Is NHL 19 worth $50?

I see a lot of mixed feedback on this forum - mostly negative. Should I keep it since I only paid $50 CAD new or return it because it’s not even worth that? I mostly play drop in’s and club if enough of my friends are on. Appreciate the input. Thanks!

That being said, there’s some bugs sure. I personally haven’t experienced much. I’ve been dropped from maybe 3 games in 35ish since Tuesday. I have had my audio/visual/controller settings reset 2-3 times. Which is apparently from switching between EASHL and Pro-Am. And yesterday morning 930am EST a buddy and I were having trouble finding full 6v6 drop-ins. Was about 1/5 searches. This might be due to EA tweaking the search parameters a bit, it’s buried in another thread what they did. If you’re interested I can try and dig it up. But I would imagine they will fix it soon.
None of this has been gamebreaking or life or death to me. Personally, I think people like to make mountains out of mole-hills, Head to boards and act like their whole day has been ruined.
I would recommend buying it. If you got the money. I only play EASHL though and I’m personally having an absolute blast.
I assume there will be a hot fix for the dropin issue any day.
I don't know why the NHL series gets a pass year in and year out. This game is priced the same as Spiderman for christ's sake, and the quality at release is light years behind.
I'm sure the funding/dev team is minimal compared to the bigger franchises like FIFA/Madden, hence the serious drop off in quality/experience. But then the game such should be priced as such also.
I'm not happy with the situation and contemplated trying to get a refund for my $90 but in the end I know it will get sorted by next weekend.
Game Lags in VS
CPU way too involved in the play
Larger players makes 6 vs 6 a snoozefest. All goals are ugly
Waiting for games is beyond crazy
Poke checking is joke, so many penalties makes for a boring game
3 VS 3 moves so slow, game should be fun but games usually decided on penalty shots.. should scrap and simply have shootout because that's what it is, just much slower
EA sucked all of the fun out the online.......it's gone forever. What was orgasmic 5-8 years ago is simply a borefest. I wish I could get my money back, they sucked me in with the beta.
Hopefully franchise will be fun and justify some of the purchase.
And if you play off-line they have a ton of sliders you can adjust to play the game the way you want to be played .
Some people are having trouble finding drop in games and it’s a issue that they are looking into.
I myself and others are not having any issues.
I’m loving it so far.
I've had more fun with NHL 19 than any other NHL title that didn't have GM Connected.
The game play is really good, I'm really happy with it.
Also, it's worth noting that almost every single person in this topic that are complaining and telling you to not buy the game, have very little posts on here, meaning what they say shouldn't be taken to heart.

There are tons of important things still absent from the game.
I don't have time to list them all but here's a few:
- Still no Addidas jerseys in create-a-team mode.
- Authentic goal songs removed from the game.
- They removed the ability to edit players' equipment in season mode.
Absolutely appalling and so, so disappointing.
