After a 3 year hiatus of paying for EA NHL I caved hoping things got better… they have not.
EA continues to put a massive focus on cosmetics when real problems with gameplay and servers seem to be ignored.
As an EASHL/World of Chel fan, it’s hard to find a game with 4+ players on each side. When you finally do there is a 30% chance the game crashes before it even loads in.
The core game mechanics is generally good, but there’s too many instances of your player not reaching for a puck that’s right next to him, glitch goals, passes that don’t go where you’re actually aiming etc. and it feels like this stuff has been an issue for years. But yes, please give us more character faces, facial hair expressions and chrome colored gear. 200 faces is not enough to choose from.
Honestly I could deal with a bunch of the current problems if the servers were not complete garbage. Make the online game play well online, otherwise what are we doing here?
End rant I guess.
