  • Be a Pro is the only mode I play and I can tell you right now EA does not care about that mode at all for some reason. It takes 5 seasons to get to a 90 overall playing the way I do which is play a third of the season so I don't get bored. No team has a captain even Crosby's got an A on his uniform. Upgrading your player is like watching paint dry while everybody else is having fun outside. Don't even think about simming a few games in a row because even though you're a 4 time hart winner you have no place being on the first line. Honestly ever since NHL 15 I said I was never going to give my money to EA again but yet I keep getting sucked in. NHL 17 is just a newer NHL 15. I mean it took 2 years to implement a soundtrack back into the game. 2 YEARS!

    I love BAP, it's the only mode I've played for years. Four things with 17 though:

    1 - When you select no penalty for simming games there should be so penalty/punishment for simming games. This has been an issue for a long time already.
    2- The "Request a Trade" option needs to be restored.
    3 - Is it just me, or does fighting stop after your first full season in the NHL? I'm on my second BAP in 17 and both times I've been unable to fight after my rookie season, even with the fighting option maxed. Anyone else have this issue?
    4 - What happened to captains wearing the "C"?

    I contacted EA by their contact us page on their website and told them that the REQUEST A TRADE and also the MEDIA INTERVIEWS need to be added back into the be a pro to make it more realistic and they said that they sent the information to the dev's.. now I'm hoping that this is true and that it will be added in the next update

    That part about being on the first line isn't true because I was just promoted to the first line in my be a pro

  • What I meant was you get demoted if you Sim like 3 games in a row even if you are a Gretzky Crosby McDavid Howe Lemieux hybrid Michael Jordan Babel Ruth Usain Bolt Hercules Zues God Chuck Norris hybrid player. Earlier in the season McDavid went on a 10 game goalless drought but he remained on the top line because he's a franchise player. Now imagine that but better being moved down because he scored once in the last 3 games.

    How does that help gameplay, ?? How does fluff make a very lackluster game mode good ??

    Why not add intelligent coaching , so your coach outs out the stars when they need to be ... Intelligent AI , and player tendencies so it actually feels like hockey and you are playing along side certain players ... How about getting rid of automation, so this game is more skill based and not luck based... How's about a better attribute gap ? How about smarter goalies ? I can go on and on about core gameplay that makes this mode suck, request a trade ya a request a trade from this trash game to a real one please.
  • i don't have any problems with be a pro besides the media interviews and request a trade.. other than those two things I love the game

  • So Kopitar you enjoy playing brain dead hockey, watching the AI make bad passes time and time again as they have no awareness, score on themselves... When you need a goal the coach won't time put out his top line ... You enjoy playing the same predictable and unintelligent opponent, and aren't looking a challenge then ...


    You would rather be able to play with other brain dead AI by a different name that in no way resembles the real life player ? And pick one of four silly lines to say before and after the game to keep the media happy, which has no affect on anything ?

    ...I see... So you do not care about core gameplay...

    Honestly I find the game play for Be a Pro to be decent. I can't say that the ai is terrible because at least for me it's been adequate but of course there's been some stupid stuff that they do but for the most part it's been ok. Now you're absolutely right with the coaching. You have to stay on the ice even if you have no energy until at least 40 seconds have gone by. You can't have little shifts to improve your stamina and then you get put out there after a minute long shift and as soon as the face off is done you get in trouble for a long shift. Then there's the grading. There us no realistic way to get straight A's unless you only play the third period. If I play the full game I can score 10 goals 12 assists 30 hits and 3 blocked shots and my grades will look like B+ A- B- B in that order when in reality I just had the greatest game the hockey world has ever seen. Oh and also why is the all star game on the calender if you can't play in it. And finally upgrading your player is very tedious it took me 8 years to get to a 99 overall when I realistically should've had it at my 4th season but it takes a whole season to go up by 2. That's why I like 2k and MLB the show because you get training points which I am willing to pay for and I don't understand why ea wouldn't implement it into the game considering how much they lack funding.

    Like 'leafsandblues' said I think the game mode is awesome but its missing a few things that make up the background story like 'request a trade' and 'media interviews' if it had these 2 things it would make the game mode fantastic for me anyways

  • Please no media interviews. They were repetitive and stupid in the old games. Unless you can do it alot better, and you can't.
