They have become a franchise that seems only concerned with financial gain. They have lost the direction this game set out to be. When there were other variations of the NHL game, EA was much more contributing to the overall player base. Now. They manipulate the direction of the game, such as the XP format, the Captains format. Salary based teams. Intro of new objectives, making you adopt certain team players to achieve it. And now. The flipping of wildcard to online, rather than open to both online/offline.

I couldn't agree more, besides that this "Hockey" game comes with so many flaws and bugs that may or not may have been introduced on purpose but made or stayed in-game and nobody seems to care about fixing those glaring bugs because why should they? As long as gamers shell out money for the -mostly useless- card packs all is good for EA.

Basically whatever can be wrong in a game manifests itself in this installment. From the still choppy player movement [2K was better concerning this 16 years ago] to the "Thing that shall not be named", to the switch to getting rid of offline players. It's a sad time for hockey fans who don't want to wear childish costumes on their avatar-player and play CHEL. Time for a line change.
