We have to keep this constructive or this one will be too.
My only wish for Christmas would be to get an update where EA undid the removal of the presentation we had in NHL 22.
And I think a lot of the frustration has to do with the nature of buying in this series.
For example, with The Sims 4, it had all sorts of problems when it first came out. I went back to Sims 3 not long after and only found my way in after most of those problems had been fixed. It was going to be missing a lot of content that was already there in Sims 3, it might not compare at first, but it eventually got there. However, NHL 23 is $100 down the drain. This game will probably never be fixed - you have to buy a whole new game instead. That game may be missing all the things we were expecting in this game too even if we did buy it. It may have even more missing from it. We don't know. What we do know is that the team went off to work on that new game without ever making this game playable. It is not what was advertised and it is missing things that we assumed we could take for granted because it should be cut and paste. If EA was going back in and fixing this game so that it did work right we could think of forgiving them for a bad launch. Many games have bad launches. But when they just put the mess behind them and leave us with the bill it is something completely different. The trust is severed.

@EA_Aljo Or, EA could bring back full presentation so we have enough time to change lines without hitting the start button and calling a time out.
Just an idea.
Btw, have you notified the dev team about the retired jerseys can't be disabled in custom franchise? Currently Gretzky can't wear #99 in custom franchise despite EA advertised the mode with a picture of Gretzky and the possibility to play with 80's throwback rosters.
That, and full presentation is all I need to buy the game.
Yes.
Has EA ever checked their twitter responses when they tweet something about NHL??? Last night EA tweeted that they must up Tage Thompson's overall to 99 immedietely because he scored 5 goals last night (being scarcastic of course) and there was just bucketloads of negative replies just about creating a good game, fixing the game, ect and on and on and on. It's come to the point where nobody is giving civil responses anymore that is related to the topic and it's just another opportunity for gamers to take jabs at EA. The negativity is not going to go away. It's everywhere..Here, Twitter, Youtude, Reddit, Operation Sports. Not sure why moderators are trying so hard to "clean up" this forum where it appears it's just the minority in negativity towards the game. The game is obviously bad, the ONLY reason it's staying afloat is because it offers online play which is the thing these days. You could have NHL 94 though and have online and it would be just as good as NHL 23.
