Screw the online stuff... Fix this game for OFFLINE players, and those who absorb their time into BAGM. This is what makes me mad... You can't tweak a game for morons, so fix it for those of us who play user vs. cpu and want to play multiple BAGM.
They killed last year's game with those stupid tuning updates - it was like the game would play completely different.
I've been reading comments on the hands-on NBA 2K12 game, and it appears this upcoming game will be phenomenal - they listened to the community and are willing to make major changes. I wish the NHL team cared as much for their fans - not the online cheesers. And then I come to this forum and read many here giving EA a free pass, and almost pat them on the back for all the mistakes. Look, the fact that we're STILL listening to the same old stale commentary after all these years is an embarrassment... But the "well, they've only got 10 months...blah, blah, blah stuff" gets under my skin. How hard it is to lock a couple guys in a room with a microphone and come up with NEW stuff???
The appeasement I'm reading in this thread is laughable... This is the SAME game we've been playing for a few years now, with a few tuning and patched tweaks, but according to a lot of what I read here that is totally acceptable... I don't agree with that...

I don't think it's necessarily giving EA a "free pass", but we have no idea what went on in the development. Maybe Gary Thorne or Bill Clement couldn't/didn't want to come to the studio for a week or two to record new audio. The point is we don't know.
Maybe they decided puck physics was a very important game play fix. I'm guessing not a lot of us know how long it takes to make a computer puck behave like a real life puck (and, in my opinion, it DOES behave like a real life puck, and it has enhanced game play a lot for me). Who knows, maybe it took 4 months to perfect that! I know I have no idea how long that would take. So maybe my ignorance in this area is why I don't have a knife to EA's neck like some do.
I am not giving them a free pass, I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt.
And just to avoid being labeled as a fanboy I will post a couple of my grievances:
Some things though, are testing my patience, like presentation. Presentation/commentary
needs to be changed next year.
And also, how hard is it to have one of the devs appease us hardcore gamers and come on to these forums and make some posts describing why some things haven't been fixed yet? That would be refreshing to see.
