What’s Happened to EA Sports?

@Atishksingh 

You mention there are multiple game modes with microtransactions in NHL. This is incorrect. There is only one mode where you can spend additional money. That would be HUT. Several years ago, EASHL had them, but they were removed when making the transition to Xbox One and PS4 and are still not included with the current consoles. So, we've done the opposite of what you're saying by removing a way to spend extra money instead of adding more microtransactions.

We do not keep modes out of the game because of a fear they'll take away from HUT. If that were the case, there would be no EASHL, BAP, FM, Play Now, etc. Again, out of all the available modes, only one has microtransactions. Speaking of HUT, there have been more ways to get free packs, players and earn additional coins than ever. New methods for earning items/coins by just playing the game have been getting added each year for the last few years.
