Community ManagerYou can still play. Yes, there are no seasons, but that doesn't prevent you from playing games. With the majority of the playerbase moving to the current game each year, we need to shift our focus there as it doesn't make a lot of sense to support the live service for the previous year's game. This happen with all of our sports titles.
There also is a lot more involved than a basic spreadsheet when it comes to auditing the results. It's understandable there's frustration with waiting. Hopefully, we can speed this up in the future.
You do realize that a large number of people only play the game to play CHEL right? And the only point of playing CHEL is to rank your player up and get your teams wins in season and playoffs. So you pretty much have made the game POINTLESS to play. Do you not see where a paying customer is coming from?

Not everyone thinks it's pointless to play. There are those that still like to play regardless of having an active season. As mentioned though, our sports titles don't support live services for the previous year's game as they shift focus to the current one. This is done so we can support the very high majority of the playbase that moves to the new game.
As far as the audit goes, again, there is a lot more than just math happening when verifying results.
"Our sports titles don't support live services for the previous year's game as they shift their focus to the current one"
I AM CURRENTLY PLAYING THE MOST RECENT VERSION OF YOUR GAME BUT YOU HAVE STOP SUPPORTING IT. PLEASE MAKE THIS MAKE SENSE!!!
And secondly, the reason you have such a large number of poeple switch to the newer title is because of what you just said. You have FORCED us to switch ganes as you are not supporting live serices anymore. This is a joke right? You do see that you just contracdicted yourself. You said you only support the CURRENT game which is the one I am currently playing!

The current version of the game is being replaced by the next in a couple of weeks. There isn't time to run a season while we get ready for the next game. Nobody is forced to switch games. There are those that play just to play. Of course there are others, such as yourself, that require leaderboards. It's absolutely unfortunate we're letting you down and we hate to see that happen. The feedback is most definitely appreciated.
You already force us to pay a hundred bucks yearly for an update, so why not at least give us the full 12 months of playing? Why not start the new season as you do the calculations for the old season? No need to stop us from playing hockey with rank just so you can do some basic math.
And keep your title running for 12 months. We pay with our hard earned money for this game so I would expect to get a full playing experience for a year.
