Didn't buy
Didn't buy this year's game. Likely won't buy next year's game.. Nearly every post on here confirms everything I believed. The devs have done so poorly that the player base is moving on. The sport...

This has to be the most boring game of all time. I have no idea how they make one of the fastest and most exciting sports on earth such a boring repetitive pile of trash. It doesnt matter what game mode you play, every single game plays the exact same. You have to do the exact same stuff a billion times over.
World of Hell : glitch goals and cheese builds with terribly inconsistent game quality in every regard
Be a Pro : mentally challenged teammates that want the entire offense to be carried by a 67 overall with hands like feet and the speed of a 95 year old grandmother
Franchise Mode : when it's not broken and you can entirely change the sliders for the slightest bit of realism its okay, until the AI decides they're not losing the puck so they pass it back 200 feet, they're not getting hit so they turn away from you on a dime, or they're scoring and there's nothing you can do about it and it ruins your game anyways which luckily only happens in the 3rd period of every single close game.
I just want to play hockey but the AI forces me to do the same stuff, over and over and over and over. The flow of this game is non existent. I get the urge to play a hockey game and within 3 games I'm reminded why I don't like this game. It's boring.

That's on you though. If you make the decision to keep trying the same tactics, how's that EA's fault? There's so much freedom in this game to create plays any way you want and some just choose the tried and true because they're not creative enough or they're convinced EA handcuffs them from doing anything different. The reality is most who have this complaint are unwilling to try something new because if they aren't successful with it right away, it 'doesn't work'. So, they stick with trying to force cross creases all day.

Provide some evidence. Show us a 'glitch goal'. What do you mean 'inconsistent game quality'? I'd wager you think a game is 'low quality' because your opponent gets some bounces and controls the play. That's hockey.

Again, that's on you. There are lots of ways to make plays, generate offense, etc. Sticking to tried and true methods that work for you without taking the time to master other methods of generating offense will make you feel stifled. It's up to you to expand your horizons.
