Valid comment on this new version being nothing more than a repetitive motion of going nowhere. At least in the 24 version, you at least had a goal to try to attain. Different levels, that would verify your personal improvement. Elite 3 to 1. Top 100. There is no incentive to this ill thought out concept. And you are right when you say, everyone plays for the same reward. The major problem with this franchise is. They don't keep good qualities of the game intact. Rather, they believe change or variation is the way to go. Take the checking part of the game. Originally, it did need a bit of improvement. But they brought in the shoulder check. Now the checking is nothing but a pinball effect, with players bouncing off each other. The developers of this game, could make this a far better franchise, if they took the time to LISTEN to the community. Its the players of this game that knows whats good and bad. Not some programmer who probably never played the game in his life. As for your hope that EA is taking your thoughts into consideration. The chances are the same as Santa actually existing. Good luck bud going forward in this mundane game.
