So EA...is there any reason to think '24 will look/play any different than '23?

Seriously...can we nip this in the bud?  Is '24 going to have any changes that will differentiate itself from '23?  I'm not talking about a couple of new automated animations that require no input to...

@rsandersr47 I think it's also unfair to compare NHL and NBA in terms of popularity. NBA games probably sell like 4mil+ copies while NHL at it's best was only selling like 1.5million copies. So I would assume the size of budget and teams greatly differ. Investors aren't gonna throw money to lose on improving a game that they probably deem doesn't have much of a player pool to entice. I mean the reason the game probably has some arcade feel is to get the average person interested in it.

But honestly if you are a diehard fan and buy the same sports game year after year it just all feels the same. And I feel as we grow older we notice these things even more and feel let down.

Like every year, all we can do is hope.

When you compare the series in 3-5 year gaps they actually do make large strides but as Follisimo said, when you play the game every year it becomes a wash. They basically took the year off with '23 so I expect more from '24.

I made a new Truculence build the other day and there are definitely things that need to get addressed for next year. One extremely blatant no-call interference that lead to a goal and completely bouncing off a guy during a nice charging attempt (i'll make a new thread), for example.
