Franchise Mode Questions
Reposting this now that we had the Game Modes "Deep Dive" trailer released, and @EA_Aljo said to reask if my questions weren't answered in that. It literally only went through one...

Community ManagerI'm trying to get answers, but most of these will probably need to wait for release. As far as this one goes -
Must new teams be integrated at the beginning of the league or will they be able to be added in progressively (expansions at 3, 6, 10, 12, 14, and 18 years for example)?
Unfortunately, teams are not expanded after the league starts.
- @EA_Aljo Hopefully they do that in future years. But I cannot fathom why it would have to wait until release to answer the other questions unless they were hoping to get some of this done in time for release - so now I'm hopeful.
Don't get your hopes up. They say stuff like this every year. Its not that they want to tempt you, its they don't want to answer anything that will make you not pay for the game.

Sadly, that was what I feared and expected, that the NEW BIG FEATURE is only a start the save settings menu. And after that everything is the same....
I`m not suprised, since when did EA implented something that was done fully and not halfdone (or trully tested by a real offline player).
The change in settings is good, but not fully what it could have been.
- @Bahamuta They definitely would have mentioned it if we could… but EA doesn’t care enough about Franchise Mode to update it more than the bare minimum that has become the norm these past few years….. a settings menu for number of teams and number of games is literally all we got lol….
- @EA_Aljo I remember asking last year… can you please ask the dev team why we were locked out of editing players? We had simple mid career editing available in NHL 20… can you please ask why it was locked in NHL 21&22? And why it is still locked in NHL 23? We never did get an official explanation why it was locked… and all we’ve had is speculation and assumptions… a proper explanation would be appreciated..
@EA_Aljo Can you confirm that franchise mode is still 25 seasons? Can you request at least a 50 season cap if it is still at 25?
@EA_Aljo Today looked at the Rosters in the CHL League ( WHL, OHL, QMJHL ). Over 99 percent of the Players in the Rosters have oficial Team Player image headshots. So it means your CHLRosters in NHL 23 should be only with very less black Silhouettes not like in past games. Can you confirm that ?
