Honestly, I worked with what I had and I have enjoyed it up until my game became unplayable because of a crash to desktop conversation trigger that has yet to be fixed. I played in the AHL, then was on the 4th line for an entire season. I put 20 minute periods and maybe played 4 minutes a game. I used all my energy into traits points every week and slowly got my attributes up to 90 overall with the game time as well. Then I was able to start scoring goals and getting assists and finally got up to line 3. It was pretty satisfying although a long grind, but I didn't mind it.
After 130 hours of my character I got an Agent challenge for a jewelry deal and then upon attempting to complete it my game crashed to home screen every single time. 100% unavoidable, and was mentioned by another player on XBOX with the same issue reported over 2 weeks before I reported mine. I've been told it's being investigated. I'm not sure how a crash to home screen that gets auto reported with video attached has still yet to be fixed. It completely ruined my save and I literally cannot play my 130 hour 94 overall Be a Pro character anymore. I could deal with the form score, I could grind the game out to eventually crawl up, but now I can't play at all. And to me that is the absolute worst part, and should have been patched as soon as possible.
Even if I wanted to spend all that time grinding back up again, how do I know I'm not going to run into a similar issue? So now I'm stuck waiting on a patch, which could be a month, months, who knows? I paid the $70 at launch for the new Be a Pro, and now I lost 130 hours because they can't prioritize the game mode which they sold us on. Which is a total shame.
