Inconsistent play
Idk if others experience this but it seems like there are some games where I’m a goalie god and I could stop actual lightning. And the. There are games where I’m a turn style letting literally any and everything go in. I don’t change my build, I don’t change how I play, it could be silvers or elites, doesn’t matter. I’ll make graceful sliding glove saves and sprawling kick saves one game, and the next I’m a blind kid with Parkinson’s. Why? Is programming that hard? We have AI now, let an AI bot make a game for you. Preferably not an AI bot that you guys made. Use chatgpt, then maybe we’ll get something worth the money we pay.
New Be A Pro is unplayable
As a big be a pro fan, this years so called "update" has been a huge dissapointment. There are multiple issues that ruin the gamemode and make it feel like grinding. 1 . The New form score system is absolutely ridicilous. It seems like the form score only bases on your point production and I have to keep it up ALL THE TIME, so I wouldn't get down in lines. One challenge asked me to keep up 85 form score in next 8 games and I literally have to score 2 points every game to make that happen. And when the 8 games are over, the coach just gives me another, exactly identical challenge. It just feels like grinding and the game isn't fun. Also it's very unrealistic to expect a rookie to score even a point per game and I would habe to score almost two per game to keep myself in the roster. 2 . We cannot use custom rosters in be a pro. So, there is only one default ea roster they use for be a pro and it's absolutely outdated and some of the players ratings are very inaccurate, so it eould be nice to use your custom roster. Also this deafult roster doesn't have many elite prospects like Gavin McKenna and because we can't use our custom rosters, NHL draft class quality is weaker. 3 . Character's overall drops significantly during offseason and I lost my X-Factor I finished my season at 86 overall and during offseason, my overall dropped to 79. Because of this I lost my tape to tape X-Factor, because I have to have atleast 93 passing and 89 offensive awareness and when these ratings dropped during offseason, I cannot use the X-Factor until I get my attributes back to that level. I also can't even use specialist or superstar version of the X-Factor during that time. 4 . Salary perks system is bad. Every month the salary perks reset and the attributes go down if you don't renew them. It would be better if your attributes would actually stay up permanently. 5 . Every time I enter the Be A Pro menu, there's a very annoying sound coming from form score meter. It is possible to tirn it off in the settings by putting SFX volume to zero, but it also affects gameplay sounds and I don't hear skates and passing sounds anymore and it's frustrating to go back to the settings after every single game. This new be a pro does have ome good additions like the new cutscenes and tunnel walkouts and even new menu music but these bad things ruin the game mode completely and destroy my motivation.New Be A Pro still needs improvements
There was a new gameplay update which fixed some issues on be a pro mode (which I play alot.) But there is still some features I would like to be fixed/added. For example for me it seems impossible to grow some of my player's stats like acceleration, agility and balance is impossible to get over 90. I have used my trait points to grow these to 90 and all of them are on max level but it won't grow naturally and I can't updgrade these stats from salary perks because none of those has these. Also it's very frustrating when my player's attributes drop due a low health and I have to go to the "activities" section after almost every game to boost my health . This would be that bad if X-Factors didn't have requirements, like elite edges, agilty 89+ and when I simulate or play even one game, some of my stats have dropped below the requirement and it won't let my use the X-Factor untill I go to boost my health again. This happens almost every game and it's extremely annoying and just waste of time. Also about X-Factors why there is so few of them available for certain player styles playmaker for example. And for power forward there is a lot more of them, like quick draw is available for power forward player style, but not for playmakers, which makes no sense. Also, the feature when the coach gives you the same challenge "stay on powerplay one" yet and yet again, even though I'm 96 overall and scoring points top 5 in the league. I understand this might keep the regular season a bit more active for the player but it's still so meh to do the same challenge over and over through the season when it resets after 8 games. The character's shoot/pass bias should be adjustable by the player itself, because my character takes a lot of shots, often top 5 in the league. That would not make the character to score any more points because it just affects the goals and assists ratio. (Atleast by my thinking) Some smaller things: When I was a free agent and 90 overall, I got offered 15 million a season. Isn't that a bit too high for 90 If all of these things would be added, the Be A Pro would be almost perfect in my opinion."content updating" bug-gameplay is significantly impacted
HUT "Content Updating" bug-for 3 weeks now my game has popped up a "content updating" message going into any game, any store menu, and set screen, in settings it shows "new version available" but clicking does nothing except pop up the same content updating message. i've deleted and reinstalled the game, cleared ps5 cache, tried restoring license. my players stamina dies instantly, my goalie does not move on any deke move, skaters have their "ankles broken" every stop/start, every loose puck ends up back on opponents sticks, goalie will not tie up a loose puck in front of net.
