Constant color flashes

Have we ever been given a reason for the constant flashes of color or random polygons that show up when playing? What is this? Why is it happening? Why is this the ONLY game I see this in and its been in the game for years? I finally got a friend to play and this was his first complaint and he wanted to quit after seeing it because it was hurting his eyes and the game seemed "unfinished." Is this something we can see being fixed in the next 10 years? Do the devs know about this? Have they played this game at all? Do they know what it is, or what's causing it? It just seems like it should be a rather simple fix that shouldn't take so many years..

We often hear how this game can't be as good as a game like Red Dead redemption because of its sales or how long theyve had to work on it without a release every year.. but.. how many copies has this sold since 2012 when this game was remade on a new system? Game sales plus hut packs for the last 11 years aren't enough money to make a quality game yet? And not enough time due to yearly releases? Even if you ONLY worked on this game for 6 months out of each year.. that's still 6 years to FINISH developing a quality game.. one that was already a finished game right, *wink* yet, everything seems worse. Lobbies are no argument worse since i've started playing NHL between getting kicked, wait times, people not making it, people now unable to join after it locks into a match, etc. Menu navigation and responsiveness are no argument worse, longest wait times i've experienced in any PS5 game to date. Glitches and problems in offline modes far worse. Gameplay arguably worse, with some improvements and some steps back. Nobody I know wants to play this anymore.. I'm just at a loss for words.. I know people will jump in to defend this game but it has gotten worse.. even little things that almost don't matter at all to me like uniforms in threes mode in WoC. It's such a tiny change.. but why not let them wear them? They play in their arena.. it often glitches to show them IN their club uniform before going into the threes honey comb lobby.. and then they wear their outdoor clothes.. not something gamebreaking for me at all.. but it's just a small change that was a small step backward for no apparent reason..

    Maybe it's time EA consider retiring the outdoor rinks or at least upgrade to something more winter classic oriented, put us back in indoor arenas. Anything but the same visually broken garbage year after year. Put some of our hard earned money into this game already.

    What they need to do is ditch old gen and start fresh - Like, seriously, we're already approaching the "pro" era of current gen...

    I'd honestly welcome a Penne or even Rigatoni meal over the same bland Spaghetti we've been given for a decade.

    Getting rid of last gen won't do much just look at the PS4 games. Starting from scratch is a longshot unless this team sticks around for multiple terms, as we know they work in 3 year road maps.

    @EA_Aljo Could we possibly get an actual developer that is allowed to speak in here, then? No disrespect to you and the work you do, of course. You do a good job at relaying information.

    They need to hire more devs and actually put the effort into things that matter to the player base. Ditching last gen would be a start but I don't see companies like EA just passing up on that sales figure to actually make one of their games better.

    Port it over, throw in a broken new control layout, remove one entirely, change the one that worked the best and slap $100 price tag on it and call it a year.

    Then it's up to aljo to keep this forum in line for a year until the cycle repeats. We're the idiots for buying their product.
