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...

@heavydutyrammer Thats why i was hoping the length of the mode could adjust lol, its in a menu lol
@Bahamuta I hear you… when I first saw the teaser about being able to “customize teams” I thought they actually unlocked a bunch of customization options… including the ability to edit players…. But all they did was give us a league settings menu… I would hardly call that team customization… it isn’t that intense of an update… certainly not 80 dollars worth lol..
Last year was the first time I skipped buying an EA NHL game since the first one came out on the Sega Genesis back in 91. I wasn't planning on getting NHL 23, but the custom franchise mode has piqued my interest a bit. I would love to recreate the Smythe, Norris, Adams, and Patrick divisions. Will we have the ability to move teams? Colorado to Quebec and Carolina back to Hartford, for example?
- @Blackhawksfan75 You can already do that in the previous games. You would create them as custom teams and substitute them in - you can move them between divisions at league start with an expansion team at the least.
This new update doesn't let you do that anymore - only recreate the divisions.

Whatever alignment you have at the start of your franchise is the one you’re stuck with. You can move the team you’re controlling mid-franchise, but that’s it.
Right and I knew you could do that on previous games. I also understand that once a franchise is created you can't do anything afterwards.
My question was, can you just move a team to a different city during the initial setup of your own franchise without having to create a new team with customized rosters?
The video showed choices on conferences, divisions, games, and etc. It didn't show (or mention) if you could move teams around to different cities. So, I was just wondering if that was something we could do.
@heavydutyrammerIt should be a slap in the face for EA NHL when you see NHL games from stone age compared to today. Look how many real Player likenesses they had in past. Also the Cup cellys are looking better same as the Player moving in the game.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KzHeZ8VFqoY09 has better graphics than 22, which is funny because half of their selling point of the frostbite engine was the graphics upgrades.
Its also absolutely * deplorable that EA charges $89.99 for the game they're releasing nowadays.
I'm here for this statement @WildeBEAST32!
With all the tech we get in all the other EA Games bring the game into the next phase, EA Hockey focuses on online play. I get it, that's the major draw for the game, and that's because they don't bring their "A" game. I mean EA Hockey is pretty much a Low Bottom 6 F.
If they had a really good offline mode, they'd attract more players, but their focus is online gaming. Don't get me wrong, I love the online play, I just don't have time to dedicate to it anymore. I'll stick with NHL20, so I can fix the Franchise Mode Errors.... High Elite Center at 26, which a 68 in face offs, makes no sense... especially when they don't even have a second position... Also why do some Goalies show up as G/G.... They are a Goalie, but also a Goalie?
