hey @heavydutyrammer, ya i saw it isn't on the patch notes but i have found that bugs sometimes get fixed in a release and they aren't mentioned in the patch notes; not often but it's almost away of not acknowledging it publicly but still correcting the problem...we have talked about this on here before but it's absolutely beyond belief that Custom Franchise was created this year and advertised with legendary teams and no one in QA happened to to try Gretzky out on the one of many teams he is on in this game and noticed he was wearing #98?
I've covered this before but this is a problem in Playoff Mode to where retired jerseys OFF doesnt help the #99 situation. I know few ppl play Playoff Mode any more but Custom Franchise is made for making legendary teams and leagues.
I'm not even sure why Retired Jerseys needs to be in the game in anymore. If someone wants to make a truly authentic team/league, just edit the Jerseys/Captains and change it for retired numbers. It's legacy code/feature that should just be removed.
Hoping it gets fixed before the patches stop for NHL 23 otherwise this will just sit another year.
