NHL25 Wishlist (hopefully some in NHL24)
- Full presentation back (removed in NHL23) - All NHL teams intro (instead of few teams) - Being able to CONTROL EVERY TEAM in Franchise/Custom League or at least let us have the same league edit...
Forum Discussion
Haha! I wish we could actually speak directly to devs and lead producers to really understand how they see things and why some things are not possible.
I get EA NHL team is small, « tiny » budget. Besides that we don’t get any clear answers. Always the same « we’ll have to wait and see ».
I like how Mike and EA devs have been transparent and honest in most of their videos this year. I just wish we would get actual answers. I prefer a : it won’t be in the game because … instead of maybe in the future and it never happens. Like create helmet less players which has been requested since NHL14.
@EA_Aljo would a Q&A with lead team possible? Could be a form to fill and later answered by Mike or someone else in a video. Honest and transparent answers. I feel like many players would be less frustrated about certain topics if we get the « why » it won’t be added or when it’s happening !

The NHL team really isn't that small. It might not be the size of the bigger games, but it's not like it's a handful of devs in a basement. You can take a look at the credits and see who all is involved.
As far as a Q&A goes, I'd love to see it happen and I know we are going to be better about communication as a whole so we'll have to wait and see what's in store.

I thought the janitor and one dev shared the same office in a small basement somewhere in Canada. 🇨🇦 @EA_Aljo Small and tiny budget compared to other games I meant.
A Q&A would be really welcomed.
I know i’ll spend 500-1k hours in the game, no matter how disappointed I might be about stuff. I’m a dedicated roster creator, offline player only. I enjoy offering to community in a single click a complete rosters with accurate rating, contracts, gear. I just wish I/we could get answers or updates about certain things. Mentioned in my first message of this thread.
I know I’m not the only one. But I don’t know I feel a 6 X 10 min episodes throughout the year to answer community questions or clarify stuff would make a big difference! You would get a lot less messages to read haha.
Instead of having 300+ messages about Pressure System design on the ice or spotlight celebrations, devs come out and explain what’s possible and not.
Food for thoughts
- @NicCrosby87 Here is the thing though. They are very limited in things they can answer and how they answer things. I'm sure so many of the questions that would be asked by the offline community wouldn't get the answers they were looking for.

Thanks for all the feedback on this. Really appreciate it!
Just trying to get back on track with new ideas and easy fixes !
I’m working on a list of templates changes for current and alumni players so they look more a like since we can’t edit generated players.
- Ofc powerbreaks and close zoom on thoose that clean the ice.
Preferably Dallas Stars ice cleaners.
Classy!
