Early NHL 27 Franchise Mode Wish List
EA, please make some much needed changes in your Franchise Mode for 27. It’s one of the most neglected aspects of this franchise, and a **bleep** shame. Here’s a few things I think could be easily done in 27: Enable arena updates like when you go to create a team so you can at least change the scoreboard, center ice logo, and lighting/effects. Enable team rebranding (NOT relocation) where you can change the nickname, mascot, logo, uniforms, colors, etc, in Franchise Mode. This could easily be done as an offseason option similar to relocation option. With that, update the available options for team names (including matching announced names), logos, etc. Update the goalie mask options (including adding the real designs) and get more creative with them. Or at least allow customization like with the rest of the goalie gear. Get all REAL coaches in the game. It’s fine to have created ones of course. And I know there’s some real coaches in the game. But get all the current NHL and AHL coaches in the game so it’s more realistic (just as you have it in the Madden games). When setting up the franchise, put an option to allow us to increase the owners budget for spending. Improve the blog posting to be more realistic. Include non-transactional news on players, teams, and such like you’d see on a TSN or ESPN blog.My Early NHL 27 Create-A-Team Wish List
EA, please make some much needed changes in the create a team for 27. Here’s a few things I think could be easily done in 27: Please get some better logos to choose from. I think there were a few new ones this year. But so many terrible ones. With that, get the list of team names, Nicknames and announced names to match up to the logos so there’s a name for each logo that can be announced. Bring back ALL defunct team logos and add those team cities and names to the announced names.

NHL 22 Franchise Budget/Finance Issue/Requests
And franchise mode is still broken Great you fixed missing numbers but the budgets for custom franchises are still broken making the mode unplayable still after two months and two patches this is so far beyond unacceptable I don't even know what to say anymore and I called it yesterday too. "Yeah me too the custom jersey issue being fixed is a start but that was hardly the game breaking bug for franchise whether or not the budget/finances problems were addressed or not is the big question because if not then the mode is still unplayable And the custom skater issue was a must fix before roster sharing But when releasing bits of info before the patch notes to tell us the non game breaking issues have been addressed but still no word on the game breaking ones if makes me a little concerned for tomorrow more than I already was if you're gonna leak info pre patch notes at least give us something to be excited about and look forward to Cause as it stands now tomorrow I see custom players wearing custom jerseys in a custom franchise that I can't play because finances are broken that's not how you promote an update"
EA NHL 27 FRANCHISE MODE WISH LIST
FRANCHISE MODE These are simple things that would make us happy for a few years. Remove Alumni behind all old teams so we can use them in franchise mode without it looking bad. Fix the arenas and the fans so it looks better too. Let us change the height/weight and age of existing players Animated profile pictures of generated players, you get incredibly confused when you've been in the Franchise for a few years and can't recognize anyone, it's in BAP so why not in Franchise mode. And let us change YOUR generated players hairstyle and hair color, it’s just boring to get a dude with grey hair and beard. Goalie masks without other teams logo and name, CHEL got new cool masks every year, why not put them in Franchise mode too??? New logos, we're getting tired of hamburgers and pizzas now. It can't be that much work to make some cool ones, right?? Let us create ready-made AHL teams too so we don't have to change them every time we want to change NHL expansion teams. Fix deadline, incredibly frustrating to be sent to the beginning every time another team makes a trade when scrolling through the players in the trade block. Let us choose whether the player should be a leader/rat/locker room pest etc etc, when we edit or create players, Maybe even let us choose if our edit or created players will be a draft steal, for example a player who is 60-45 elite medium can go in the 4-6th round, or a 65-70 elite medium can go in the 2-4th round. or a franchise player goes as pick 3-7 in the first round, (saw that Maddox Schultz usually comes up as pick 3-4 even though he is franchise) Now all elites go in the first round no matter how you try to create them. Some cities are missing and what the commentators say for exempel ”Savannah” and ”Nordiques” 33 EXPANSION need to start a year later. When we start 33 expansion we got double draft, this year for exempel Matthew Schaefer so if Islander got draft pick one again they have two players drafted 2025 nr:1 . Let us fix our franchise the first year like find and hire coaches and scouts who match our team or our future plan, We can scout the expansion draft players. and if the 33 expansion start a year later we always gonna have diffrent players in the expansion draft
CHEL26 Be A Pro Feedback (Player Growth and X-Factors)
Alright so I gave Be A Pro a try after the update and I actually do like it more than I thought. It’s still nothing compared to NHL19 personally, as you could play two full seasons of Junior and then get drafted, play AHL, no form score, (essentially a sandbox), etc etc but I digress. Regardless, as for NHL26, while I do enjoy lighting up the league, I’ve got some issues and they are primarily tied to player growth and X-Factors. Alright so I go in with my normal build I use for most of my Be A Pros. A 5’7 Left-Shot Sniper who plays Centre. Now I knew I’d have a choice between Quick Release and One Tee, being someone who prefers scoring off the rush and someone who used Schnipe/Shock&Awe/MakeItSnappy from 22-25, naturally I went with Quick Release. Anyways my next objective was to get Wheels, which I did, and then went for Elite Quick Release. Alright, sounds good. My next course of action was Backhand Beauty, by far my favorite X-Factor and a key part of my playstyle as a left-shot Sniper. However despite looking through all the available X-Factors, it wasn’t even in the menu. I hear that different player types have different X-Factors available, yet why is this particular one excluded from a Sniper of all player types? I chose a Sniper partly because I like scoring on the backhand. Yet it’s not even selectable for a Sniper? You have 20+ of the around 28 X-Factors available, even ones you wouldn’t expect for a Sniper like Send It and Hipster, yet one of the primary shooting X-Factors isn’t even available to be used? That really frustrated me, especially when I went into a Grudge Match game and got to use Backhand Beauty for the duration of one game and it felt great, only to realize I can’t even unlock it normally. Alright, nothing I can do about that unless the game gets updated, alright. So I decided to go for Elite Wheels next instead. Only to find out that it is quite literally impossible to obtain Elite Wheels even with a 5’7 Sniper, all speed and acceleration traits unlocked, and all salary perks active, as well as peak health. Heck, you can’t even get All-Star Wheels unless you have literally every speed and acceleration trait unlocked with full health and perks, and you lose it after one game when you go from peak health to energetic. Normally to fix this, I’d turn my attention to the weekly off-ice training, except now that, the one thing that you could use to max out your skating stats, is completely gone. There is literally no way to get more than 90 Acceleration on a 5’7 Sniper, which means it’s impossible to get Elite Wheels and mostly impossible to keep All-Star Wheels. Okay, so what am I saying needs to be done? Well, first off, every X-Factor should be available to unlock regardless of player type. If I want a Sniper with Quick Release, Wheels, and Backhand Beauty, I should be allowed to work towards that. Secondly, there needs to be a way to actually upgrade your base acceleration and speed stats outside of traits. The temporary bonuses from peak health don’t last anymore than a single game, and the salary perks seem more like boosts than anything. Bring back the off-ice training, or let me grind out XP just by hustling during gameplay. The only way you can even increase speed through gameplay is via beating icing, something that is nearly impossible to do consistently. Third, make it so once you unlock an X-Factor, you can always apply it regardless of your stats. They are X-Factors for a reason, they’re supposed to give you an edge. I’m playing on Winnipeg, Kyle Connor has Elite Wheels but only 91 Speed and Acceleration, why do I need 93? Even if I somehow got 93 acceleration (which as I said, is literally impossible since off-ice training is gone), if it was because of peak health bonuses or late-career aging, I’d lose it. I ask kindly that this is updated in the near future. I should be able to work towards an elite version of every X-Factor, and some not even being selectable for certain player types even when it would make sense is absurd. Just let me have Elite Wheels and Backhand Beauty on my 5’7 Sniper. I’d be happy then. Let me grind out my player to 99 base skating stats. Thank You.

So i've been spending hours and hours improving my player until 99 rating in be a pro and now i've got a glitch where when I simulate to the next game, a conversation with the coach is triggered. The problem is that conversation has a bug where there isn't any dialogue options showing on the screen and making me stuck in that screen no matter what I do. I tried loading a saved backup from earlier, I tried uninstalling the game and reinstalling it and nothing works. the only solution I'd have is starting a new save from scratch and tbh this would be a big bummer given the number of hours I put in this game! im new to the forum so excuse me if this topic is misplaced im just desperately looking for help lol! Thanks in advance if anyone can help!! Here's a link to the video discribiing the issue : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tKe6kgxhWcR8n6jZMB4Zjbx2eEPDxsgt/view?usp=sharingCHEL suggestion for the future
The NHL World of CHEL allows players multiple player build slots. Perhaps allow teams to select multiple builds to use in each game and assign them to dedicated lines. This would allow a little bit of diversity, while still allowing players the option to use similar builds if they choose. But furthermore, would add a more immersive experience bringing more strategy into play in the game. Endurance would still be a major factor, which would require teams to make the line changes to maintain energy.This is STILL an issue in Franchise mode with NHL 26
I don't know why this still hasn't been fixed year after year, but the CPU teams in Franchise mode still won't make call-ups if there are injuries, until they are forced too (ran out of healthy scratches). For example, if a CPU team has 3 d-men as healthy scratches, and 2 forwards get hurt, they'll just put d-men in their spots, instead of calling up a forward. In my Franchise with Utah, the Devils had Simon Nemec playing 4th line center because of this. The way to fix it in the past was to make a minor trade with the team doing this (7th round pick for 7th round pick), and the CPU team would auto-adjust and call up the correct position player, but I feel like doing that too much screws up the trade system (CPU won't make trades). Update: Kurtis MacDermid got hurt so the Devils had no one left, so they finally called up two forwards to fill in (Brock McGinn and Angus Crookshank). Also one of their goalies got hurt, so they had to call up Daws, so that may have also triggered the CPU to make the correct call-ups.
