NHL 23 players feel that they have become misleading by EA - Community Managers in trouble under an angry feedback

Numerous players who have tested in advance NHL 23: A pre-tested that Electronic Arts, or EA, has created a misleading picture of the features of their latest ice hockey game in some places.

The accusations of misleading are subject to changes to the game's presentation, which EA advertises, for example, on its website as one of the few reforms of _NHL 23.

A presentation refers to almost all external content to perform during the match during sports games. The presentation includes, for example, narrative, audience and audience sounds, statistics graphics and music played.

EA says that it has added videos to be reflected on the ice before the start of the match to raise the mood. However, based on the players' experience, the reform applies only to 6 teams of the NHL's 32 teams, which EA does not mention in its slogans unequivocally.

In addition to adding a few teams to a few teams that last for about 10 seconds, the performance will not be shown for these teams in every match.

In addition to ice videos, players' nerves have been hit by the rear steps taken in other areas of the presentation.

The settings no longer have the ability to choose between a full or condensed presentation, but NHL 23 The only option for offline matches is a compacted presentation.

In practice, a compacted presentation means, among other things, that normal game breaks do not show any replacements and only one repetition is shown.

In recent days, the game's advertising and pruning presentation have become the most talked about topic on both the NHL game series Reddit and EA's own NHL discussion range.

Initially, many players seemed to assume that the deficiencies were only due to bug or the limited pre-test version. However, the EA Community Manager, an EA_Kent nickname, confirmed in the game series in its own discussion area that a forced condensed presentation is a deliberate feature of _NHL 23.

In their messages, people with frustrated feel are now wondering why developers have at times truncated a presentation in a game whose slogans are annoyed by improved presentation.

Players have demanded a lot of explanations for the advertising and the deleted setting they feel fusion. However, EA's community managers have only figuratively spreading their hands and found that they will inform more about it as soon as EA gives them something to inform.

So far, EA has not commented on the accusations and solutions, even though the buzz has been running for several days.

Community managers have also received their share of criticism and have had to reassure feelings in their messages written in their messages in the messaging area.

What exactly did EA promised?

Because many players feel that they have received the wrong picture of the game from EA and some even flashes the misleading advertising of a group action, it is appropriate to look at what the slogans really say.

Perhaps in the most visible location, _NHL 23 on the front page of the English-language website dedicated to, EA describes the videos reflected on the ice closely:

Videos for NHL teams and national team ice, for example, make you immersed in a moment even in offline.

EA opens a little more detail on the game's reform on its listing sub-page:

See the completely new ice projections at the beginning of the matches, authentic-on-ice videos on NHL teams in offline games, 11 customized start shows in Easel and offline games, and 11 new national singing performances in international matches.

In his article on the presentation of the presentation, EA says:

Post-game animations are not the only thing that will be updated this year, as there will also be a new pre-match experience. It includes videos and light sticks waving on ice players preparing to start. Videos on the ice are included in World of Chen, where you can customize them For your own team, or use as many NHL teams including Avalanche, Lightning, Maple Leafs, Canucks, Hurricanes and Flyers, authentic videos to be reflected on ice.

And a video dedicated to the presentation reform states this:

The start show needed a little maintenance. We knew we wanted to add a little more feeling. If you know what we call ice projections, those big animated graphics that are reflected on the ice during the initial show. We added them to the game this year. And not just For authentic teams, but also to World of Chen and Easel.

Include is an ambiguous word whose exact meaning varies from dictionary to another. Screenshot from NHL 23's own site.

In his first two promotional credits, EA generally speaks of NHL teams and does not in any way point out that the feature would only apply to a few teams in the series. Still, the sentences do not promise exactly that the reform would certainly cover all the teams in the series.

In the video, developers say they have added ice videos to authentic teams and immediately compare them to the teams created by the players. Authentic or genuine teams can be interpreted as meaning, for example, the right teams, or NHL teams, or teams with the videos to be reflected on the ice, that is, ice videos are authentic.

However, even the latter interpretation would not be enough to explain the development of the developers, as more than six teams are used in the NHL videos.

In a more detailed article, EA specifies that authentic videos to be reflected on the ice have many, that is, not all NHL teams. EA then uses the word including, including or containing or containing six teams, which, based on players' observations, are also the only teams that are affected by the reform.

The Grammar phobia site has extensively explored the importance of the include word in several of the most well-known English dictionaries. Some dictionaries strictly limit the word to connections that list only some parts belonging to a whole, while some dictionaries can also be used when listing all parts of a whole.

_NHL 23: The Finnish-language site, on the other hand, does not leave the interpretations. According to the site, [a player can] use one of the many authentic NHL ice refinements for teams such as Avalanche, Lightning, Maple Leafs, Canucks, Hurricanes and Flyers.

According to the players' experience, the promise of the Finnish site is not unequivocally correct.

EA will officially release _NHL 23 _NHL this Friday, October 14th. Most of the players who have revealed the game's shortcomings are users of the EA Play service with a monthly fee, who have previously accessed the product through a 10-hour preliminary experiment.

NHL series games and other sports games have been criticized for decades for being published every year in full-price new games, although there are often very few reforms.
