Hey @tuukka4033,

What about our 200+ legends would you like to know?

Legends were advertised to be usable in more offline modes other than Play Now. There were multiple marketing screenshots and videos of Gretzky holding the Cup but that's virtually impossible to do with Legends at the moment. An EA community manager said you guys were working on getting them to work in Franchise Mode but due to an age issue, it was put on the back burner and the issue was never addressed.

Outside of Play Now and HUT, what can we do with legends?

That sums it up....

Constantly had questions on here and EA always had some excuse, i feel like ea lied to all of us and what classless for not answering any questions about it.

Please tell me why i should continue to buy any more of their games going forward?

Careful criticizing ea they don’t like it. I’m sure they have a reason for misguiding players about the use of legends. Just wait and they will provide an answer through the forum as they always do when questions are asked of them. Be patient, by the time nhl 20 comes out you’ll forget all about this.

I genuinely cannot tell if this is sarcasm. We've been waiting for an answer since launch with little to no response or insight besides one tweet from a community manager. With no transparency for an under-delivered, heavily marketed feature, I will not be buying NHL 20 so no, I won't be forgetting about this.

At least you got a tweet that’s better than nothing right? If you don’t buy nhl 20 what alternative exists?

Also there is an commercial video with Peter Forsberg celebrating a cup win in avs uniform. Now my simple question is: how is this possible to recreate in the game you sold me?

"Better than nothing" is not acceptable. In what world is a false promise that was never fulfilled okay?

You're right, there is no alternative. But I'd rather skip a year (or more) than to give my money to a company who falsely advertises their product and doesn't care about community input. The only language they speak is money, so I'm voting with my dollar.

I think ea compares the sales and profits from their sport games and sees that nhl doesn’t bring in as much as madden or fifa. That then dictates the budget for next years game. And in ea’s world, hockey is like the dirty red-headed step child and therefore gets the least though and attention from the developers. Just a theory.

They are predicted on how many copies they are gonna sell so the budgets go accordingly. They don't care if NHL makes tons of microtransaction money because that just goes into their other projects not NHL and in the pockets of their investors of EA.

So this statement aged poorly.

That's exactly it, he responded with their answer and it's crickets. This series and the team is just plain comedy.

Cool story bro. But you're right, I won't buy the game.

tuukka4033

Was still hasn’t addressed this issue ea_roger any ideas why?

Tonysl79

To my understanding it’s not possible for ea to be able to answer all of everyone’s questions because it’s not in the ea developers job descriptions to even answer questions they do it as a courtesy to us the players. I was told this in a thread under the nhl off topic discussions board.

True. But when they do comment and respond, they only do so when it's convenient for them. There isn't much communication at all when the community critiques or offers criticism.

It's just a little odd that a developer account offers to answer OP's question, but then goes completely dark, y'know?

Welcome to the world of politics...ur maturing boyz. Thats life. Dont get mad anxiety forms get even. Dont buy the game..dont buy packs...simple. . Simple.
