I just hope EA didn't lose their CHL license. I haven't heard the "Life" including playing in Juniors

I never get turned off from the game as I love the sport and always look forward to the new release. I've been playing since the first one in 91 just called NHL Hockey. These gimmick modes never hold my interest at all. I guess because the modes back when I played in the 90's were more barebones that I don't need all the extra fluff. It just feels like they are running out of ideas. Here's where it all started for me.

Re: NHL 14 - Live the Life Details Arrive Tomorrow

I agree with you, and I never skip a year or "boycott" the game to "make a statement" but, what does put me off, is that EA claims to put effort into the game each year and that these new features will be revolutionary and amazing and they always end up being low effort, tacked on gimmicks. Meanwhile, the core gameplay gets SOME (much appreciated) tweaks and fixes each year, but numerous glaring issues go unaddressed with each iteration of the game.

It puts me off knowing that this "Live the Life" mode is something that EA supposedly focused their time, effort and resources into developing when it's totally lame and whatever they did put it into would have been better spent doing significantly more to improve that core game experience and leaving the existing BAP as is (not that it doesn't require massive improvement itself to be a worthwhile game mode, but this text based mini game is not the solution).

To top it all off, they claim to not be able to include more relevant equipment, player faces, detailed and realistic arenas, etc. because of memory limitations on the game disc, but then waste that apparently precious space with garbage fluff game modes like this, NHL 94 mode, the Winter Classic (maybe if it was included in BaGM it would make sense, but as a stand alone option?). Just improve the damn BaGM, have online versus and online EASHL, get rid of all the other crap that wastes disc space and make everything else super realistic and detailed with all of that freed up disc space and development resources.

Re: NHL 14 - Live the Life Details Arrive Tomorrow

you hit it on the head Moose. Like some of you here, ive been playing NHL video games since 91. It seems that this year, I will not be buying NHL video game. not because i dont like the game...its the effort that EA is putting in this game.

FULL of potential...but lack of effort.
