@EA_Aljo I still have no idea if anything I said was understood and I don’t know how to make it more clear. I don’t want to discuss features we may or may not see in 2027.
I'm not sure if what I'm saying is being understood either. We have absolutely no details on anything whatsoever regarding what changes are instore for offline modes within the next 3 years. All I can tell you is that feedback is being listened to. If you're asking for specifics, I can't give those. If that's not what you're asking, please be more clear.
A good example would be last year or the year before. I mentioned how the opposition AI doesn’t shoot nearly enough and you asked for clarification on it. More of that would be great! Without it I worry that we’ll see changes that on the surface look like what’s being asked for, but ends up not meeting expectations… like the custom franchise. A fantastic idea that missed the mark in the details.

I’d like to know why the mark is missed so often when it comes to adding/updating offline modes. Obviously I’ll never get an answer, still curious though.
Not sure if it’s miscommunication, lack of time, difficult programming or just wrong creative direction.
It sounds like the reality of the situation is we are in for another FULL year discussing things we want to see in the offline modes without having the slightest clue what direction it’s going in.
I personally don’t want to get more into anything until after we have all of the info about NHL 24.
I know they said they didn’t make any major changes or focus energy on this years game, but how much energy would it take to fix the current bugs we had and just opening up the customization options we asked for?
Although I wouldn’t be super pleased with only those changes, at least it’s something and I’m sure most would actually be satisfied with that.

@EA_AljoThis year everyone should have full control over roster editing/ anything creation zone, I can't see any excuses why. I remember when roster sharing was added, seemed pointless in many ways since you cant fully edit anyone's appearance/ you have to start over in game modes just to make someone from LW to RW (or both) Nothing has changed for possibly two games now.
Are offline rosters used in any of the online modes? (I've pretty much never played online lol) if so that'd be a good sign that maybe it was the only thing past gameplay/ presentation that was touched for the offline portion this year. In that interview Mike never actually said "there will be no changes to offline modes whatsoever" so there's hope I think. - 3 years ago
hello in my personal opinion these nhl recent games are heavily lacking atmosphere .. something that was addressed in ea fc and fifa 23 after like a decade they have decided to work on atmosphere ... such as dressing room cutscenes tunnel cutscenes also interviews with managers or newsreporters interviewing players.. half time cutscenes... signing new player cutscenes...gym cutscenes after winning season trophy bus parade in town also more players avards cutscenes such as in ea fc there will be that ballon dor cutscenes new also........... plus all cutscenes should not be too short like current pre game cutscene that one where we see light show on the ice that is like 5 seconds it is so short... i wont be buying nhl 24 i am not a hater of series but when i put down on table ea fc 24 and nhl 24 and i ask myself where can i have better and more fun experiece on ea fc career mode or on nhl 24 franchise mode ? answer is very simple ea fc 24 is obvious winner... i would love to buy nhl 24 but it will be worthless cz franchise mode will be almost same atmosphere (cutscenes) just does not exist in nhl for some odd reasons .. fifa ea team used to be the same through whole ps4 era they havent done a lot but when next gen came out i do not know if they woke up or what but they started to work on atmosphere... after like a decade 😄 so please do that too for nhl i want to buy it and play it i am not ultimate team player and i dont buy packs i know that ea makes more money of it and so that they prioritize it but if ultimate team makes big cash some franction of it could be dipped into hiring people to improve offlne experience too.. not everyone is able to spend on UT plus me for example i am working i have split days off betweens shifts i am so tired to be good in nhl and to challenge people online for me is more than enough to play offline career mode for example just to enjoy some good hockey... so please work on atmosphere or at least just look at ea fc 24 and copy these type of cutsenes over to nhl 😄
