New franchise features question

Question

So in regards to the new free agent negotiations system.

Take for example the NTC and PLAYER REQUESTS and PROMISES mechanics.

Will this information still be viewable after the player is signed? Will I be able to go into the player card and see what teams are on his NTC and that I promised him first line minutes, or will that info be lost to the ether like items of years past?

Are power play preferences for players available for view now? It looks like that hasn't been fixed. When viewing the free agents pool part of the fog of war report is that the player fits on one of the power play units. Once that player is signed the info for where he fits is nowhere to be found.

In addition to my last post of concerns its things like this that drive me nuts and the fact that these things slip through the cracks are the exact reason I've not purchased this game the lasts 4 years.

Not to mention missing preference templates for draft prospects, as “carry” “efficient” and “don’t block” are missing for forwards, and all combinations of “balanced/balanced” “hold line/balanced” “hold line/shoot” are never generated.I will check this the first thing I do when the game is released. Simulate a season and start looking at generated playmakers, snipers and defensemen.Not sure if asking a player to change his position or player type will matter here, but it feels like the preferences must somehow adapt. Snipers with grinder preferences will be weird (like it was in NHL 24), at least if it's 100% of the time. I can live with strange preferences on rare occasions, where you are surprised to see an unusual player, but some preferences being left out completely is very annoying and bad.

Edit:Ok I see from the video that the teams the player will allow to be traded to are viewable...But the question regarding things like player requests and promises + player strategy and preferences still stands...Player power play strategy preferences are nowhere to be found after signing the player. What improvements has been made to coaches strategy templates and player preference templates?&nbsp;

Yes, the same tab with the accepted teams or what not on the player card. That shows promises and season goals.

Yeah I saw that too. I just keep answering my own questions two seconds after I ask lol.

But questions still remain regarding strategies and preferences between coaches and players. Players have no indicator for power play strategy preference.

There has to be info on power play strategy preferences for coaches and players. Not to mention missing preference templates for draft prospects, as “carry” “efficient” and “don’t block” are missing for forwards, and all combinations of “balanced/balanced” “hold line/balanced” “hold line/shoot” are never generated.

Any luck on this one? It’s usually after the first two or so drafts no prospects get generated with carry efficient and don’t block
