Community Manager@EA_Aljo ; Any update on if full in-game presentation (goalie comparison, replays, season stats, etc.) is going to be patched in for PS4 version in franchise mode? The condensed broadcast is the only option, unlike NHL 22. All games I play have zero presentation at all, which is what we were told would be the main changes for NHL 23? Probably just going to go back to NHL 22 if this isn't fixed. Seems odd to market the game based on presentation updates, when the only difference I can see in the game is that the presentation as a whole has been axed and the only change to the game is the roster and the color of the menu bar is now orange (whoop dee doo).
Would really like to see this added back into the game. I enjoy the experience of seeing the progression in a franchise season, including points leaders and in-game replays. The game just moves from play to play and does not have anything to it. Minus the graphics, this game feels like a huge regression from NHL 22, and I feel like I'm playing NHL 99 on my nintendo with the lack of substance to the actual hockey gameplay. Please patch this, or let me know if there are no plans to patch it or add any sort of presentation, so I can know if I should redownload NHL 22 and just put 23 in the trash.
Community ManagerWe don't have any updates at this time. I assure you that should we have news, the first thing I'll do is update everyone here.
Thank you! Just hoping to know if the full broadcast option will be coming in the future, even if the same as last game. It was a great part of 22 and was assuming it would be included again, while being supplemented by the stanley cup feature and anthem/ice additions. If being patched in at a later date, happy to continue and see it then. If it's done for and won't be added, I'll likely just go back to 22.
Appreciate the help!
@EA_Aljo Can you please give us an update on the franchise glitch with the prospect generator - it defaults all skating style sliders to zero. Within a couple years, the game becomes unplayable due to their skating.
Also if we can get an update on the offer sheet Draft compensation glitch. Thank you in advance.
Community ManagerI'm very sorry, but I won't ever be able to give an update until we see patch notes. We don't normally announce in advance when bugs are fixed.
Well, I'm not buying this game or any future NHL game if there's only condensed gameplay.. Like what's the point?? ..wth
@Foxhole17LAst time NHL was having something looking like condensed gameplay was like nhl 98.
This is not a little stepback or a little feature, it is a 20 year back setback.
And they don't seem to realise that all other immersive feature they have is linked to that feature and without it, intro, stanley cup celebration, hat trick hat, etc are useless.
All those feature bring immersion, and they are LINKED together and work together as a group that.
For presentation, sum is way greater than the parts and some parts alone as little value.
As we speak right now, nhl 23 presenation value is near 1/10, maybe 2/10. With full broadcast, probably a 7.5 or 8/10.
It is not the presentation we should find on a 80$ game.
