Franchise Mode Questions

VeronicatheCD
 

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 improvement in Franchise Mode and nothing else.


Are there going to be female players in the draft pool now?

Did you fix the ethnic issues in the draft pool (i.e. Chuck Walker being the name of French or Polish players being drafted, abnormal amount of white guys with Chinese last names and black guys with Russian last names, etc)?

[one answered question omitted]

Will custom teams be available in Be A Pro (presuming the last question's answer is the former)?

Have you created new logos that match the names you offer or names that match the logos you offer? Matching mascot body parts?

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)?

Are there multiple possibilities for how teams are handled for expansion, or will all teams have to be manually created with all players at the beginning [rephrased]


Will there be commentary specific for the first female player(s) entering the NHL?

Is this intended for a potential eras expansion next year? [NEW]

    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.

    @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.

    09 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?

    Could I also request a setting that goes back to the old rule from a couple years ago when a players helmet gets knocked off, they can still stay on the ice?

    Not a big fan of that rule change the NHL made but I understand the health concern.

    I'd just like to have the option in rules settings.

    We have the old icing and offsides available. Aswell as OT settings. Be nice to have this setting too.

    @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 ?
