Thankfully I'm having a blast with Madden 19 rebuilding the Cardinals. I just can't bring myself to play NHL 19 for more than a game or two a week, if that. Too many other good games like Tomb Raider, RDR 2, Hitman 2, etc.. to spend my free time with.
NHL just feels like been there, done that. They have a lot of work in front of them for NHL 20. I'm definitely in the wait and see camp next year.
