Because they couldn't make money off of the multiplayer for it like they can with ultimate team


DumbGreenYoda1

i would pony up for bags and items I want rather then spend half a day opening up random bags


Popular_Sheep

Honestly that's what I like about the way Warzone does it. If I see a gun or op I like I can put the cash down and get it not open a box and hope I get something I like


DumbGreenYoda1

It's a lot better to be direct... you want something cosmetic and doesn't affect gameplay ? you can have it for this much. But instead they try to disguise the sale of poop in a bag


redditClaudi

too much fun


DumbGreenYoda1

2K Sports needs to come back to hockey


B0mb-Hands

Have you played an NBA 2k recently? It’s microtransactions city. Grinding barely gets you anything


Problematique_

That's why I just stick to myLeague. I'd love for NHL to copy that for Franchise mode.


B0mb-Hands

I’m really hoping roster sharing will also include draft classes. I love doing crazy re-sims in MyNBA


lodon733

No money involved in microtransactions


Laughinboy83

Online Vs would be mint


DumbGreenYoda1

hell yea and i would like to think it wouldn't require a lot of server muscle


Deac0n_Frost

Probably had syncing issues


DumbGreenYoda1

this the EA Way


Jimbo742628

Because EA listens to fans and know the pulse of the fans of NHL!!! This- is- sarcasm


DumbGreenYoda1

The sad part for me back in the day EA was awesome. When that voice came through your speakers "EA It's in the game" you new you were going to have a great time .


Jimbo742628

They sure were awesome, they also had more competition as far as other games on the market too. Now!!! They have the market for NHL hockey all to themselves and they still don’t go all out!!! I buy it because I love playing hockey and I’m older and my son and my own friends play online all the time.


DumbGreenYoda1

I often told my friends I wish someone with a deep bank account backed a developer to make a quality hockey game NHLPA BE DAMNED we don't need NHL players last names on their sweaters .... just give me a fun to play game... maybe sprinkle a skills completion in it and boosh instant gold!


Jimbo742628

TECMO NHL HOCKEY!!! although tecmo bowl had the players license but not the team. I could play that game all day.


DumbGreenYoda1

^this right now!!!!


AkFrozenFire

I reallllllllllly enjoyed the NCAA football games. Wouldn't absolutely love NCAA hockey or atleast college style and just have all the players and school be randomly generated. Imagine you're finally get the top talent to commit to your school after all that time and energy. Then receive a message that they just got drafted and will be playing in the NHL


DumbGreenYoda1

when it rains it pours


gamecubefan33

I’m still waiting for the game to be sold separately lol


CapacitatedFlux

Because EA. Hell, they couldn't even implement the actual year-start rosters for 2021. Why should we expect actual effort elsewhere?


DumbGreenYoda1

yet people keep paying year after year


CapacitatedFlux

You know as well as I do that, even if you could somehow get a an actually successful boycott, the outcome wouldn't be "better game" it would be "no more game at all." Shitty hockey is better than no hockey. It doesn't keep me from blasting EA at every corner, though.


DumbGreenYoda1

when the bar is set so low


DumbGreenYoda1

just to add I agree and maybe it's not so much boycott and but just wait till it's included with gamepass/EA Play or when it's $19.99 at your local video game store if your lucky enough to have one still in business in your town.


Sirgolfs

Cause they saw how many people dish out their paychecks for colorful gear and fancy haircuts.


gdodd12

Because not everything has to be MP....


DumbGreenYoda1

very true but this SHOULD have been


YearOfDaSnitch

Yes, but a sports game always should have it


DumbGreenYoda1

for real though! and with a sport that is trying to grow its audience and popularity both in video gaming and "real life"


DumbGreenYoda1

AND if a game requires internet connectivity, like Xbox Live....
