Honest Franchise Mode Feedback. (Yikes)

NHL Franchise Mode is broken and basically unenjoyable. Drafted Forwards do not generate with the "Carry", "Efficiency" and "Don't Block" Player line preferences. Drafted Defencemen do not generate ...

    Drafted Forwards do not generate with the "Efficiency" and "Don't Block" Player line preferences. Drafted Defencemen do not generate with the
    "Hold Line" or "Balanced" Player line preferences.

    The "Franchise | Overview" box in the bottom right corner is extremely useless. There is zero need for it to display the current date. I can view that already in the top right corner, the large "PLAY NEXT GAME" box, or the "CALENDER | SEASON 20XX-20-XX box.
    The "Next Game" again is useless information. I can look at the "PLAY NEXT GAME" box or the "CALENDER | SEASON 20XX-20-XX box.
    "Locker Room Chemistry" will rarely change throughout the season
    "Player Meetings" again will rarely be looked at throughout the season
    "Next Event: x Days" again who cares its unneeded

    What you really need to do is dedicate that box to your teams injury statuses. I should not have to click off the main menu to find the status of my injured players.

    "Team Leader | Points"
    simply needs to show an actual leaderboard so I can see how my players are doing on the main page not just the top player.

    I’ve been beating the drafted forwards not having carry efficient and don’t block for the better part of 5 years. They’re never going to fix it.

@jjbyrd04 Ah.... I just remember loading up a save one day after an update only to find all my player line preferences were reset and some of my d had balanced and hold line. They need to implement a stat for coachability for players to adapt to coaches strategies and for coaches to have an adaptability for how willing they are to flex their strategies to players preferences and that would solve most of their poorly implemented ideas.
I had a line that all had perfect preferences and the best I got was a +3 like what the fk EA

I’ve also suggested that players adapt to coach schemes as well. They need to open editing capabilities back up and allow everything to be edited and they also need to allow custom coaches to be created.

EA claims they have plans for franchise mode over the next few years but even with a few years that’s way too long. The problem is they create these mechanics which don’t work then they create new mechanics that also don’t work but they don’t fix the previous mechanics.

    @jjbyrd04 If EA wants to restore faith back into their developers they need to be up front and tell us whats going on. But all they seem to care about is greed and HUT. It's a huge slap in the face to everyone. Just be transparent. Give us a timeline on what changes are coming to franchise mode. What bugs are you aware of, and if anything is currently being done to fix them

      they want you in the casino playing the slot machines. i think they have to put in these other modes to circumvent the state and federal gambling laws like draft kings ..or would this not be like the lotto and more like upperdeck selling cards ?

      either way ea should just take it out of the game and only have ultimate team and not even bother with it all ..its a shame its my fav mode to play but its unplayable now

        I spent a few hundred bucks on hut back in 2013 or whatever and haven't touched the game mode since

        I can't stand supporting this company anymore. I wish I could do a charge back on my credit card due to all of these bugs. Unless something changes management wise I think I'm done buying EA games
