Many of you seem to be rather distraught, and I can understand that to an extent. However; the OS community is made of primarily of folks that focus more on the offline aspects of the game. EASHL is an online game mode. As a guy who posts mostly on the EA forums, I came to read the applications and there were really none that were comparable to that of Ooohways and UTPs when it came to looking for what I wanted to be on the committee. The majority of posts were focused on Be a GM, Gameplay, and presentation as a user outlined a few pages ago. That isn't what this committee is for. It is for EASHL activities, and from applications (which is the only thing that EA is reading that anyone posts these days) Those two were the best choice. From your perspectives, yes, it might be rough because you don't feel you have a representation on the committee. But as a whole, would you all consider yourself truly adequate to providing feedback about EASHL? Over on the EA Forums, probably closeto 50% of posts are EASHL related. That is the focus. Here, you all are probably lucky to get 10% related to EASHL. So it should come to no surprise that folks that applied stating they had ideas for the EASHL game mode were chosen. If you all want a better game, sending folks that don't have expertise in the proper game mode isn't going to improve the game, which is exactly the position that this community has. It's obviously a tough pill to swallow. But I can say that the folks from the EA Forums side of the committee share many of your ideas and frustrations with the game. Gameplay is the other 50% of posts on the EA Forums these days, and every person that was chosen from our side knows the faults that gameplay has. They will do all that they can to improve most of these issues. Rather than request a re-vote, or mod selection of OS members, request another committee that relates to things such as GM mode, Rosters, Likenesses, etc, as you all would be extremely qualified, moreso than any other community out there, to guide the series in the right direction for those modes.

Thanks for dropping by but no need to coddle everything was pretty clear if you took the time to read the application but its great EA NHL cares as NHL 15 laid a excellent foundation for many years to come if you build upon it
