Other things, which need update to creation zone

• Possibility choose colour of face mask to college helemet and hybrid shield

• New minimum height for created player, now minimum height 170 cm (5’7”). Big part of female players are under 170 cm (5’7”) tall.  Forexample Lamoureux sisters Jocelyne and Monique, which played in team USA at many world championships and olympics are under 170 cm (5’7”) tall, Jocelyne and Monique Lamoureux are 168 cm (5’6”) tall. Another forexample is Japan team, in 2022 IIHFWomens Wordl Championships all Japan team player was under 170 cm (5’6”), shortest player was Remi Koyama 147 cm (4’10”) and the tallest players was 168 cm (5’6”). I can’t understand, why EA Sports not updated minimum height for created players, when they added female players to NHL 22. They probable knew that thing, that big part of players are under 170 cm (5’7”) tall.

• New hairstyles for female players. When you create female players, you can choose of 13 hair styles. When you create male player, you can choose hairstyle of 73 different hairstyle, but for female players is only 13 different hairstyles. For example ponytail hairstyle need add to game.

They have other hairstyles - we saw them in the preview - but they only appear in HUT on the players they were crafted for.  Rather than taking the short time to make them options they chose to pretty much go out of their way to keep them to HUT only.  It's like how you can play online without a helmet, but not offline; we are told it is unrealistic for us to use it when we can only possibly ruin the game for ourselves while online players can apparently ruin it for everyone else.

The minimum height thing is a great point - they really don't want to represent anything feminine in the game, despite the advertising.

Been asking for this stuff for years. I would love all the reverse logos and reverse jersey added to Customization.

Id also love to EA make custom logos such as A hornet like the Sarnia sting 

Pirate logo like the Raiders

Things like this 

For years now I've wanted more player editing and since last year I've wanted editing features back that were cut like player type/ position, new features that should of been in these games like editing faces and hair on game made characters.... players in franchise mode (excluding face scanned ones)  will go their ENTIRE NHL CAREER WITH THE SAME HAIR STYLE/ COLOUR, EACH DRAFT IS LITTERED WITH 18YO ELITE PROSPECTS WHO ARE STUCK WITH GREY HAIR.

It's editing hair.... you can literally see the option greyed out whenever editing players. This has never been a feature past character creation and it's one of the everlasting proofs of how much they actually care for these games.

I’m not surprise if, EA Sports has add new hairstyles only to Hockey Ultimate Team. Would be great if, EA Sports surprise us and added same face edit program to the game, what they use in player- and manager cretion in FIFA series. When you create manager in FIFA, you can morph nose, eyes, chin and etc… and lot of different hairstyles. This would help lot off in player creation.  What come to minimum height, what is now 170 cm (5’7”), it should be 145 cm (4’9”) or 150 cm (4’11”). In addition would be great that, we could use female players and other IIHF rosters in team creation. Hopefully EA Sports understand fix this minimum height problem.

@17ZxxzxxZ17 

I’m absolutly same mind with you. We should get all Reverse Retro- jerseys and logos to team creation. I think we not need more EA Sports added custom logos to creation zone. Would be better if EA Sports could added AHL logos to the game and more vintage logos. Better than this would be if we could upload own logos for the game, like we can do in 2KNBA games.

@SnizzBarDizz2oh 

You are right, would be nice if, we could use smaller arenas in team creation. Arenas what we now get to use in team creation, have been same since NHL 17. You mentioned about script options in jerseys, it’s great idea, would be nice that we could use text instead of the logo in jerseys. Even if it’s just the team or city name, it’s would be nice addition to the NHL 23.

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 23

• This 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 stick
• Bauer Supreme Ultrasonic, skates (Many player use yet these skates)
• Bauer Vapor 1X Lite, gloves
• Bauer Vapor 2X Pro, skates
• Bauer Supreme 1S, gloves
• and lots of other old gears for skaters - and goalies

The option to have letters on front of the jersey already exist in the game.

They just released a free jersey in HUT with letters on. "Bardown" I think it was. So clearly its not a big thing, but they choose to lock it out of the game for us players sadly.....

In first message, in this chain I tried to list all new skater- and goalie equipments , which EA Sports has added to the game. Now in here is all new equipments, which EA Sports has added up to this point
