NHL 14 - Dynamic Rating Updates

[Steve_OS]

EA Sports has posted this NHL 14 blog introducing Dynamic Rating Updates which bases in-game rating updates to real-world NHL performances. You will be able to see player hot or cold streaks in the starting lineup, edit lines, team rosters and player info screens.

Quote:

If an NHL player has performed exceptionally well over a stretch of games, they may receive a temporary boost to their ratings. But if a player’s performance has been lackluster, you may see their ratings change negatively. Hot and Cold streaks will be initiated based on Points and Goals Scored for Forwards and Defensemen, while Goalies will be measured on Save Percentage.

So this is only for play now and online modes? Not in BaGM? I'm no longer interested.

Dynamic Ratings Updates will occur as and when made available. Online Connection Required.

I have no use for this feature. Was this another one of those "number one requested features from the community". Lol ...

Yes it has team management right before you advance to the game.

It'd be a completely different code to get it to function for Be a GM but I'd reckon that it'd be easy to implement for NHL 15 into Be a GM.

Obviously with it requiring an online connection, they can only directly change/affect the default rosters.

I feel like this is a small as hell addition and shouldn't be a selling point by any means.

Keep the lack of meaningful updates to the game coming EA..

Streaks will be based on points. I think this team has no idea about hockey. Now if Marian Gaborik doesn't score he will skate like Hal Gill. We all know that when a player doesn't score goals, he doesn't skate the same. It's also just based on points. Even for Defensemen. It basically makes defensive defensemen even more useless in this game. Honestly, if it weren't for the introduction of EASHL and 2k messing up so bad with other years, this game wouldn't be around. The team just doesn't understand hockey.

I would imagine this would be in BAGM mode too. Why would it just be in the single play modes?
