@Froommey No one is expecting you to buy the game if it doesn't meet YOUR standards/wants from the game. I mean they did add some presentation this year which covers online and offline which of course didn't meet with praise from the community overall. I don't think full presentation will be a thing but I could see them revamping the intro and showing the goalie stuff and even bringing back 3 Stars. I'm hopeful for you all even if though I don't touch the offline modes you all love.

These presentations have nothing to do with the offline modes but are just in-game presentations. The entire AI logic of the offline modes, I'm specifically talking about the franchise mode, is broken. If you don't need these offline gamers and it looks like that, then in fairness you should let them know. I have no understanding of making promises to people year after year without them being kept. I think I speak for many offline gamers and not just for myself.

    @FroommeyYou got full access to sliders in the offline modes and from the videos that PernellKarl027 has really made close to true hockey experiences. And I'm sorry but presentation is a huge part of offline imo just looking at the forums over the last year. You don't get  many online only gamers asking for that stuff.

    I have my own very good sliders that I use. PernellKarl027 does a good job, I know that. My rosters I share for the offline community are one of the best and up to date. OPSports user know this. My face scan thread in OP Sports ist one with the largest views in this OP forum. More than 240 000 views. Did'nt you say to me that face scans got less intentions and are not important ? I have no idea why you always want to focus me on gameplay? What does the best gameplay have to do with the development logic of franchise mode not working properly? Nevertheless, the presentation has nothing to do with the game mode. It's just part of the gameplay. If it is the case that the presentation is only important for offline players, then this presentation was removed from them from NHL 23 onwards. Trade logic, free agent logic, player development logic and so on. All doesn't work like it should. The hybrid skill situation also shows me that there are maybe not less offline gamers. I don't think many using hybrid stick in online modes.
    So the masses of offline gamers in the forums and social networks caused it to be added again through their strong protests.

    I just saw my name pop up 😀 First of all I’m very flattered, thanks allot to you guys for the shoutout 👍

    Maybe I’m speaking for myself here, but having way better tools to edit player likeness and better overall presentation would suffice to have a very good offline experience. Since like you know, the gameplay parts can be tweaked to our own liking. Most of them anyway…

    See, we found a brand new formula for players not too long ago and we have to EDIT all NHL DMEN on the PS5 and X again… A global editor would be GOLDEN for us right now… Imagine editing all these players with the editor we have right now, it’s a MAJOR pain 😫😫

    When EA say that they focused more on the online portion "this" year, I can help myself to cringe 😬 Cause I didn’t see much in the last 3 years anyway for offline peeps.

    @PernellKarl027 I sadly don't think we will ever get to the point of being able to edit real players looks and such around. I mean we tried to get a simple as to why you couldn't remove helmets especially if you were creating a legend who didn't wear one back then. I chalked it up to licensing and not wanting to throw anyone under the bus so it just gets ignored. But time will tell what the future of customization brings.

    I know personally I've been asking for the FC (formerly FIFA) Be A Pro player customization to come to the NHL. It has so many more customization options than what we currently have. But only time will tell if it comes to be.
