NHL Custom Players/Teams/Rosters in Private Lobbies? For '25? For '24? CMON!!!

Hi I was wondering if we could use custom players and/or teams against friends in a private lobby in NHL 2024?

If not, I'm not gonna even waste my money on this one, and to be completely honest, future ones as well.

Its a video game, lets have some good old fashioned fun, and be able to go beyond realism for once.

EA needs to realize that adults don't have the time to go to other peoples houses to play with custom characters or custom teams.

Having that personal connection in NHL is what got me hooked on it back in 2001.

Yes NHL 2001, On PlayStation. Thats how long I have been playing and purchasing NHL games from EA.

Custom Characters, with the announcer screaming my name, when I get a goal is what got me into this franchise.

Yes, we know that custom characters and team are broken.

Yes, we know that they all have max stats. But we're friends, WE DON'T CARE!!!

Friends playing with friends using custom players and/or teams in a private online lobby shouldn't be hard to create.

How hard is it to bring back this option? We all want to play against each other using everyone's name in our friend group.

I'm sure I'm not the only person here that wants this. I'm sure our group of friends aren't the only group of friends that want this.

Nothing brings me greater joy while playing a game and seeing my name on the other team getting a goal against myself lol.

We're tired of using basic rosters all the time. Its not as fun as it used to be. Gets boring after a while.

Kinda like how Fifa 2021 was. ACTUALLY FUN.

I don't know what EA is doing. But c'mon everyone, ITS IN THE GAME!!!!
