Be A Pro

of course it hasn't. EA only cares about their money makers (HUT and Chel). guess they don't give a rip about the minority. I'm probably going to just turn off the commentators this year. at least they have that but wish they would give an option to opt out of the stupid challenges. at least till they decide to upgrade BaP. which I'll probably be dead before that.

Here is another video of the stupid AI. why in the world would he go all the way to my goalie. he almost scored

I there a reason he didn't get the puck?

this is just 1 in a thousand times this has happened. why didn't he continue to the boards? If I would have tried to pass it to where he was, it would have either been taken by the guy guarding me or intercepted by the guy guarding my teammate.

these are just a few. I didn't get a video on this one but the opposing team shot one on my goalie, the goalie stopped it, I was heading towards my goalie from the bottom of the circle (cause I was in front of the shooter), the GOALIE PUTS IT INTO THE NET and they score and I get a 'not guarding the net' gig? come the freak on. y'all need to get rid of the negative (or minus) performance. If you suck in a game, then nothing goes up but for pete sake, if a real NHL player has a bad game, he doesn't lose his ability he just doesn't improve but if he does good then he does gain experience. there has to be another way of dictating weather or not you go up or down on a line. I wish y'all had a 30 day money back guarantee. 

As in the EA website their revamping a lot of stuff, you'll have to wait to see a deep dive if they do it.

I wish they would just put it into the blog, all the changes coming to the new game and any relevant deep dives that are required for the more aggressive changes from past years. Even if they change one thing, like give us injury stats and timelines for return.  I would be happy.  Oh and less stupid conversations in game.   

It has not been updated unfortunately 

so yall wanted videos> here they are. and this is NHL 25 by the way

so as you can see #19 just skates away and says go ahead and shoot. he should have either got in front and tried to block it, poke check, tried and stood him up, something but no nothing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKbUtP7vG9M

in this one, he was in front and never tried to poke check or stand him up just moved a little so he can shoot

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxV68x5EVLI

this one is 2 fold. first: I tried to 'dump the puck' in but wanted to use a "shot". I wasn't even going toward the goalie, I had the left stick all the way towards the boards but it shot it towards the goalie. second: again just moved so he can shoot.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y04hs2H6r5s

now this one says I had a missed assignment. bull crap. I was right there in front of the guy but sometimes it just goes in. stop with the stupid missed assignment crap. I'd understand if I was all the way in the neutral zone or something but come on.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmUSqX5_fAE

ok this one pisses me off. I had the left stick all the way away from the puck carrier but it automatically goes towards the puck. please stop that. that happens every time. a lot of times I don't want to poke at the puck. this auto poke check need to go unless there's a way to turn it off now that I don't know about. 

so there's your videos. and NOTHING HAS CHANGED in this game as far as AI stupidity.

I think it is slightly better at defending passes, but as you say there is still too many instances of guys skating in the wrong direction.  Defenders shouldn't be skating into the offensive zone to pick up their man when the other team has the puck at center ice and it is going in the opposite direction. Sometimes the defenders let people skate right between them in the slot and do nothing to stop it.

You are correct. BAP is about 95.4% the same. If you play goalie there are some new goalie masks are new, I haven’t gotten much further than that, but the unlocks are the same, the salary perks are the same and Im going out on a limb saying that the conversations are the same. The pre game presentation is the same, 10 seconds from splash screen to puck drop and control settings do not save. So is it the same? Yes, and its frustrating because its been the same game for years..  What’s different?

Say goodbye to Phoenix and hello to Utah. Also the game play has probably been improved. Are those enough for you? Only you can answer

This game **bleep** sucks. and yes, I'm posting in BaP because that is all I play. nothing and I mean nothing has changed. I am so **bleep** tired of the AI in this game I just want to throw my controller. Is there a reason that out of 100 goals the opposing team scores that 95, yes that's 95, is scored while MY PLAYER is on the ice? yea, the **bleep** AI teammates SUCK. is there a reason why, as an enforcer defenseman, I have to score goals just to complete a challenge? I honestly do not care if I lose every **bleep** game as long as my player does well and doesn't get 5 goals scored on him while he's on the ice. SCORE ON THE **bleep** SIMULATION FOR PETE'S SAKE. I have played on semi-pro, SEMI-PRO, since it came out and yes I'm 11-1-0 (and yes the loss was because they actually scored during the simulation) but have no clue why I only score 5-10 goals OUT OF 60-85 SHOTS. no goalie can stop that many shots. yea I have it on 20 min periods but still I should be able to score 20 or more goals out of that many shots. stop amping the other goalie up to **bleep** superstar. I want a **bleep** refund.

it's not the point of scoring more goals I do want a challenge but geez, let them score more when I simulate it. if they scored 1-3 goals on me but scored 3-6 while simulating, I'd take that. the point is that the AI just sucks. they are 2 feet away from the puck and LEAVE IT and go to "their position". come on. I'm a defensemen and my AI defenseman will skate backwards and 90% of the time move and let them shoot or keep skating backwards and let them get a breakaway. and again I should not have over 60 shots a game and only score 5 goals. no NHL goalie can stop that many. it's like the other goalie goes into super, super, superstar mode. If I actually play 'my position' and let the AI teammates do whatever the other team would score 10 goals on 20 shots but I can't score 1 on 20? give me a break and that actually happened. YOU HAVE TO FIX THE TEAMMATE AI to play like real NHL players. I'm watching a live NHL game right now and very rarely did an opposing player stay in front of the net without getting hammered or when they enter the zone, the defense GETS IN FRONT OF THE PUCK OR TRIES TO POKE CHECK. It's frustrating that I have to play a defenseman but still have to score tons of goals to complete challenges or get a high score on my performance. I'm an enforcer and my offense score is like 75 and my defense is only 55????!!! and another thing you don't lose wrist shot power if you do a bad or 'weak' shot, you just don't gain anything. there is a lot you HAVE TO CHANGE. If I can find a slider set that evens the playing field I'd try that. I know you can't win every game but if I didn't go all over the ice, we would lose every freaking game. that is no fun at all. I mean the opposing computer AI already has an advantage, if they want to 'dump' the puck they don't have to HOLD A BUTTON to get it to go far (which by the way need to be improved). heck by the time I hold the button down to get it to go the max distance (which isn't very far), they're on me like flies on you know what. I never was good at dekeing or all those fancy moves so that's why I play defense but everything is geared to you having to score goals. change that to.
