Seems like you are the one living under a rock. I guess you don't remember the community events or even bother to read any interviews. Go back to the EA forums with your other friends and continue to act like a super entitled 16 year old girl.

Dude do you work for EA??? Seriously. You just joined here and seem to have no clue what you're talking about. Your quoting other games with somewhat inaccurate information.

It is almost crimminal what is going on here let's charge for a full game when it is an incomplete product. EA simply stunning. Bull-*#!#*!

I could deal with missing modes if the gameplay was revolutionary/ different. It plays like nhl 14. so where is this new base? Does this mean the game will play just like this in nhl18 with all modes back in?

Nah. Long time lurker who is trying to bridge unrealistic expectations. What inaccurate information are you talking about?

Most of the outrage would have been quelled if they released the game for $29.99 or $39.99. Most of us would have still bought it on day 1 and accepted that it was basically a very beautiful but limited game and happily waited for the content updates to make it at least somewhat playable. Some of us even would have paid for DLC like a full featured GM Mode. EAC messed up monumentally with this in two ways, charging full price for half a game and complete breakdown in communication.

I emailed Amazon and asked them to consider assuming some responsibility for promoting and selling an incomplete and unfinished product for FULL PRICE. Maybe when retailers start standing up for consumers, Manufacturers would present better products before trying to sell them.

I understand your frustration but it's not the responsibility of Amazon, GS, Best Buy or any other retailer. If any of those stores removed products everytime customers complained they would all be out of business. The responsibility is entirely EA and the consumer. EA to not charge full price for an incomplete game and the consumer not to purchase it.

I live in Thailand where none of these stores exist and you have to buy the game imported from Hong Kong with import tax. Usually new games cost between $65 and as much as $85 depending on the title. American sports games are usually sold at cost otherwise they won't sell here. Needless to say I won't spending that much on this game. I'll wait till I'm back in the US and it's in the $20 bin at GS.
