NHL 25 WISHLIST (YES ALREADY)
So I throw this out there every year, and sometimes maybe someone reads it and an update gets made (I was throwing Create a Team out there for years back in the early 2000s, and they finally added it...
It'd be nice if they added some things to BaP to make it feel more realistic
1. Practice/training mode
2. Ability to build chemistry with linemates during practice mode and ability to ask coach to play with particular linemates
3. Player meetings in the locker room where you can adjust strategies and try to motivate teammates to play harder
4. Winter Classic
5. All Star game and skills competition
6. Olympics
7. AHL demotion
8. Contract disputes with GM and agent before free agency begins
9. Chance for GM to trade you if you don't agree to a contract soon enough
10. Retirement Ceremony/speech
11. Jersey Retirements
12. End-of-season award ceremony/speech
13. Request/recruit players to be traded or sign in free agency
Outside of BaP mode:
1. Player tendencies (likelihood to shoot five hole, glove side, etc., likelihood to shoot from different areas, likelihood to stick check vs take body, likelihood to attack the slot vs play perimeter)
2. More refined hockey IQ where players can notice other players' tendencies and use their skills to exploit and outsmart their opponents
3. Retire Jerseys in Franchise mode
4. Edit players in franchise mode
1. Make the gameplay of the game in HUT and WOW as responsive as in online versus, without the swamp effect
2. Make the maximum player rating no higher than 85! This is very important for gameplay and fair play
3. Diversify the tournaments at HUT champions. Make tournaments for silver cards, for bronze cards and for regular gold ones.
Make the game fair and equal. So that everyone learns to play with weak teams, and not elites with a rating of 90 and above, where an AI assistant decides everything for you
4. When playing in overtime, the points must be divided in half, in all modes! Why is it that for so many years, it is still not taken into account and as many points are deducted for a defeat in overtime as for a defeat in the main time. Aren't you familiar with the rules of the game?)
The big imperative : Franchise Mode Give the player the opportunity to create the identity (last name, first name, nationality, profile face) of the regens like others sports video games
For HUT:
1. Please make some kind of leaderboard. It is available for HUT Champions only.
Make leaderboards for Rivals as well. Also more statistics like current win or losing streak. Also being able to see the profile of the last online player you faced would be nice, what kind of division he was playing in and so on. Would also be cool to see some kind of nationality flag beside your last opponent's profile, just like in EA sport FC. (Like, did I face / play someone from Sweden, Russia?)
2. Add a new online mode to HUT like draft champions or competitive seasons.
