presentation doesn't Work For Nhl 23

Unfortunately it become very tedious. I ran into issues of replays not showing up in the action tracker on some penalties, so I had to go way back and look where it went wrong. This was a problem in 22 also, and in club it's difficult to see what penalties were legit and weren't.

When you go into the instant replay screen, you should be able to move the camera. That's not working for you?

@EA_AljoOkay but that was not mentioned and actually removes me from the game experience. So basically you are asking us to pay $100 for us to create our own replays and game experience. I'm not sure if that is considered an in-game presentation feature. Is it? 

I think this more pertains to the social media accounts. EA_HAWK has been giving us more updates than the official EA NHL Twitter and Facebook pages recently. Engaging within the community about certain things like the removal of the presentation.

I was disappointed when I created my team to have the option to set my presentation lighting and it doesn't show. The cutscene is also very quick when it does happen on certain teams in Franchise mode. 

There are many other issues at hand we had to hear from word of mouth throughout Twitch/YouTube/Twitter/Discord. This put a ton of us, especially those content creators in frustration. Better social media engagement within the community would help tremendously and leave less amounts of misleading information. I think it would also help with what the community wants content wise in the game.

NHL 23 feels like there is a lackluster of QOL content for offline, given no full juniors/AHL season availability in BAP. Prospects/All-star games missing in Franchise mode. Lack of female hairstyles... 

But in regards to the high requests of presentation working for the bare minimum custom teams in Franchise mode, that is something I think needs to be brought into attention. Stanley Cup playoffs is so bland presentation wise in sense of gameplay, I felt like I was about to fall asleep. 

@@will this process also work in CHEL when the screen get stuck in syncing and skips it.. without having the pause being removed?

look, while I agree constructive criticism is always the best and most civil way to go about things in a conversation I really don’t know what more EA is expecting when their offline consumers give them such detailed and passionate feedback on how to make the offline game better  year after year  only to be outright ignored. Couple that with actually removing features that were already in the game without notifying the people buying it and you’re going to get a group or angry and alienated people who feel like tools. 

I have no vitriol towards you personally nor do I feel you should take the brunt of the blame for any of these decisions or the way EA chooses to conduct themselves however I think it is very easy to understand the level of anger and frustration here when looking at the situation objectively. When everything feels like a fight just to be heard of course people are going to get loud because if they don’t nothing will happen.

A suggestion I have is that from here on out with every release EA give its consumers a full comprehensive list of all the features included  in that year’s edition and any that have been REMOVED because the changes are only as good as the foundation that is already there. I doubt they’d do it as it would perhaps lead to less sales and counteract all the new changes they will heavily market but it by far would be the most honest and sincere way to conduct yourselves. I’d ask you to forward my suggestion to someone who has the means to make it a reality but I’d be lying if I said I had confidence that it will be done.

If those particular posts are breaking any rules, they will get removed. I personally didn't remove a bunch of posts today. However, posts that are breaking the rules tend to not add much to the conversation. The best way to be heard is to be constructive. 

@Yomaster8 

You have full control over the camera in replays to get pretty much any angle you want.

I can't believe that I'm saying this, but this made me so sad that I can't even play the game offline.

I feel like presentation is crucial in sports video games. FIFA, UFC, F1 and every other game has minutes of presentation every game/match. The NHL series deciding to take something so essential and tossing it out hurts when its the only sports game I really enjoy.

100€ well spent, if its not patched soon I'll stick to world of chel and most likely never purchase another NHL game. Feeling like I was scammed with all the promises of a better presentation.

I'm all for constructive criticism and having you ask for that is great but in return can we ask for transparency. Sadly, if you are wanting constructive criticism and less hate but it's okay for EA as a company to not be transparent. It should really go both ways. 

@MasterB89 

I think that's a fair statement. One of the big reasons we don't talk about what's coming is because it's entirely possible that could change. Even if we say we're thinking of making x change, it can come across as something we're promising. If it doesn't happen, we're causing a lot of disappointment. This is why we normally put out patch notes the day before because at that point, the chances of something being removed at the last minute is pretty slim.

The best I can tell you right now is that the presentation issue issue is one we're hearing a ton of feedback on. We'll just have to wait for now to see if anything changes.

Thank you for your answer.

And with all respect, we will continu to comment the issue until we like the result. And of course, nothing about this is personal or aim toward you, but aim toward you boss.

When we are saying ea don t care about us, we are not talking about the people working hard and putting the hour in front of a computer doing their best, but we talk about those who don t give the ressource to game designer who only wish to create the best hockey ever.
