I am looking forward to giving some impressions next week (purchased the standard release).

I am excited for this game and the new franchise improvements they made.

Looks terrible, plays terrible, another brutal release from this new regime with even more gimmicks.

Since 23, the goalies have been so painfully robotic and so obviously built for online competitive play where the tryhards want zero dynamic goals and all predetermined snore fest scoring that it quite literally makes the game unplayable for me.

It’s a non-starter to have to score certain ways because organic grade A shots that aren’t a “money pattern” from elite shooters without using an x-factor can’t beat goalies on first shots.

NHL 20 once again having better goalies, better AI, and better incidental contact than the current title. Absolutely zero reason to “upgrade” for 3rd straight year for me. What a shame, this used to be annual buy series and I can barely stomach a game anymore. Complete wrong direction they’re taking, I really don’t understand the vision.

Yeah, like skating, goalies, respecting the sport, having real strategies of the real sport in the game, sheesh yeah dude, just “complaining” you know? Minor things really.

I want to play a basketball game with “the loopty loop” offensive strategy while also only being able to score from specific areas in the court, oh and I want a really cool like canon sound effect when I shoot with a guy who has a shooting x-factor lol…

That’s what this game is. If that doesn’t deserve criticism, idk what does.

so you won't be purchasing the game this year? that's great news, good luck as you move on and embrace things that you like.

No, I won’t. I also find you crowning yourself as the arbiter of what’s worth complaining about (especially when the issues that exist are with core elements of the sport) rather funny.

Keep gatekeeping the forums, it’s a great look.
