How could you make be a pro worse than 25

I just created a new be a pro in 25 and it's miles better than the new one. It is repetative, but in comparison with the new one it was better.

Yes, the new one fixes a bug with x factors being too hard (for some even impossible) to obtain, but in NHL 26 you only could play in the 4th line with the great new Form Score feature. I'm not buying and playing 26 or newer ones with this mode, it was the only mode that I liked in your game, even if it was poorly made. Now it is just not fun or realistic, it is just bad mode, you broke it with form.

So happy that EA Play trial saved me 70 bucks with this one

  • Another thing is that you could just used Coach feedback to evaluate the player, it is fine, but you implement some new metrics and mechanics and just don't test them, because you don't have time or people.

    The result? The biggest upgrade mode for your new game is unplayable on harder difficulties, you need to play on Rookie to be able to rise up. NHL 25 (Coach that wants to talk to you 3-4 times in the game with unskippable cutscene) or NHL 20 (last one before pricey pond hockey) had better Be a Pro mechanics than this one.

    Knowing that X Factor bug was in the game since NHL 21 in be a pro all the way to NHL 25, I don't think you would fix the issue, but I hope you would, because the gameplay on ice is good.

    The fact that you can start developing your man from the junior league at the age of 16 is a lovely feature of NHL20. If you combined the best of NHL20 and 25, you would have a really good be a pro.

  • the game was released Sept 12 and got 1 quick, supposed, form score patch on Sept 15. nothing for Be A Pro since then only for the online players. it's been over a month since that quick patch (to me, didn't do a dang thing) and have heard NOTHING from EA weather they are fixing that stupid form score or telling us to go screw ourselves. to me, it shouldn't take a month to fix form score with ALL the complaints about it. I just don't see how hard it is to change a few number in the code but again I could be wrong. but the point is with all the posts here about it you would figure they would be keeping us informed about what the heck they ARE doing with it or not doing. to me silence tells me they are saying " we got your money so just deal with it". Ovsyany said the trial saved him, wish it did for me. when I tried the trial it was NOT this bad. I had not changed a single setting and had the game on superstar and for the first time my AI players played like they were supposed to and I did really well. I was like gosh they actually fixed the game!?!? as soon as the game was "released", it was like they changed the freaking code back to the horrible state it's in now.
