EA and BAP Mode

Im really thinking that EA doesn't really care about Be a Pro. Every year they usually don't put any effort into it and now that they did, its entirely unplayable, so I don't know what they do or think about when they develop this game each year. I wonder if they have a smaller budget than other games since their career modes are usually more in depth. Be a pro is the most generic name possible and they seem like they only have it just to have a career mode, like can they not name it something else that seems more intriguing that would want to make people play it more. The cut scenes too are so badly done that its only a generic coach head with the same lines each time and only done through voice overs. The whole ahl, form score, and energy concept was a cool feature, but now seems like it ended up being the death of this mode. I know online is where they make extra money with the micro transactions, but are they aware that not everyone wants to play online and just want to do offline things, since people that play all day every day online are amazing at it and can just score no problem. Every patch that comes out really only benefits online modes, and with how much they promoted the new be a pro you'd think that with all the complaints about it, this would be one of their top priorities to make right. Im not really expecting that this mode will work as good as they promoted it to, but hey in 5 years when its time for a new one these issues will be fixed, but the new ones they will introduce will be the same as we're getting now, so we'll be back to square one.

    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.

    That would be a quick and easy fix just lower the form score down by 10 or 15 or even 20 across the board. I've been playing for a few weeks now and I still don't understand how the form score works, only thing I know is if you score goals and get assists the form score goes up.
