NHL 25 Holiday Update Coming Nov 15th

I like that the arcade mode is making a comeback. It was quite enjoyable, especially as a couch play mode in the past. I understand that these releases are planned well ahead of time but at the same time I think EA should have realized that the reception on new modes of play would be received poorly given the existing issues in the game and the lack of response to them.

If the issues were minor then it might not matter as much but WOC is so broken that any announcements outside of addressing those issues will be poorly received by those who love WOC.  I'm not even bothering to play HUT this year because it seems to be a bigger grind than ever and not worth it at all for a F2P player.  So, at this point I'm spending my time in other games. I'll check out arcade, hope it's enough to keep my interest.
