Impressive

EA are the masters of making a bad game even worse. 

It's like they start with a **bleep** sandwich, and then you start getting used to the **bleep** sandwich and they decide "hey lets add maggots.   Those maggots starting to taste normal?  maybe let's add some razor blades to the mix so now not only does it taste bad, but it hurts too!"

Seriously though this game is in a miserable state and every patch seems to make it worse.   it is quite literally unplayable at this point in my be a pro.  The framerate on the character models is lagging or something.  Whatever it is, skating looks and feels incredibly awkward.  You sort of float like you are on hover board skates.   My skater does that silly dodge animation anytime he gets remotely close to another skater.  Players in the slot will let the puck go because i guess he thinks im actaully passing to the D man that hasn't entered the zone yet.

Franchise mode menus lag worse than ever.  

This game needs to be thrown in the trash, because clearly there is no "fixing it".  start over, maybe hire some more people.  I am convinced there are only 2 or 3 unpaid interns that work on the game.

Honestly, if you aren't going to hire more/better people.  Just keep it simple.  less is more when you are understaffed and/or underskilled.  Get rid of the dodging skater animation. 

Anyways.  Bad job.  Don't keep it up.

Thank you
