Where GM online ??

Every year its a "step in the right direction." Even if they take 10 steps back before they take the one step forward. Gm Connected/online franchise is in every major sports title but NHL. Lucky are those of us that saw the birth of video game hockey (games like blades of steel, NHL 94), the first revolution (ea vs 2k early years), the second revolution (EA vs 2k on ps3/xbox360), the peak (NHL14), the rock bottom (NHL 15 on ps4/xbox1), and now the mediocre rise to complacency (nhl 16 to current).  Its pretty sad when you boot up NHL 14 and see what we used to get in a NHL hockey video game. What is worse is seeing EA going in a direction that literally no hockey fan has ever asked for (the stupid fortnight skin/pond hockey/give us money battle-pass scheme that they've been running for 6 plus years). We desperately need someone else to get into the hockey game market. Purely for the fact that EA can spit out whatever they want and people buy it b/c they want to play hockey games. EA knows this, and they dont seem to care. Sure dev's might, but the people above them counting the money want one thing...more money. I've waited to scoop up NHL on sale and refuse to pay more than 1/2 price for the game since nhl22 esp when its nothing more than a glorified tuner and roster update, but this year is it. Time to move on until they get back to what the player base wants and needs to see. Maybe take a look across the hall at how BF6 is doing things, while not perfect, it has a lot of the community looking at it in a positive manner. 

There is a lot from that interview that has not yet been seen..it's very disappointing, it seemed like a step in the right direction at the time and honestly there was more innovation and year to year changes before they took over, yet they're raking in more money then ever through hut. It's sad 

Franchise Connected or PC release (or both) and I'll buy the game again. I used to buy every year, but haven't since nhl 18. Guess I'll keep playing franchise hockey manager.. 

Grudge match, flopping goalies, reverse hit, pressure system, and total control garbage took precedent over it lmao.
