Re: NHL 24 BAP Wishlist & NHL 23 Review

Exactly. I find it more fun to be a later pick and have to fight my way to the NHL. This is why I played NHL 20 for so long. Sadly I don't see this mode ever getting better. It's gotten progressively worse since NHL 14. 

NHL 24 Wishlist (realistically)

• Please, PLEASE, add contract features: OMG I can't ask for this more! I'm a freaking 89 after my first year, I lead the league in goals, got the Calder and the Stanley Cup. I won the European League Cup, broke 3 records, and two years later, the only team interested in me besides Buffalo is Philadelphia and they are only offering me 4 million? Damn, in Framchise, that doesn't get you a third line check forward. Yes! I want a negotiation mini game sorta like the draft deadline game. Let me get offers, make counters, and decide where to go... Also as an RFA why doesn't my Team match it? Why can't I sign with Seattle for 6 years?
• Add a trade risk. Yes! But maybe add it as a coach challenge. Hey Brayden, the Vegas Golden Knights are I terested in you. We want to make the deal, but if you can score 15 points in 5 games, we'll keep you.
• Realistic trades. This needs to happen at the Trade Deadline as well. I'm the only talent on the team, but at the deadline, somehow we've managed to get 2 new first line players to skate with me, two awesome defenders, and a good goalie... What did we trade? Draft picks for 3 years and all of our AHL people.... Maybe a kidney?
• Make conversation system optional and or skippable. Add flavor to them, my character is a rebel so he just waves off the coach, even after a conversation that went: Hey, you're moving to the first line. Thanks coach, and I walk away looking disgusted.
• Grant stat boosters for draft position. Do it with X-Factors, I start with nothing, but I can get Spin-O-Rama pretty quick, however the 2nd and 3rd have Zone Abilities and 4 Superstar Abilities... Why would anyone pick me first? In Franchise, the first Roundtree is always 78+ with a full board of X-Factors... Yes, I want to earn some, but its not fair to ask me to complete against the co.puter with literally nothing.
• Bring back player development. Talk to FiFA, their training is awesome. You should do this too!
• Commentary. Okay, so this one is a bit harder, but can we get decent commentating? How many times per game do I need the woman to talk about every X-Factor. I counted, I literally heard about Make it Snappy 12 times in one game. Also, talking about the Sophomore Slump in year 1 is a bit oof, the same with making the Rookie a Captain... Also, Becky needs to stop calling in and reluctantly talking about taking me on her fantasy team...
• Building Rivalries. Can you add opposing Team interactions. I beat up Nurse three times in one game and injured him the second time I faced him. It would be cool to see him stride up to me before a game and talk to me. Maybe offer weird challenges, like "Let's see who gets more hits tonight"
• Brand/Management/Team Likeability. This is pointless after season 1. Getting to 10k points takes you up to the Trade Deadline, and then its pointless.
• Sponsors. We've got a Hockey Super Agent, but he got me 1 deal in 3 years for 300k... Maybe make a few pretend Brands, then when one sponsors me, I need to meet certain goals to keep them. Like Knie Shoe Company, wants me to score once every three games, or they'll yank my sponsorship, or Fightsr's Gym yanks their endorsement if I lose three fights in a year.

Sorry @johum2886 and @ccleme20 I supported most.of what.you said and just added a few other things. These could so easily be implemented and make the game 100% better.

100% agree with the contract thing! Why does everyone always offer around the same money for the same years. Ask me how long Id like a contract for and be able to negotiate money and term. You should also be able to see their roster and who you might be playing with if you do sign with that team. Maybe a signing bonus as well on the big contracts. Have players from other teams call you and ask you to join their team in free agency. Free Agency should be a big deal and if you're a superstar player it should be a very big deal around the league.

Be able to interact with your teammates in the locker room, where you can go up and talk to them and maybe a few of them have different challenges for you. Maybe the coach put something on the board for big games " $10,000 for whoever scores the game winning goal" Just something more then the same teammate coming up to you and asking if you want to see a museum or asking you to be one of the 3 stars of the game.
