@EA_Aljo EA Sports did update creation zone to NHL 24. Updates by EA Sports were good and a step in the right direction. But there are still things that should be updated. Here is some ideas, which should add for cretion zone. I think, that these ideas help both offline- and online players in player- and team creation. CREATE PLAYEROption "none" to the "play by play name" list in player creation. In team creation we have option "none" in the "play by play team name" list. If we not find right last name in the "play by play name" list, would be better , that we can choose option "none" and commentar would rather say's to the player's number than wrong last name. This not could be difficult add to the game.Removed equipments back into the game. EA Sports has remove lot of older equipments in the NHL 24. It was sadly note, when created players. Would be important get these removed equipments back to the game. When we create players, would be nice, that we could choose for created players right equipments, what this player has used in he's carreer. Now it's unpossible, when EA Sports has remove lot of older sticks, skates and gloves in the game.Same face creator tool into the game, what we can use in FC 24. We've good face creator tool in FC 24, we can create with it authentic looking players or managers to the game. This face creator tool would be big step forward in player creation.Possibility create helmetless playersCREATE PLAYER AND CREATE TEAMUpdated locations list. The current locations list is missing many cities from Europe and North America. The current location list doesn't even include all NHL cities, what is very strange. Sunrise what is home city of Florida Panterher,s is one of cities what is missing at current location list. EA Sports has made great job, when they updated "play by play name "list to NHL 22. It's strange, that they not have done same to location list.CREATE TEAMMore jersey styles to use. Now there is 89 different jersey style, but list doesn't even include all NHL jerseys. For example Detroit Red Wings and Seattle Kraken jerseys are missing as also Dallas Stars, NY Rangers and Chicago Blackhawks home jerseys. Would be nice , if we get all NHL jerseys to use in team creation. Also, it would be nice if we could use the Bauer, Warrior and Nike jersey styles in team creation.More logos to use. Now we've in use NHL logo, some vintage logos, ECHL logos, different letter logos, custom logos, Adidas Hockey Teams logos. Would be nice, if we get AHL- , OHL-, WHL- and QMHJL logos to the use, as also european club teams logos and national team logos. We can upload logos via internet to the game in 2K NBA. Hopefully EA Sports addded this option to the game. Would be nice, if we could upload logos to the game. Thus we could our favourite teams to the game.Possibility use female players in the created team. Now we can use female player in the created teams, but only female players, which we have create to game. For example if we want Sarah Nurse or Hillary Knight to our created team, we can't directly select them from national teams. If we want them to the team, our need create them to game. To this should come change. Possibility use numbers in the team name. This has been possible last time at NHL 17, but not after that. This need return back to the game soon than possible.

@EA_Aljo We need more logos to team creation. Would be, if we get more logos to vintage logos category. Would be nice if we get european logos to team creation. It would be best, if we could upload logos to the game via internet like in 2K NBA. Here is few logos what we need.

@EA_Aljo Here are some ideas on how we can improve player and team creation in NHL 25.Possibility to choose the height of the player between 5'3" - 6'9" (160 cm - 206 cm). Now minimum height of the player is 5'5" (165 cm) in NHL and 5'3" (160 cm) in FC 24. Now maximum height og the player is 6'9" (206 cm) in NHL 24 and 6'7" (200 cm) in FC 24. If we would be possibility to choose the height of the player between 5'3" - 6'9" (160 cm - 206 cm) it would better, because some female players are under 5'5 tall (165 cm). The minimum player height is 5'5" (165 cm) and the maximum height is 7'0" (213 cm) when we create players for Madden NFL.Face creator tool, what we get using in FC 24. We have received use this awesome face creator tool many years in FIFA games and FC 24, but not in NHL games. Why EA Sports can't add this face creator tool to the NHL games ?More jerseys to team creation. We have 89 different jersey models in NHL 24. Those jerseys are from CCM and Adidas. We have shirts from seven different manufacturersin FC 24. Those shirts are from Adidas, Nike, Umbro, Puma, Jordan, New Balance and Hummel. Would be nice if we get more jerseys models to the team creation. For example from Fanatics, Bauer, CCM, Warrior, Nike, Athletic Knit and Jersey53. Would be awesome, we could create totaly own jersey styles.

Would be awesome, we could create totaly own jersey styles.@EA_Aljo Here is few new thing, what we need to player- and team creation.PLAYER CREATIONOption "none" to the "play by play name" list. This option can already be found from team creation. EA Sports this not could be difficult add also to player creationWe were able to choose freely year in the section "Year drafted", when we create players in NHL 23. EA Sports changed this in NHL 24 game, now we can't choose year freely in the section "Year drafted". EA Sports this should bringing it back to what it was in NHL 23.Removed equipments should returned to the game. EA Sports removed lot off gloves, skates and sticks from the NHL 24. Every players not use newest equipment. I wish that EA Sport returns all removed skater- and goalie equipments to the game.Should be possible choose that the playing position can be forward and defenceman at same player. I mean, that now when we create player, which primary position is center, his possible secondary position can only be left- or right wing. Would be nice, that possible secondary position could be left- or right defenceman. For example Dustin Byfuglien and Brett Burn was earlier forwards and later they move to defenceman.TEAM CREATIONPossibility write team name to the jersey, like in NY Rangers jersey. Would be nice, if we could write team name horizontal, diagonally or curved.

While we're adding new jersey templates, can we get matching sock templates? We still are lacking matching sock templates from jersey templates added in what? 18? 19?

Offline Creators Wishlist NHL 25

@EA_Aljo

Here is some ideas, which should add for cretion zone. I think, that these ideas help both offline- and online players in player- and team creation.

Same face creator tool into the game, what we can use in FC 24. We've good face creator tool in FC 24, we can create with it authentic looking players or managers to the game. This face creator tool would be big step forward in player creation.
Possibility create helmetless players

CREATE PLAYER AND CREATE TEAM

Updated locations list. The current locations list is missing many cities from Europe and North America. The current location list doesn't even include all NHL cities, what is very strange. Sunrise what is home city of Florida Panterher,s is one of cities what is missing at current location list. EA Sports has made great job, when they updated "play by play name "list to NHL 22. It's strange, that they not have done same to location list.

Possibility use female players in the created team. Now we can use female player in the created teams, but only female players, which we have create to game. For example if we want Sarah Nurse or Hillary Knight to our created team, we can't directly select them from national teams. If we want them to the team, our need create them to game.

Possibility use numbers in the team name. This has been possible last time at NHL 17, but not after that. This need return back to the game soon than possible.

I would like see a way to create players a lot quicker. The ability to create 2,000 odd players is great but so time consuming. I was going to create every NHL player from the 90s. I failed the challenge and never got near creating that many players due to how time consuming it is. I was thinking maybe the ability to create a template, where the sliders on the attributes screen are already set in place. For example a template for an overall 75 two way forward overall 80 dman, overall 85 sniper etc. Choose the template you want then all you need to do is fine tune some attributes if you want and create the players name, look etc. I’ve created players, like a grinder who’s overall is 75, finished creating that one then had to create the same type of player, adjusting the sliders exactly to what I just did with the last player. Hope that makes sense.

With college football and Madden getting an online creation suite that should allow for custom logo importation and mass player creations it is imperative that NHl is also adding a similar system. We should also always be able to edit genrated players in franchise mode. No more blank outlines for any player profiles; if there is no picture it must show the player avatar. These are all mimimum expecations.

@henryclay1844 I 100% agree with this. NBA 2K has systems like these, so why can’t NHL?

@EA_Aljo Why we can't choose freely year in the section "Year drafted", when we create players in NHL 24.
PROBLEMS:
We can't choose freely year in the section "Year drafted", when we create players in NHL 24.
When we create player and select this player's Birth Year is 1964, we can select a year or to option "undrafted" in the section "Year drafted", but if we select this player's Birth Year is 1963 or earlier, we cannot select a year. If players birth year is 1963 or earlier, only option in the section "Year drafted" is "undrafted"
SITUATION IN NHL 24
This video shows, what situation is in NHL 24. Year drafted in NHL 24 (youtube.com)
SITUATION IN NHL 23
We can choose freely year in the section "Year drafted", when we create players in NHL 23.
This video shows, what situation is in NHL 23. Year drafted in NHL 23 (youtube.com)
HOW FIX THIS PROBLEM ?
Now earliest year is 1983, which we can choose in the section "Year drafted". The first NHL draft organized in 1963. Would be nice that 1963 would be earliest year, which we can choose in the section "Year drafted" , when we come to create players in NHL 25 and we could choose in the future freely year in the section ""Year drafted"

Unbelievable, Swiss Life Arena is in it's 3rd season the second biggest Arena in Switzerland, with incredible lighting in ZSC Lions colors outside, which is breath taking over Zurich. We have the biggest screen cube in Switzerland. Yet EA is sleeping with making it authentic...frustrating..
