Re: Wayne Gretzky can't wear no 99 in Playoff Mode because of retired numbers

Well, this sucks.

Didn’t realize that we might not be able to turn off retired numbers in playoff mode.


I had planned on making multiple playoff Alumni rosters for various years. Now I may not.

Ive had this idea in my head for years, and have been suggesting it to EA for just as long, but the logistics of it may not be possible. Basically you pick the year, and the team, and see if you can win it all.

All the teams would have the actual playoff roster for each specific year, and would include accurate jerseys and actual arenas from that year.

  • Yeah it's really annoying. I've been telling EA about this for years but to no avail. The option is there for season and franchise mode, so why not playoff mode?
