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...

Yes. This is exactly what I was hoping to do.
This would be my set up, but using all 32 NHL teams.
2 - conferences Campbell and Wales
4 - divisions Smythe, Norris, Adams, and Patrick
8 - teams per division.
I will take the Adams Division for example as this is a division where I would 'move' a couple of teams to -
Montreal
Boston
Buffalo
Ottawa
Quebec Avalanche
'Hartford Hurricanes
Hamilton Blue Jackets or Predators
(The above is all dependent on whether I can alter the city's name or not).
Nashville or Columbus.
@Blackhawksfan75 I could be wrong… but I am pretty sure the only way to do that is create custom teams/rosters and then use that for your career… I am pretty sure that’s the only way to do it
I believe in previous NHL games that was the only way to bring in new teams. The downside with that method was either you ended up with duplicate rosters on two different teams, picked the scrap heap players from the free agent pool, or create a whole bunch of new players which was very time consuming.
I mean, if you are going to include a mode where the player can (basically) create their own NHL league; why not have the ability to change a team's name or (at the very least) their city?
It is probably wishful thinking, but maybe EA did include that ability, they just didn't mention it in the video due to time constraints.
