The more the merrier

Okay, clearly this game was released before it was ready. Among such a loooong list of bugs that seem to be sitting on the back burner for HUT and CHEL updates is the stamina system. It is CRAZY. There’s no possible way to stay in peak health, or anything above “tired” with a whopping 5 energy points per week, when up to 3 games are played per week. On top of that, zero stamina is recovered on days off. Back to back hockey games during a season mean a long break. Most of which is spent doing video prep and light skating work to recover. These teams are like health regeneration machines these days. They have literal teams of health advisors, equipment, and nutritionists to mitigate muscle and joint fatigue. They give players games off during the season to recover. They even scratch some of the boys in the last stretch of the season if the team is  holding a playoff spot.

Also, while it’s nice that the perks are on a payment system, why can’t I spend my money freely? I’ve got all this money from my trash rookie (#1 overall pick but less than some other rookies in the league) contract just building up because I have to wait a month to use my allowance.  

Does EA not have athlete advisors for the development of these games?
