I have owned every NHL game ever made. Since 2015 the NHL series has removed all that was good and started to implement new and fresh ideas that really doesn't compare to the quality of years past. The BAP bugs are still present, completely unchanged and boring now that you get to hear the same crap in a new year. Franchise mode has a cool new customization feature but largely pretty vanilla and not any better than last year. I hate HUT and think it should be scrapped for GM Connected. I don't understand why EA can't do a 2-year game release with big updates throughout or a fairly inexpensive DLC to add new things. This would greatly improve the product and its playability. For the first time in 29 years, I may not buy an NHL game but wait for it to be sold on a used website for a fraction of the cost so EA doesn't get any of my money. Pure laziness and blatant robbery of our hard-earned money. I wish 2K would return to the NHL franchise. They always made the better games out of the two companies.
