CAP Menu Suggestions NHL 26

Long time customer here, rarely post.  Just a couple quick suggestions for NHL 26 in terms of the Create A Player menu.  

  1. Can we get an option to assign the team right in the player Details menu somehow?  I create 100's of players and it's a pain to scroll all the way down to W or Z to assign the team after they're created.  It's an extra step.  It would be much easier if there was just an option inside the Details page.  We already have 'Pro Team' and 'Drafted By.'  Maybe change 'Pro Team' to 'Pro Rights' and add 'Current Team' or something similar.  
  2. I like that the 'Year Drafted' gives you options based on birthday but it's out of order.  You have to set the birthday way lower in the menu and then scroll back up to set the 'Year Drafted.'  The amount of times I've forgotten to do this can't be counted.  Maybe move Height, Weight, and DOB higher in the menu to solve this. 
  3. Similar to 'Year Drafted', 'Player Type' is out of order.  If you're creating a defensemen you have to scroll past 'Player Type', set the position, then go back up.  Simply reversing these two options would solve this.
  4. Not a big deal but it would be nice to set the 'Country' first, then have a list of applicable States, Provinces, Cities available based off of that selection.  It would make creation slightly quicker but more than anything I think it would just be a nicer feature. 
  5. When creating prospects, if you make a underage player from Sweden, you can't assign him/her to a team, but they appear in the Franchise mode Entry Draft in the SHL later on.  This is actually fine and it works for Russians, Czechs, Fins, Americans, etc but not for Canadian prospects (15yo or younger).  For some reason those players appear in Rest Of World.  There are current 15 year olds playing the the WHL that you can't assign there.  Can we just make the Canadian CAPs default to the CHL like all the other prospects do with their nationalities, or even better the particular CHL league based on whatever Province they're from?  
  6. My biggest request.  Can we please get the computer faces shown throughout the game (not just CAP's but any player missing them).  I exclusively play franchise and after 3-5 years I always lose interest because so many of the players are just blank faces.  It severely effects the look of nearly every menu in Franchise Mode.  I deal with contracts/copyright at work so I know that getting the actual pictures is more complicated than people realize but this could be a nice consolation.  At minimum, maybe just the CAP's.       

I'm not a programmer so I don't know if any of this is easily done but I hope this gets passed on to EA and some of it is considered.  I'm hopeful since I've seen some other suggestions added, like the 'Play by Play Name' auto filling (thanks btw).  Love the game.  Keep up the great work.
