Hey everyone,
Check out the blog post over on the NHL 25 website for more details on what to expect in Franchise mode!
EA SPORTS NHL 25 Franchise Mode Deep Dive Blog
I have a couple of questions after watching the deep dive video.
1- Can I turn off morale like previous games? (I still feel EA’s morale engine is not perfect, for example when the morale lost told me Casey Cizikas, Matt Martin and Cal Clutterbuck all disliked each other even though they played on the same line for almost a decade)
2- Can I fully edit my strategies regardless of the head coach? I’ve been asking for a couple seasons since it’s been taken away and I saw it was grayed out yet again before you had to go in to talk to the head coach to change
3- Does everything have to be conversation based? Feels too tedious and long for someone like myself who plays every game to have to do in between games
4- will the CPU AI logic actually sign their RFA’s and also will there be more realistic contract negotiations? Prior games had players asking way too much money for roles they were not filling.
That’s something I was wondering myself.
I always turned off morale because of how bad the morale system was for years.
will it still allow us to talk to players about contracts?
Can we talk to coaches about changing player types/positions?
lots of questions about that. Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if they removed the option to turn off morale so we have to focus on their conversation engine just like they took away our ability to edit players to force us to use their X factors and dual position system
