The hockey community deserves better

For about a decade this game has been simply not good enough. Every year there seems to be a new gimmick to give hockey fans false hope that maybe it will be better. Unfortunately it seems the new gimmicks don’t get play tested and they are overpowered. It seems the dev team is seeking short term monetary gains from HUT over building a game that the fans want.

Trust me I get it making these games is a huge undertaking it takes a lot of time money effort and skill. I think it’s time for change either EA needs to give up on the NHL titles and let someone else take over or you need to build a new game from the ground up and build it the way it should be which is hockey first.

the sad thing is EA knows it’s not good enough the game hasn’t been rated above 1.5 stars in forever now the only conclusion is they don’t care. Most of the game modes are half baked the ui and ux is borderline unusable. 30 minutes of play exposes issues that shouldn’t even make it to release.

EA if you guys want suggestions or care to actually hear what I’d change reach out and I can give you a list but I don’t think you need that I think you just actually need to read the feedback we’ve been giving you for years.

    Let's hope, that the new owners really are hockey fans. Only this could save this game. EA's NHL was such a gem back till about 2014 and they loved it and cared about it. Hope dies last. This game franchise could be such a blast. 

  • @xdms. EA just annouced they are laying off a number of people involved with the battlefield six franchise. Including the studio in Canada. Perhaps your wish may come to fruition, if they re-evaluated each game. A cost vs profit, as well as market share regarding this sports franchise.

    Wait, EA has got a new "head" for you soon. Let me guess, we got bear, wolf, octopus, shark...I'm probably missing some.

    How about Trump head? Think about it EA (lots of money in there)

    Clearly some of the most vocal issues aren't personally considered high priority by the team and that's why issues have remained the same for over a decade but would you be able to provide a small list of those full measure changes?

    Hi there. We are reading the feedback. I've personally been relaying it. We'll have to wait and see if it's acted on. Some of it has been, but obviously there are still some pain points.

    Thanks for being constructive. Absolutely appreciate it.
