I like the idea of the pressure thing in NHL 24 but I am all for the feeling of realism in hockey games and that icon would drive me crazy if i have to play with it all the time.
So do you think you can turn that off?

And from the moment she was introduced into the game people hated it and wanted an option to turn it off. Three years later not only is she STILL in the game, but still not option to to her off? Lol just why?
No offense towards her but, oh man, please, just create a turn-off button. 😃

The least she could do is to pay me some rent for living in my head for such a long time...
LMAO ! Pay you some rent 😂 That’s funny Sega 😉

Man this bugs me so much and it bugs me that it bugs me so much.
There are options for every piece of audio in this game, EXCEPT HER.
Remember when there was a 'DJ' who would constantly bump music and say stuff a few years ago during drop-ins? He had an option to be turned off too.
But for some strange reason (that likely involves a deal made with her agent) - Carlan Bathe simply cannot be turned off. It drives me up the wall that we're forced to hear her yelling every single time we load into this mode.
I get it - EA is trying to get this dumb Forza Horizon festival type atmosphere - but it's forced, oddly placed and just doesn't make any sense at all.

Might have a PR deal with EA... 🙄
(as you imply)
I’m pretty sure she is involved in most of the events related to the game, so her contract must involve more than just providing her voice to the game. That might be part of the reason she has different rules.
The main issue with her dialogue for me is her explaining zone/ superstar abilities....the same ability described to you every game. Is this still a thing? (Still on NHL22)
It takes away any immersion these games have and that's not much to begin with, she's basically saying -
"He used his mystic badge that granted him the ability to pass that puck better, WOW." It's just the dumbest thing to add to any sports game. Pretty sure advertising the X-factors as much as possible was the main focus over immersion.
Also the pressure meter should without a doubt be togglable, that's just horrible game design if there's going to be no option to turn it off
