It's hard to blame people for jumping to these conclusions. Matching room size was a feature that worked for years and was unceremoniously removed for NHL 25. All attempts by the community to get an explanation as to why it was removed has been met with complete silence by EA. We still don't even know if its removal was a design decision or due to some bug that needs addressing.
The refusal to give a clear explanation as to why this feature was removed is mystifying to me and does nothing to prevent wild speculation by the user base.
