NHL 27 Realistic Must Have's:

I am putting down simple realistic add on's for NHL 27 that do not require any new licensing with external corporations .

- Be a pro: 

  1. Be a pro has vastly improved I will give EA that, however I believe that small tweaks like more interaction with your pro off the ice like an option to have team practices and on ice drills that can benefit your players attributes and build chemistry would be beneficial to everyone.
  2. Secondly, add in the all star game, 4 nations, olympics (without formally calling it the olympics)
  3. Lastly, please make it more rewarding to be good defensively and to add to performance score without having to score goals or put up points

- Franchise Mode:

  1. Please please please bring in LTIR, retiring jersey numbers, team practices, more interaction off ice, and interviews as the GM to clarify the direction of the team. 
  2. THE MAIN THING IN THIS ENTIRE FORUM IS THIS, PLEASE BRING IN LIVE SEASON STARTING DATES, if the NHL season is on say January 24th then I want the option to start January 24th with the current record of that team and updated overalls and rosters to that point. IT IS INCREDIBLY BORING TO HAVE TO START IN SEPTEMBER WHEN THE SEASON IS OVER. IN FACT IT IS INFURIATING!
  3. And as I stated before, please bring in the all star game, skills competition, 4 nations, olympics (without calling it the olympics if need be) and just allow more fun things to do. 

Franchise Mode has improved but there is a lot of work left to do

Gm Connected would be a cool add on too but I am not expecting the moon. BUT PLEASE DO THESE THINGS TO FRANCHISE MODE OR AT LEAST THE STARTING DATE OPTION TO START IN SEASON LIVE!

  • Kinda crazy that adding a game mode that's been requested consistently for a decade, one which has already been in the game before and every other sports game has, is asking for the moon

  • Although your requests have merit. You have to remember. You are dealing with EA here. The franchise that rarely if any. Takes suggestions from those that buy and play their product. And its current rank as the 190th game to be played, having 189 above them. Doesnt bode well for any significant changes, other than the player selected for 27s cover. Problems dont get resolved. So what do you think your chances of just 1 of your suggestions coming to fruition?

  • they also should add custom goalie masks for custom teams. Im tired of having to find a random european teams helmet that has the same team colors or just using the plain boring white one. 

    they also should add the option to add the echl league to franchise. would add a third team and might be harder to manage but you could play your younger prospects that arent neccesarily ready for the ahl. and it would be more realistic. doesnt have to be permanent but could be an optional add on. 

  • For Franchise mode I'm tired of having a tear down or out of contention for playoffs team in the season and seeing the stands packed with glow up sticks like it's the game 1 of the Stanley cup finals.... when it actually is game 62 of a tankathon season no one want to watch that! I think they should implement adaptive fan attendance depending on team record and status weather it is big market small market that would be pretty cool and visually appealing. 

    Another thing is with the development of voice detection and AI I want to see more custom commentary seriously EA..... you could make this really cool.

    I'd also love to see a more of a customized scouting panel with scouting teams instead of scouts where you have to rotate through regions you should have a team in each league in the content.

    Also maybe an overall refresh on FA for example make it a mini game like the trade deadline and fix the AI logic to resign an RFA that has elite or top 6 potential over paying Jeff skinner 5 million dollars and locking themselves in cap hell.

    I do agree with most of what u said however I do love the glow sticks in the regular season 

  • With franchise mode they need to allow you too use the ECHL affliations as well.  And allow you too loan players to European teams like NHL teams do.

  • All Id want is for them to actually fix bugs and glitches that have been in the game for multiple years.

    For World of Chel, it would be great to see the level color (blue, purple, etc.) of the players on your team in the lobby. This would help you quickly tell whether someone might be trolling or if they’re playing seriously.

    Hybrid control users deserve icon passing. The fact we don't get it as it was sold as a new feature is a joke. No matter what control style you use, you should get access to it. Also stop making putting new jerseys in the game tied to the updated rosters. It defeats the purpose of roster sharing. I should be able to use any roster I want, and have full access to all the jerseys in the game. On icings, when the opponent gets an icing and I change lines, don't show me the previous line is on the ice when they're clearly not. I know it's a minor thing, but if they can't fix small things why would I have any hope they'd fix anything else. I got a PS3 emulator and played NHL 2K7 and 2K8, both are far superior to any EA NHL game we've gotten in over a decade
