PLEASE read this EA staff

I have enjoyed the EA NHL series for over 30 years, but this will be the first year I WILL NOT BUY YOUR GAME. 

 

It started last year when your staff did not include the "hybrid" controls option and It took almost a month for an update to include this feature. When you are used to playing one way for so long, you can not change mussle memory. 

 

NHL 24 was the first time that I had to turn the play by play commentary off. The female color person that you had doing the games was just awful. I completely understand that you want to be all inclusive with your game (will reach a broader audience), but you didn't need her as your color person.  Having said that, I really love to use the six female xFactors on my ultimate team 🙂

 

Now lets talk about the game play. EA has always tried to make the game more realistic, but I had a real big problem with a few things from last year:

 

⚽  The glass cracking from a shot or hitting a player into them only slows the game down.

🏈  Players being checked and ending up in the bench area (rarely happens in a game)

             (both of these things were tried in the past years and there's a reason why they were removed from the game.)

🏀  The needless close up celebrations after the goals (just a "look at me" feature)

 

(4)  The biggest complaint that I have was the introduction of the Michigan or lacrosse goal from behing the back of the net.

       The is just a glitch goal and has no business being in the game. How many times during the year do players try this move?

        This is not a realistic part of any NHL hockey game. 

 

I'm sure you don't care about one customer, not purchasing your game, but I will find other things to occupy my time.

Maybe I'm a little to old school, but I really thing the EA has "jumped the shark" on the NHL series.
