What happened to this game?

I know the excuses will come, but this game is just.....really bad anymore. I love hockey and always have, but this game needs serious work. I adjust the sliders as best I can, try to play defense as best I can, but still, every friggin game is the same. In offline, myself vs computer/ ai, they will get 17 shot and score 7 goals or 20 shots and get 8 or 9 goals. No matter how I adjust, nothing helps. This game is making me legit hate ea nhl. Fix the **bleep** goaltending. Fix the hitting. Fix the line change issues. If not, sell the rights to someone that will care and make a good game again, because this is not it.

    Goaltending is a struggle for sure. I don't waste cap space on great goalies anymore. No matter how good your goalie is, they suck. I spend money on dmen and work hard to prevent shots, since I know the goalies will let every 3rd-4th shot in. 

    I should mention that I only play in Franchise mode. So I switch between players so that I can properly defend, I don't trust the AI, prefer to play all positions, except goalie, as I am terrible in net. 

  • Hitting definitely needs to be put back to what it was in previous years. This is the biggest issue with EA they remove or change stuff no one asks for and wonder why their game gets terrible reviews. They've literally destroyed this game.
