EA's NHL series is consistently rated highly and consistently sells well. Do people not remember what happened to the 2K series at the beginning of last generation? There's a reason why they stopped making games. They couldn't invest enough money into it to make a good game and have it still turn a profit. So they cut back production values, and the games ended up being awful and then the line was officially canceled.

Your post neglects the entire business side of games industry, and has been reiterated numerous times by a number of equally ill-informed people who very simply don't understand game development.

Don't like the game, don't buy it. Face the reality that no other company is willing to do what EA does for hockey fans though. Why? Because the financials just don't add up.
Its true, although if 2K put the funds into an NHL game (which they wont) they would blow EA out of the water. 2K makes the best sports game year in and year out with NBA 2k. NBA live is an embarrassment to gaming...there is a reason its not in the vault they dont want anyone to see it

But EA is all we have for hockey and they do a decent job so either buy it or don't I guess. If 90% of flames players have generic faces on my next gen console though I may jump on the EA hating bandwagon and sell my copy the first week
