Here is some updates what EA Sports has made to player creation
In summary, I could say that we lost a lot equipments. But we did get a few important things into player creation. Now minimum height for created player is 165 cm (5'5"), but I would have liked the minimum heigth to have been 160 cm (5'3") like it's in FC 24. I would've wanted, that EA Sports could update location list, Me and @MV75 have hoped this already thing to NHL 23, but still EA Sports has not updated it. Also I would've wanted, that EA Sports would add same face creator tool for creation zone , what we can use in FC 24. I trust, that we're on right way and EA Sports continue updating process. Hopefully we going step by step towards better creation zone in NHL games.
I listed to previous message all equipments, which EA Sports has add to NHL 24 and which EA Sports has remove on the NHL 24. It was sadly I notice, that EA Sports had removed many hockey sticks and skates from the game. For players like me, which like create players, this was very bad thing. Now we can't choose for player realistic equipments. Even all of current players not use newest equipments. Good example Mikko Rantanen from Colorado Avalanche. He used Bauer Vapor 2X skates on last season. EA Sports added thoses skates to NHL 20 and EA Sports removed them from NHL 22. This two year politic is stupid. I can say, that EA Sports come remove Bauer Supreme Mach goalie gears from game in NHL 25 and Bauer Vapor Hyperlite 2 goalie gear from game in NHL 26, if they continue this two year politic.
I would ask, is there any chance we can get the all removed equipment back to the game, which EA Sports has removed from NHL 24?
@Juhani_91_91 Ive been telling them that they need to add them back in several players still use what they have removed. Right now there's not many choices they need to get these licenses and add current equipment. Hell they can't even transfer equipment from CHEL to offlince correctly. They are missing the Kraken equipment except the blocker. The zones on the equipment need to be each section not together. The drafted year got changed this year so when I create players they have the wrong draft year since they limited it to get more realistic results according to @EA_Aljo. Doesn't seem realistic to me.
Roadmap to better creation zone in NHL video games.
In here I will tell you what kind of changes we need for the creation zone. EA Sports updated the creation zone to NHL 24. The changes were mainly good, but still is things, which should be improved, that we get better creation zone to game. Here are the things that should be added to the creation zone.
CREATE PLAYER
Option "none" to the "play by play name" list in player creation. In team creation we have option "none" in the "play by play team name" list. If we not find right last name in the "play by play name" list, would be better , that we can choose option "none" and commentar would rather say's to the player's number than wrong last name. This not could be difficult add to the game.
Removed equipments back into the game. EA Sports has remove lot of older equipments in the NHL 24. It was sadly note, when created players. Would be important get these removed equipments back to the game. When we create players, would be nice, that we could choose for created players right equipments, what this player has used in he's carreer. Now it's unpossible, when EA Sports has remove lot of older sticks, skates and gloves in the game.
Same face creator tool into the game, what we can use in FC 24. We've good face creator tool in FC 24, we can create with it authentic looking players or managers to the game. This face creator tool would be big step forward in player creation.
Possibility create helmetless players
CREATE PLAYER AND CREATE TEAM
Updated locations list. The current locations list is missing many cities from Europe and North America. The current location list doesn't even include all NHL cities, what is very strange. Sunrise what is home city of Florida Panterher,s is one of cities what is missing at current location list. EA Sports has made great job, when they updated "play by play name "list to NHL 22. It's strange, that they not have done same to location list.
CREATE TEAM
More jersey styles to use. Now there is 89 different jersey style, but list doesn't even include all NHL jerseys. For example Detroit Red Wings and Seattle Kraken jerseys are missing as also Dallas Stars, NY Rangers and Chicago Blackhawks home jerseys. Would be nice , if we get all NHL jerseys to use in team creation.
More logos to use. Now we've in use NHL logo, some vintage logos, ECHL logos, different letter logos, custom logos, Adidas Hockey Teams logos. Would be nice, if we get AHL- , OHL-, WHL- and QMHJL logos to the use, as also european club teams logos and national team logos. We can upload logos via internet to the game in 2K NBA. Hopefully EA Sports addded this option to the game. Would be nice, if we could upload logos to the game. Thus we could our favourite teams to the game.
Possibility use female players in the created team. Now we can use female player in the created teams, but only female players, which we have create to game. For example if we want Sarah Nurse or Hillary Knight to our created team, we can't directly select them from national teams. If we want them to the team, our need create them to game. To this should come change.
Possibility use numbers in the team name. This has been possible last time at NHL 17, but not after that. This need return back to the game soon than possible.
