Nhl 24 the game for everyone and anyone.
This used to be a game that took skill to be good at. Many of us have spent decades trying to master the skills to get where we are now. It's more than obvious that EA have given up on us loyal fan...

Agreed on this! I did not enjoy EA's golf game this year. It's hard to top the fun in PGA2k21.

Well that's not very nice.
@KidShowtime1867 It's not really about being nice and stating my honest opinion. I've bought the game every year. I've spent thousands of hours with this series. I used to stay up til 6 in the morning with my buds because we wanted to get another game in. Now we play for an hour and can't stand it.
I don't know what else I'm supposed to say about it. I've turned off by the game. I play it out of an addiction.

But the devs are out there trying new things. Pressure System (which I don't like), changes to controls, added some new pre-game intros, new commentary and the addition of female color commentary is awesome. One button dekes are controversial but again - an attempt by the dev team to inject some more fun into the game. I welcomed the hitting changes as it completely revamped that META (holding RS and letting the game guide you magically into a hit) and made risk/reward on defense refreshing and different.
I'd like to see less emphasis on HUT and WoC gimmicks, but I get it. Those aren't meant to appease hardcore gamers. What's weird to me is that hardcore players take those attempts to expose the game to more people as some kind of afront to them and their investment into this series.
Remember; you're not forced to buy the game year after year. As the old saying goes, "vote with your wallet". When people buy this game year after year and then spend time on social media lapping up likes and retweets for dunking on the game while simultaneously still playing it religiously every day - you're just telling EA 'Yep, we like this one. more please'. EA knows the echo chambers don't reflect the overall reception of the game.
- @KidShowtime1867 I don't disagree with you, but I shouldn't have to choose between enjoying my favorite series that I feel has lost it's way and not playing it.
