@Redw91 Yes we can’t let them sweep this under the rug but we will have to try to adhere to the rules so they don’t keep locking threads
The removal of full presentation while marketing presentation as a core feature is disgustingly slimy and shady.
We should be able to start up a game, and be able to see what goalie we’re facing that game, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg

It's hard to keep it "constructive" when we have already given them a ton of constructive feedback regarding this presentation issue and they don't provide any communication in return. How are we to know if what we're saying is going anywhere or if it's all a facade and ultimately they don't care? If they want us to keep it completely constructive then maybe they should actually TRY COMMUNICATING so we have at least an idea of what is going on or what is being worked on. When Aljo and others say "keep it constructive" but then we don't hear anything about what is being fixed and/or subsequent game releases have the same issues, then of course we are going to be more likely to start venting and being less "constructive". So come on EA, get it together, and start letting us know if you're at least trying to fix the presentation that you somehow broke.
Constructive criticism have 2 party involve
1 someone give a constructive criticism
2 someobe receive it.
When the 2 party involve act like a responsible person, a constructive criticism is supose to strengthen a bond.
But even with god constructive criticism, if the receiving party don't act and respond to it, it is going to degrade the situation and the bond.
This is not my personal opinion, this actualy how the process is suppose to happen to work.
Go read any source about constructive criticism, Asking people to give positive criticism without answering it the proper way become automatically a negative process.
The way ea is not answering criticism cannot be a positive process.
The last step of such process is always call follow up. After having some time so think about, the person answer the criticism. Right now, ea is trying to do this process without having to do a follow up, so the process still incomplete.
I’d honestly would simply like to hear 2 things,
1 why was it removed? When all the assets was there and it was already made. Basically wouldn’t of meant extra work on EA side of things
2 Since it has been the biggest requested thing why won’t they return it?
- @Strictly60s Yeah - it is incapable of being constructive feedback if they don't use it constructively. As far as of yet, it has not been used constructively beyond a mere token gesture of increasing the frequency of the subpar intros.
EA chooses not to engage. They have people assigned to communicate with us, but they don't ever give them any useful information. They are not dialoguing with their customers and it is going to prove to be catastrophic next year. I wouldn't be surprised if they see a giant fall off in sales for 24, despite fixing some of this stuff in the new title - because we feel cheated - then they hold off on NHL 25 and do that year off thing like 2K did with the WWE series. However, they won't recover for many years to come. Why? Because their customers are upset and frustrated with EA's response. EA messed up royally and is doubling down on it. The fact they locked the thread is a PR disaster in itself. It's been too long without the issues being fixed or being worked on. Quite frankly, that thread was extremely constructive on our end, even if it was complaining and would seem otherwise nonconstructive, because it was a clear gauge of just how problematic that change was. They may not like hearing it, but they will be wishing they had paid attention to it a year from now. They are doing permanent damage at this point.- EA_Aljo

There were multiple warnings given before the previous thread was locked. Being constructive means having a civil discussion about the game. That's not what was happening. We will be very quick to lock this one if that continues.
We absolutely understand how frustrated many of you are with the changes to presentation and hate to see that happen. I can't state that enough. However, another lengthy thread isn't going to have a different outcome. We all want the previous presentation to return. Should that happen, or if I have any other details on this, they will be relayed here.I will participate in this thread for now, but there isn't any new information that I can share. Should this thread turn out like the other, we'll go back to keeping out of the conversation as our presence normally just makes things worse.
