Many teams, pick 1 favourite NHL team.
With all of the additions of hockey teams, over the last number of years, you'd think that picking a favourite team (upon starting the game) would consist of being able to choose outside of the 32 NHL teams. Nope. But as long as there's outside additions (we weren't allowed to turn off a certain intrusive voice, over the last couple of years, except for Snoop Dogg), this is what we're paying for: a half-arsed programming nightmare, that's consistent with a sinking ship.
As a long time veteran of this series, at roughly three decades, I will no longer subject myself to competing with stupidity, despite my naive mindset that this'll sort itself out. This is far beyond repair, and the small demographic of individuals that are constantly being catered to are railroading this series.
And for those of you that are the silent majority, this is what you get: a watered down version of what used to be the greatest hockey video game series. The age and generation that once made this game great, and played it accordingly, are long gone.
And no, it's not just because I'm not allowed to pick a favourite team outside of the 32 NHL teams, it's 100% because of a narrow/closed-minded approach as to how this series should be programmed, directed, coded, endorsed, etc., to ensure that this series got back to its ROOTS. No more Chel garbage. No more Ones garbage. No more Threes garbage. No more costumes. "Battle Pass" should never have happened. The control schemes, missing controls, removing controls, changing controls, etc., NOPE. No Store. No Rewards. No Seasons. Just plain fv(king NOOOO. GET BACK TO THE ROOTS.
