EASHL Is Embarrasing
Let me list the issues with this barebones mode:
- Can't take the time to randomly generate CPU names to freshen up the teams. You're playing with the same CPUs always, (ex. Carter and Nicholls as the goalies)
- Can't customize jerseys like in previous iterations. (Guessing your programmers were lazy? YOU HAD TWO YEARS)
- Ice tilt is real no matter how many times you deny it. Your guy forgets how to pass a puck or a CPU will control the puck even with 3 players pressuring them.
- Why do defenders continuously decide to pick the puck up and skate behind the net with it and fail to pass it off. They are pressured and are stripped of the puck like it's nothing.
- When puck controller tries to speed up by clicking in their analog stick you're supposed to be quick. Instead, a defender skating BACKWARDS keeps up with you.
- FURTHERMORE, your EASHL player is as good as a 3rd liner at most. This is ridiculous. Without being able to level up your guy in anyway each game you play feels the same and their is no reward to play this mode. Thanks for the badge, EA. Means a lot. If you are going to rip off Call of Duty's prestige system at least make it that at each few levels you get a boost in attributes or something that improves quality of your team.
These are off the top of my head. Do you want to be taken seriously as a sports game again? Then take the time and make each mode valuable. I play a load of HUT and sometimes pay for packs as do many people. You are getting your microtransactions. But if you want million of people playing your NHL franchise (like FIFA) instead of a hundred thousand (like pathetic NHL 15) then make some god damn changes. Either in your game through updates, or with a change in management and game programming. Mr. Rammer is not passionate about repairing this franchise.
- One person with the voice of thousands of players who are fed up with your lackluster content.
