I think people are just fed up with spending $70 a year on something that hardly gets an upgrade. Personally speaking I only play NHL out of the EA games and I know every year hardly anything gets changed and it seems like more stuff gets broken.
Last year was the terrible puck bounce when you dumped the puck which basically ruined the gameplay. This year they basically gutted the game(they did improve the gameplay alot) although it is their first NHL game on PS4/Xbone so I will gave them a pass. 2013 I believe they added fighting and that was basically it.
I mean hell, the NHL series still suffers from a massive lack of penalites, which is a big part of the game in real life and it has been this way for YEARS and it is still not fixed. They always seem to add one feature, update the rosters and slap a $70 tag on it year after year. I only buy the NHL series on sale when I can find a good deal on it. I am a huge NHL fan but have come to realize that buying their NHL series every other year is the way to go.
