Strategies in NHL 23
Are they going to fix strategies in the game so we can go back and edited them like we did in previous games? (picture I’ve provided.)

@EA_Aljo Sure…. And jet fuel can’t melt steel beams 😂😂😂
im kidding I’m kidding. Don’t ban me
- @Andochiefs Like what happened last year with roster sharing… crossplay will likely be left to the last couple days of November before it launches… so it’ll be nearly a month to wait… speculation.. but we’ll see if it’s accurate or not lol
If EA wants to ween out offline players with stupid decisions like this, they're succeeding so far. Cutting even more freedom from an already restricting game mode makes me not want this game ever/ any others in the future that still have these stupid decisions. Players will literally get stuck skating into each other and the priorities instead are removing more freedom from the player.
- @bg0vzeyqov1y Yup 100% they are just alienating the fan base even more.. and still haven’t listened to our feedback about opening up player editing and strategy editing… the plan is to lock us out of these features for some reason…
The coach strategy bug proves how important the ability to change strategies is…
CPU generated prospects having improper attributes that don’t match their height/weight/player type is also another reason why it’s so vital to have the ability to edit players… - @heavydutyrammer My ideal dream would be. If NHL franchise mode was like My GM in NBA2k.
The things you can do and control and view is endless. Franchise users for years: practically begging for more customization
Some decision maker at EA: hey guys, I just thought of something… what if we took away the ability the edit strategies? You know, because you’re not the coach, you’re the GM. The mode is still called Be a GM, right?
Everyone at EA listening to them: Yeah, that sounds good, because I’ve never thought of anything in this game beyond the surface level. I’m sure no one will be upset. That gives me an idea about presentation….
- @kyl_35 What is so discombobulating is that we’ve been asking to edit players further ie height weight etc.. and then they took away the basic editing such play style, position etc.. and completely locked us out.. and for years we’ve been asking for it back.. so we went backwards with that one
And then yes.. they decided to remove our ability to edit strategies.. and they threw in a half fleshed out league settings… which is alright I guess until you create 36 teams and the AHL teams are all bungled up with no way to fix them… list goes on of course.. and it’s even more frustrating when we get in trouble for voicing our frustrations because we have to ask for X for years and years and then they restrict it even more…
I just can’t believe they justified removing edit strategies with the “you’re not the coach” reason, when we edit lines.. hot dog prices… upgrade your toilets.. etc just doesn’t make sense. It’s not an actual reason Not to mention things such as offer sheet compensation not working. You can offer a contract to any restricted free agent and you will not lose any draft picks. You don’t even have to have the required draft picks to make the offer. Completely broken. It worked every year until this year. Can’t even add players to the game that have been playing in the AHL since last year despite having the license to use the AHL teams.
Let’s face it. This game is a tire fire. Any fixes we could hope to get are being put off for cross play integration, because that’s what EA cares about.
They want likes and shares on tik tok. They don’t care about us franchise users who just want a game that works and emulates the sport we watch on tv. Sad but true
The last thing I or most other players want is to have the team strategies forced on us.
At least make it an option to override it.
Seriously, on a long list of bad decisions with respect to the franchise, this is right up there.
Maybe fix the useless AI instead. The AI in nHL 21 was better than it's been since the move to frost bite.
Like, do.you want everyone who plays the franchise mode to stop buying the game, because that's what it feels like.
@xRixx666x They would have to care what we think to do that, and they clearly don't.
@heavydutyrammer Yes, the logic is baffling. Only someone who doesn't play the game would do that.
I couldn't believe they took away the ability to change the period length mid game .
If I want to change that, why not? Does some developer get butt hurt if someone changes a period length from 4 minutes to 3 minutes or 5 minutes mid game?
Why does EA care HOW is play? Only should care that I do. Really bad product management on their part.(CM: Posts shared in a row have been merged. Check out this post for tips on how to edit and add more to a post.)
