You don't like the game?
Unfortunately this game changes on the recommendation of youtubers and expert players only. Average and/or casual players are practically not taken into account even if they reprensent 90% of the pla...

@EA_Aljo If that’s true, then where did you guys get the feedback that people wanted all television style presentation elements removed from the game? It’s a serious question and not trying to be smart at all. Who was asking for that?
@Caliboy6262_714 Remember they only give input/feedback. At the end of the day those creating the game have all the say of what is and isn't.
@KlariskraysNHL Okay, fair enough. Then if the Dev’s really are responsible for such a baffling decision might as well come out and say why they made the choice. Everyone would have a lot more respect for them if they did and it would be a dead issue. Instead we get the same stock answer every year. “We are aware of how the community feels about this, and hope to have more information at a later date.
just flat out come out and say “HUT players want to play as many 3 minute games as possible and do t want to have to be inconvenience into pressing one button to skip a cutscene. That is who we are focused on right now”
@Caliboy6262_714Sadly you won't hear their reasoning for it. It was believed it caused desync problems last year. Maybe they haven't found a fix for it and/or maybe they going a different way with presentation that will take a bit longer to implement. Trust me they know people want presentation back, but only time will tell if NHL 25 brings back presentation and how it's brought back.
Speaking for myself personally I'm a 6s player and the less presentation type stuff besides stat tracking the better for my experience. I'm 100% about gameplay. I'm sure there are people like me who play 6s only and want all the presentation too. I understand you all want it back, but the only answer sadly is wait and see what happens in NHL 25 which I know is a sad answer to give.- @KlariskraysNHL The presentation returned to 90% in NHL 24. If there were goalies at the beginning of the presentation, the presentation would be practically back for me. I repeat goal chances, hits, goals. It would just like to occasionally show a view of the player when interrupted....in addition to introducing goalkeepers and looking more closely at offside players. Shouldn't say that the full presentation didn't come back. She's back, only a few things are missing from her. ✌

I know blaming everything on HUT is what everyone likes to do, but if we only cared about that mode, the game would be called NHL HUT 24. Feedback from players in all modes is going to be considered along with our own vision of what we feel is good for the game. The biggest challenge is time. We simply can't act on all the feedback received in a year the following year. Which is also why we've said there are plans to expand offline modes over the next 3 years. Presentation will also get updates.
Every year people complain the game is a copy and paste from the previous one. We've made some big presentation changes as part of that feedback. Now we're being told presentation from previous games is being preferred. I definitely understand not everyone is liking these changes. We want the game to feel fresh and new. This means it may have aspects that you don't see on TV. If we replicated only what you see in a typical broadcast package, we'd probably continue to get complaints that nothing changes. There are always going to be years where something new is introduced and it may or may not hit the mark. We can't find out without trying though.
