Form score, 4th line grinder

Because it felt pretty dumb having my rookie score 23 goals in 18 games in the NHL.  I thought it would be a challenge to play as a 5'5 grinder.  I just barely missed making the team, because of course they expect you to score a goal every game otherwise you are bad and can't hang in the NHL.

Played my 8 games in the AHL 8 goals, 1 assist.  (The team AI is even worse now, so hard to get assists aside from rebounds)

I am now on the 4th line.  First game, I had 5 hits, 3 shots, 1/1 on the faceoffs, 1 takeaway, 0 give aways.  I played three and a half minutes that game.  Form score?  50.

Game two.  5 hits (3 injuries and 2 fights from the clean hits, won both fights) 2 shots, 3 of 4 on faceoffs. No giveaways. I took one penalty.  Form score?  20.  I played 4 minutes.

What do they expect you to do on the 4th line?  Do you even test the game you make?

EA managed to actually make their game worse.  You need to be breaking records or else you are getting demoted. 

Please EA just scrap this BAP.  It is hot garbage.  Don't even try and fix it next year.  It is beyond broken.  Make a simple BAP where you just play like every other player. 

 I have a goalie character that was drafted in the 7th round but he's having press conferences about how he underperformed in the calder race.  He is currently 3rd in voting with a .926 save percentage and 1.86 goals against.

Please no more dialogue, no more media tasks, if you guys think of something new and interesting just don't do it.  Just forget about that thing that could be cool, because even if it could be cool, EA making it so it will be bad.

 

I am sorry to the 3 people that work on this game.  With the budget of $10,000 (I assume)

    You have to get the form score in the preseason and get promoted to the 3rd line to stay off the 4th line in the NHL to save your career. The form score is very silly you have to score goals in every single game to get the form score and the challenges. I got pretty good at scoring goals it's the only reason I keep moving up the lines and playing the game. I'm Playing on Allstar difficulty and Currently on the 1st line in 43 games I have 54 goals 36 assists for 90 points with a huge +/- and leading all players in goals and points by far and this is my rookie year. It's very silly the form score and needs some serious adjustments, I'll probably shatter all NHL records in my first year as a rookie just to keep making the form score LOL.

    Waste your first 15 point to there:

    Never again 4th line or AHL. But after this, don't be surprised if you don't score any goals or made points, the computer can pay back this.
