The gameplay needs to get better, but one thing that EA Sports does do is give you different ways to play.
I would say they have more options to play then more critically acclaimed games like NBA 2K and MLB The Show. The issue comes with the gameplay.
Live The Life
Be A Pro
Be A GM
Hockey Ultimate Team
Vs.
Online VS.
Tournaments/Playoff
Gimmick Games (NHL 94, Outdoor Games)
NHL Moments Live
EASHL
GM Connected
I would also argue that hockey is the hardest game to get right from a gameplay perspective. It is the quickest game with the least structure (IMO).

I appreciate how you responded.
Again though, Live the Life, be a Pro, Be a Legend, all the same thing, but none of them work very well. Instead of having three different brands on one subpar gaming mode, why not put the effort into making a better gaming mode. A problem in one iteration of the game I can understand and won't fault too harshly depending on what it is, but to have the same problems in multiple releases, year after year? It's inexcusable in my opinion.
I don't know of many people, or read about them either, who play those modes because they are so crappy. It's a novelty that wears off quickly when you get sent to the minors with A+ positioning and 2 points per game average.
Instead of fixing what is a huge problem in that game mode, they gave us NHL 94 mode which limited gameplay...
