What is EA doing?
It seems the company is purposely self sabotaging their development over the years. It's pretty obvious at this point. The job postings are for lead devs of the game engine and "1 year contracts". ...
Forum Discussion
EA Sports does not care about this franchise to have any form of gainful employment. There is no hiring requirement for even being knowledgeable about hockey at all. You join the club, then you're out the door the game is made.
Care to elaborate with some evidence?
There are a ENDLESS list of problems but the response is "maybe it will be fixed next year."
Why not provide this list of problems?
I am done with EA Sports. You guys had better make sure this doesn't get deleted. This is constructive criticism that is being brought to the attention on deaf ears. This is very disappointing. The community wants change.
Literally every single piece of feedback here is seen by someone at EA. Not every post warrants a response because a lot of 'issues' raised here turn out to be a misunderstanding of controls or a skill issue.
Any time an actual real bug or glitch has been presented here (and yes, there have been plenty), Aljo ALWAYS confirms the clip would be sent to the dev team.
If you post a clip and there are explanations as to why things played out the way they did, you don't get to discard that interaction just because you didn't get the response you wanted.
You're not getting a cent out of me ever again.
I doub that.
they never address any of the game play problems
As mentioned above - any clip posted that shows an actual issue is always followed up with a comment by Aljo that it will be seen by the dev team. I don't know why both of you continue to ignore this.
people have sent in clips of problems and it seems to fall on deaf ears
This is a lie. As mentioned above, legitimate clips that show real problems with the game logic are always dissected and seen by the people who need to see them.
Just because you may post a clip that results in you getting an explanation that maybe you could've done something better, or that the game logic is designed that way, etc etc - this doesn't mean it's "falling on deaf ears". Sometimes it means there is nothing but a skill issue. And I am not saying every clip posted is a skill issue ('cuz lord knows ya'll will attack me and say I'm attacking YOU) but there are many clips posted where it's like, 'ya.. this happens because X' or 'you could've done X better here'.
I guess will call this a skill issue because I let him shoot the puck causing him to slam into my goalie

And here's another one

And I guess here I have to play better defense

And once again my bad defense

https://youtu.be/9KqbyifSfoc?feature=sharedThis clip perfectly illustrates the flawed goalie interference logic. The issue appears to stem from the sequence of events: an initial save followed by the goalie's desperation swing save attempt. When the player contacts the goalie between these two save attempts, the interference detection seems to break down.
Although the puck ultimately bounces off the player's body while in the crease after the desperation save, the system doesn't register this as interference - likely because the player-goalie contact occurred before this final puck interaction rather than after the goalie's desperation save attempt.
The timing sequence creates a blind spot in the interference detection algorithm where legitimate interference goes uncalled because it doesn't follow the expected pattern of events.
And here's another one
https://youtu.be/QruhIWB4ckM?feature=sharedThis is a known issue and you've been told countless times that this is something the team is wanting to address.
And I guess here I have to play better defense
https://youtu.be/r3rD4Htm3xo?feature=sharedSame with this
And once again my bad defense
https://youtu.be/9uv8qy1Pmf0?feature=sharedThis is just a bad bounce and is not a goal that happens often. Could the puck physics be a little better? For sure. Does this kind of bounce never happen in the NHL? No.
