Franchise Mode - Fully unlock edit players

Posting this again since we have no information about it, which likely means we are STILL LOCKED OUT from editing players during a franchise.. and even then we can only edit very basic things…

Copy paste;

“I think this warrants it’s own thread topic.. we want the edit players function to be unlocked for us.. and not just the basics but everything unlocked please. It makes no sense why it was removed. It would allow us to fix the generated prospects because their attributes, position and play style are always so chaotic. 

you get a prospect that is a sniper.. centre, who’s 6’6, 235lbs, with high body checking, aggressiveness, def awareness, strength stats.. but low off awareness, skating, puck skills, face offs.. this clearly should be a grinder and winger but we can’t change it..


and for the players that are into super realism.. young NHL players grow.. some might still grow an inch.. but mostly, players get beefy.. they train. They go from 6’1 175lbs to 6’1 195lbs of muscle and we can’t edit their strength attributes, or their weight so it reflects properly

and let’s not forget that EA themselves also incorrectly lists players heights/weights.. and even positions. so let us fix it. 

It just  doesn’t make sense that the edit player was removed.. and never have got an answer from the EA letting us know why 

please unlock edit player and allow FULL customization at start of save file, mid season, 15 seasons in.. just fully unlock it “

    @heavydutyrammerWe would be able to fix the bug of prospects having cage helmets their entire career if EA would just unlock and allow us to access this vital feature….

    “Yeah, probably.”

    -EA after reading this and before going back to doing nothing about it

  • @kyl_35 The fact that they are caught up in damage control over their presentation scandal… I am 95% certain we won’t be seeing any QoL improvements for Franchise Mode or Be a Pro this year… nevermind seeing any actual bug fixes… lol big yikes from this company

    @heavydutyrammer so are we not even able to change player equipment this year? i still haven't bought 23 and probably won't at this rate
  • @johum2886 I can’t give you a 100% certain answer, but I doubt it. Honestly i strongly suggest not bothering with NHL 23… there’s so much removed, and so very little added… it’s not worth it

    @EA_Aljo  still waiting for a response to this topic, if it can be passed along to the devs, or for a reason why it was locked on us… along with the strategies too please..  the head coach reason doesn’t make sense since we still edit lines, X factors etc etc you know what I’m getting at

    just waiting for a response, been a while since I asked 

  • I’m also having this issue and I can’t believe they removed it. I played NHL 21 for one week and then deleted it off my PS4 because of not being able to edit players, as well as the crappy BAP change 

    what a waste
