@KlariskraysNHL If most of the money gets funneled back to them then how does 2K operate? How are they able to make such a deep game? I get its more popular but the games are REALLY far apart.
People are always gonna complain about games but the truth is NHL doesn't even make a PC version and 2K is far from a copy and paste like any EA game. A new city, a new story, a new way to build your character, their franchise gets a story, much deeper ultimate team mode, every year they give QOL changes that people ask for... in EASHL we got a few new clothes, BAP got the same story, HUT has the same challenges every year, EASHL doesn't even get new arenas/ ODR's. NHL gets around 3 changes per year, usually 1 mode gets an update. Id be curious to know what they're doing differently. The negative people will always be the vocal majority and 2K sells FAR more copies so it makes sense to have more negative people. They also made the game a bit more defensive this year and that made a lot of people upset.
Avg at best is even a stretch imo.. outside of MLB it's the only game that doesn't have an online franchise mode. Franchise is also riddled with bugs, and not as user friendly as I'd like. Compared to ANY other major sports game this has the worst development path for players, look how you upgrade players in Madden, 2k, fifa. BAP is the worst single player mode amongst all major sports games. BAP has almost no story, your captain gives you pointless challenges before games, player development is poorly done. HUT is the worst ultimate team among all sports games. The challenges? Win 5 faveoffs, have 3 hits, score 2 goals. Fun? No. Madden has far more entertaining challenges and you learn about historic teams and players while playing. It's also much more fun to upgrade cards within their system. EASHL drops is filled with lots of bugs and riddled with trolls. Club is done fairly well it is cool to progress the club and get a bigger stadium.. just gotta deal with rangers. I only really enjoy the game because I like hockey.
