Why no helmetless CAP option or Vintage goalie masks?
For years now, several of us have posted to this Forum politely asking for the ability to create players without helmets (in order to create Alumni Legends like Orr and Esposito, etc. that aren't in the game) and goalies with vintage masks (that used to be in EA's NHL game). You simply can't have Jacques Plante or Gerry Cheevers wearing modern day masks. It's not part of the motto of "EA Sports - It's in the game." We've been told over the years that the developers won't reveal what is in the works. We've also been told that these things MAY be in the next patch. Only to be disappointed time and time again. Here's some history: https://forums.ea.com/en/nhl/discussion/261573/a-return-of-the-helmetless-created-players https://answers.ea.com/t5/NHL-22/Create-Helmetless-players/td-p/10860598/page/2 https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion-News/Create-a-helmetless-player-amp-goalie-with-a-vintage-mask/m-p/13056930/highlight/true#M4141 I couldn't even get a response to my last post re: NHL24. If you cannot for some legitimate reason include these things, PLEASE just tell us. It's far more frustrating to maintain false hope versus just dealing with the reality of the situation (that you can't or won't give us these things). At this point, I'm more optimistic that a different company will produce a NHL game that gives the customers what they've asked for over all of these past years. That's not a very happy statement to say the least. I passed (no pun intended) on NHL 23 and am passing on NHL 24. I'm back to playing NHL2K8 with the current rosters. Incidentally, that game has checking into the players boxes, hat trick hats being thrown on the ice, and breaking glass with slapshots. Something NHL24 was boasting as being included. Ummm, 2K Sports had that 16 years ago. Not cool like the NHL games should be. Speaking on behalf of everyone who has ever posted a comment re: this topic, please just give us a definitive answer. Thank you.
Nhl 24
yes i haven't been on the forums in 3 years last game i played was nhl 21 and got sick of it after '5 seasons' just wondering how much of an improvement is nhl 24 IE: storyline and player interactions and also is it true they got rid of the NHL 94 CONTROLS...joystick moves players and buttons do passing shooting stuff like that
NHL 25 Be a Pro - wishlist
Well.. I can safely say, along with the entire be a pro community, we are sick and tired of playing the exact same story year after year. We would greatly appreciate if there was ANYTHING meaningful added to Be a Pro but in the recent years EA has actually REMOVED beloved features like being able to go back and play in juniors or even the AHL. What was the point of removing that?? To strip the game mode down?? To make it so boring that we are forced to choose an alternative mode?? Like HUT? And spend money to be competitive? Along with adding back the gift of being able to play back in juniors or the AHL, it would be great to be able to play in Europe like some prospects in the NHL. Or playing in the Allstar game and skills competition would be very cool also. I would appreciate if the cutscenes were also replaced with more of a pop up message to save time. The salary perks and being able to buy things for stat upgrades I do like and I think the X factor system is great but I would like to be able to get all the X factors that exist in the game for my player. I would feel blessed and so very happy if this got even one reply from a dev or some type of confirmation that Be A Pro will be worked on at all for the upcoming game. WE ARE DESPERATE EA!!! Appreciate whoever acknowledges this!
An Open Letter Addressing EA and Developers Regarding NHL24
Dear EA and Developers, It's time for a candid conversation about NHL24 and the persistent issues surrounding its development and handling. Over the years, you have consistently let down the passionate NHL gaming community by prioritizing profits over delivering a polished gaming experience. The reliance on patches to fix fundamental issues is unacceptable and mirrors the troubling trend seen in cases like Cyberpunk 2077. Your toxic cycle of acquiring, overworking, and ultimately shutting down small studios not only harms the livelihoods of developers but also erodes trust within the gaming community. As technology continues to shape our lives and more individuals turn to video games, there's a unique opportunity to cultivate the sport of hockey and capture new audiences. Yet, NHL24 fails to capitalize on this potential. It's time to acknowledge that you are not the company capable of nurturing the growth of hockey through gaming. Your priorities lie elsewhere, and the NHL license you hold should be earned through genuine dedication to the sport, not mere financial gain. If you truly cared about the future of hockey gaming, you would listen to the voices of your players and fans. Instead of brushing aside legitimate concerns, it's time to take responsibility for your actions and commit to delivering a game that honors the sport and its community. In conclusion, the NHL gaming community deserves better. It's time to break free from the toxic cycle and prioritize the integrity and quality of NHL gaming experiences. Failure to do so will only further alienate your audience and hinder the growth of hockey in the gaming world. Good dayDuplicates
Third time this has happened. First it was a duplicate Reinhart in 4 Seasons. Then a duplicate Lemieux in Warp speed. Now its a duplicate Alfredsson in Corner Stones. This is ridiculous. Just how many cards and what ones are you putting out EA. To match 3 cards on 3 events. Super pi@@ed. And with this new format. Nowhere to get rid of the Lemieux or Reinhart cards. Just like all the other non tradeable junk. Nowhere to exchange. This game is becoming a joke more and more each year.
NHL25 Controls
Hi, I have played NHL since 2006. The skill stick was the best part of the game, and last year in NHL24 they completely ruined it by making puck protect holding left/right on the right stick. And on top of it, there was no way to change the setting. It was the first chel I haven’t played since I was 10. Simply because it removed the fun of skill from the game and dangling in a sense. Is this the same control in the new NHL25 game? Or will we be able to change the setting back to how the game has been for the past 10 years? asking for not only myself but many many of my friends who feel the same way. AD
Do I need to set up my franchise again?
I set up my team in the franchise mode, and then created a player and assigned him to the same team, but in that mode, it doesn't appear on the roster at all. I didn't figure that out yet in this one. Do I need to make it a free agent and sign him to the team that way?
