NHL 23 Game Modes Trailer

They’ve gotta stop calling these things deep dives. I’d break my neck if I dove into a pool as shallow as the information shared.

@EA_AljoCan we User control every team in our Custom Leagues?

I'm trying to find this out for you.

@heavydutyrammer  As far as I know, there won't be an article, but if that changes, I'll relay it here.

Edit: There is a deep dive article here.

I appreciate the follow up, but the article is basically the video in written form. Doesn’t answer the question. 

I assume the answer is no, but on top of what hdr asked, can you add teams in mid-franchise? For example, can I play 3 seasons with 32 teams then add a  33rd team and have an expansion draft in the offseason?

@kyl_35Yeah the article is just a summary of the video… doesn’t have any other information…

So unless Aljo says otherwise, Be a Pro was NOT touched… Franchise Mode got custom leagues and NOTHING else…

I am pretty sure it’s safe to say that there won’t be a mid-franchise expansion option.. no ability to edit players… literally nothing except the custom leagues…

For what it’s worth, the custom leagues is a really cool add-in, and I greatly appreciate that this is likely EA gathering our feedback and trying to provide a solution. 

If we don’t have any of the things mentioned above, I think the issue is that none of them actually play franchise mode so they don’t have a clue about what is missing from any new features to make it fun. They’re trying to blindly navigate the requests and always fall just short of greatness. It’s frustrating… probably as much for EA as us. 

@EA_Aljo Do you know if the custom league options are available for season mode as well?

I get the feeling that this will be replacing seasons and tournament mode. This is based on nothing but my own impression. 

Hey, everyone. I'm very sorry for the lack of answers to all your questions. Unfortunately, I'm not an offline mode player so it takes some time to get answers and chances are good, I won't be able to get all your questions answered. What I can answer so far is this -

Every team cannot be controlled in custom leagues.

Players are not able to be fully customized in NHL 23.

Be A Pro will have the new strategies and X-Factors integrated into them.

I know this isn't the news many of you were hoping for and I hate to see the disappointment. I'll continue to relay your constructive feedback to the team.
