Sure but why blame ea? its literally free money on the back of people giving them money for virtual cards lmao. Blame ea not the consumer!! Listen Ive been playing the game for like 20 years and yes HUT ruined the game but the consumers buy it and make it viable for them to only concentrate on that.I do get a laugh how somebody still hypes up a cover athlete, it makes zero difference on the actual product.
Like usual EA will publish some half-assed effort and focus on HUT, because that's where the money is. Kids and whales buying packs. Why bother putting in an effort when the money will flow regardless, clearly EA doesn't and neither should the consumers.
Ultimate team killed sports games, it's been downhill ever since the idea was put into practise.
Sure a bunch of the blame is on the consumers who feed EA with endless microtransaction money. However, that doesn't get EA off the hook. They used to have some standards, but don't give a rats ass on the quality of their products anymore. They publish this garbage and should be called out for it.Sure but why blame ea? its literally free money on the back of people giving them money for virtual cards lmao. Blame ea not the consumer!!

Especially the younger generation of kids that play games , they have been raised thinking its normal to pay money in a game even after paying full price for it , whether that be dlc , packs , skins. They simply buy it and EA profits , id do the exact same thing in their shoes and simply farm free money on these kids parents , its literally so easy
I agree and understand but money talks man we live in a capitalistic society , almost every major sports company does this. Look up the money EA makes on FIFA , crazy stuffSure a bunch of the blame is on the consumers who feed EA with endless microtransaction money. However, that doesn't get EA off the hook.

The microtransaction money they get every year from ultimate team is in the billions. EA FC (formerly known as FIFA) especially is a juggernaut cash cow.I agree and understand but money talks man we live in a capitalistic society , almost every major sports company does this.

This is Hughes news!
To bad it won't be on the PC even though they put Madden out on it.
They're afraid people are just going to make mods for rose updates every off season which they think would stop them from buying more games.
Auston Matthews in the playoffs.other than Luke Hughes (thus far) who is the most unremarkable cover athlete to be featured on an nhl video game?
Must be the trio thing. Only being twins who won the Hart and Lindsay respectively certainly wasn't enough.Being part of a brothers trio is enough to be marketable in a way. If it was just him on the cover by himself then yeah he’d be the worst.
I actually thought Broduer in 14 was an odd choice considering he was well passed his prime.
Be a pro is my favorite mode but its is still trash. I haven't played for the last 3 years but remember getting points off my development for not winning faceoffs as a winger in a game that never had centers thrown out of the dotBe a pro hasn't been updated since 2014. All other sports games seem to have more focus on it but not the NHL games. Just Hut and Chel over and over and over.
was always irritating playing a defensive defenseman archetype and having a large amount of goals be my goal for the the week.Be a pro is my favorite mode but its is still trash.

Meanwhile I'm still trying to figure out how to get my old NHL '95 editor to work on a modern computer so I can update those rosters.
I had been fighting an itch to get a new console to play a few other games, but probably can't justify it. My PS4 was collecting dust before I lent it out and then the disc drive broke. I bought NHL '13 (Brodeur cover) when it was on clearance but never opened it. I haven't kept track but it seems like a few folks are expecting NHL '25 to only be on the latest and greatest.
