Be A Pro is broken and EA doesn't understand this or doesn't care.

What is form score and why does it outweigh goal scoring and winning games? For what reason would a coach demote their leading goal scorer? What does this form score nonsense have anything to do with real hockey? This doesn't even get into the fact that the AI is completely backwards. Your AI teammates are working as soft opposition in this game. Constantly hiding behind checks and only passing at the least opportune moment. The game mode was bad, Ea has gone in and turn bad into utterly unplayable. Are they aware of this? Are they busy patting themselves on the back for actually doing something to realize what they have done is a disaster?

    Have mostly simmed through 2.5 seasons and upgraded my trait points and X factors to the point I am an 86 OVR LW sniper, but I am forever stuck on the 4th line. The reason I have started simming is because when I sim a game I tend to average ~8 minutes of ice time. If I play a game, even if I score in the game I average 4-6 minutes. Thanks for making the only game mode I play on a regular basis completely unplayable

    I hope y'all are investigating the issue with the opposing AI as well. there should have been no reason I "missed" that poke check and the issue that it went straight to his stick AGAIN and the issue that I get gigged for it and the issue that you lose more percentages than you gain (I went from 75% defense down to 59%), and the issue where the player AI goalie lets those kind of goals in and the opposing goalie doesn't, and the issue where the AI opposing team ALWAYS AND I MEAN ALWAYS (95% OF THE TIME) score when the player is on the ice (out of 10 goals they scored, 9 were when I was on the ice because my AI teammates don't know what to do), and the issue........ do I need to go on?

    these are the things that upset me so much and the fact that I was "exhausted" before the start of this game because I had to play 3 games with no energy points to up my health. I would have just played defense but if I did that and did not try to score points my form score would tank so much I would have to start the game over again so this is all a no win scenario.

    That's exactly why I didn't get the early access release and waiting for the standard CD release, seems every single year they release a game and then a series of patches arrive this year is no exception. I predict a large update coming to the be a pro mode mostly targeting the form score, the be a pro mode is designed for experienced players not new players.

    all of that should have been done before you released the game. did you include in your trailer the fact that the game wasn't tested and we would have wait around and hope that it would be fixed at some point

    Way too many people are complaining about the form score I'm pretty sure there will be a patch coming and hopefully they tone down the silly diving plays in this game.

    I’m not saying to be a **bleep**, but scoring goals and getting points in general is the ONLY thing form score really recognizes. If you’re getting on the scoresheet as much as you suggest, the rest of your play (defense and play away from the puck) must really be suffering.

    We are currently investigating issues with Be a Pro. We'll have to see what the next update addresses.
