Before microtransactions compaines would work on the actual game for next year's release. Now games get worse and worse every year. NHL 24 is a rolling lump of turd. NHL 20 was the last good one before this X factor nonsense. All they work on is more ways to get people to play HUT and buy things. I wish they would make microtransactions illegal cause the industry has gone to shit. Think about it..are you having as much fun as you did with NHL 20 or even earlier versions?
They have enabled companies to put out half finished games with bugs with a " Patch or DLC" coming later to fix it. They do bare minimum on single player game modes and out all their effort into modes that have microtransactions. I'll even go as far to say that they purposely make the singleplayer game modes as bad as they can to get players away from them
