I've mentioned this before but around when the dev team went silent on the forums they seem to have made the decision not to focus on changing things up after release.
As for the game "dying" etc. You clearly aren't around very many hut players. They drop enough money to still make this game very profitable even if it used stick figure wire models and hand drawn cover art so there isn't much external pressure to have a "better game".
So long as people keep the game very profitable each year with sales and hut purchases you're telling EA that you must be satisfied and thus no need to change the statis quo.
I agree with you. I used to be one of those HUT whales. I will no longer give EA my money on a yearly basis to gaslight me. Until major changes are made, I'm sticking strictly to offline modes on the years I already own, which is every year it's ever been made, all the way back to the genesis NHLPA days. I play games for entertainment and to escape. This series has become so stagnant, and broken, that I just can no longer justify paying AAA price for a game who's studio uses the excuse "but we have a small team and budget" to attempt to justify their absolute horrible management of this, and from what I read, other sports series as well.
EA, what you've done, doing is swapping real sports fans wants and needs out of a video game, to facilitate and profit off of people who may have addictive personalities. Long time fans of your game, and most fans who truly love and understand hockey have basically been told to kick rocks so that you guys can make a bigger profit. It's sad to watch.
"Why is nobody complaining about the hitting bubble?" should be "Why is nobody complaining about the hitting bubble ANYMORE?"
Because many people who did complain about this issue are not playing this game anymore and those who are still stick with it have realized that their complains have been in vain. Same with so many other bugs like the face-off interference. Your voice will not be heard.

yes haha..existed since nhl 13...most ppl gave up
The fact we cant even get a slight build rebalance and perk adjustments patch is just a complete disgrace. Been playing CHEL for over a decade now and have always remained on the optimistic side. No way anyone should be silent about the stagnation of this game especially in the age of live service content. The devs are not to blame here. EA is an absolute disgrace of a company. They need to DO THIER JOB and give this studio some resources to flesh this thing out. There MUST be a January bug/balance patch
Find 10 contradictions:
1) We are a small indie team
2) We will release the game every year
3) The game is worth as an AAA project
4) For the sake of next year's game, we do not support the broken game of the current year
5) game pass can not be released, it is necessary to release a new game at full price
