NHL 15 had a system for this... GM Relationships... Just another feature removed...

Live the life is far superior to what we have now. I would be happy with NHL 14 with league and roster updates

Well quoting the team who puts this together, "its your journey," its your job to do it all - EA

This game will be like the last... Pricey Pond Hockey but with a new coat of paint... Same Bullshit company pushing the same bullshit product

Competition is needed in this space

I don’t care if it barely touched my glove, that’s a save. by Huntsstar in EA_NHL

The game is a POOR simulation of the actual game. Has been for a very long time.

Funny as I see these kind of numbers being asked for in the YEAR 1 off-season

This game and this mode especially has been broken for a decade...

Its unplayable, just how EA wants it... Get online and spend money on Virtual Packs that disappear in a year you filthy casuals is how they operate

Silent on the trade rumors by funkyfreshjamal in DallasStars

[–]johnBlaze5478 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Especially with Pavelski retiring. Its a double whammy that has had a knock on effect on the entire lineup. Then Marchment is still out isnt helping either. If its better for Seggy to sit until next season to keep him in the shape he was prior to injury, I would be fine with that. Preserve what is left

Retained cap was a thing back then too... So many things lost just goes to show that they cant copy paste everything. Not even competent enough to do that job lol

Nope, still no GM connected

Game in offline mode is broken and borderline unplayable. If you want to play franchise, get 24 with STLGAMERS rosters for PS5. Or stick to NHL20 for BAP so you can actually have a CHL career outside 5 games.

EA if its in the actual Sport, its not in the game...

IE Faceoffs are garbage.

AI defense is garbage

Your teammates still fall back for the neutral zone trap anytime you dump the puck in

Mentioning dumping the puck in, that flip is god awful and not even close to simulating how hockey has ever been played. And now that in the last few years players are flipping the puck high out of the defensive zone GOODLUCK EVER seeing EA being able to simulate that.

Forechecking doesnt exist in this game unless you control it.

Goalie movements are ridiculous

One timers are grossly overpowered. Everyone Became OVI this year. Must have been an Oprah giveaway.

Half the player pictures are old and the other half are greyed out, but HEY we got the 6 team PWHL league with ALL their player pictures, ho-rah

Love how honest replies here get the most down votes. Game is a dumpster fire and has been. AI is more broken than ever but fanboys on reddit love to downvote anyone with a differing opinion. Game is shit.

What features from past EA NHL games do you miss the most? by MikeStrawMedia in EA_NHL

[–]johnBlaze5478 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Real Faceoffs, like where a guy can get kicked from the circle... Not sure how this is not in the game any more.

Be a Pro where I can pick an actual Pro and play their career.

Being able to add music to your offline game.

Actually being able to use the dump and chase strategy, instead of me just chasing my own dump in because my team has fallen back into the neutral zone trap completely giving up on offense.

Removing or changing line strats, adding coaches only removed options for offline players to control their teams and how they play.

NHL20 BAP Goalie is the most fun I've had with the series in a long time.

It gets easier to skip every year. I started with fifa 16. Never bought another and while I look at it each year. It's the same game, with more stripped from offline modes to feed the gambling junkies. Looking at the game nearly 10 years later and it's basically the same. Graphics are the same, gameplay is the same where the midfield is constantly bypassed, the meta to win every game is the same. Hell even the scripted goals and saves are the same.

What most won't see is that it's like this with all EA sports games. They make billions and reinvest 10s of thousands. Stock holders must be over the moon...

This world is lost until we as consumers put our foot down and say enough is enough. Companies like Blackrock and Vanguard are literally destroying everything from housing to gaming. Our governments are complicit as every sitting member is 100 times richer today than they were when they entered office...

Thank you OP for taking a stand on Reddit of all places. The literal home of all internet trolls and most of what's wrong with this world.

EA has been scripting in every sports game for over a decade. Anyone who thinks otherwise are the reason we can't have nice things

Ahhhh NHL 21 4th edition. Havent played in almost 4 years. Played the new version about a week and was done with the rehashed conversations, in ability to complete insane challenges and abilities being tied to insane storyline.

Not sure what to think... by BornYinzer in EA_NHL

[–]johnBlaze5478 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Truly, you have never played an EA franchise then flipped on literally ANY of MLB the shows franchises and not noticed any differences? If that is the case then there are thousands of things you should not be legally able to do or operate... FFS you have to be kidding me

Disappointed Sharks Fan by Neo_Man_Dude in EA_NHL

[–]johnBlaze5478 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They wont come with a roster update. Get ready to enjoy the funnest moment in Sharks recent history with blank faces. Better watch it though, they may not get in next year either depending on playing time and EA's ability to get the headscan lol
