I do not know how it’s possible that EA has put out the EXACT same be a pro year after year and still won’t address bugs year after year. Own goal bug, line bug, AI bug, and more. I hope that whatever dev reads this understands that no one believes that EA cares about anything other than money because of this stuff. Year after year, no bug fixes and everyone knows it’s because there’s no micro transactions in be a pro. It actually makes me sick. Here’s some bugs and concerns:
- Inconsistency between what line it says you’re on and what line you’re actually on. Out of game it states I’m supposed to be on the 2nd line but im on the third in game. My coach even pulled me aside and said we are sending you to the second so I promised to get a good grade, only to realize I’m not actually on the 2nd line! Great game!
- As mentioned almost every year, the simulation can bug and cause own goals to happen.
- AI players should never use dekes that bring the puck backwards at the blue line, if I see a 90+ overall player single handedly put himself offside again I’m gonna lose it, he’s supposed to be one of the best in the league.
- Overalls in general do not affect your teams AI as much as the other teams AI. This is blatant, and I’d love to know where in the setting I could tweak this. For instance when the opposing team gets a powerplay they are making clean passes and setting up plays which is perfect. But when I get a powerplay, it is always an AI giveaway, every single time. They either blatantly fail a pass that leaves the zone or just pass into traffic when people are open. Same goes for speed, you better bet that if McDavid is on the other team he’s a rocketship, but if I choose to play with McDavid he looks like an actual slug. Same tuners, same gamemode. There are definitely hidden tuners here, just like in the new moments btw which should be banned by EA, changing tuners without announcement is unethical in my opinion.
- As far as I understand, if you want to get a realistic experience and play in the memorial cup before getting drafted by a random team, you are forced to play on default rosters, in this case the rosters are absolutely abysmal and old. I get that you are being drafted in June/july of 2024 so technically the rosters are somewhat correct, but I don’t think anyone wants those rosters, the players drafted in 2024 aren’t playing with those rosters, I shouldn’t be either.
- The menus are slow and can glitch. The biggest I’ve noticed this year is sometimes my game time limit will change itself from quick to custom to medium to whatever it wants really, I have to be careful to check it before every game now.
- not a bug, but come on EA is this really entirely the same game mode you’ve had for 7 years or something. That’s unacceptable, look at your competitors in fifa, nba, madden, and more. They’ve all innovated, creating storylines or immersive worlds for a be a pro to exist in.
I’ve held on for so long as CHEL was my childhood but as an adult with choices to make about my money, EA is not showing me they care about anything other than money
