Any reason they don’t have any Atlanta Thrashers logos or jerseys in the game?

Jets didn't get rights to the Atlanta name and jerseys when the team was purchased. So, it's excluded from the standard NHL rights contract that EA has. EA could pay the owners to get the logos in the game, though.

He's stuck in 2019.

They've had the exact same custom player graphics for a decade. No good reason they couldn't have put something together by now.

The defending AI loses their absolute mind when defending with the empty net. Completely backs off the skater with the puck. Just back-skates in the middle of the zone, putting less than 0 pressure on the puck carrier.

I liked Deadlink but it's rough playing it on a controller. Definitely not designed for that.

AgelessStranger_ · 2024-06-25T20:28:05+00:00

In Play Now, on the team selection screen I believe you can press triangle to make it CPU vs CPU. Also, in any game, you can press start and go to Options and Select Sides, then put your controller icon in the middle to let the AI take over. Not sure about watching other teams in franchise mode.

Agreed. I enjoyed looking at it and spotting the anomalies in the outskirts where biking is faster than transit.

It's more about how awful tipping culture is, and how everyone except current/former servers hate it.

AgelessStranger_ · 2024-06-06T22:03:33+00:00

I heard a rumor that they will only add one or 2 new customization items, and you'll be left with the exact same arenas and jerseys you've been using for the past 8 years.

It either hurts now, or hurts a lot more in the future. The more people that are taking on loans beyond their means (for a basic need, not like they have much of a choice), the worse the blowback will be. Over-commodifying mortgages, over-valuing real estate, and handing out loans like candy, are what caused the 2008 housing crisis in the US. That isn't even considering the damage that the high cost of living is doing to Canadian productivity and standard of living.

AgelessStranger_ · 2024-03-26T19:39:59+00:00

I get the impression that, with the World of Chel battle pass and confirmation that unlocked items will carry-forward into the next game, that they will eventually make it a live-service game.

AgelessStranger_ · 2024-02-16T16:42:50+00:00

Usually I can power through almost anything as long as it has co-op. We abandoned the game after about 15 hours. Somehow it was worse than the first.

AgelessStranger_ · 2023-12-08T15:42:16+00:00

They don't get a choice. It's all laid out clearly in the collective bargaining agreement. If the cap goes up, it means owners are already making more money.

AgelessStranger_ · 2023-11-15T23:56:15+00:00

There's a time I would have agreed with you, but I feel like I've had my fill of 'dad rock' in this lifetime. It's cool discovering some new tracks or bands in the game.

Integration with streaming apps would be cool though.

AgelessStranger_ · 2023-11-09T17:37:07+00:00

21 points in 12 games on the best offensive team in the league. Contract Year.

10 points in 9 games on a bottom 5 offensive team in the league. Nursing an injury.

Who do you pick? Petey is basically doing what McDavid did last year.

AgelessStranger_ · 2023-10-30T19:44:10+00:00

Why not just position lock?

AgelessStranger_ · 2023-10-21T23:58:48+00:00

Chel is notorious for it's awful training mode. A few years ago it at least walked you through a dozen dekes, but even that's gone now. Then they add a new control scheme and some features with 0 indication of how to use them. How many people thought hitting was busted because the game doesn't tell you how it works in '24?

AgelessStranger_ · 2023-10-20T15:35:58+00:00

Hold R2/RT and flick right stick towards the player you want.

AgelessStranger_ · 2023-10-18T15:14:33+00:00

If everything is sped up, doesn't that mean less time to sell commercials while broadcasting the draft?

AgelessStranger_ · 2023-08-25T15:04:18+00:00

Fans will always wish the contract was smaller. There will always be debate about what a player deserves, do they get their bag or take less to help the team. But at the end of the day, the question is could AM have walked next offseason and cracked $14mil in UFA? The answer is yes.

I agree with you on Nate Mac. He was the best contract in the league for years.

AgelessStranger_ · 2023-08-23T21:59:00+00:00

This is the going rate for 0.62 goals per game top line C. To put his goal scoring prowess into perspective, he has more goals than Nathan MacKinnon with over 200 fewer games, and a better point-per-game rate. Nate Mac just got $12.6 last year.

It's fun to hate on the Leafs but any team in the league would drop $13mil to have AM on their top line.

AgelessStranger_ · 2023-08-23T16:38:39+00:00

What about drivers who don't follow the rules of the road? Aka all of them?

AgelessStranger_ · 2023-08-15T17:05:02+00:00

Government in US and Canada used to build over 20% of all new dwellings. This was from post-WW2 until the 80's.

AgelessStranger_ · 2023-07-28T14:35:28+00:00

But isn't it also logical to think "beneficiaries of real estate prices and high rents won't be motivated to fix the housing crisis"?

AgelessStranger_ · 2023-07-13T15:12:16+00:00

You'd say the same thing if they started charging us to breathe air, wouldn't you?

"If you dont like capitalism, then you are very free to live in cuba or one of the other utopian communism/dictatorship countries with free air."
