I wouldn't hold your breath on this. Id wager they couldn't figure out how to fix the dsync issue that was going on in NHL 22 - so they proceeded to remove it fully in NHL 23 (easier then taking the time to fix it - taking away from working on the new yearly features and online content) - then due to all the backlash from the community on this they "makeshift" some of it back/ change some as well for NHL 24.
Until they fix the dsync issue or take time to rebuild the design of it (which i can't see them having time for due to getting the previously stated yearly marketed features being worked on + online operators and season pass content)... I personally can't see it happening, plus I have the feeling for the past few years that they would rather cater the online player base more (who largely want a more fast paced experience)
This is coming from an offline only/ franchise mode player. Honestly, if I could have a roster update for NHL 22 - I'd easily drop NHL 24 and maybe 25 just to play it.
Also, for the career mode (Be a Pro) - that still have glitches and spelling mistakes that was in prior games so I can't see that being touched at all.
