I want a good NHL game
I actually stopped playing the nhl games because the controls got too complicated. Its not even realistic anymore its fake realism.

I was going to say, the monopoly of a specific sport really hasn't affected the quality of NBA 2K or The Show. Those two franchises actively look to get better and better every year. Don't think it's a coincidence that NHL and Madden are the ones that seem to get minimal improvements (if that) year after year. I guess FIFA has a better rep as an EA game, but still, 2K and The Show are in a league of their own.
Good point. Ea is lazy. They only improve fifa.
Most baseball games just pale in comparison to the Show. It's like half the reason I wanted a PS4.
Haven't played the NHL series in forever, but hasn't EA just mailed it in the past couple years? Maybe the costs of licencing and developing AAA sports titles are too cost prohibitive for most studios.
EA has been mailing it in for years. The last good game made was NHL 15 for PS3 and even that has its flaws. (Random lag, getting booted for no reason, can't hear certain players on your team, horrible player animations, ridiculously unrealistic physics).

About FIFA. Remember when EA was catering to the American gamers when they would have to add "Soccer" to the title? And a US player had to be on the cover along with the main cover athlete? I guess they've stopped doing that since Landon Donovan retired. This year was surprising whwn they only stuck with Marco Reus, a much lesser known player compared to Messi. I guess that just tells you that American soccer is now lacking star power.

Not happening.
EA puts pennies into their NHL games, and it shows with sales and their final product. I still buy them for EASHL with friends, but there's a lot of stupid **** that happens every game.
Finally found a thread for this. Are there even really any fun to play hockey games now? I didn't like the Old Time Hockey (or Bush Hockey League) even though I really liked the idea! Super Blood Hockey was fun, but didn't really feel that much of a hockey game. Now there's at least few indie hockey games coming out. Hopes are high on those:
I really hope some of these games score on this front. Of course the Wild Ice isn't really a hockey game but hockey themed and looks kinda good. I've totally lost every bit of respect for NHL. Also Franchice Hockey Managers have a lot to do to win me back. So I really need my weekly hockey dose!
