NHL 24 Franchise Wishlist

1. SCOUTING

A) Post-Season Scouting

After the regular season I spend the 2 1/2 months scouting every 1-3 bar Elite LOW and MED to full info.  I am bouncing from Assign Scout to View Draft Class and back.  It is very inefficient.

Add to Assign Scout screen:

1 Name of Scout being edited on the top of the screen.

2 Column for Potential that can be sorted.

3 Column for last Scout that scouted Player

This will make it easy to match the scout to the player.  This would be a huge time saver.

B) Scout Plan

Formulate this before season or edit during season.

a) Player Type

b) Strengths / Weaknesses

c) Skills

d) Character

e) Potential

A checklist for types of scouting and a checklist of players to scout.

If i go a, c, e I can scout 20 players (10 at a time) per scout. And after I can do clean-up assignments til the draft.  Would also allow to assign specific players to specific scouts.  This will prevent cross-scouting.  CSR rankings jumble the players' list and the top 10 is different than the next 10.

C) Scout Personalities

Affecting Scout ratings, Scout to Team Morale, Team to Scout Morale

a) Number of players scouted that are drafted

b) Development and Performance of those players.  Scout could think the Organization is terrible at handling the player, etc.

2. DRAFT

A) Watchlist Alert.  When a player on your watchlist is drafted there should be an alert and you should be able to see the draft scroll and click on it to see the player's info.

B) Drafted Threshold.  Select any Potential from LOW Bottom 6 to HIGH Franchise and get an alert list when those players get drafted.

C) Post Draft Summary

There is a list of Potentials and the number of players drafted at that potential league-wide and by our team.

Elite MED   5 (0)

Elite LOW 8 (0)

Top 6 F HIGH 0 (0)

Top 6 F MED 13 (0)

etc.

That list should be interactive and be able to see every player and click on each player's info

3.BETTER COACH RETIREMENTS SCREEN

Be able to click on the Coach's card when he retires.  Right now when my coach gets old I screen shot his Bio and Regular Season and Playoffs.

4. CONTRACT EXTENSIONS

Manually input Contract Extensions that are 2 years out should be recognized.  Tom Wilson, Sorokin, Aho afaik those contracts can'be edited but won't be recognized when starting a new franchise.

5 AHL Contracts

If you add AHL teams to Pro Team, you can put those players in the ECHL.

a Season ECHL)  Game loads up full ECHL rosters

b Season AHL) Game promotes all AHL and NHL rights players for full AHL rosters

c Franchise) Game promotes all AHL and NHL rights players

d Custom League might be a problem if both Wilkes-Barre and Wheeling are in it.  The promotions should then be based on roster requirements.

6 AHL Captains and Assistant Captains on AHL contracts should be given a spot in the lineup when using Preferred Lineups

7 Face-Off Formations

Please add for 5v5 and 4v4.  Would be great to also expand to include Offensive Zone and Defensive Zone

Once the glitches about the Face-Off guy on PP and PK in the Sim and Gameplay are fixed this is a great addition.

8. CUSTOM LEAGUE

In Franchise Hub it says METROPOLITAN for division standings and then METROPOLITAN DIVISION for the Scrolls.

This can't be duplicated in Custom League.  Let the name be the name and then you can add 'Conference' or 'Division' where you want.
