Another note regarding offline/online players. EA nhl 24 has set up the Rivals and Hut Champions exclusively for online players. Now you would think that they would at least allow the offline community the opportunity to complete objectives. But sadly...No! They toss in an objective obtained in Rivals, making it impossible for the offline player to complete all objectives including daily, to receive the reward for doing so. Your contention that the game is geared more to the online player, than offline. Fair enough. But when you totally ignore the offline community, by isolating them from ALL rewards (Objectives), you are in essence telling them, they don't matter. After all. NHL is all about money is it not. The more it can generate the better. Probably why all the suggestions and concerns about problems in the game go ignored. Of the 4 major sports games in the market. Madden NHL The Show, and of course European Football. NHl is by far the one at the bottom. Game use to be of solid content at one time. Where the player, and the game came together for an enjoyable experience. But those days are now long gone.
I hate how offline players have to suffer with that nerfed poke check. Clearly a result of online poke spammers.
I've played this ea nhl games many years and have to say this is by faaaar the worst gameplay ever. I dont know what were they thinking making this. Hitting/tackling is so stupid and bad making this game so arcade. Ai is so bad making plays and defending but penalties they can do and ruin a good game..
