Mike Inglehart and Chris Haluke
They've been behind the wheel for 3 seasons now. They sat down for an interview 2 years ago.. https://x.com/EASPORTSNHL/status/1690015344847355905?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5...

Oh trust me I have asked to have ingame surveys about game modes, mechanics, certain X-Factor thoughts. I wish it does become a thing in the future because the best place to survey people is where people are actually playing the game.
As for the Discord. Let's be 100% honest here. Do you think it would be used for good? My answer is it would just be filled with hate spewing talk. Plus you wouldn't be guaranteed to talk with Devs it would probably just be where they post HUT updates, patches, and leave an area for you to leave feedback which would probably consist of mostly terrible feedback saying "game is bad, fix"
Look after seeing the NHL 26 trailer we all saw today I can 100% understand how many of you are feeling severely let down by what was shown. I'll say it. I'm let down also. I know people want to see info about deep dives, they want to see what changes were tweaked/made, they want to see actual gameplay that isn't dolled up with fancy shots to make it look extra pretty.
I think when the game initially releases the discord would be really toxic, after that I think it would become constructive. Skull and bones was one of the most hated games when released (in recent memory) the opened a discord and it was filled with a lot of upset people.. after a couple months it became really constructive. The devs had open communication. Every few months they had open Q&A and spoke about their vision for the future. Every time there was a new update it seemed like a lot of issues were addressed. It's still not the game many expected but it's hard to be upset with the devs as they've spoke about what theyre doing and have kept open communication. No man's sky also seemed to have lots of updates and open communication (though I'm not as familiar) look at how active and attentive the college football dev team seems to be. Look at their latest patch and how much it added. We couldn't even get the NHL team to add a match room size or patch the L2 glitch for an ENTIRE year. Then they ask us to pre order this one w/o knowing if it's fixed or what they've taken away or broke now? Wild.
It just seems like these guys need to stick with Mario strikers or w/e. I think this project is too much for them.
