@NHL_Muse Barkov being back will be huge.

@OneTCity Everyone hates NHL 15 because I was too good on LD.

[Custom Pillow @stackinpillows]

@Larcenistt Did they solve the 6v6 waiting 5 minutes to drop into a lobby, then just getting kicked out because everyone leaves? Online team play has been trash since NHL 16. They had it perfect in 2015. It was so easy to get into a game, choose your side, choose your position, then play.

I’m still playing nhl 21, and it’s probably the same exact game.

Thread: Why #NHL27 is shaping up to be one of the worst releases in franchise history

1. The big new feature, Connected Franchise (GM Connected), is incomplete.

They’re launching a full-priced game built around a mode that’s missing progression, aging, the draft, and more.
Start a rebuild and you’re stuck in rebuild forever. Your players have no potential or value. You can only trade overall for overall and replay the exact same season over and over.

EA’s response: “We’ll add the stuff you want in future years.”
So pay $89.99 now for an unfinished mode, then pay another $89.99 next year when they finally finish it. Classic.

2. Arena animations and player entries.

They basically brought back features that existed 10+ years ago and are selling them as new.
Having proper arena presentation in a sports game is the bare minimum. It shouldn’t be one of the main selling points, especially when it was already in the game in 2013 and they removed it for no reason.

3. HUT and World of Chel.

These modes barely change year to year (which is fine if they’re fun), but they’ve become more pay-to-win than ever.
They’re adding paid builds in WOC while refusing to bring back a fair progression system like FC or NHL 14 that actually helps new players.

In HUT they keep lowering the quality of free rewards and locking the best cards behind expensive packs.
“Here’s the new 99 Chaara… want him? Drop $80 on a pack with a 50% chance or eat glue.”

These modes should reward performance and time played, not how much money you’re willing to spend.

4. The game’s aesthetics.

If you’re not going to change much on the ice, at least put effort into the small details so the game feels different.
Menus, loading screens, mode interfaces, pack animations, customization menus… older NHL games changed these every year.

Now they just swap the font and background color.
The HUT pack opening animation hasn’t changed since NHL 19.
If you can’t even bother updating the thing that makes you the most money, it just proves you’re not willing to put in the effort to make the experience feel fresh.

5. You’re paying $100 for what is essentially an incomplete update.

Other games drop more meaningful content in free monthly patches than EA manages to put in a full-priced yearly release.
Why wait a whole year and drop nearly a hundred bucks for a copy-paste with a few features that should have just been free updates?

It’s ridiculous.

@NHL94Podcast Fun trivia, nhl 94 is the last game to show the referee retrieving the puck from the net after a team scores.

[Custom Pillow @stackinpillows]

@NHLRumourReport He’s said he wants to stay in Colorado, so I’m not sure where he’s coming up with this.

[Custom Pillow @stackinpillows]

My guess is he’ll go for something like $ 15x8

@citchmook Does Montreal have one of the top 3 players in the league we don’t know about?

[Custom Pillow @stackinpillows]

@AlecLace Yeah all I had were hyper jacked Batman action figures. How was I supposed to relate to that with my little 6 year old noodle arms?

[Custom Pillow @stackinpillows]

@Bcordsie7 I mean they obviously don’t care about the game. They’re just banking on hockey fans biting the bullet and buying the same game every year. Youre telling me they spent an entire year just adding goal songs and a half ass GM mode?

[Custom Pillow @stackinpillows]

The Avs just need to go ahead and bring back Drouin, Jost, and the Saadfather.

[Custom Pillow @stackinpillows]

I’d say his list of players he wouldn’t trade is:
1. Nathan mackinnon
2. Gabriel Landeskog
3. Cale Makar

Anyone else is fair game for the right deal. I’d add LOC to that list, at least for this year.

[Adrian Hernandez @AdoHernandez27]

I don’t think #Avs fans realize that Sakic is willing to move on from any player outside of the core.

I don’t think the dumping is done. #GoAvsGo

15 was my favorite. When they changed the online 6v6 to where you could only do drop-in matchmaking it completely ruined the game for me.

Sitting in matchmaking for 5 minutes then having everyone leave the lobby right before the game starts might be the worst possible way to structure online team play.

[Custom Pillow @stackinpillows]

@SirAngellCakes @ryanset094 Don’t give them any ideas. Next thing you know they’ll have an actual stick breaking mechanic that requires you to buy new sticks with micro transactions.

[Custom Pillow @stackinpillows]

@ryanset094 Promoting the new game with this as a “feature”, is straight up insulting to people who have been playing their games for years.
