Totally right on that.

You know why they kept using these phrases....because they think that their consumers aqre stupid and no knowledge of hockey....bunch of kids who are only after scoring so much goals in a game.

All I've seen from them is 1 step forward but 3 bstep backward.

This is the ultimate catch 22 for NHL fans. If we don't buy the game, then EA has grounds to make the NHL team even smaller and if we do buy the game we're telling them we'll buy a half baked product.

I have no clue what I'm going to do. I skipped last year's game when I went Next Gen and missed my Hockey fix. I think this is going to come down to the Demo for me. If the game players awesome then maybe Be A GM will give me enough bang for my buck.

I was planning on buying this game but the comments from the producer have me worried. I think I'll go with fifa instead. I can see NHL getting a price drop a few months after release and I will want to see what gets patched in. I'm not big into EASHL but I like having the option to play, it's definitely disapointing.

Don't buy it right away to send the message, just wait until they add OTP support as promised. Then go buy it at a reduced price saving you money while only half screwing EA. Message sent, hockey fix covered, win win.

I'm pretty angry about this, I mean I have been looking forward to this game since I got my ps4 in feb, and now tht they took away a lot of the modes I feel like it's not worth 60$. So I'm gonna preorder something else bc I don't want to waste money on a HALF-ASSED game

pre-order cancelled.... what a drag. didn't look that impressive from the videos anyway. Too many people on the ground during play. Big hits are not that common

also, what the guys said above. make them walk the walk and put in OTP before purchasing. This will be a $40 game by Xmas if sales are as down as I am expecting.
