The game mode is missing a ton of features. Most notably, the lack of a junior season. That’s just sad and ruins the game, among many other aspects
@SkylerJames13 This drove me just as insane as the Injury Information Glitch did. The nature of the script in Be A Pro FORCES you to ALWAYS be the hero and center of attention. Why should I be as just a 4th line plug and enforcer?. That's what was honestly fun about the previous games to me. I could at least slightly simulate the goon life. And the goon life is being in the AHL and then getting called up to play, and if your lucky hanging around a season. Now in NHL 21 I can't even play in the CHL and the AHL stuff is also more limited it seems. And the presentation always thrusts you into the limelight despite your performance or role. As you said why should anyone be highlighting my hits and fights when there is a centerman or forward with multiple goals and points in assists that game. It ALWAYS shows your highlights and shows you on the bench. Nevermind the AI that performed better, they get little to no love in any of the BAP game presentation. There was games where I did nothing and would be talked about as if I was Crosby and scored 5 goals. Meanwhile 2-3 people on my team scored and there is barely any notice. The immersion and realism is also broken due to issues like that. The game makes you the hero and MVP even if you did not perform as such. I remember in NHL 19-20 my small enforcer build was a ton of fun. But I had to pick my fights wisely. One time I fought Wilson and got my nose broken. Another time I thought I was ready for Ovi and got a concussion. Missed damn near the entire playoffs. Got sent down that year. And another time after a bad hit I challenged Chara like an idiot. He pushed and pulled me down and barely struck me, yet I got an upper body injury from being taken down. That's what made the game fun, and all the information therein. Now it seems those little immersive features that were there before are now gone for some unknown reason.
