Be a Pro Issues

Okay, so clearly this mode wasn’t play tested by the development team. Maybe they weren’t given time, idk. 
form score in the last patch was updated for scratch, 4th line and 3rd line players. Glad to see it. What about 2nd and first line players? To get on 1st line I need to have 85 form score???? What? That literally is not possible if you play on a higher difficulty. 
it is not realistic to score a goal a game. I don’t want to do that. I want a challenge. 
EA_Aljo​ can the team fix form score? At a bare minimum can we be told explicitly how it is calculated? I’m leading my team in goals, points plus minus and I’m not on the top line because I can’t get 85 form score. This is impossible.

Second issue that clearly was not QA’d or play tested: my player has pretty much lost the X factor ability wheels. Why? Because I didn’t realize my acceleration stat (which I have maxed out in the TP tree) is at 90 when my health is at max (giving a bonus of 5%). I upgraded my wheels X factor to blue which requires 89 acceleration. So now if I play a game, my health goes down and I lose the X factor ability and can’t equip it because I lose the 5% acceleration stat. And there is NO WAY to equip yellow wheels again. Seriously, I’m trying to have respect for the development team, I’m a developer myself, but I swear these people don’t think.

How can I increase my acceleration stat in the game through gameplay? Since I’ve maxed out the acceleration TP tree, I’m kinda screwed??

  • I also want to add, it is impossible to get certain red X factors. Like Wheels (because there is no way you can increase acceleration to get higher than 90, and speed without salary perks), Big Rig (because you can’t get balance high enough - I get like 20 exp a game for this lmao), Elite edges (unless I do 3,000 spin-oramas cause this is the only way to get agility exp in game).

    Seriously, is this stuff intentionally made not possible to get or did the developers also not test this? 

  • Be a pro is so frustrating because I love the game mode and just haven’t been able to play it this year, it’s the only thing I want to play and now they’ve ruined it to the point of me deleting my player directly after every new update where they say they’ve fixed it… they ban me and ignore me for complaining😂 the form score IS THE WORST SYSTEM IN ANY RECENT SPORTS GAME and it’s 2025 let me say that again. It’s 2025 and you guys at EA put out a completely broken game…. Well I know it’s not lack of money so maybe it’s just laziness and a disregard for your community. I won’t be buying the next nhl for the first time in my life

  • yea i deleted the game the constant crashing and other probs i just got fed up with the game i love nhl games but this years game has been atricious i never got a game that has this many bugs and glitches i just decided to save the space on my PS5 so i deleted the game

  • Alright update, now I just got 10 goals in the preseason (obviously leading my team in goals by far) and then I had 76/80 form score on the second line. And then get demoted the AHL? What the absolute F? Are these developers incompetent
