Hello, everyone. Unfortunately, Rivals and Squad Battles have ended for NHL 23. Because of this, they will not be enabled again.
Attached is the screenshot. Notice the “HUT Rivals” tile - I cannot hover over it or select it. It’s as if the feature has been removed and I cannot play online against other players anymore. This seems to be the same issue the other poster in this thread is experiencing.
Community ManagerThank you. I'll pass this on to the team and report back when I have some news.
Community ManagerI don't have an update. The team is away for the holiday break so try checking back with me next week so I can ask about it.
How many times do you need to be asked? Still enjoying the well deserved time off, while your game is not working for weeks now?
Community ManagerThe team has returned today. When I have an update, I'll post it.
Oh yeah, of course you will.

This is super unfortunate given the game has only been out for a year and a half. From a consumer protection standpoint, stuff like this should not be allowed.
I realize this post wont change the outcome, but I want to emphasize how this is essentially a ‘bait and switch’ EA has pulled for everyone who paid money to own this product.
Community ManagerI can absolutely understand the frustration with that. I'll pass on your feedback. Thank you.
