They have all the components to put together a really great BAP game. But they dont give you everything at once. They had really good ideas dating back from NHL09. Example, the banner being raised. It was in previous editions and it’s gone and has been gone for 11 years. I remember when they brought back the hats being thrown on the ice after a hat trick, but that was in earlier editions as well.
EA adds, then subtracts. It’s like ordering a nice meal at a restaurant. I get my steak, but they didn’t give me the potatoes, so they come back with the potatoes but remove the steak. I ask for the steak, but they take away my drink, I ask for my drink and they remove my utensils, then they bring back my drink saying we reimagined your drink, but its the same thing just in a different glass. Just give me my entire meal all at once. Thats all I want.
They gave us a whole new BAP, but removed the Calendar, They allowed us to be demoted to the AHL, but they removed the ability to see all the stats from the league that you are not in. They added in the world Jrs in the beginning of your BAP career, but dont give you the ability to have current rosters.
EA doesn’t have to do anything extra special. I dont care about how a hit looks in slow motion. Just give me a game that works well
