- Juhani_91_912 years agoSeasoned Ace@nhluser About me is sadly, that EA Sports want focus only to online game modes and forget offline players. I understand, that online game modes are popular, but still there are players, who don't care online game modes. And these players EA Sports has forgot, when they are developing the game for players, who playing online game modes. For example on creation zone is lot off things, whom should update or fixed.
@nhluser you have got to be kidding me they are still short that is so frustrating. Maybe it’s because it’s a beta of the game but I know the minute presentation stuff comes out I will petition for the presentation mode to come back no questions asked.

No excuse for what they have done to this game. They have wasted their limited (according to you) resources on levitating player intros, trick shots, power up meters, etc., Instead of making the gameplay better for about a decade. They have actually made the skating far worse since NHL 14, doesn't take a large team to not make things worse.
The skating was less realistic in NHL 14. Moving laterally had your skates staying on the ice. Which is physically impossible. NHL 14 also had more assistance from the game. Pucks weren't so loose. The puck was glued to your stick when taking slapshots. Passes her more on target as well. You're certainly entitled to your opinion that gameplay mechanics are less realistic now, but that really isn't the case. I'm also not saying it's a 1:1 recreation of the real-world sport. This is a video game after all.

I’m always a little confused when I hear the skating was better prior to NHL 19. I haven’t gone back and played those games since they were new, but my memories of the skating in those games are horrible. The skating now is a little too much McDavid mixed with Makar at times, but tight turns and smooth pivots were non existent if I remember correctly.
Anyways, we are out here talking about realism when they made the Michigan and between the legs dekes easier to pull off than a slap shot this year…
Is there going to be a gameplay update for this. I played shootout in the season mode in nhl 23 and made the winning save but no horn played like it would in real life. Can this be fixed for 24 🙏🏻

It seems like true broadcast camera is back and I couldn’t be happier. Can you confirm this? @EA_Aljo
im not very picky and this has always been my favorite game but it’s literally unplayable for me without tv style true broadcast camera.

Whatever they did in NHL14 they should be striving to get back to, because it was a better, funner video game to play. - EA_Aljo2 years agoCommunity Manager

They want a game that is more fun than real. We try to create a balance of fun and realism, but this is subjective as not everyone has the same idea of what makes the game fun.

Oh I agree, you can't please everyone!
NHL14/15 is/was beloved though, so EA knows what makes a good Hockey video game and what people want. They just need to figure out how to get back there game play and feature-wise on these new gen machines with the new engine.
- hiperay2 years agoSeasoned Veteran@de4c0nfr05t Feature wise, sure you can make that argument. Gameplay wise though? Forget that. The game is trash in comparison to now gameplay wise. Go watch an NHL 14 game and you will see how painful it is. Its night and day of a difference.
