Now when we know something about NHL 24. We beginning wait next big reveal and it's, which are the new alumni players in NHL 24.EA Sports added these new alumni player to the NHL 23.GoaliesMarc Denis (CAN)Henrik Lundqvist (SWE)Defencemans.Cory Sarich (CAN)Jeff Schultz (CAN)ForwardsDaniel Alfredsson (SWE)Matt Calvert (CAN)Kyle Chipchura (CAN)Martin Gélinas (CAN)Marcel Goc (GER)Bill Guerin (USA)Scott Hartnell (CAN)Matt Hendricks (USA)Ryan Malone (CAN)Gerry Meehan (CAN)Ethan Moreau (CAN)Jim Slater (USA)Wojtek Wolski (CAN)In addition of these Jaromir Jagr (CZE) returned to alumin teams.

Here is my wishlist about new alumni players, which I wanted to see in NHL 24. Hopefully part of them is in the game. I have named 3 players from each team, which I wanted to see in the game.

Here is little bit alumni players history in NHL video games.EA Sports launched alumni players to the NHL 19, at that time there were 5 different teams in the game where alumni players were in use.In NHL 20 all other NHL teams except the Vegas Golden Knights got their own alumni team in the game. In addition former NHL teams Hartford Whalers, Minnesota North Stars and Quebec Nordiques got ther own alumni team in the game.We have been allowed to use alumni players in team creation since NHL 20EA Sports added 50 new players to the alumni teams in NHL 21.EA Sports added 80 new players to the alumni teams in NHL 22EA Sports added 16 new players and returned Jagr to the alumni teams in NHL 23.Hopefully in NHL 24, is much new alumni player. Especially NJ Devils legend Scott Stevens and Anaheim legend Paul Kariya would be nice add to the game.

I’m doing retro rosters so I’m always curious which legends/alumnis we will get or lose. Last year we lost : PK SubbanZdeno CharaRyan GetzlafPatrick MarleauJason SpezzaDuncan KeithKyle TurrisAndrej SekeraBrian BoyleI’m scare we’ll lose this yearPatrice BergeronDavid KrejciPatric HornqvistDarren HelmJoe ThorntonJustin BraunPraying for some comebacksPavel DatsyukHenrik ZetterbergOlder version of Jagr (1990’s) Pavel BureMarian HossaThese alumnis have old models from NHL13, Sedin hair are blocks, the added version of Hartnell is the old one from NHL16. They need a huge overhaul.

@NicCrosby87 Okay!! One idea, which I wanted see in the game is historical teams. We have classic teams in the 2K NBA games, this would be great add also to NHL games. Would be nice, if the game had teams like '98-'99 Dallas Stars , '03-'04 NJ Devils and '83-'84 Edmonton Oilers.In FIFA 23 is great face creator tool, what we can use in the player- and manager creation. This would be nice add to the NHL games. On this tool we could create of young Ovechkin face. It's strange, that EA Sports has not added to this face creator tool to the NHL games. I think it should be added.

I wish for so many years to get actual retro teams! My Penguins from 2008-2009, Blackhawks from 2010, older 70’s Bruins and Canadiens and much more. The issue with this : Licensing! In NBA 2K there are 13-14 players per team and most of the time, 7 are generic ones. Now imagine NHL with 23 to 25 players. You also need to have different versions of every player to match the accurate ratings, no more Mike Modano 90 overall in Detroit for example. I speak from experience, creating rosters. Even on 2014 or 2016 rosters I miss 6-7 sometimes 10 players I have to create. As much as I want it, I know it’s a huge work to put in place. I highly doubt devs would do it. Realistically:50 max players roster instead of 35 would be a huge step forward.Updated face scans for many many players. I mentioned the Sedin is a good example of an old 10 years scan.New face scans the current alumni rosters! Guerin, Langenbrunner, Maurice Richard and 100+ more. I create a different Bill Guerin because I feel the actual one doesn’t look like him at all. Same goes for many players. It’s sad that I can create in 5 min a better version of the player than the generic one they give us. Different versions of each player ! Not 1 Shea Weber at 70 rating in the Nashville Alumni because of the Arizona one would be great! I mention in my NHL25 wishlist post ideas for creation suite, such as retro gear, create helmetless players, editing current generated players! If I could switch things up for players that don’t have an actual face scan, that would be marvellous!

Let’s hope we have some improvements in near future! I heard Tougie24 (Youtube) speaks about how creation suite will be better and he sounded excited. It got me excited! I usually create over 650 players, with accurate appearance, gear, contracts, rating for my rosters. Really delicated, I have a good time doing it. If there is new stuff that makes my life easier I’ll be happy!

Just came across this thread and I love it 👍
You guys are absolute freaks about the game and every details counts and I love it 😀
As far as creating players or editing them, what a pain ! 😫 I had to edit about 600 for my roster and at one point I thought I was gonna die…
I asked EA several times for a "global" editor of some sort, but I think that will never happen. Unfortunately…

I created in NHL22 2008-2009, 2009-2010, 2016-2017! My PS5 tells me I played 1200h ! Haha I believe it. On NHL23, I did half of 2008-2009. Never finished it. 2013-2014 4-5 teams. The thing is I bought the game on January. I was pissed about no replays, no more horn sounds (typical 3 horn blast in Pittsburgh), and many other stuff so I really played less. Only 380h.

But, NHL24, i’m hyped up, Pre-Ordered, I’ll be starting as fast as I can. Probably going to start with 2009-2010 roster. Then once 650 players are created, at least half of it will be used for the 2013-2014 roster.

@NicCrosby87 I have a plan, that first team, which I create to NHL 24, is Canada's this year Hlinka-Gretzky Cup team. Would be nice create Rendez-vous'87 team to the game, but it all depends on that what alumni players we have use in NHL 24. Also would be nice create Jokerit alumni team to the game. Jokerit is my favourite team and for example Teemu Selänne, Jari Kurri, Tim Thomas and Kari Lehtonen has played in Jokerit, also Erik Karlsson has played 30 games in Jokerit on season 2012-13 . EA Sports added Jokerit logo and jerseys to the NHL 23, but sadly only players which play HUT or EASHL game modes got to enjoy this. This saddened me, because I would've wanted create Jokerit alumni team to the NHL23. Big minus in team creation is very limited a selection of logos, what we can use in team creation. We can only use NHL- and ECHL logos, some historical logos, EA's own made custom logos and letter logos. It's stange, that we can't use AHL logos or European teams logos in the teams creation. We can upload logos to the game in 2K NBA games, this is great and thus we can create our favourite teams to the game , for example Vancouver Grizzlies. This would be awesome add to NHL 24, but we're unlikely to ever get this into game.

That Toronto list isn’t too exciting. I’d like to see Armstrong, Pulford and Turnbull
