too many game modes

im not sure how all other people feel but i think there are too many game modes and it hurts the the game play over all especially the main ones people play cause they try and make everyone happy! take a poll i want the fans play the most and just go with the most popular few modes and concentrate on just those! i just play Hut and i know allot of people dont like the mode cause they say its all about the money but i never spend any extra on packs, only what i gain in the mode for coins i find it fun to build a good team from what i earn in game of course i dont play online much so maybe that is why but all im saying if there is less modes they have to work on the modes everyone likes would get much better each year i would think!

  • I hope we can start condensing modes in the future, thoufh I'm not entirely sure how it could be done

    I only play offline, so please never remove offline modes.

    Get rid of redundant modes.

    All you need for 1v1 is hut and vs.

    All you need for 3's (never should have been made anyway) is dropin and club

    All you need for 6's is dropin and club.

    Bye bye everything else.

    Personally I'd get rid of 3's altogether but I know that won't be popular. You could also argue that if EA wants nothing to do with dropins you could cut them too.

    @mxflys I don't think removing some modes would make the game any better tbh. Imo way better to have modes, even if you can't develop them all in the same year, which is the case really.
    I'm someone who plays multiple modes, HUT, Franchise, Be a Pro, also rarely some tournaments. Having owned all NHL games since NHL06 I can see all the modes being usefull:
    - HUT obviously is the cash cow, even though many players don't use a dime, some use A LOT. I like building my hut team too, but it's a competitive mode really, not something you can play to chill properly imo.
    - Franchise and BAP are essential for offline. I can't even imagine a game without either one. And they were what made the NHL franchise really grow and develop in the first place, before hut was even a thing. Many don't want to play online.
    - Seasons and Tournaments are what me and my friends played mostly as Couch play as kids (I'd like to think kids still meet each other face to face, not just play online), so I can definitely see the use for those too. Mode where you can take over your favorite local teams or national team and compete against each other for the whole season or tournament, not just one game.
    - I can see the purpose of threes as well, filling the need for that arcade goofy mode, like NHL Arcade was for PS3.
    - Finally the online modes WOC and Online versus, obviously they are essential competitive online modes as well.
    So with this all covered, I don't really see any modes that would be unnecessary or which could be removed.

    I'll say get rid of the Online Versus mode, and instead replace it with an online season mode. The Online VS mode is a complete waste because it doesn't have dedicated servers. An online season mode (just like in FIFA) will make the 1v1 matchups much more fun and interesting.

  • @Villito I can’t believe what EA has done to international tournaments …😢
    That was always my favorite part of NHL games (other than season mode)
