EA Hockey Game Is Garbage
Let's be honest,how many people would play a different hockey game if there was a comparable option. EA does not care a about their players and they make it obvious.
They have been told countless times to fix L2 and have not done it. They know that the L2 spammers use international ice to further the L2 crap and yet EA puts this stupid ice in ranked and hut champs games.
The ranked system was not a bad idea ,but EA did not follow through with what they promised I am in Plat 4 paying players in elite ,that was not supposed to happen. EA said you were playing players at your own level. It seems every placement game I get to go up a level I come up against players 2 levels above me on international ice of and they are L2 masters as well
Then they introduce a salary cap to the mode which at first was not bad. Then at TOS what do they do,they drop cards that you can only get if you spend money and give those cards insane abilities for free and huge salary cap relief . They screw FTP players and it is just garbage.
Then we get into the servers. The game match makes you in games that say you have 11 ping but the server for me as a player in Peterborough Ontario is in Norfolk Virginia against a player that the server is within 200:km from them where I am 1000 km away. My games says is have 11 ping but it feels like 100 ping as I am so far away from the server housing the game.Players think they are being lagged ,it is EA changing servers on them every game and that is why one game feels great and the next on a different server feels like dog poop.It is not a fun experience ,EA needs to do better but with no other hockey game on the market it is up to us to tell EA come on do better.
In summary EA needs to fix all of the above noted things and more that they have been made aware of by not only the players in these forums but their own game changers.
EA do better. If I was the NHL I would be ashamed to be associated with this game you present to the world as hockey. The product you have provided may look like hockey but it is not .
