NHL 17/18 Online Broken Achievements/Trophies

Hi I saw the notice for NHL 17 & 18 shutting down on June 6, 2022. I wanted to ask there are a couple achievements that haven't worked for a while that are tied to limited time events.

NHL 17 achievement  - Complete a limited time Hockey Ultimate Team Set.

This achievement is for doing a set during a limited time period. There is a similar achievement to this in EA Sports UFC 2, but for that achievement EA went and set a clock on that doesn't expire for years from now so the achievement/trophy can still be unlocked. Is it possible to put up one last limited time set for this one that expires in 3 months so we can finally finish off this game? All the other achievements/trophies work fine.

NHL 18 achievement - Complete a limited time Hockey Ultimate Team Set.

Same as NHL 17

NHL 18 achievements -

Earn a HUT Competitive Seasons reward.

In HUT Competitive Seasons, earn a ranking within every round of a season.

 

There's also 2 achievements tied to HUT competitive seasons which was a limited time thing again is there an ability to put a timer that ends on the server closure for this?

  • I'm an achievement hunter and I came to see that NHL 18 is getting a server closure in June. I'm worried about an achievement named *Master!* which require you to complete a master set. The achievement need you to have either a Master collectible, (basically no where findable) or to complete 15 of the heroic sets (basically impossible now in 2022). What I'm asking you guys would be to give the players/achievements hunter a free master collectible once entering the Hockey Ultimate team mode, this way making sure this achievement is still doable before the server closure in june, Would probably take 30 minute for one of your employee to work on that so I'm willing to pay some money to cover the time it would take to work on this legacy title. Thank you for your answer!

    We'll check into this for you to see if the team is able to make any changes. They are primarily focused on NHL 22 therefore we cannot guarantee these requests can be fulfilled but we'll let them know there are players out there that would like to finish these achievements before services go down.

    @EA_Blueberry I appreciate that. Like I said all it would take is just to put up a set with a timer on it that ends on June 6th. They did the same for UFC 2 so I know the technology exists to do it.

    @EA_BlueberryAny updates?

    NHL 17 is probably the most requested one, because its just one achievement that is broken and involves a mode that is not taken down since it just needs to be a limited time set and there are a bunch of normal non limited time ones up there.

    @anthonyd462 

    Received an update. There is unlikely to be any changes for any content in game that would make achievements for those titles eligible. :\

    When online services for these games are in motion to be shut down, it's due to a very small playerbase that exists on them. The teams have shifted their focus onto newer titles and projects. Older titles such as this can exist on previous design systems which also can unfortunately pose a challenge for available resources.

    @EA_Blueberry I can understand this for NHL 18, because the mode is discontinued, but for the limited time set in NHL 17 the sets mode is still active and has working sets up there it's just none of them up there are "limited time" ones.

    Would somebody from the ea team please just consider to help us out? You can't allow people to have a single trophy like this be preventing them from getting the platinum for this game. Take time away from the newer nhl series for a minute and post a limited time set so we can feel quite a bit more satisfied with the end result. I'm way too much of a trophy hunter to just believe that you simply won't consider such an opportunity for the people.

    @convolutedness This conversation got continued here :

    Basically from @EA_Blueberry response it sounds like the resources aren't there to get this done. I've tried asking multiple times and I believe ea blueberry said they asked the team that would be in charge of this and they just are giving EAB an answer of this just isn't something on their priority list which sucks.
