Suggestions for Career and Franchise Mode Improvements in NHL 26

The Career mode in NHL 25 lacks several key elements to make the experience more immersive and realistic. It would be beneficial to add richer interactions between the player, the coach, the managers, and the team. Currently, the training sessions are too limited and could be much more realistic and impactful on player development. Additionally, allowing players to start very young, at age 14, in summer camps or junior leagues, would add a deeper dimension to a player's career.

Furthermore, the Franchise mode could be improved by allowing players to start in any league, including those not currently available in the game. This would provide more diversity and strategic choices, allowing players to build a career at their own pace and create new dynamics for each team.

These improvements would greatly enrich the overall experience of the game, offering more flexibility and opportunities to shape the player's journey. While it may be too late for NHL 25, these suggestions could be considered for NHL 26 if the developers are open to them.

 

I hope a dev will answer my message or not :D

  • It’s so crazy that you can’t even like get send down to the ahl for a bad performance a lot of room for improvement 

  • nhl 25 be a pro mode/career: That Can you be selected for the Swedish national team or similar during your career as in fifa24 and certainly in 25

  • This will never happen, because there is no ROI for making this mode better. The only mode that gets significant development is HUT, because that’s where the money comes from.

    We can’t even wear our own jerseys in EASHL lol.

    Crazy really, why not put more emphasis on both games.  Divide the work and the NHL will be as good as FIFA, but maybe that's just my theory.  Still playing NHL since they released the first game.  And if you look purely logically, the Fifa games have come much further in development than the NHL, yes except for the online stuff.  But as I said, for someone who is not interested in online sports games like these, I'd rather run my own career and develop my old man that way.   yes regardless of which you understand enough 🙂.  But absolutely sick as hell

  • forgot one more thing about the age. I can think that you could wish the age of your player or to be a pro mode, i.e. if you were born for example in 1980 so that when you start your career you are exactly the age you choose but that is not the case today.  And more cities, in any case, in Sweden where you were born, not just Gothenburg, etc. more generally, but that's with a wish of course.

  • PLEASE DEAR GOD PUT CONNECTED FRANCHISE MODE BACK IN THE GAME. 

    It’s been over a decade since we had the only decent game mode in the nhl series. The franchise mode is great, but solo offline play will never be the same as playing in a connected franchise. Game 7 OT of the cup finals against buddy creates a level of dialed in not seen since the likes of the great Peter LeFleur.  Beefing up the back end at the deadline to turnbuckle Terry’s soft forwards like Chara to Pacioretty gets the fellas going. 

    If there is a god, please answer this one simple request.
