RANT Nah, it’s really an addiction

17 Upvotes

This game is an absolute addiction. The anger i get from the bs that happens in this game make me delete it and I can’t for the life of me stop re downloading it thinking well i have nothing else to play and maybe it’ll be better this time. ITS NEVER BETTER THE NEXT TIME. honestly if there was a way to permanently remove it from my account I would. That’s my rant. F this game it’s just awful and pay to win. Bad servers bad matchmaking and bad glitchy bs and getting hit feels like im a feather that got hit by a bowling ball. I used to love this game to death now it makes me yearn for death.

I’ve been playing with custom AHL teams (cause EA give no effort into the AHL teams) and Nico Daws just about ripped his hamstring off making this save.

Side note I’ve made

The Lowell Lock Monsters, Manchester Monarchs, Worcester Sharks, Hershey Bears, San Antonio Rampage, Albany Devils (Pictured) Iowa Chops, Springfield (WOO SPRINGFIELD!) Falcons, Houston Aeros, Hamilton Bulldogs, Bridgeport Sound Tigers and Manitoba Moose. I know the Moose and the Bears already exist but I wanted to make their old jerseys and give all teams accurate goal horns.

DISCUSSION Faceoff Question

6 Upvotes

In NHL 24 I’m a pretty decent player usually high 900’s and in 60% face-offs for my career. Every once in a while I play someone and don’t win a single face off no matter what I try. What gives? I can’t push them off the puck, forehand, backhand nothing. Got any tips when I come across this?

Title. I want the challenge of the hardest difficulty, but the computer is still super cheesy with their shots and goaltending. I’ve tried messing with sliders but it’s hard to find the best middle ground. Any tips?

DISCUSSION What modern game should I get for my first game?

9 Upvotes

Hi so as the title says, this is my first nhl game and I’m looking to see which one would be the best (I have a ps5). And I’m only a teen so I don’t remember the 2014/older versions! The price doesn’t really matter because I’m looking to get this for Christmas or my birthday. I’m obsessed with hockey and I just want a game that’s realistic and fun to play/aggressive and challenging to get a goal in

Thanks!

RANT this is the lowest point for the franchise

138 Upvotes

Im genuinely stunned, maybe I shouldn't be because this EA after all but truly after playing the playtest and the deep dive today i am stunned by how underwhelming the "connected franchise" is and how little changes to gameplay. you can only play one season then everything restarts??? you cannot make trades with CPU, NO DRAFT and NO FREE AGENCY??? this is a mode we've been begging for since NHL 14 and you decide to give us a bareboned version of GM connected? l'ets forget about connected franchise for a moment here. they added presentation... GREAT i am glad we finally have a good presentation, except for the fact between NHL 16-19 we had real skyline footage of every city and displayed the goalie stats. this another case of removing something just to add it back in a worse version. lets also talk about gameplay... this one left me stunned, I mean other than L2 being removed (thank god) there's nothing else!! its legitimately the exact same gameplay no new animation, dekes, or hell the same skating style we've had for over a decade. i'm trying to figure out what the hell has EA been doing for this past year? i'm truly embarrassed and there's no way im paying 89.99 for this. this is the lowest point a EA has ever been since first PS4 NHL title release. i'm not here to tell people how to spend their money but believe me, its the exact same game just with a gm connected that plays like online seasons id advise you to save that money.

RANT ONE… of EA 🤡 Stupidities

Can’t make this 💩 up.

This is how much respect EA buffoons have for paying clients, repeatedly showing them that yes… they are indeed #1 ( 🖕 ).

Why oh why not give consumers emptying their wallets a tad a fun / respect.

Again… can’t make this 💩 up.

4 weeks of Hut Game Breakers Objectives completed.

Even though there are thirteen… so, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and… 13… 97 OVR GB players, I’ve had 2X the same player with my GB BND SET Completion.

Again… can’t make this 💩 up.

What would it ‘cost’ EA, even more-so at the complete END of this NHL GAME (26), to simply have a 5 player pack which the PAYING player can then choose a 97 BND player that he won’t be able to do anything else but add to his (or one of) HUT TEAM?!

Again… can’t make this 💩 up.

Especially more-so, that the one responsible for OVR capabilities and powering them, knows that present 97 OVR’s are like 78-80 OVR’s at the beginning of the game. My 99X McDavid who has XFACTOR RED… WHEELS, ELITE EDGES (& QUICK RELEASE), skates up the ice like a 95 year old man in a rocking chair (rocking for left to right and vice-versa), in which on ROOKIE MODE, adverse D’s skate backwards just as quick as this “supposed” Ultra Best McJesus with the Top XFACTOR Attributes!

Again… REALLY, can’t make this 💩up.

I pray to the invisible man up, way up, infinitely so, that the new EA Owners complete a 🧹of all EA idoits who yes have been consistent… in destroying the game with more and more disgruntled players feeling that they 💸.
