NHL 15 Fan Survey Lists Modes EA is Considering for NHL 16

Re: NHL 15 Fan Survey Lists Modes EA is Considering for NHL 16

The AI is such trash in this game, goalies are simply the same robot in different color jerseys, maybe you should focus on key aspects like that instead of trying to figure out what lame game modes your casual fan base wants to play.

Of course, none of this will happen because EA refuses to pay attention to detail when they can just cash in on casual fans.

Don't worry, you won't even be thinking of the AI whenever you see how realistic their on-ice physics are for their Zamboni's.

I realize now that blaming Rammer was out of place. He's just stuck trying to keep his job working for a company that has so completely lost touch with their fan base. EA can't seem to see past sales figures and play time. I've got a feeling EA is going to all but guarantee NHL14 was the last game i bought in the series, and NHL12 was the last one that i truly enjoyed played. Hats off, EA. You're terrible.

EA has their priorities straight... What a joke. Zamboni Racing? 3 on 3 big head mode? These are purely gimmicks. Have fun isolating your fanbase EA

It's always fun to me when a company leaves a GM mode stale or buggy as can be, and will then come out and say how that mode is the least played. Well if they devoted time to make it a mode worth playing or didn't completely ignore it maybe more people would play it.

EA claims how BeAGM is the least played mode, and what you typed is one of the reasons why it's the least played mode. There is nothing immersive or fun about it so people don't want to play it. Then when you couple that with the very stale offline gameplay (I know some of you do enjoy it) it makes things that much worse. Seriously thinking about it, I don't remember the last NHL game where they actually improved something from that game mode. EA won't admit that though so instead they will just say people don't care about it so there's no point in upgrading it. It just seems they never weigh all of the factors. They always have some sort of workaround response to make things seem like their efforts don't affect the why people play certain game modes more than others.

Well said.. they need to play NBA 2k to see what a GM mode is like. I don't even follow pro basketball, but 2k knows how to make an immersive GM mode.

I don't care what modes are in NHL 16 as long as BeaGM is back and enhanced. So much more needs to be done to immerse us into BeaGM.

For the love of god.....FOCUS ON NHL HOCKEY!!!! (THAT'S THE NAME OF THE FLIPPING GAME)

Exhibition
Season
Franchise
If you want to add an international mode...... fine, that would be great.....even coach mode would be fine

Give those modes with online and offline capability and people will be happy!!!

If we want to race zambonis we can buy one of the countless driving game.....AGAIN, FOCUS ON FLIPPING HOCKEY!!!!

Allow us to edit players........just take a look at MLB The Show and the way those devs work with the community and focus on the sport and the realism.....your focus should be on nothing other than improving the on ice product and realism.....STOP WITH THE GIMMICKS

Allow us to edit players, equipment, etc.

JUST FOCUS ON HOCKEY!!!!!!!!

It's so simple......why do they make it so difficult.....90% of your customer base buys the game to play hockey and do things like franchises

STANDING OVATION TO THESE STATEMENTS!!!!!

I just hope that EA is paying attention to these points.

Well, it looks like EA has listened to all the negative criticism/ comments this year...NOT!!!! I can't wait for Rammer to say that Zamboni races was the most requested feature.

What is wrong with these guys?

Do what? Lawnmower races?

[HenryClay1844]

If they had licensed international teams and proper create a team features I'd be interested. But I am not holding my breath. They should also bring in about 5 sets of commentators because what I saw this year and the last time I had NHL was awful. Those intros about it being an "interesting sport" were as bad as Karos and Lyons in the Show.

[clarkerots]

Well, looks like I'll be getting a few more years out of my NHL13.

It's funny how EA is getting ripped for asking for the fans feedback. Yes, some of the items seem dumb, but at least they are asking before implementing! Also, they selected a committee of fans to help with EASHL. We should be applauding them right now for making an effort.

Applaud them? How about they take the feedback that has already been given and quite loudly I might add. Bring back the missing game modes, fix the ones they left in and work on the AI. Why spend time on foolish gimmicks when the core of the game is a mess?

I will not applaud them until we see results.

If you're talking survey, they did do it. So far I have seen surveys in my inbox for NHL, Madden, and UFC. I can't remember if the FIFA one has been sent out yet. For some reason I feel like I remember seeing but I'm not totally sure.

Because we cannot trust them! They said they take a year off on PS4 to give an excellent NHL 15 and it's one of the worst edtions of the game.

Look at the Twitter account and they ONLY talk about HUT. Not the #1 mode but the ONLY mode.

Nobody talked about 3 VS 3 big head or Zamboni mode.... having those suggestions in a Survey in already too much.

A lot of people complained about bouncing pucks or missing modes, but we never received answer....

So, it's good to ask feedback.... but they have to read and listen to them...

Excellent post.

The reason why they ask feedback is because they already have in mind what they will put in the next game. By putting Zamboni and Big Heads in NHL 16 they can now declare (rather fool those naive, fanboys) that they listened to their consumers and their consumers resounding voted for these two.
