@Froommey Possibility create own mask designs would be awesome, but it already helps a lot, if EA Sport updated mask designs. You are right , most part of masks are old. For example in Liiga HPK, HIFK and TPS has changed logo, but EA Sports not have update these teams mask. Another thing what would be super awesome , is it , that we could use IIHF rosters in team creation. Would be nice create own women teams or mixed teams. Now mixed teams are possible only in Hockey Ultimate Team. And it wouldn't be either bad add to the game, if we could upload own logos to the game , like in 2KNBA . In addition would be nice , that we could create player, which are under 170 cm (5'7") tall. This would help, when we create female players, because big part of female players are under 170 cm tall.

Press +XP if you want, that EA Sports should fix those problems and add more old equipments.for skaters and goalies.This show well, why EA Sports need fix minimum height in NHL23. When you create players in FIFA23, you can choose height in between 160 cm / 5’3” – 200 cm / 6’7” and weight between 44,9 kg (≈45 kg) / 99 lbs – 114,7 kg / 253 lbs. When you create players in NHL23, you can choose height in between 170 cm / 5’7” – 206 cm / 6’9” and weight in between 58,4 kg / 129 lbs – 131,4 kg / 289 lbs. This show that in FIFA 23, we can create realistic size female players, when minimum height in FIFA23 is 160 cm / 5’3”. But in NHL 23 we can’t create realistic size female players because, minimum height in NHL23 is 170 cm / 5’7” and most of female players are under 170 cm / 5’7”. Good new minimum height could be 150 cm / 4’11” or 145 cm / 4’9” .Here list which show why we need update for this thing:Here is also another big problem in NHL 23This bug has been around since NHL 14. Bug is that, Bauer or Warrior text not show correctly if, goalie handedness is ”right”. Bauer or Warrior text should be show front side like, if goalie handedness is ”left”Why EA Sports not fix this bug?This bug is detectable if, you create or edit goalie and whose handedness ” right” and you choose one of the following goalie sticks for it.Bauer Supreme Mach (NHL23 -)Bauer Vapor Hyperlite (NHL22-)Bauer Vapor 1X (NHL17 - 22)Bauer Vapor 2X Pro (NHL19 - NHL22)Bauer Supreme 2S Pro (NHL18 – NHL20)Bauer Supreme 1S (NHL18)Bauer Supreme 3S Pro (This equipment has never been in the game)Warrior Heritage Swagger (NHL15-)Warrior Ritual CR1 (NHL18 -)Warrior Ritual M1 (NHL 19 -)Warrior Swagger Pro (NHL15 -)Those equipments need get back.Bauer Supreme 3S Pro, goalie stick (This equipment has never been in the game)Warrior Swagger, goalie stickBauer Supreme Ultrasonic, skates (Many player use yet these skates)Bauer Vapor 1X Lite, glovesBauer Vapor 2X Pro, skatesBauer Supreme 1S, glovesand lots of other old gears for skaters - and goalies

@kyl_35 And that is not the only one vintage logo, what not found at game. Here is small list of vintage logos, which should be in the gameEA Sports, we want the following things to creation zone- Possibility create players which are under 170 cm (5'7") tall- Possibility create helmetless player- Possibility choose cage colour in College helmet or Hybrid shield.- Possibility use female players in team creation, we want createmixed teams, it's not be right that only HUT players get enjoy mixed teams.- Possiblity use numbers in team nameWe want see concrete ones action from you, with this mater

@Juhani_91_91 Why there's always 2 Bauer goalie set. It's incredible how inconsistent they are with goalie gears.

@kyl_35 Yes 😀 EA Sports has added also, new skater equipments, what is not in my post. EA Sports next step could be, that they will add True L87 and True 20.1 goalie gears , after that we have almost all the most importants goalie gears in game. But updated locatio list would be great. @MV75 did very good list of locations which not are now in game.

But in team creation is lot of things, which have not change

Same 89 jersey styles like in NHL 22
EA Sports hasn’t added new cities to locations list
We still not have possibility use female players in team creation
We still not have possibility use numbers in team name

Same arenas have been in the game ever since, when EA Sports added team creation to game in NHL 17

1 Buffalo
2 Calgary
3 Dallas
4 Detroit (old)
5 Edmonton (old)
6 Pittsburgh
7 St. Louis

Any clue why there isn’t branding on the nhl pants? Never understood why it’s added for the junior teams or ahl but isn’t added to the nhl teams. Heck they even put the Nike check for team Canada in the game…
