I'm not buying a game that they're promisng to "patch" in the future. Especially since they haven't said anything about what will be included in these so called patches.

It takes them two months to update the rosters, why should I expect them to patch any significant content in a timely fashion?

So my rant about the game got dismissed and made fun of.

Now everyone is starting to take off the blinders and see what a disaster this game is.

EA sucks.

Sources say that even the loading screen has been changed due to 'time constraints'.

That's fine and completely understandable, but for me I'm not technically 'buying' the game. So for me it's justifiable.

Anyone with early access know?

You had no way of knowing the game was going to suck. Of course it got dismissed.

That all these game modes were removed was common knowledge for some time.

Didn't want to break the streak of buying every game since 99 but this release has been nothing short of a disaster.

Of course they made sure Hut would still be there since that makes them tons of $.

I don't know, but it almost feels like DESTINY that nhl is so bad this year

[codynw]

Not that it matters since I'm not getting the game, but how are the faces? How many Flames players are recognizable?

[Esoteric]

What a shame that the game is so gutted.

I will still be getting the game for PS4. 95% of my time in NHL is spent playing offline or online 1 v 1 versus.

I dabble a bit in Be A GM but only really care about playing games, and trading (since I never really play it for more than a season, I generally just trade all my draft picks). Still, drafting removed? That's absolutely insane.

I hate the Be a Pro mode in NHL games - only ever played it for about 10 games each year, and just end up being bored. It's always been miles behind RTTS or the NBA 2K mode.

While it would be nice to have the extra features available, I'll still be able to get my money's worth out of this game.

I was expecting NHL to have some features removed (considering not even FIFA had all the old-gen game modes), but didn't expect it to be this bad.

[dino7c]

gonna cancel my pre-order...thanks EA access!

[StrykerSteve]

Lol oh my @ that list of removed features. Hot damn, why anyone would buy this as a full priced release is beyond me.

[Igottago]

Really disappointing, you get all excited for a new generation, then the game you ancticpate most is released as a glorified demo. All the criticism they are getting for this game is well deserved, really there's no excuse for this. They should be charging $40 for this game.

No draft just bottles my mind. How the heck to they exclude that?

[SuperMatt18]

I am not a coding expert but you would think a lot of that coding would just carry over.

I get some of the more technical gameplay stuff for EASHL not working, but things like siming to your next shift and being able to have a draft seem like they should carry over should they not.

Not at launch at least.

[Esoteric]

There's also no 3-star selection after finishing a game.....

Seriously!?! That is beyond brutal! Maybe I will skip out until they announce (if anything) what they will be patching into the game. I am so disappointed in what has been cut out of this game.

I was hoping the stars would finallly get announced and skate out at the end of the game again. But that's cool, remove the stars of the game completely. Close enough.

On the bright side, I was wondering how I would find play time for Destiny and NHL. This makes it easy, though with a bitter taste.
