Re: CREATION ZONE UPDATES

Roadmap to better creation zone in NHL video games.

@EA_Aljo 

In here I will tell you what kind of changes we need for the creation zone. EA Sports updated the creation zone to NHL 24. The changes were mainly good, but still is things, which should be improved, that we get better creation zone to game. Here are the things that should be added to the creation zone.

CREATE PLAYER

• Option "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 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.

CREATE TEAM

• More 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.

• 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 flags as a logo in team creation

• 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.

• Possibility write team name to jersey. Like on NY Rangers jersey, where team name would be in place of the logo.

@Juhani_91_91You have great ideas, but I'm afraid nothing will get better. We have asked the possibility to create helmetless players and "none" play by play name for years but nothing has happened.

For player attributes I'd like to have a system where you choose the player type and the game generates the attributes. So if I create a playmaker, the game generates the attributes for a playmaker, and I can still edit them. That would make player creation much faster.

As someone who creates hundreds of players there needs to be a more user friendly way to go through the list. scrolling through the list from top to bottom can take forever. Even after editing a player maybe not go to the top of the list stop at it. Sort by A B C where I can select C and go to the names that start with C. Its very time consuming going from A to the bottom if you have over 800 players created.

@olavi4
I suspect the same, that EA Sports not be interested to do anything, because we're offline players and of them online players are more important than offline players. It has been seen years.

I had an idea, that I would be create Jokerit alumni team to NHL 24, but thanks to EA Sports it's not be possible. Here is reasons, why it's not possible.
a. they remove lot old equipments from NHL 24.
b. we can't upload own logos to the game.

EA Sport add Jokerit logo and jerseys to NHL 23, but only players, which playing online game modes were able to use them. About me this was wrong.

EA Sports remove lot off equipments from NHL 24, I scare, that this is just the beginning. I'm not be surprise, if they remove lot of goalie equipments from the next game.
