This is not acceptable considering that EA made the NHL 25 game only for the newer consoles while still making the latest version of their other games playable on the older consoles. Why are you penalizing the NHL player base for not wanting/being able to to pay for an unnecessary console upgrade in the midst of a terrible economy!!!

  The move to the new consoles was not done as a way to penalize players on the old consoles. I absolutely understand the frustration though and will relay your feedback to the team.

    @EA_Aljo No not to penalise them. But rather force them into purchasing a newer console if they want to play the game. Cheap low ball concept. Madden, Fifa, the Show, all are on PS4. But not this franchise. Why they suck.

Ea has lost a supporter for life. I mean c'mon how hard is to to keep access for Squad Battles and Rivals. Your rendering a 2024 game useless in the year 2024. Can't make the greed any more obvious.

  NHL 24 isn't useless for everyone. I understand not having Rivals means you're not interested in the game, but not everyone only plays online modes. Regardless, I understand the frustration over this and am relaying that feedback to the team.

    Hut would be rendered useless. Why even play it if you can't have a reason like Squad Battles or even play online with Rivals. Makes no sense. Surely it can't be that difficult to keep these modes running for the last Gen players. I'll happily go into franchise mode and never buy this title again. Play seasons with updated community rosters. This is like getting stabbed in the back. Spend all year building a team and collecting cards to have it all end up being useless unless you want to play exhibition games.

This is not the correct answer. Yes Squad Battles have ended. Rewards have not been given out for the last week squad Battles was running. Why is EA beating around the bush on this? Either your giving out the earned rewards or not.

  The team won't be back until tomorrow to review this. When I have some news, I'll provide an update.
