Hey EA_Aljo
I understand that a lot has been improved — that’s the natural progression across console generations. I’ve been playing NHL since 1997 on PC, and I switched to console starting with NHL 2010. There’s been progress, sure, but not nearly as much as there logically should have been after all these years.
The graphics have been basically the same for several years (with only minor changes). Cutscenes are the same, except for a few additions. WoC – Drop-In, Pond 3v3, etc., all feel identical. Clubs — the same… no real changes.
Gameplay? You can see for yourself how many negative comments and posts there are :( That alone says a lot about where the game currently stands — and where it’s heading.
I understand that the developers and the whole EA team working on the NHL series are small and have a limited budget — but in that case, they shouldn’t be selling NHL as a full-price AAA game.
