We Deserve Better Quality Than This! Unacceptable To Us Consumers

Quality for NHL 24 is coming to an end already and way before GWC. I myself find it boring because the offline game modes got no love really and the online modes are full of toxic E-sports kids who e...

@ThoorWoolf I hear you I used to be a competitive player when it came to Rivals/Champs but now very casually do I play those game modes. You simply can't make realistic hockey plays anymore like in real life. In NHL 24 you can literally cause the D-man whether human or AI controlled to slow themselves down due to if they go into a back skate by the blueline they lose energy. Once that happens you basically are on a 2 on 0 with the goalie and just have to go cross crease or shoot from the top of the circle short side and for some reason the goalie reacts to quickly letting it squeek in. Never in my life playing or watching hockey has a goalie done that when a player shoots from that area on a regular basis. Happens once in awhile but for it to be this consistent is ridiculous.

For people who have played hockey as professionals or amateurs, they understand our thinking. Even players who have already played something with controllers in hand. At the moment, this game is at the stage where they could play 1 on 1 on the ice. I loved combinations, involving my head and tactics, this was what motivated and fulfilled me. The question I keep repeating in my head is why EA doesn't reach out to players before the release of a new series to test the game, say flaws, etc... And then they release the game. At the same time, so many of those vintages have already been released that they must know the shortcomings and loopholes that players are abusing.

    @ThoorWoolf I do know they had Nasher, Pavel Barber and Zac Bell do some motion capture which seemed very close to release of the game. Usually is done way before then but Raymond Sawada passed away on April 10th. He was one of the motion capture members for EA for many years.

    Guy knew the game of hockey and I noticed if they use NHL 23's gameplay with NHL 24 this might fix the gameplay tbh. Theory was tested offline using the same tuner and seemed to work well with the system.
