(especially with 25's current poor reception).

Every NHL series gets a "poor reception" from the sweat community. I've seen a LOT of positives in social media chatter about this game and the negatives seem to hone in on matchmaking (which agreed, is an issue) and other issues that relate more to skill than a core gameplay problem.

I really feel like the team should have focused more on QoL and bug fixes than semi-reintroducing this mode back to the fold (if it is anything like 3on3)

Agreed.

Adding new ways to play while leaving the old ones a bit of a mess is kind of confusing, but alright. 

Releasing this mode has no bearing whatsoever on the current issues with NHL 25. This isn't something we've been working on instead of issues that have come up since launch.

Thanks for the feedback! Appreciate it!

This is not a server load capacity issue. Yes, it was a popular mode among a portion of the playerbase. However, when prioritizing what gets work, normally that is the modes with the highest amount of players. Which are typically online modes. We've also put a lot of focus on gameplay as well as Franchise Mode. We absolutely know many of you want GMC to return. It's possible that could happen in the future.

You all are acting as if we just threw this together in the last few weeks instead of work on ongoing issues. That's not the case at all. This release did not interfere with post launch support.

Cool, but what about what people are ACTUALLY asking for? Match Club Size for WoC match making?

Yeah, 4 patches/updates in, looking to be 5 and STILL no "Match Club Size"...EA is literally not engaging in any of those threads, once again burying their heads in the same.

This release did not interfere with post launch support.

Then can you explain why there's been zero engagement on the "Match Club Size" issue?   This is the thing people have been asking since launch when it was first noticed.

I have said numerous times that we'll make an announcement when we have some news.
