NHL 27 Realistic Must Have's:

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.
