Re: Inference in NHL 24

As you said, some people don't want to play any more. However, there is still a healthy amount of players so obviously there are those that still enjoy the game. That said though, not everyone has the same idea of what a good hockey game is. We have a very diverse playerbase that have different ideas of what makes this game fun. We also have been accused for many years of not making enough changes. The community repeats the same thing every year. It's just a roster update with a new cover. Then we make changes and people just ask for what we had before. If it were truly a copy and paste with a new roster, I guess I don't see why there would be so much disagreement with that. Regardless, people want meaningful change while retaining the authenticity of hockey. That's what I'd love to see as well. Again though, that's not what everyone wants and we have to do our best to try to accommodate the playerbase as a whole. Not just the sim players. Which, I'm still convinced don't truly want a sim game due to the very high amount of pushback we get when something is made harder.

We made some big changes this year and a lot was learned from it. We'll take that feedback and apply it to future games. We have to keep trying to improve this game year after year. That's not always going to be well received. We can't find out if we don't try though.
