So, let me get this straight...

Basically all we have to look forward to in NHL 23 is some slight presentation upgrades, desperation animations that only occur every once in a blue moon, custom leagues (which is probably never going to be used at all by most of us), and some X factor upgrades?

Thats it? That cannot be all, can it?

Looks like another year of me not playing NHL. Lame AF.

Still waiting for at least some news about any franchise tuning at all.

Doesn't even look like the game's UI has changed.

I may despise the series, but I try to keep abreast of the situation as much as I can. I still keep a few streamers on my Twitch stream list who also happen to be EA Gamechangers (who are also NOT named Nasher), and the situation seems bleak for them as well, not gonna lie.

From what I can gather, NHL 23 is simply not the year and they are waiting for NHL 24 to truly bring about some much needed changes to the game's core. If not, well this series can officially be labeled "dead" according to them.

I'm holding out hope that one day, 2K comes back into the fold, even with a very basic NHL game. At the very least the PC market is ripe for such a game and they'd make a killing in that area (IMO).

I've given up on all EA titles. They have gone so so so far away from simulation-style play that they're just not for me anymore.

I feel like there were a bunch of people obsessed with this for years, but yeah, it's not really doing anything for me.

Honestly, at this point this is how I feel about all sports games. For years they were virtually the only reason I had consoles and now I just don't want to play... any of them?

So.....This proves you know nothing about the gaming industry

Lets recap.

1. Moving to a new console - This is a MAJOR issue for most gaming companies to do. The coding is completely different on PS5 then on PS4 its not just plug and play like a PC. That alone should be enough but I will continue. You need the education!!

2. Game Engine Upgrade - Read # 1 again

now HANG with me - IF you play this game LIKE REAL HOCKEY AND not as a DEKE fest NHL 22 is GREAT with the correct sliders. Is it perfect..hell NO its a video game but its still GREAT!

So many of you guys just bash every little detail.. News flash NOONE cares you don't have to announce your disgust. Im just so over it!!
