"I think this would be great if there were a vintage season mode. Otherwise, helmetless players don't really fit into the modern day NHL. We'll just have to wait and see if anything is announced about this. "
@EA_AljoThat's WHY we want to be able to create helmetless players, so we can recreate vintage seasons and historic rosters.
We will be able to do a 6 team franchise mode in NHL 23, that means we could create any original 6 season roster and play through a franchise mode. Awesome, but how much fun would it be if all the players has to wear helmets and the goalies in modern masks? Not so much IMO.
I definitely think it would be great if we supported vintage tams better. We'll have to see what happens. Thanks for all the feedback!
- hoserthehorrible4 years agoRising Novice@EA_Aljo Players without helmets are already provided by EA in some of the alumni players. Vintage goalie masks are also already provided in some of the alumni players.
I don't think anyone is asking for anything that isn't supported in the game already. We just want the ability to assign these options to our created players is all.
If they are already in the game then why not allow the users of the game to do the same thing?- EA_Aljo4 years ago

I definitely get that, but those are players in HUT, which is more of a fantasy league. You can have a player without a helmet in the EASHL as well, but again, that's not the real NHL. Franchise Mode represents the modern-day NHL. I'm just providing a little context on why this might not be an option. I'm not saying we shouldn't have this feature.

@EA_AljoBut this year we will be able to customize our franchise mode with anything from 6-48 teams, so doing a 6 team franchise mode for example is not the real modern day NHL either, but more of a fantasy league. I'm really glad that option is added, now I just hope we get the no helmet option as well so we can do original 6 or 70's season rosters for a custom franchise/season mode. That would be so awesome.
