New Be A Pro is unplayable

As a big be a pro fan, this years so called "update" has been a huge dissapointment. There are multiple issues that ruin the gamemode and make it feel like grinding.

1 . The New form score system is absolutely ridicilous. 

It seems like the form score only bases on your point production and I have to keep it up ALL THE TIME, so I wouldn't get down in lines. One challenge asked me to keep up 85 form score in next 8 games and I literally have to score 2 points every game to make that happen. And when the 8 games are over, the coach just gives me another, exactly identical challenge. It just feels like grinding and the game isn't fun. Also it's very unrealistic to expect a rookie to score even a point per game and I would habe to score almost two per game to keep myself in the roster.

2 . We cannot use custom rosters in be a pro.

So, there is only one default  ea roster they use for be a pro and it's absolutely outdated and some of the players ratings are very inaccurate, so it eould be nice to use your custom roster. Also this deafult roster doesn't have many elite prospects like Gavin McKenna and because we can't use our custom rosters, NHL draft class quality is weaker.

3 . Character's overall drops significantly during offseason and I lost my X-Factor

I finished my season at 86 overall and during offseason, my overall dropped to 79.  Because of this I lost my tape to tape X-Factor, because I have to have atleast 93 passing and 89 offensive awareness and when these ratings dropped during offseason, I cannot use the X-Factor until I get my attributes back to that level. I also can't even use specialist or superstar version of the X-Factor during that time.

4 . Salary perks system is bad.

Every month the salary perks reset and the attributes go down if you don't renew them. It would be better if your attributes would actually stay up permanently.

 

5 . Every time I enter the Be A Pro menu, there's a very annoying sound coming from form score meter. It is possible to tirn it off in the settings by putting SFX volume to zero, but it also affects gameplay sounds and I don't hear skates and passing sounds anymore and it's frustrating to go back to the settings after every single game.

This new be a pro does have ome good additions like the new cutscenes and tunnel walkouts and even new menu music but these bad things ruin the game mode completely and destroy my motivation.

    I know this thread has gone quiet - but I’m with OP here.

    My player had, by all accounts, a good game for a Defenseman in a 5-2 win. +1, 6 shots, 8 hits. Had a fight, and lost it. 

    But I got 0 points, which is what I assume is what caused my player’s form score to be 47.

    What are we doing with the form score here? What was the solve that was being addressed by the form score?
