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...
Forum Discussion
NCAA teams /players
Team builder like college football and Madden. Full IIHF integration into Be a Pro and Franchise. Editing of all fake players for the draft in franchise and no more blank profile pics for those without one. Use generated avitar images like in college football. Outdoor games back for NHL games.
Probably won't see a single one of these things unfortunately as EA is who we know them to be.
Franchise mode
1. Retain salary in Trades2. Front loaded or back loaded contract with performance bonuses
3. NCAA , KHL, MHL , VHL roster pretty please
4. Perform or select the drill my coaches should do for the week to improved players
5. Enough with 5000 millions injuries even with injury sliders to a minimum
6. Watch a prospect game as a scout so I can really get a better sense of who I want to draft
7. Instead of having to select coaches/staff from a list, Why not have coach/staff sending resume so I can pick the coach I want
8. Development or Rookie camp to evaluate players I drafted
9. Emergency recall a player in the CHL in case of injuries
10. See the stats of any of the draft players while they are playing in the CHL/NCAA
11. Menu that doesn't lag , pretty please
Be a Pro mode
1. As a goalie, when I not dressed for a game, if the goalie gets replaced , I should be loading into the game instead of having sim statistic
2. Perform drill so I can improved specific skill instead of skill tree
3. Player improvement should be based on how I play instead of a skill tree. Stats should reflect my playstyle, example : the more I slapshot, the better I get at it.
4. Instead of buying images, why can I actually the "My crib" features from the 2K games, when you can buy things for you house and actually see the fruit of your work
5. I should be able to talk to my agent anything I want and demand a trade of why I only I played 6 min during the last game
6. I should be able to skip the Be a Pro initial sequence FFS
7. Bring back CHL/AHL progression. Add NCAA college pretty please
Be a coach mode
This mode would put you the role of a coach in the NHL, You start as coaching a CHL team and progress you way to the NHL. You have to setup your plays, call the line shift , setup your line, setup your drill to improve your team, apply to better jobs, perform interview to get the jobs. Ultimately trying to win the Jack Adams Trophy.
Ultimate team
1. Have a system similar to Affinity Team of MLB The show, You have objectives and event you can perform and get cards by gaining XP for that division. Trading 6 cards to get a better cards kind goes again the collective aspect of Ultimate team. You have to trade in your card just so you can compete instead of working toward an objective and obtaining a card for doing so. No packs. Get players. Rewards the actions. Respect the players time by rewarding them for participating in that mode.
This is just a small list of the thing I know we will probably never get in the NHL series but a man has to dream...Also bring back PC version pretty pretty please.
