So, I’m trying to find nice and easy, low effort ways for you guys to fix the currently unplayable Be a Pro. And I think it boils down to the form score system.To get a good form score, you NEED to score goals. And to maintain the form score, you need to score goals literally every game. I’ve had streaks of 4 straight games of a 100 form score, then I have one game where I don’t score, and it drops below 70.Let’s just make this very clear. Not everyone wants to play a career mode where they score every single game and are the Jesus Christ of hockey. Some of us want a realistic career simulation where we score every now and again and slowly work our way up the lineup. BUT, to even be on the 4th line, you need A GOAL A GAME. The way you have Be a Pro designed, the players HAS to be the best player in the league every game or you get demoted.Fix. Your. Game. I refuse to wait until NHL 31 when you decide you fix a broken game mode and slap it on the cover as a new feature.

Yea im not playing this game until thats fixed. I love having 6 goals 5 assist in 7 games, to get ONE bad game and get sent to the AHL... it makes SO MUCH SENSE, highest scoring player on the team as a rookie gets sent down lmao like wth...Also the health system is TERRIBLE

2nd year, won rookie of the year, play off mvp and the stanley cup.42nd game of the season - 38 goals, 12 assists - just got demoted to the 3rd line because I don't want to score every game the same way to be a bit more "realistic".i didn't even sniff the first line nor the 1st power play unit for these 2 seasons.This is just ridiculous, i'm shutting this game off and never turning it back. Form score is an absolute sh*t show. "You've been struggling this year" 😂

Been having the same issue and this is just ridiculous. I’m stuck on the fourth line because I’m not putting up multiple points a game with limited ice time to move up. Basically would have to play on the rookie setting and score like mcdavid to just get to the 3rd line. My health is depleted every week and all my points have to go into health otherwise I move slow as molasses. Meanwhile my management, brand and teammate score are completely in the gutter and I barely have anything to spend on traits and xfactors. I honestly did not think this game mode could be any worse than pricey pond hockey but guess I was wrong. EA for once listen to your audience and fix these things. Fix the slow menu lag for franchise mode while you’re at it. It should not be hard to do on next gen consoles. These are very minor quality of life improvements. I reluctantly bought this year because I held onto a small hope that it would be better but I wish I didn’t.

There is no way they even play tested the new be a pro. The community DEMANDS a change to the form score, at the minimum have a setting so simulated games have no affect on it like the line progression in older games.

yeah, it's awful... I had a goal to get to 40 games to end a chapter. During that I had 23 goals, 9 assists in 28 NHL games and just got demoted to the 4th line while being the best scorer of the team for not maintaining a 75 score form... I literally didn't score any points in only a couple of games. Absolutely crazy, this has to be fixed as the mode is impossible to enjoy. I don't want to score every game, I like to get goals differently which sometimes doesn't work out. What's the fun in getting breakaways, or driving the net with repeating 2 dekes for the goal each game? I strongly hope they listen or I've just thrown 70 bucks down the bin, not revisiting the game at this point.

I agree on top post. I would like to see the form score be based on the 3 letter grades and not just points. I like playing defensive positions. In addition, like the OP, I like to play realistic games that often are low scoring.

Bro I feel your pain, BUT, I did play on rookie and managed to make it to the NHL without demotion, and I scored 2 goals EVERY GAME, so my form score was at 100 every game. However, it is very confusing to actually have to be the ABSOLUTE BEST PLAYER OF ALL TIME to make it lmao.

I'm still in preseason with the goal of reaching the 7th game and a form score of 75. Managed to hit 100 on a couple games due to goals, high 70s another couple games from assists, and then all of a sudden my form average plummets due to getting a ZERO one game for not getting a point, although 10 shots on net. And now my average is below 75. Absolutely ridiculous system and unplayable. I came in optimistic and should have known better...
