NCAA 25 vs NHL
Man am I excited for the NCAA 25 game. Everything I read… “we made the game for the community”, “we interviewed players and coaches to get a better understanding”, “we listened to community wishlists...
Oh for sure. Totally understand that NCAA is going to be done well. Or it should be done well at least. And yes, it’ll sell way more than madden. And I do get the fact that online is a huge chunk of NHLs money making scheme. I get it. But, to neglect be a pro almost entirely (with the exception of slight improvements a few years ago) is insane. There is a whole group of people out there who want to play the game the way I do. Offline. Online is cool I guess, but I grew up playing hockey, went on to play through college and after. Had a long career. Now I have kids. I just want to chill on the couch with a beer and do the things in my mind the red wings cannot do physically haha. It’s frustrating to have lived the life to a degree and have that game mode be soooooo boring and worthless. Just want to see the offline game mode get some love
I play Franchise Mode mainly, and occasionally BE A Pro, but BAP is so stale and dry that I move back to Franchise. Both of these modes need major overhauls to make them fresh and more interesting. Give them proper storylines that change with each playthrough. I have written wishlists on these before so won't get into those here. Its one reason why I have suggested focus groups for the offline part of the game, so that they can hear suggestions from people and get them involved in the changes that are desperately needed.
