Mike Inglehart and the current dev team.

I've asked before and never got an answer, so I'll try again. With no disrespect, when does their current contract run out with EA? I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that I have no faith in the cu...

what development strategies would you implement that meaningfully differ from the current approach?

How would you reduce turnaround time on bug cases?

What’s your plan for reallocating resources to fast-track the fixes you feel should be prioritized?

I mean; if you’re going to call for the firing of the people who make this game - tell us the real-world differences you’d implement. Saying “make the game better and more realistic” would be an unserious reason for such a drastic move.

First of I didn't ask for anyone to get the sack. I asked them to step aside.

I pay top dollar every year for a game that has numerous issues that can't be fixed or if it gets fixed they cause more issues than before.

If the budget is that low for NHL that should be reflected in the price for the consumer.

Nobody mentioned a more realistic game. One that doesn't have numerous issues would be a start.

Regarding budget. It does play into the overall cost, since they need to have a staff that is responsible for various aspects of the game. But with that said. If the developers, script writers, coders, programers are on top of their proffesion. Then the game itself should be on a consistent level. Problems would be minimal, and fixable when recognized. Each year, the game displays the same format. So that area doesnt need major alterations. Its when they bring about a new concept. Such as the pressure zone as an example. They waste experience on maintaining the aspects of the game that are working. And in doing so, a problem with these new designs, filters down into other areas, like a cancer. And it becomes more difficult to trouble shoot. Stick with whats working. Fix that which is broken, and then introduce new concepts. Provided they are truly vented, and flaws are illiminated before sale. Only then will your game reach the level of acceptance, that you should be striving for.
