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!
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?

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.

That's a good point. You can certainly create your own league that doesn't reflect the current NHL, but it still takes place in the modern era of hockey. At any rate, I hope these features are added someday.
- hoserthehorrible4 years agoRising Novice@EA_Aljo Players in HUT? I can play a game using the Alumni no helmet players without going into HUT. I can also create a season/franchise using the Alumni no helmet players without going into HUT. I can also setup a playoff using the Alumni no helmet players without going into HUT.
I don't see how the existing no helmet alumni players that come with the game are tied to HUT at all. They can be used in all sorts of modes. - MV754 years agoRising Ace
Hey @EA_Aljo ! I do agree that the game is focusing on modern hockey as it should. But they could do both worlds. I just say NBA 2K23 is going to have not just one but three classic "ERAS" where you can start a franchise mode with.
And... 🙂
Depending on what era you start the logos, team rosters,floors uniforms are accurate to the era, original broadcast from that era,different commentary in the eras, authentic rules....
And you can still edit everything as you want, add expansion teams etc....
So its not about what is possible and what is not, 2K have proved that its about what kind of product the game company want to deliver to the costumers.
If EA would just open up fully edit all in franchise mode anytime in all their games, and actually make better creation options and not lock in som of the game modes, the game would actually by really good and everyone could make it fun for a hole year. 🙂

That’s been my dream for NHL for as long as franchise mode has existed!!!
