If you're a parent looking to buy this game for your child, be warned as it has a 1.3 Audience Review Rating for a reason. It truly saddens me to see where Electronic Arts started, and what it's become. I truly feel for the sake of cost, headaches due to awful gameplay, plus bugs that EA has in the game where glitches occur and it's a battle to figure out your CPU as the delay in animation and controller buttons just make for an awful experience that won't be fixed any time soon until EA wipes out the entire NHL department and starts from scratch with people who have heart to put out a product where fans sit back and say that was fun. Today's product isn't fun. NHL '94, that was fun. 😺

I've had two reviews removed for whatever reason. There's Military Veterans I work with that I feel bad for because they put their heart into their heroic roles whereas EA doesn't have the same feel for passionate gamers who continue to play to be their favorite teams and who love to compete, and have not come out to admit this game should be refunded and just say "We're Sorry."

Rest In Peace EA. To a consumer, Buy this yet beware. I loved this game for the competition against others yet You're not competing against each other to understand the game of hockey. You're competing against each other to see who can expose EA's mechanics quicker. If I had a Daughter, I wouldn't purchase this game for her. The emotional and mental health issues that have been caused by the amount of Patches to update the game throughout the year of having it shows EA knew well that it wasn't a finished product yet still sold it to many hard-core gamers without a notice that possible updates would occur due to issues that linger in the game. I've been a EA fan since NHL 1994. The reason that game was so well loved is due to the unknown at that time that turned into a Classic. I enjoyed NHL 22 yet if you read enough and know the game through the last 5-10 years, it felt as if it's been a copy and paste product with added sugar to coat the bs that has been given to gamers by not making many changes to the glitch goals, Goalie malfunctions, etc. I didn't mind losing yet when the Ai doesn't match up with real world professional hockey iq, it's exhausting to put any energy into a product that should be called out by the BBB for scamming fans into believing it's something more when it's not. On top of all that, there's MAJOR issues with EA Servers, Controller Lag, Losing Connection to HUT/GWC games for no apparent reason. I've had it with EA and will no longer purchase an NHL game until changes of personnel. I work in Long-term Care Industry and Residents who are on the brink of death have more compassion for others than EA addressing the issues that plague the Online Play. Yet they'll continue to put out Public Relations publicity just so consumers "see" that they're a terrific company. By masking the scum that run the NHL asylum. #PrayforEA🙀🙌 Goodbye

This game lacks integrity.
