Re: IIHF license in NHL 24?

@darkryd3r I also wanted, that we have real life jerseys in Liiga, SHL, Hockey Allsvenskan and NL. In FIFA 23, there all teams have authentic jerseys. I don't know are you noticed, but all Adidas NHL jersey styles not be available in team creation. There is missing at the following jersey styles at team creation:
- Seattle Kraken
- Detroit Red Wings (home & away)
- Calgary Flames (current)
- San Jose Sharks (current)
- NY Rangers (home)
- Dallas Stars (home)
- All reverse retro jerseys
- Pittsburgh Penguins (home)

When we create teams in NHL 23, we have in use jerseys from Adidas and CCM. When we create teams in FIFA 23, we have in use jerseys from Adidas, Nike, Puma, New Balance , Hummel and Umbro. Would be nice, if we would have in use jerseys from Bauer, Jersey53, Nike and Warrior in team creation.

But one thing, what we need to NHL 24 or upcoming NHL games, is it that EA Sports return all removed skaters equipments and goalies equipments back to game. For example now we've in use two different goalie gear set from Bauer , but twenty different goalie gear set from Vaughn. When I create players to would be nice use real equipments. For example, if I create Tomas Vokoun to the game , I can't choose for him his real equipments to the game , because EA Sports has removed them.

    @Juhani_91_91 Would like to have all CHL team logos in creation zone for teams. By the way .... why can we not use CHL goalie masks in creation zone for goalies ? It doesn't work in FM.

    @Juhani_91_91Canadian hockey league I mean. The Champions hockey league masks we can use, the Canadian hockey league masks not. It is maybe why Canadian hockey league use other goalie mask styles ? But you can use them in BAP why not in franchise mode ? Don't think it is a licensing thing.

    @Froommey Yeah, this interesting case. I have struggled with this many times. If I create a goalie and choose for him some CHL team mask or generic CHL Bauer mask, it change automatically to generic mask. This same happened, if I edit player in IIHF tournament mode so, that I choose for goalei some CHL mask, it changed automatically to generic mask

     @Froommey  and @darkryd3r  Are you have notice to this problem with goalie sticks? I mean, that Bauer or Warrior text not show right, if handedness is right. I mean, that Bauer and Warrior text should appear on the front of stick, also if handedness is right

    This problem appears with the following goalie sticks

    • Bauer Supreme Mach
    • Bauer Vapor Hyperlite
    • Warrior Heritage Swagger
    • Warrior Ritual M1
    • Warriot Ritual CR1
    • Warriot Swagger Pro
    • Warrior Ritual M2

    @Juhani_91_91Yes noticed about the goalie sticks. You only notice it when you work a lot with player creation in rosters as I do. First work what I do every year is to recreate the EA roster player. Beards ( would like to do faces, haircuts, eyebrows too but not allowed ) skates, sticks, gloves and of course the wrong helmets. Nobody in the Canadian hockey league plays with the Bauer hyperlite helmet. In all other leagues this helmet is worn very, very less. It is a huge work every year to change this. I don't know why they use this helmet as standard helmet. Maybe a Bauer contract ? cause the standard player using general the Bauer equipment. Years before I noticed that the standard was CCM.

    @Juhani_91_91Believe me, I tried my best, telling them to change many, sometimes simple things over many years now. Did'nt change anything. All reports in Twitter or here got ignored.

    @Froommey Sadly say, but this show very well how much EA Sports care offline players and creation zone. If these problems would be in online game modes like HUT or EASHL, EA Sports fix it soon. But when they are in offline mode or creation zone , they not react nothing

    @Froommey and @darkryd3r
    I made an interesting observation.

    EA Sports added National League A to NHL10 and the next year they added WHL, OHL and QMJHL to NHL 11. EA Sports added ECHL to NHL 17 and the next year they added HockeyAllsvenskan, EBEL (current ICE Hockey League), Spengler Cup and CHL to NHL 18. This year will be six years since, when EA Sports has added new leagues to the game. Same six years interval is also between NHL 11 and NHL 18.

    Could this portend a new league in the game?

    @Juhani_91_91 Unfortunately I think no. Since years they do very less for offline modes. From my opinion the Slovakian or NCAA league would be the next. The KHL I doubt. The NCAA and KHL they could add with fantasy names, players so it would be no licensing problem.

    @Froommey Slovak Extraliga would nice see at game in the future. In this world situation I don't see any possibility, that EA Sports will add KHL to the game. NCAA would be awesome add to game. I want see Mestis in the game. Mestis would be good add to the game, there plays interesting teams. Also Swiss League would be good add to game, like also DEL 2.

    @Froommey By the way, I saw in YouTube that they will present today the HUT news. So last chance before release to present news for offline modes is next friday. So we will see next friday if and what they work for offline gamers. I don't think that the offline gamers are a minority.

    @Froommey With how they have always done stuff I'm going with no. The HUT trailer was always the last right before launch to get them hyped for it.

    And from the very 1st interview that is how I took it. I believe they are working on an Online Franchise mode that of course would also have Offline Franchise getting upgraded too down the road and yes that would include your presentation you all have been asking for. So it might be one of those things that has to take time to cook before it's ready.

    @KlariskraysNHL Then we can look forward to seeing what the team presents to us over the next few years. Of course it takes time to develop new things. The appreciation for offline modes in recent years has been very low. However, if there really are no new changes this year, many players from the offline community will leave the game for this year. I think the team has now realized this too.
