@Beauts90 they certainly just slapped some gum on the mode and hoped we would fall for their deceit (which we did)
If EA actually supported the offline community and fixed the awful bugs they introduced, I would give them the benefit of the doubt. But if the original Star Wars battlefront 2 can STILL get patches, considering it was released 16 years (it didn’t work, and they had to revert it. But they care about their players) then I don’t see why we can’t get a bug fix.
Maybe not a great example, as different developers, different work loads etc but I just think it’s crazy that EA fixes a couple bugs (though only one or two for FM) and then buggers off, leaving us having wasted $80 on a game we can’t even play. And then they expect us to buy the new one, because they wait til the next instalment to fix the bugs. What a disgusting manipulative marketing tactic.
This will likely be my last NHL game I buy, as I have a decent gaming computer and I won’t be buying the PS5, unless I can get it for cheap. And even then, I doubt I would buy NHL 22, since they can’t seem to figure out how to release the game in a playable state and they keep locking us out of features.

@SkylerJames13 Little late for a reply, but I completely agree. Bought every game since I was eight (NHL 08) so clearly a long time customer, but it feels like year after year since the jump to the Xbox One/PS4 generation the offline community has been largely shafted.
Be A Pro and some GM mode/franchise changes were definitely steps in the right direction, but they update one offline thing a year, create new bugs, then solve them next year. Meanwhile online gets constant updates and bug fixes, as they should, but we don't see the same care to offline modes, which is kind of sad.
Several offline bugs have been present since this generation started, namely the one I started this thread for.
