What are your biggest requests all? What would make this game better for you?

Online Franchise is something we really want to bring back. I don't know if/when it will happen though.Here's the thing about the Winter Classic. It's a very expensive and resource heavy addition that doesn't get played much. It's something most people play once and move on from. We have to get the licensing for the arena and authentically replicate it. It's a pretty big expense for something that doesn't really get a lot of use. So, the money and resources that go into that can be put to better use in other, more popular, areas of the game. Hopefully, we'll have the bugs you're talking about addressed in the next game. Thanks for the feedback. It's genuinely appreciated.

My wishlist:auction house: more filters - did you ever search for a goalie mask? Besides, why don´t have these cards a team name anymore?Rivals: there should be a database where you can view all your games (and opponents)each game should be fully recorded and savedmatchmaking:I don't believe in the randomness principle when it comes to matchmaking (there are streaks of games with the same goalkeeper, the same jerseys or club emblems, or from the same countries…). While searching for an opponent, it would be nice to have a matchmaking table where the search is displayed. On one side, my team would be shown, and on the other side, potential opponents would scroll throughAn overview of the players who are currently online, including their statistics and originWhy is the goalkeeper only allowed to change his mask? Why not also the pads? The players' movement patterns should be adapted to the game situationsWhen players come off the (penalty) bench and enter the game, it seems like they are only focused on getting to their position. If I'm not controlling the player, he will even try to skate into the offensive zone during a counterattack, even though the opponent already has the puck in the neutral zoneWhen the goalie plays the puck behind the net, he occasionally gets stuck on the goalpost when returning (even if I'm not controlling him myself)

The ability to start at the end of the season in franchise mode or update franchise rosters based on real life trades and signings

rockstar8080 You´re right, there are many positives for me too: I like the gameplay, I almost play HUT and love the challenges to earn good players for free.

Add all WHA logos not under copyright, make a more advanced teambuilder, be able to use the minor league stadiums for the regular teambuilder not in any mode, more commentating options and that's it for me besides getting rid of "pricey pond hockey" GET RID OF IT RIGHT NOW RIGHT NOW RIGHT NOWWWWWW and IMO, the gameplay of hockey itself its perfectly fine.

Add college teams and a few iconic rinks like Ralph Engelstad, Marriucci, Yost, Mathews, Alfond. The rights can't cost much more than free.

Why do most CHEL games seem exactly the same( 3v3 or 6v6 )
It feels like it is just a race up and down the ice .. and whoever can get 2 or 3 steps gets a goal... I have a fast loadout and these get the Wheels trait to activate at their blue line and "keep it on" when they are not skating in a straight line .. all the way into the goal line and they score a goal on their back hand at the side of the goalie..
if its an Ai goalie they take useless shots from just over the blue line and somehow the goalie has trouble with it so he can't pass ..
Its doesnt even feel like a hockey game Its just a race.. I know Olympics are coming up this year
but ... I think we all paid for a Hockey game

To be honest I know there is massive community playing online but for me as a offline player is not too much important online function but some function in be a pro I miss… and the big missing function on BaP is IIHF … why you cannot in your career if you don’t play Stanley cup be able join to your country in iihf tournament ? Like in FC ?

1 Remove all Skins/PreBuilds.
2 Put the Hitting controls back to what it was. Wind up hitting is Awful and Unrealistic.
Stop Removing Features that people actually enjoy. Add Stick Flex and Blade curve,Skate Radius. Bring back the The skills Course for Free skate. Agility course shot power and target shooting for accuracy.
Make a EASHL Team Store. This way we dont need to wait for Logos Jerseys ect...... We can pick the logos we want instead of the Hockey Bag crap shoot.
Eashl Allow User to Put the winger at the top of the faceoff circle in the offensive zone. That was in previous years and removed for no reason.
Bring Back Match Club size/ goalie. This was another Huge mistake in 25 . Zero reason to remove it.
In 3v3 bring back PowerPlays.
Make Attributes better Ive brought this up in other Post.
Thanks

No i mean some structure explained at tthe very least of how the point system works and more in depth for example getting more less points for shutouts , quitting , not quitting , hattricks etc , and fighting win loss stats would be awesome

I agree there. I think it would need a weekly limit though or at least some form of limitation or people will start all having the exact same character build as one will always be the best and as we all know as gamers we flock to whatever is best for the most part (not saying everyone but we’ve all heard of cookie cutter builds)
