Plenty of people have wish lists for NHL ’22, and they’d likely be very different from mine. After all, if you wanted to bring your favorite team online, would you be happy facing a loaded Lightning squad, and so on?Ĭounterpoints like these remind you that EA Sports and other developers face challenges. While the ideal is to truly capture the stardom of a Connor McDavid, it could also create grumbling. Granted, player ratings bring things back to be careful what you wish for. In general, the game tends to be a bit too forgiving to bottom-pairing defensemen. (Although at least you could choose which WR you wanted to pass to, albeit at your own risk if they’re outside of that vision cone.) The suction cup/magnetized inevitability is one of the most poorly instituted EA gameplay mechanics since the nightmare QB cones of vision from Madden days of yore. “Board play” has never really been good.OK, now for an airing of pettier grievances. The above list seems like a good start, though. You can get deep into the weeds talking about the smaller and biggers ways to make NHL ’22 and future titles more authentic.

More nuance in free agency? Basically, we need to recreate John Tavares and his Maple Leafs bedsheet.( How many teraflops does it take to capture the art of the dive?)

So maybe it wouldn’t be feasible to add Joel Quenneville, and thus delight fans by rendering his mustache with glorious HDR. Look, the truth is that NHL games don’t command the same budgets as a FIFA or Madden.

There have been cancellations, “Starship Troopers"-sized bugs, and cancellations following embarrassments over bugs. Maybe those review scores got to EA, as they tried to revamp their NBA games.

For years, the NBA Live series sold reasonably well, even though NBA2K titles were more critically acclaimed.
#NHL 94 REWIND PS5 CODE#
Realistically, it would be better for EA Sports to make incremental progress in those areas, rather than throwing out all of their code altogether (so to speak).īecause making a new NHL game, engine and all, from scratch? That’s easier said than done.ĮA Sports itself suffered through painful lessons with its NBA titles. Artificial intelligence remains lacking in crucial areas, especially with teammates in the offensive zone. Offense really is too dependent upon cross-seam passes and/or one-timers. Frankly, you don’t need to do much digging before you find complaints about gameplay in NHL ’21, and other recent editions.
