Ideas for NHL 26 Be A Pro improvements

Improvements for NHL 26

Be a Pro (that's all I have right now)
Challenges:
Add new challenges in game and/or in dialogue:

- Score one goal on a Power Play
- Score one goal on a breakaway
- Score one goal on a skill-based one-tee
- Score one goal on a spin-a-rama
- Score one goal using a deke/trick move
- Score one goal in a shoot-out
- Score X goals on/using Y etc...

- Don't allow any goals on one Penalty Kill
- Block 3 shots in one game
- Perform 3 successful poke-checks in one game
- Perform 3 big-hits in one game
- Win a fight in one game
- Take no penalties in X games (could be cheesed with sliders)
- etc...

- Complete a shutout in one game
- Allow X goals or less in one game
- Block X shots or more in one game
- Block a shot with a flying poke check in one game
- Don't allow any goals in a shoot-out in any game
- Block one skill-based one-tee in one game
- Perform one goalie-goal in any game
- etc...

Rewards:

- Permanent skill boosts
- Temporary skill boosts
- Trait Points (much needed, far too few awarded in BaP)
- X-Factor points (hard challenges, multi-game challenges, etc.)
- X amount of Money
- Specific perk unlock for free (temporary perks for small challenges, permanent perk for multi-game challenges, etc.)

New things to add:
- New rewards for meter milestones (i.e. Trait Points, X-Factor points)
- Increase meter amount
- New Meter (ideas?)
- Requirements/challenges to become Captain or Alternate Captain (don't give the C to player right after they trade to a new team etc...)
- Dialogue/Persuasion to name/change Captain and Alternate Captain
- Allow player to have dialogue/persuasion attempts to influence teammate trades during off-season (please keep X player, linemate, goalie, etc.)
- More GM dialogue/cut scenes
- More Coach dialogue/cut scenes
- More Teammate dialogue/cut scenes

    Something like starting at the end of your senior season in high school and having to choose to play in college or go other routes to make the NHL.

    You're very welcome. Yes. It's great to get all those details. Vague messages saying make the game better don't get sent over. Constructive, detailed posts are the ones that do. Thanks again!

    Thanks. I just want to add, these suggestions are about improving and adding variety to the already existing systems in the Be a Pro game mode. So, it's not a giant wish list, but suggestions to flesh out these systems more. I think a lot of people love to bash this game and just say "make it better!" but providing actual suggestions with reasonable expectations is the right move, I think.

    • Add fight wins/losses category (make it cool to be an enforcer in general)
    • Add enforcer dialogue/cut scenes
    • Add cut scene to challenge specific players to a fight on another team before the game (Matt Rempe, Arber Xhekaj, Ryan Reeves, fighters).
