I am so angry that I paid money for this game. It is so unplayable. A BIG part of the problem is the community. Because there is NO consequences for rigging games, trolling, goal traders etc, the actual fair, honest games are only possible when you have a full squad of 6 so no Benedict Arnold’s get in. Therefore all the games are one team against ransoms at best. At worst your goalie or defender or centre are actually playing to lose, a player is allowed to create unlimited profiles on nhl, they create Smurf accounts to boost their buddies and their buddies reciprocate for them.
so I am left to spend all my time recruiting players so I have a full squad, than spent hours looking for a match. Just to have my opponent remember my gamer tag and refuse another beat down and leave me searching again. The other option and the one I’ve been using lately is to turn NHL off and play COD.
The community is garbage people mostly, they haven’t put in the effort and time to acquire the skills to win. They game the system and the devs turn a bling eye.
tge devs spent a lot of effort on useless frills and animations and year after year dumb the game down for the weakest, slowest players.
