[@xXTheGrimPhoenixXx]

I've been playing the NHL games for as long as they've been making them, so probably not a big surprise to hear I'm a Canadian. Crazy seeing you guys playing some Chel. It's not as flawed as Madden, they've focused a ton on customization the past few years, but to be fair, it's always been pretty good. It has a lot of its own flaws that become apparent at high level competition, glitch goals would be comparable to plays in Madden that get abused due to them being meta. They often just do the bare minimum to call it more than a roster update. The HUT mode is just as predatory as MUT, with a few small changes this year to make it better for F2P, but they want you spending money. From what I understand, it's shift to frostbite went a lot smoother than the other franchises did. And don't let OJ play net if you want to have fun. He can be in perfect position and because he's a human goalie, it'll still go through him. Goaltending is far and away the hardest position in the game to play.

As someone who’s bought his fair share of NHL games over the years and only recently stopped buying them (NHL 19 being my last purchase) I think my overall analysis of the franchise is that the decline is definitely there but to what very little credit I can give EA is that unlike with Madden where they’ve stripped everything away at least with NHL they’ve more or less still kept the bare essentials, granted while still tearing out a lot more but it feels like there’s still areas of the game you can at least play and engage with

there's stoppages in hockey all the time. Sure, there's no huddle and snap, but lets not act like hockey is constant. You have the faceoffs, icing penalties, penalty box stoppages, timeouts, etc. Hockey has it's moments, but football definitely has way more opportunities to be exciting imo. I appreciate bobbing and weaving with the puck, and a good stretch and grab by a goalie. Other than that, the sport has never really grabbed me like basketball and football has. Hell, I think baseball is better in some regards and that game takes forever to watch. The sport is pretty basic when it comes to showcasing a given player's athleticism, which is where i think a sport's value shines.

I wrote a ridiculously detailed Analysis(about 25 pages) of the state of the NHL series back in 2014, that got tens of thousands of views and tremendous support on the forums. It received so much support that the community manager messaged me that they were trying to figure out a way to get me a plane ticket to EA Vancouver to meet the team (essentially what game changers became years later, I believe). A week went by and instead, my thread was deleted, I was perma banned from the forums, and somehow even banned from playing the actual game for 2 weeks. It took me about 5 years to buy another NHL game, which I had bought almost every year for my entire life since childhood; and its still an unbalanced mess. This series has gotten even further away from REWARDING skill/strategies and PUNISHING glitchers/exploiters. Its gameplay is a disgrace to arguably the most skilled sport on the planet. This development team should not receive any good credit for this franchise. The comparisons you are doing, allows for bare minimum effort still; simply because they have other franchises that are apparently worse in effort. EA really needs to receive some KARMA by now.

nhl is one of the rare sports games where its devs actually care about the game

[@MrFlamesFan12]

Disagree wholeheartedly.

@@MrFlamesFan12 it's mixed really like there is effort and love put into it for sure but it still isn't in level of the ps3 games yet. Like there's hope for nhl and even fifa to be truly great one day but madden? HOHO THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO HOPE LEFT IN ITS DNA.

[@mattnoce7558]

@@MrFlamesFan12 they care, they just have a fraction of the budget that Madden gets

Did they just become hockey fans. Just recently did myself and it's amazing.

Hockey in general is such an underrated sport that so many people just overlook and never give the time to experience. Kinda hard to watch when your teams bad or historically bad like my blackhawks but still sucha fun sport to watch. Especially when it gets to playoff time, no other sport comes close to how thrilling playoff hockey is.

2009-2015 Chicago was amazing to watch winning three cups.

[@ThreeThree6]

love hockey and love nhl 21 and 22 even though people hating on it. Glad to see you guys playing and hope to see you in some hockey jerseys soon. Go Canes!!!

There is one big difference between Madden and NHL games - NHL games took a few years break some time ago and the devs are actually very passionate about the sport. Madden? I think you know.
