Question

Customization Features:- ability to create jerseys with words on it, and select the font/style (like the rangers jerseys) as of now, we only have the ability to do logos- custom logos, similar to MLB the show, where people can submit there own ideas- custom goalie helmets (use the same tools for the custom logos)- more presentation items for stadiums, especially the on-ice graphicsBe a Pro:&nbsp;- online be a pro, where you start on your junior team with your buddies, and all of you are on the same line, to where you leave each other in the draft, and reunite throughout the seasons/playoffs- ALL STAR GAMES AND WINTER CLASSICS does anything else need to be said- ability to start in youth hockey (or high school), this doesn't need to be realistic teams, just do something as simple as a AI generated 16 team youth league that has a 12 game season or something, to where you get scouted to other junior leagues- with that, other junior leagues, add the USHL, NAHL, BCHL, NCAA and more for more junior realism- more interactiveness (I'll touch on more later)Franchise Mode:&nbsp;- custom trophy/trophy name- I don't play franchise mode as much, so people down below can give there thoughtsWorld Of CHEL:&nbsp;- Make it open world, similar to NBA 2k MyCourt- have the ability to create leagues within WOC (similar to what EA does for F1 24 online seasons)Presentation:&nbsp;- Make it feel like we're on TV... simple as that. sign a deal with ESPN or something to make it feel like the real thing- redo the whole presentation basically, from the commentating to the scorebug, it needs a redo. ESPN+ scorebug would be perfect for the NHL franchise- fix the goal celebration animations, the awkward camera angle we have now is not it. make it where like if someone goes and slams against the boards, theres a camera on the other side. just make it have emotionGameplay:&nbsp;- FIX THE GOALIES, goalies now are bugged through the roof, and have awkward animations we don't see in real life. And goalies in NHL 25 are dependent on the specific height and stance. Goalies like Dustin Wolf who are great in real like, when playing with them in CHEL it feels impossible to make a save- Hitting needs a revamp as alwaysLEAVE YOUR THOUGHTS BELOW, WOULD LOVE TO HEAR MORE

Hey there. Thanks for all the feedback. Really appreciate you taking the time to share it with us.As far as custom content for online modes goes, we have to be very careful about that. Most likely allowing text on jerseys as well as custom logos, would lead to a lot of offensive content being created.&nbsp;
Be a Pro definitely needs some updating. Hopefully, we'll see that in a future game. The team is aware of the community's feedback on this as well.
I'd love to see leagues added to WoC. I know that's been suggested before. It's a pretty big undertaking, but would be really great to have.
It would be great to see some big presentation changes. There's a lot of people super passionate about presentation that would love this.
Goalies are always a challenging position. Over time, they've improved a lot. We're all aware of this year's feedback so hopefully, we'll see improvements in the future.Thanks again!

It should include sponsor tags over the views of the city during the pregame including new announcers.

Totally understandable for online custom content leading to offensive content. Please don't let this ruin it for offline modes, however. It would be awesome to get custom music and logo creation for offline modes.&nbsp;

I'll pass it on for you. Thanks!

for the custom content, couldn't we just put guidelines and stuff to prevent it? similar to what we already have for team name creation. although we could have full custom logos have to go through a "preview" from the devs before allowing it or something, but thats a lot more work
