Why NHL 14 Isn't a Next-Gen Title (And Why It Shouldn't Be)

[hf199]

A point I have been making for a while is that every game in the NHL Franchise feels like the previous NHL game with a big patch to fix a few core problems and maybe a feature or too. It doesn't feel like a new game every year. However with HUT's micro transactions coming in over the last few years wouldn't the game be generating more money thus increasing the games budget every year and thus giving us the meagre fan a better game. I don't understand with extra money coming in how the same amount of improvements are occurring. I understand Rome wasn't built in a day and a game like this will never be perfect but I will like to see basic improvements like no Always goals in the game, better presentation and much better gm AI.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o></o>

So true! Very few improvements over time. A bit of tinkering with skating and hitting for like 5 years or longer now! Still same commentary same presentation and same penalty calls (what calls?). I mean when are they seriously going to do something and stop milking this cow. Madden, FIFA, NCAA (finally) have come around but NHL still hovers and no major improvements to the game. It's boring with no satisfaction after the first week of playing the new release.
