NHL 23 alumni teams

Does anyone know yet if alumni teams will return on NHL 23? If so, which alumni would you like to see added into the current pool of players?

    @SvenArne123 Definitely want to see more Alumni with their real faces. Way too many well know Alumni don't have their real looking faces

    @Atishksingh  Also I hope, that EA Sports would add new russian players to alumni teams. Would be nice see new russian alumni players like Sergei Fedorov, Nikolai Khabibulin, Pavel Bure, Vyacheslav Fetisov and Alexei Yashin in NHL 23, but in this world situation, is hard to belive, that EA Sports would add new russian or belarussian alumni players.

    @Juhani_91_91Those players aren't signed to the Alumni i think.
    Probably never able to actually get them but I created a picture perfect Sergei Fedorov and Pavel Bure with the create a player feature.

    I just wish that we didn't have a blank player profile pic for our created players too. Be nice to take a snap shot like in CHEL. Also be nice if the arena announcer said your created players name.

    Actually Pavel Datsyuk was Detroit Red Wings alumni team in NHL 20, but after that EA Sports remove him. You are right, that names like Dominik Hasek, Slava Fetisov, Sergei Fedorov and Henrik Zetterberg should be on Detroit Red Wings alumni team. Also is very strange, why Paul Kariya not be in Anaheim Ducks alumni team, he and Selänne are biggest names in history Anaheim.

    • Kimmo Timonen (FIN)
    • Éric Desjardins (CAN)
    • Sandis Ozolins (LAT)
    • Zdeno Chara (SVK)
    • Mikko Koivu (FIN)
    • Marian Gaborik (SVK)
    • Bobby Hull (CAN)
    • Guy Lafleur (CAN)
    • Paul Kariya (CAN)
    • Marco Sturm (GER)

    We do all we can to get as many alumni players as possible. However, we don't have the rights to use them all. Hopefully, we'll see more of these added in the future.

    I understand, that EA Sports don't have rights use to all players. But some of the players I listed, would nice to see in NHL 24. I have tell, that we need same face creator tool to NHL 24, what we get to use in FIFA 23. Would be great, if EA Sports could add back to the game all equipments, which have been remove. I understand, if EA Sports hasn't anymore rights use them equipments in game. But hopefully this could change.

    There definitely needs to be more attention paid to detail when it comes to alumni players. You have Carl Brewer’s face for Bob Baun. Baun never wore a helmet. Norm Ullman did not wear one either. How can there be an excellent representation of Howie Morenz who has been dead for 86 years, but Ullman, who is still alive, looks nothing like him?
