KidShowtime1867 there really is no good reason to be a **bleep** on my thread. Keep defending EA as if they give you a paycheck. Keep acting like the community is wrong by shaming them and harassing them for asking for basic features to be returned to the game. Such a good little EA HERO you are
Kid isn't really wrong on most of his takes. He's been around forever and you just know how things are done when it comes to the NHL franchise. And this dates back to the old old forums when a dev by the name of Redshirt had posted. They aim for the NHL series to be around 80% real hockey with 20% arcade mixed in(talking about gameplay). So what happens is that arcade part just sticks out so much more and usually angers people.
I mean look at how presentation has been since making the jump to the Xbox and PS4 upwards. The presentation you have all asked for year after year still hasn't come and instead they have added their own takes on presentation. I I do understand all of your passion for it and they know it too, but who knows when they will truly jump back into that route.
Overall if you stick around for years you will see the routine the series has taken and it should give you an idea of what to expect or not expect.
