Hey everyone,
Check out the blog post over on the NHL 25 website for more details on what to expect in Franchise mode!

Thank you for listening with the projected goalies widget!
I am a huge fan of the additional control, but I really hate the conversation engine. If it’s around 10 times faster than it was in previous years it might not be so bad, though. Menu speed is going to be more essential than ever this year.
Okay, now that I’ve read the blog post:
Great questions.
I'll see if I can find some answers and talk about them. Aljo won't be around til Sunday.
Thanks!
We’ve been asking for editing players since they removed it in 2021. Crazy how 4 full years later and we still don’t have it. I’m positive we can’t edit them still since they definitely would’ve highlighted that in their video.
the conversation engine looks sooooooo annoying and tedious lol.
that’s why the won’t give us more than 25 years as a GM, it’ll take 25 years IRL to get through the conversations.
as usual, a neat idea but not great implementation.. way too heavy on it.
there’s tons of new menus, some that are kind of insignificant in my opinion so if the menu responsiveness is as slow as it has been for decades, franchise mode is gonna be even more of a chore.
We cant even blame lack of effort. I assume it was quite a bit of work to get all these conversation choices added to the game, but I’m betting it would’ve been a lot easier to just open up editing and leave the new conversations for the no trade clauses/contract negotiations.
I’ll still give them kudos for the idea they were going for, though.
