Unless something drastic changes in be a pro, hut, or franchise, i think I’d rather save the $80 this year. Maybe I’ll wait for the Boxing Day sale to grab it
The huge issue is that there isn't much they can do in terms of changes. Console sports games are pretty much maxed out. They can improve gameplay physics every couple seasons but besides that, it's pretty limited in new features. Sports games are what they are at this point. The time to be innovative from year to year has come and gone, technology advances aren't as huge as they were in the late 90s and early 00s.
They usually do updates every 2 weeks during the regular season with major updates (ratings adjustments, updates to CHL/Europe) usually every 2 months.The crazy part about the NHL franchise is that they do roster updates like three times a year whereas NBA 2K does it daily. I'm not even asking for daily updates but there is no reason it isn't done at least weekly
NBA 2k?Looking like a big fat no so far. Their main feature is some fancy shot that they replicating from 3 players... They are so far behind Madden and NBA 2k series its beyond sad.
you can rent games still in detroit?On the fence. I may just rent it at first and then make a decision. I've done that in the past when I think EA has not made enough improvements.
Wait a second..you play all the AHL games too?.... guess will not make much diffrence. Same as the scouting system last year. First two years doesn’t need this scouting system and turned it off cause have very good knowledge about existing prospects, also created more than 200 hundred missing players. So it’s useless for me cause playing all 82 games NHL and AHL with 7min period including Play Offs and this takes me a lot of time. So much more than two seasons I do not play. A main pointbto buy would be Roster sharing, better options to create players, Face scan and pic upload from PC to account and missing player and a Goalie mask creator app. All these things as I know will not come. The 95% generic bot faces are a joke in this game. No other popular Sport game has this mess faces.
NBA 2k?
LMAO it got terrible ratings the last two years. The game is broken, they sold it it to me for 5 bucks and a free subway sandwich,
Simply because there aren't any other options I will buy this... However, based off the beta (which I understand didn't incorporate all the new features) is a complete let down and I'm not excited at all to make the purchase. Maybe I'll wait until Black Friday this year.
Also...STOP PLAYING HUT!
This is a terrible approach - "There's nothing else so I'll accept the mediocrity of EA and purchase the game". Ah, yes, that will help the cause in applying pressure for them to adapt and actually produce a legitimate product. And then you tell others to stop playing HUT (spending MTX money), but you're just as much of a problem as those players.
In your post, you literally state that you aren't satisfied with the product and not excited about it. So don't spend your money on it. Consumers need to realize that they have the power and it comes in the form of paper 2.61 inches wide and 6.14 inches long.
I don't disagree with your comment at all, my method is a bit ridiculous...However, there is absolutely no pressure being applied to EA. No competition = no pressure. Me spending or not spending $15 on it months after it releases isn't going to do anything either. I still think HUT is a huge problem, but until there is serious competition, we aren't going to see a massive improvement. When you are the sole source of hockey gaming, you get away with everything. If thousands of people boycott the purchase of the game, I'll join, but that isn't going happen.
Will buy when it goes on sale.
Wish EA still made Fight Night games.
