Why is nobody complaining about the hitting bubble?

If they do fix or adjust the... roundish area in which physics don't seem to correctly apply... I would be amazed if it was this year. 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.
