NHL 24 ideas - Creation and Customization

Player Creator

There are a lot of great features with creating players for NHL. But I believe they can add more.

EA could let players be created with no helmets and have options to have scars or less teeth like in the old NHL games.

Arena Creator 

NHL does offer great options for arena creator but they should offer more.

Have elaborate arena options like a desert rink, or a rink on the moon.

This could intrigue gamers that don’t play NHL to buy. 

Choose an Arena

I think that NHL should have the option to select an arena in every mode.

This way if a player wants to play a game in franchise mode outdoors they are not limited to EASHL; the only mode that allows this.

Hitz Mode

Unless there is someone from the NHL who heavily regulates what EA can put in the game. EA should bring back features like broken glass and checking players over the boards and through the glass.

You could also have a setting in all game modes called Hitz Mode setting where it is an all out violent mode where players can get checked through the glass and the game just continues; and like the old NHL Hitz game, all of the glass resets after a whistle.

  • I've been wanting more customization for years now and have pretty much lost all hope it'll happen.

    I don't think broken glass/sticks will make a return. As much as I LOVE doing that to people, it slowed the game down and was way too frequent and unpredictable which lead players to call shenanigans

    If they had it where the game keeps playing if the glass breaks, I believe it would fix most of those issues.

    I also believe that creating a more violent mode would attract gamers that don't normally play Hockey games. I am not a huge Basketball fan, but I usually buy NBA 2k because of there endless customization and phenomenal Career Mode.

    Same. When it comes to club creation/franchise creation...let us decide what striping, piping, and fill goes where on the jersey.   Forget the templates, let us make the whole design from the ground up

    Hey, @AnarchyKid 

    Broken glass and hitting players over the boards are back! You can see these in the NHL 24 reveal trailer here.

    I saw the Trailer this morning.

    I am just so glad EA took one of my Ideas.

    LOL. My comment probably was not the deciding factor behind that decision, but if so you guys just made my year.

    I do have more ideas for NHL 25 next year that I fully intend to share, but I am going to wait until after I see the upcoming game mode trailers for NHL 24. 

    I loved the new NHL 24 trailer I cant wait to check it out on Day 1.
