resources to actually make strides with the series.

They need to fire the lead of this series.. since he took over its just been bad.. minor changes every year, not sure how much of this is on the actual devs, or is it just the lead lead saying, "idc just get me a product by the deadline.." kinda feels like #2 but who knows 🤷♂️
- @FloundinatorQQ I can see what your saying. I know the actual programmers and design team etc etc probably don't get to make many calls regarding what goes in the game and they do a pretty decent job of making things work but the suits probably just don't give a * about what happens as long as it sells and hut card sells. That's probably literally all it comes down to
plus a lot of bugs that have never been there before. It looks like someone got into the game and then got scared that it wouldn't work. It is very likely that the game code is so large and difficult to modify that every other error will multiply the previous ones. (programming term)
After 30 years, the game naturally reaches a point of diminishing returns. Massive gameplay upgrades simply aren’t realistic year to year.
Glitches, AI, etc should always be improved upon of course. But beyond the core gameplay, the things that can make a large visual impact year over year are animations/no-cap, presentation, play by play dialogue, and overall atmosphere. There will never be a shortage of real life elements to bring into the virtual game world.I feel like the gameplay is solid. With proper sliders, it can play great. The shortcomings in this game are the presentation and broadcast elements, the small details that 2K gave us a decade ago. There is a lot more room to make up ground in these areas than gameplay (in my opinion).
With these yearly releases, often with the removal of features and very little added, these games should not be $70 launch titles. All sports gaming should be patched improvements over a calendar year rather than yearly titles.
I believe EA has addressed this and said the NHL wants a yearly release and wouldn’t accept rolling updates.
long story short - in my opinion - the game is far more severely lacking in the visual presentation and little details than the core gameplay.
