Here's a list of items that I hope we see very soon in this franchise. NOTE: I AM MAINLY AN OFFLINE PLAYER SO IM SORRY TO THE HUT AND WORLD OF CHEL GUYS ON HERE!:OFFLINE/OTHER:Switch/PC releaseplease bring back longer intro presentations (IE: A shot of the city, Props coming down, skaters coming on the ice, goalie stats before the game, etc.) Online keep it how it is cause online we should be able to get into games right away, Let offline users though be fully immersed.Let the 3 stars of the game skate onto the ice.Let's get a fresh new scoreboard. It's been five years.I'd love to see Line Brawls added, but only in certain situations so it's not annoying (a rivalry game like the Battle of Alberta or a close playoff game)More customize options. More horns, songs, sticks, goalie equipment, faces, beards, hair, celly, jerseys. MascotHave an offline 3v3 mode. Basically, just like 3v3 OT but for 3 periods, with the same NHL regulation ice.In game little details such as your PP attempts in season and ranking as well as Coaching adjustments at the end of the period (straight from the 360 days)Please have the Series Score Clock during the playoffs. There should be a ticker that says (VGK Leads 2-1). It makes the playoffs and broadcast feel more realistic. This is straight outta FIFA but add an xG counter. Would be a good indicator of how one is playing without having to rely on "time on attack" or "shots". FRANCHISE MODE:For trades, let us add more than 5 assets.Bring back the GM Tracker from NHL14-Legacy. Let us see our GM rep, our GM season by season record, etc.If we send a proposal to a team, they can counter with another offer. This was in NHL 12 and it happens in real life.Let us sign PTOS. Say if you don’t want to waste an asset on a player you don't know that could fit your scheme, and you don’t want to rush rookies. You can sign a player to a PTO and then you’ll be able to see if they’re a fit. If not, release them and keep trying until you find someone. Because the current system is kinda broken where you can just sign someone and flip them right away if they don’t fit which really isn’t realistic.3 Way trades should be a thing by now.Let us give players a NMC/NTC It may be hard to implement but Arbitration would be cool to see.In past games, played had a FA interest meter for your team. (Madden introduced something similar this year)Franchise Connected should be a thing.World Juniors, All Star Game and Winter Classic are MUSTS IMO,I don't know how there isn't a GM OF THE YEAR award added.Once again, in old games, there was a banner raising ceremony if we won the cup. Bring this back.Let us retire players jersey's and let there be a retirement ceremony. The animation can be a carbon copy of the cup banner, just let it be in the game.Every week have a quick little pop up of the "3 stars of the month" in the league.Let us see the entire history of who won the "Hart" or the "Richard". 2K has this and even games like HLM24 which is a mobile sim game.Players with huge injury histories, example Klefbom, should be able to sustain career ending injuries.Let us be able to go back to any game on the calendar and check the box scores for that game. Please!!Add conditional picks and protected picks.Coaches challenge - Might be hard to implement but i swear there's time where there's missed offsides, icings, etc.Suspensions - dirty hits should be punished by the league. Players with history obviously get harsher sentences. Be a Pro:First and foremost, please bring back the ability to play full seasons in Junior and in Europe. I should be able to choose to start as a 16 year old kid, grinding for my draft year in 2 seasons.Also bring back the AHL.Please have proper RFA status. I shouldn't be a UFA at age 21. (Arbitration fits here too)Let me actually negotiate my contract as well.Let Us See Other Teams' LinesCan the same teammate stop asking me questions? Why does Filip Forsberg have to ask me to come out every week?Please tone down the amount of times the coach calls me to the bench in game. Have it happen like every 3-4 games.Same goes for the teammate, media, coach conversations when simminh. It happens way too much.I feel like your player can never play on the PK. is this a glitch?I should not be named captain in my Sophomore year. Why am I getting the captaincy ahead of McDavid, Crosby, etc?Free agents in Be a Pro always leave the team. Why is that?Let us play in the World Juniors.Midway through our final year, GMs/Teams should give us CONTRACT EXTENSIONS. We can obviously negotiate on the deal or flat-out reject, which could lead to us being dealt.Also, bring back waivers, but make it make sense. A 90 overall guy shouldn't be placed on it but an 81 overall guy who makes 3M should.Like Franchise, let us be chosen for the All Star Weekend and participate. Any thoughts or comments would be nice. Thank you!

@Shadythekid111 @EA_Aljo You have great ideas for offline game modes. I also play offline modes and I also like creating players and teams. Nice to see, that there is still player which like offline game modes and like create players- and teams. It sadly, that EA Sports has left us to the offside, when we talk what things players want to game. I have noticed, that if problem is in the online game modes, like HUT or CHEL they fix it soon, but if we problem is offline game modes they not do nothing. It sadly. The latest example is it when they removed lot of skaters, sticks and gloves from game."Have an offline 3v3 mode. Basically, just like 3v3 OT but for 3 periods, with the same NHL regulation ice."- I agree with you, that we need 3 vs 3 game mode, where we can playing 3 vs 3 matches with same rules, what used on overtime and specifically so that match would last three three period and if game was tied after 3rd period, would come penalty-shot shootout. Also would be nice, we could create separately to 3 vs 3 teams, where maximum is 15 players in each team and minimum11 players. Now if you playing with NHL All-Stars teams, there is lot of extra players. In the game is NHL Threes game mode, but it's good for the players, which want playing arcade hockey without rules."More customize options. More horns, songs, sticks, goalie equipment, faces, beards, hair, celly, jerseys. Mascot"- I agree with you on this too. We need more equipments for goalies and also for skaters. We need both new and older equipment for goalies and players. EA Sports remove lot of skates, gloves and stick from NHL 24 and I scare that this is just the beginning. It's sadly that EA Sports doesn't care offline players. Older equipments is importat in player creation. We really need more faces, hair- and beards styles to player creation. If EA Sports really care players, which like create a players they could add to the game same face creator tool , which is in FC 24. With this face creator tool we could create real looking players. I think, that if EA Sports add this face creator tool to the NHL 25, it would be popular. Abbsoluetly we need more jersey designs to the game. Would be nice, that every NHL team home and away jersey could be found team creation. Also would be nice, if we get jersey models from other manifactures like Nike, Warrior and Athleticknit. In the legendary Pro Evolution Soccer, we had a possibility uploading own logos to the game via ubs stick and 2K NBA we can do this same via internet. Would be nice, if we get this opportunity to NHL 25. Now we have in use only NHL-, ECHL-, historical- and custom logos in the team creation. Would be nice, if we could write team name to the jersey like in NY Rangers jersey.

- Full presentation (introduction of goaltenders, realistic intro, views of substitutes, new views of the ice, fans and players during interruptions) light show on the ice surface was a good step in NHL 24, also good to add elaborate rings between the balconies in the hall.- New timer, add playoff series status, return playoff logo to ice. There is no difference between a friendly match and a playoff match. Hand fans are at least overhead.- a new celebration of the winning match, watching the same one for 6 years is suffering. could look better and last 2x longer.- new sound system, add new sounds of shooting a stick or guardrails (add more sounds)- Even better to work out the goal net after touching the puck.- A small demonstration of how players return to the ice between breaks, or how they go to the cabin (this was in the game a few years ago)- add more licensed music- New engine for fans, watching fans from NHL 15, we want a completely new audience.(a lot of wishes belong to players who play the franchise or season mode, where immersion in the match is important, even outside the course of the game with the puck)

Hi there, @Shadythekid111 I moved your thread to the Game Suggestions forum. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us.

@jlnhl2001We now have CCM and Adidas jerseys in use at team creation. Would be nice, if we will have also Bauer, Reebok, Warrior, Nike and Athletic Knit jersey styles in use at team creation. I think that CCM jerseys should be update. Collar is different now days.

@jlnhl2001Okay. "Star jersey" what Dallas Stars used from 1997 to 2006. I would like to see this jersey in team creation. As well as all NHL teams home - and away jerseys.

NHL 25 Wishlist - OFFLINE ONLY

Here's a list of items that I hope we see very soon in this franchise. NOTE: I AM MAINLY AN OFFLINE PLAYER SO IM SORRY TO THE HUT AND WORLD OF CHEL GUYS ON HERE!:

OFFLINE/OTHER:

Switch/PC release
please bring back longer intro presentations (IE: A shot of the city, Props coming down, skaters coming on the ice, goalie stats before the game, etc.) Online keep it how it is cause online we should be able to get into games right away, Let offline users though be fully immersed.
Let the 3 stars of the game skate onto the ice.
Let's get a fresh new scoreboard. It's been five years.
I'd love to see Line Brawls added, but only in certain situations so it's not annoying (a rivalry game like the Battle of Alberta or a close playoff game)
More customize options. More horns, songs, sticks, goalie equipment, faces, beards, hair, celly, jerseys. Mascot
Have an offline 3v3 mode. Basically, just like 3v3 OT but for 3 periods, with the same NHL regulation ice.
In game little details such as your PP attempts in season and ranking as well as Coaching adjustments at the end of the period (straight from the 360 days)
Please have the Series Score Clock during the playoffs. There should be a ticker that says (VGK Leads 2-1). It makes the playoffs and broadcast feel more realistic.
This is straight outta FIFA but add an xG counter. Would be a good indicator of how one is playing without having to rely on "time on attack" or "shots".

FRANCHISE MODE:
For trades, let us add more than 5 assets.
Bring back the GM Tracker from NHL14-Legacy. Let us see our GM rep, our GM season by season record, etc.
If we send a proposal to a team, they can counter with another offer. This was in NHL 12 and it happens in real life.
Let us sign PTOS. Say if you don’t want to waste an asset on a player you don't know that could fit your scheme, and you don’t want to rush rookies. You can sign a player to a PTO and then you’ll be able to see if they’re a fit. If not, release them and keep trying until you find someone. Because the current system is kinda broken where you can just sign someone and flip them right away if they don’t fit which really isn’t realistic.
3 Way trades should be a thing by now.
Let us give players a NMC/NTC
It may be hard to implement but Arbitration would be cool to see.
In past games, played had a FA interest meter for your team. (Madden introduced something similar this year)
Franchise Connected should be a thing.
World Juniors, All Star Game and Winter Classic are MUSTS IMO,
I don't know how there isn't a GM OF THE YEAR award added.
Once again, in old games, there was a banner raising ceremony if we won the cup. Bring this back.
Let us retire players jersey's and let there be a retirement ceremony. The animation can be a carbon copy of the cup banner, just let it be in the game.
Every week have a quick little pop up of the "3 stars of the month" in the league.
Let us see the entire history of who won the "Hart" or the "Richard". 2K has this and even games like HLM24 which is a mobile sim game.
Players with huge injury histories, example Klefbom, should be able to sustain career ending injuries.
Let us be able to go back to any game on the calendar and check the box scores for that game. Please!!
Add conditional picks and protected picks.
Coaches challenge - Might be hard to implement but i swear there's time where there's missed offsides, icings, etc.
Suspensions - dirty hits should be punished by the league. Players with history obviously get harsher sentences.

Be a Pro:

First and foremost, please bring back the ability to play full seasons in Junior and in Europe. I should be able to choose to start as a 16 year old kid, grinding for my draft year in 2 seasons.
Also bring back the AHL.
Please have proper RFA status. I shouldn't be a UFA at age 21. (Arbitration fits here too)
Let me actually negotiate my contract as well.
Let Us See Other Teams' Lines
Can the same teammate stop asking me questions? Why does Filip Forsberg have to ask me to come out every week?
Please tone down the amount of times the coach calls me to the bench in game. Have it happen like every 3-4 games.
Same goes for the teammate, media, coach conversations when simminh. It happens way too much.
I feel like your player can never play on the PK. is this a glitch?
I should not be named captain in my Sophomore year. Why am I getting the captaincy ahead of McDavid, Crosby, etc?
Free agents in Be a Pro always leave the team. Why is that?
Let us play in the World Juniors.
Midway through our final year, GMs/Teams should give us CONTRACT EXTENSIONS. We can obviously negotiate on the deal or flat-out reject, which could lead to us being dealt.
Also, bring back waivers, but make it make sense. A 90 overall guy shouldn't be placed on it but an 81 overall guy who makes 3M should.
Like Franchise, let us be chosen for the All Star Weekend and participate.

Any thoughts or comments would be nice. Thank you!

Loved most of your ideas SHADYTHEKID111. I have been thinking about asking to add suspensions for a long time. Also really like the idea of teams countering a trade proposal/ 3 way trades etc. Things you didn't touch on, I'd like to see if it possible to have user tracked stats? I play franchise with my family and would like to know if you could keep track of stats of individual users. Maybe make the franchise co-op an online thing so friends/ family members can connect online and play their franchise season together online. Can you possibly make the crowd more authentic (such as home fans not jumping up and clapping when the away team scores?) Maybe some nick name chants when a goalie makes a great save, players' names chanted when they win a fight, MVP chants for star player who may possibly be in play to collect the MVP, or mocking chants to opposing players. With hat tricks I see lots of hats of different colors but none of the team that actually scored, Also, maybe allowing the user to change who takes the face off (maybe they get kicked out of the faceoff circle) or pre faceoff adjustments/ positional set ups. I do like the idea of line brawls but make it a rare occurrence. I like the idea of what they are trying to do with NCAA with a fatigue system maybe they could do something like that in NHL 25 as well. If a player is involved in a fight or multiple fights maybe a black eye fat lip would be present. Change the icon used to indicate player being controlled by the player. NHL25 seemed to have gotten away from an indicator for players/ users off screen location can we go back to how it was it NHL23 at the minimum? Can you tone down how often the goalie goes into full sprawl mode it happens way to often and weak shots lead to fat rebound opportunities. Maybe add the goalie losing a stick in a scramble or breaking on heavy shot. Lastly, I don't know what u did to the flip out option, but it clearly doesn't go higher then 6 feet because every player is able to jump and catch the puck to keep it in the defensive zone. Just some ideas to help the process I look forward to seeing what else you can incorporate in the game to make it more realistic and fun.

Franchise mode is in dire need of customization revoluton and integration of all licensed leagues and tournaments into it.
Be a pro needs a complete overall. The interations, the coach challeges, the horrible and pointless interview questions, it all needs to go. The loss of juniors, the failure to integrate international tournaments, the poor customization features all ruin this mode for me.
I honestly barely even play NHL anymore because NBA 2k's MyEras mode runs rings arround anything EA has ever done and even though I don't really like basketball I will play that game over NHL any time for the foreseeable future.
