My favourite part is when they pine for 2K...who started the "release the same game with new rosters" (albeit they ended up discounting the price of those games) model. Everything from 2k5 to 2k10 is basically the exact same. They pine for early EA, which tried to do something new every year but the game was inconsistent year to year, making 2K the big dog until 2005-06ish. The features some talk about the old EA games having were basically current "facility upgrade" features with cool window dressing (ie. when you upgraded the gym you got a new picture and it showed up in a stat window vs. being text based with no visual indicators for change).

2k7-2k10 on PS2 and XBOX were basically the same game with updated rosters. PS3 and 360 received major upgrades every year. And the game on old gen was only 20 bucks.

Unless this is just something they made for the thumbnail and isn't actually in game, they fixed a little customization thing that I had on my wishlist I posted here lol

Finally a fishbowl on actual helmets, instead of that stupid generic helmet it makes you wear whenever you wear a fishbowl/cage. I get it's not that important of a thing but it's something that always annoyed me.
Also does this look like it's in a rink? or outdoors still? kinda hard to tell. I hope they finally have a damn rink I'm sick of playing in that same outdoor rink in Chel. Or maybe it could cycle through a few, indoor rink, outdoor day/outdoor night. Or better yet, something like how NBA 2K does where you can walk around and go to different places
 
Pretty sure the pressure meter is just eye candy. Playing exclusively BAP, I noticed that the longer I stayed in the zone, the worse the AI defended against my passes and cycles, and the more the goalie struggled to make a save. The hitting mechanism doesn’t seem that different either.

Nevertheless, I’ll give this one a shot, and hope I’m wrong.

How much do you want to bet that EA always had the ice tilt feature, and all they did was put an indicator on the ice and polish the system a little bit.

Agreed. The only difference is that ice firmly seemed to start after a center ice faceoff after I scored. Tic-tac-toe from center ice and in the back of my net.

Garbage post. Obviously a lot of the criticism is coming from people who love hockey video games and are frustrated.

Garbage reply. Obviously if you don't like the changes don't buy it

Why do people make it a point to say " haven't bought the game since...." Who cares?

Its almost as bad as people posting YouTube videos for songs. Like themsong somehow has to do with what was posted. Literally no one has ever played one ever..

Baldur's Gate has nothing to do with the Strawman argument.

The straw man argument is multiple people in this thread, when faced with the question "Why do people feel the need to announce that they aren't buying the game and haven't bought the game in years?" responding by saying "Oh, well I guess you need a thread where nobody criticizes the game and it's just positive vibes and an EA echo chamber."

Surely you can see how the response has nothing to do with the question?

Other people in this thread think that people that are tired of hearing the same handful come in and announce they aren't buying the game are somehow then "EA cheerleaders" "Sheep" or " working for EA."

Again, what does one have to do with the other? The responses aren't even connected to the question.

That, my friend, is a straw man. An argument that isn't being made is being "shot down."

If you don’t like criticism of the game, or people saying their not buying it, maybe find a non critical thread , and stop gatekeeping this one.

My selection email said I’d get playtesting directions in an email today, but I haven’t gotten anything. Anybody get the directions?

Yes. They should send you an email with the download code and a time for when it goes live.
 
Codes are going out starting today. Someone said they're going out in waves, and some people will get them after it officially starts on Monday.
 
Absolutely no changes to Be A Pro or Francise mode. Just pathetic. HUT really ruined this series. Pretty sad I play NHL 14 because it’s the last good Be A Pro, that was exactly a decade ago in the series. At least I’m having fun and saving my money I guess.

Also I didn’t get selected for the PlayTest but all my buddies did so that’s just another slap in the face from EANHL to me.

I will most likely end up buying it. I think I buy it out of tradition more than anything. It kind of coincides not only with the NHL season but also gaming season for me. 90-95% of my gaming takes place between October and March and this October NHL 24, the new Assassins Creed, and Forza Motorsport is coming out. Going to be a fun month for gaming and the NHL season starting. Not sure how long the fun with NHL 24 will last though, usually a few months of tweaking sliders and starting and restarting franchise mode over and over and over again. Fun times. I like to punish myself.

Just out of curiosity, for the people who are upset about no changes to franchise mode, what were you hoping for? I used to love franchise mode years ago, but I haven’t played it since 2014-2018 era. Stopped buying Chel because well.. it’s trash. (HUT killed offline modes and EASHL was getting worse every year) I did read the were lot of changes in the last couple years since I’ve played last, but I am wondering what’s missing that people would like to have added this year?

It’s been stagnant for years. Inability to edit players mid franchise to account for new contracts, regressive or progressive growth and physical size/height changes. Player and pick movement for trades would be good as well as customizable salary caps. I like franchise mode to be as realistic as possible and having the above lets you really customize what I’m looking for.
Deleting and or editing computer generated players would be awesome for guys who try to create a realistic draft. It’s frustrating when you go through the work of creating and editing players for a draft to see 4 computer generated guys ahead of Bedard.
The rest of the game can be adjusted fairly easily with sliders etc I find.
