Re: SCEA - Take notes from the EA NHL Team

its sad because i agree their franchise mode is great this year but i cannot play the CPU in NHL just the way they play its so repetitive and bland the way the CPU plays.

Re: SCEA - Take notes from the EA NHL Team

If we had half of these improvements since The Show came to PS4 I'd be impressed, EA did it in a year:

I know it's a larger dev team, etc. but everytime I see the SCEA team they are pushing some DD month or whatever it is that they do. I've been patient, but dear lord, if something isn't done about Franchise this cycle, I'm done.

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA..BWHAHAHAHA. EA NHL cannot hold SCEA's jock strap please.

Yeah, let me clarify - the gameplay in The Show is great, no issues there at all. Sure there could be some tweaks here and there, but for the most part the game plays great.

The Franchise however, hell at least try to implement some new items somewhat 100%. The last three years, what's been added?

Contract extensions with no real budget awareness
Morale which is skewed by the budget system.
Other than that, crickets.

Look they have a decent base with respect to options, I'm just saying the entire budgeting/FA/trade system needs attention. Expansion, etc. would be nice, but we need those basics ironed out first.

I would put roster expansion and a revamp of the progression/regression system as my person priority, but yeah that stuff too.

Man every sports game needs to copy NHL's progression/regression system, along with their in system scouting mechanics. The colour/stars system is second to none.

I can understand the frustrating part of it... But for me, the bulk of my playtime is in DD. So much so I've even foregone beginning a franchise yet simply because (for me) it's pace is slower and there aren't as many different play options like they've added to DD.

I'd probably be more apt to begin a franchise earlier in the year (I'll play one during the winter) if they had a deeper more immersive franchise. But as I've said, DD is the games bread and butter. There's nothing franchise could offer me that would match the thrill of putting together different lineups, with drastically different players, the events, and Battle Royale, as well as the programs, conquest, and obviously Ranked seasons. (It's killing me that I keep missing the championship series and world series...)

Before I give my opinion, how good is 2K's NBA Franchise? I have PS3 Madden 17 and that franchise is good. I found an issue as far back as MLB 14. Some players lost over 15 ratings points in a single season.

Re: SCEA - Take notes from the EA NHL Team

In 14 I had a reliever with an ERA below 2, but he was losing points every two weeks.

EA's alright I guess but what would be interesting is SDS taking notes from Rockstar. or Bethesda

Lol the NHL crew needed to be fired 7 or 8 years ago. That being said, the show peaked in 2010 with all the focus being out on diamond dynasty which I despise. Can't let us create a team outside of diamond dynasty.

I waited until it came down to $30 before I bought it. But had I gotten a PS Plus subscription months ago like I planned on doing I could have downloaded it for free this month.

Re: SCEA - Take notes from the EA NHL Team

One thing NHL does which the Show should replicate is they post all patches individually so if you liked gameplay in a previous patch better than the update you can load and play with that previous patch.


The Show should copy that.

Re: SCEA - Take notes from the EA NHL Team

In addition to editing CAPS, it would be a wonderful addition to be able to randomize CAP players in franchise. Every year I have to go into each team and edit out the ridiculous default faces and haircuts. Many players have goatees and that 80’s retro haircut. Takes hours sifting through everybody. Would be nice to just tap square until someone looks normal and move on with my life.
