BAP Form Score

I genuinely pray to god this isn’t a thing in the next game or it’s fixed because this is horrible, I keep retrying the mode hoping somethings different and it just never is… In order to progress you need to have 100+ point seasons to actually get your challenges done, which is completely unrealistic as a 18 year old rookie in the NHL. I don’t want to be the greatest player to ever live every time I play a career mode, it’s so boring and repetitive but that’s the only way to move lines or get playing time…. I need to maintain a 65 form score, my first game I had a primary assist, was plus 1, we won the game 3-0, won a fight, and had hit my target score for the coach feedback in every category….. and it gave me a 59…. That is honestly laughable, it’s unbelievable to me that whoever designed that system believes that is how hockey works, it goes to show how little effort is applied to this game even AFTER “revamping” the entire mode this year. Honestly very sad, because I love playing be a pro and is honestly the only real reason I buy these games anymore (due to them being copy and paste/buggy crap games year after year) this is the first time since NHL 14 where I’ve committed to not buying the next one and that’s purely out of spite for this company. Total money grab with 0 effort or budget applied to it.

  • Sadly, it seems like when they created/designed form score, they decided that actual hockey plays and skill are not viable for how a player should be judged. This is like how they are for their online modes (focus more on scoring then actual hockey plays). 

    This was one thing they heavy promoted before the launch of the game but instead of offering a true hockey experience (which is what said) they force you to play how they want you to play and actually make some playstyles (which they offer to let you play) completely useless and a deterrent. 

    Its just another mode/feature they half did and will now leave as is for years to come, cause my guess is that they don't know how to fix it.

    you are exactly right. I don't know which position you play but I play defense and every, and I mean EVERY challenge wants me to score points. why would a defensemen need to score 6, yes SIX, points in 8 games to pass a challenge. that should be 6 (or more) hits or 6 blocked shots, or something for a defenseman. and then the form score, it is in fact so bad that I want to throw my controller into the tv. here is a game I just played. as you can see I was +2, had 9 shots on goal, 7 hits, and they did NOT score when my player was on the ice but I only got a 92 for that game!? that is an excellent game for a defenseman but the reason I lost 8 point is because I didn't score a point. yea some will say it's only 8 points but THAT'S NOT THE POINT. that game should have been 100.

    you do not have to score a point in a game to get 100 in form score and the target you have to get is so ridiculous it's almost laughable. why would a rookie, who is in the top 5 in points, assists (1rst by the way), and goals (because I have to be to stay in the NHL) have to get a 75 to 80 form score. I believe the highest it should go is 50 to 60. I read in another post a while back that they take into account goals, assists, points, hits, being hit, and a little on coaches score and maybe more but I can't remember. and as far as hits goes, so if I have 7 hits (like this game) and I GET hit 5 times, that means I only get credit for 2 hits? that's freaking stupid. YOUR GOING TO GET HIT IN THIS GAME. and even the coaches score is geared to scoring points. why would an enforcer have to get a target of 65% in offense but only 55 in defense. for crying out loud, I AM A DEFENSEMAN NOT FORWARD.

  • Also the ability that they have to go “we listened to the community” and then not listen to anything the community actually said  and instead put out new packs for HUT is unparalleled. Imagine being confused why your game doesn’t perform well, so you put out more things people have to buy, so you’ll make more money, instead of just making the game playable and have a success of a game that generates way more income…. But idk that’s just me. EA hates the phrase “spend money to make money”
