Franchise Mode Initial Thoughts
In my opinion, the conversation system is one of the best additions to franchise mode, I think it will be great for everybody as I actually don’t think you have to use it if you don’t want to. Unfort...

Not sure how far you are in the sim, but how are the prospects? Still no defensemen generating with preferences?
Not surprised about the coaching issue. That’s been an issue since we brought it up years ago and they literally haven’t even said anything about it lol.
are you able to turn convo/morale off without it blowing up the game? The morale system was implemented so poorly i never played with it because they couldn’t figure out how to make it work realistically, unsure if its better now.
also, are you unable to set the lineups now? Like to set the lineups how you want, do you have to talk to the coach everytime? Or can you still swap spots with players
I always turned head coach edit lines off because the coach system was, and still is, trash.
I was just playing around with the mode, using a few different teams for a couple of years only, so I haven’t had a chance to go too deep into the generated prospects. I would assume it’s the same as last year as it seems like all the problems are still there.
You don’t actually have to use the conversation system at all, unless you are trying to upgrade certain stats for a player or try to get them an X Factor. You can offer contracts without talking to the players as well, you would need to speak with them to attempt them to waive a NTC clause though.
You still have full control over the lineup like before, I thought it was a nice touch (although time consuming to go through every player) that you can tell the coach to put any player you want in any position including PP and PK. Helps if you like to sim most of the season to keep the lineup you want even after injuries.
