You have to keep in mind that there isn't one audience for this game. For 24, we prioritized the online experience as that is where we got the most feedback. This also makes up the high majority of the playerbase. If it were the opposite and the offline players were the majority, chances are good that's where the focus would have been. We really can't act on all the feedback from each part of the community year to year. Some areas are going to get more attention than others. As has been said numerous times, there is a plan for offline modes. You all are being listened to. Acting on that is coming in the future.

Well your answer do not explain why you take full presentation away this is what we are do damn disappointed of.If it was still in the game both parts offline and online would have been happy.Now we have very short intros before the game we do not even know which the other teams goalie is for an example.Before we could se which goalie who started with some stats and if you score replays are if any very fast and you manually do not have the time to even change your lines and the happiness feeling you have scored is GONE because now you have to stress to next faceoff .It is all very fast and speeded up almost like you get the feeling of a unfinished product or beta game and no time to se the little things presentation wise which have a big impact the overall feeling of the game.The team can do so much changes to the gameplay but with poorly made presentation those things do not have the effect they would have if the game had the right presentation.You always start with the gameplay changes i understand that but remember that we that all loves hockey and play the game would also feel like it is a real game we are playing/watching and EA was in the right direction with the NBC theme but now it is very different.If NHL could come close to what EA Madden have presentation wise it could be the most beautiful sport game so it is very sad we hockey fans do not get this.

The past three year plan for franchise mode which I play only was .....
2022 - roster share ( doesn't count for me personaly cause I am one of the bigger roster creator every year and EA didn't make it easier about player creation for us. For example. After every merging process with our cap's we loose the whole changes of the EA roster from before and need to recreate equipment, ratings again cause it went back to standard. Of course advantage for people which have no time, or no fun to create own rosters. They can get a good roster free for download. )
2023 - nothing
2024 - ?
Next three years as they promised now ? Don't believe myself in the future plan for offline modes.

not to mention how they butchered BAP. absolutely massacred that game mode.

all they’ve done is take away features, and give us literally nothing this year besides the broken, unbalanced, poorly thought out and poorly implemented game play changes
