Make NHL games great again (NHL 27 wishlist)

Categorically untrue. Echo chambers built on riling up less-skilled players with nonstop negativity are not an accurate reflection of overall consumer sentiment.

The term "echo-chamber" is tossed about far too easily, to the point where it's become nothing more than a buzz-term or cliche to try and stem valid criticisms.   It's bold to assume to majority of people who aren't speaking up are only staying silent because they are happy.   It's more than likely they've just moved on, because that's what the casual gamer does: If a game is absolute horse$#it like 26 is, they just move on to the next one and don't bother with it anymore.   

I will agree that less skilled players tend to be negative constantly...but to assume that everyone lodging their complaints is bad is just...myopic.

And I normally agree with a lot of your takes, and respect you and your opinions because they're rarely condescending, but educational at times as well...but I've played this game for over 25 years, been a top 500 WoC/EASHL player for the past 12...and aside from the PS4/XBone disaster that was '15, and maybe, '17...I've never seen a release get this much vitriol.   I'm here because I love the game still, I do still find it fun (against my better judgment and concern for my own sanity)...but there's a lot of opinions out there, from top players that this game is one of the worst in the series in recent memory.
