EA and BAP Mode

I agree totally. EA does not care about Be A Pro mode. they just "fixed" the 'icy pond hockey' but made it worse. there should be no reason ANY player has to have a form score of 90 to stay in the NHL. that mean you would have to score 1 or more goals (yes GOALS) every game to stay there. that is not realistic. add to the fact that you only get 5-6 energy per WEEK and up to 12. so if you play your heart out and get "tired" you have to use almost all of them to get it back up without getting debuffs. and to boot, to get trait or X-factor points you have to use energy and those are 2 a piece. not to mention all the game play issues with poke checks, stick lifts, penalties, and AI stupidity. it's just horrible but EA says they listen to the community but there game says otherwise. I like defense and had made an enforcer. an enforcers job is to hit people and fight NOT TO SCORE GOALS. maybe assists but not many goals. it's nearly impossible to keep even an 80 form score as a defenseman and that is on superstar with most of my sliders for human WAY up. so I made a forward. in one of my preseason games, I scored 1 goal and was like +2 or 3 but my defense was way down and so was teamplay. reason for that was I had it on pro just to score a goal because another issue is they "amp up" the opposing AI goalie for the player. my teammates score but I couldn't even on pro difficulty. I spent more time in the offensive zone than the defensive zone so my defense was down. also only being 5'8 175 lbs I kept getting blasted and knocked down. even with scoring a goal my form score was 45. it's like a no win scenario. so to supplement the low defense I have to score more that 1 goal. this is just not realistic. I read on a post back in either NHL 24 or 25 that "people want to score goals" bull crap. maybe young kids do but not the ones who want a realistic hockey game. if someone wants to score that many goals let them adjust the sliders and put the difficulty on rookie but give us a REALISTIC HOCKEY GAME. PLEASE. heck they could have just gotten rid of all the stupid challenges in NHL 25 and skipped the stupid form score and just went by the coaches feed back and fixed the issues with the AI, I think it would be alright. so lets say these are your form scores for 8 games.

80, 50, 90, 45, 80, 80, 50, 60. those equal 535 points divided by 8 gives you a chapter form score of 67. your going to the AHL. so that's 4 games above 80, 3 games between 50-60 (still above 50% game play), and only 1 below 50 but you still would go to the AHL. that is NOT realistic.
