Please let us control multiple teams in Franchise!

I have given up long ago on EA ever adding new offline customization options such as a real colour hex pallet, new logos or proper AHL jerseys. However, due to this game’s awful, terrible, garbage simming engine I only find the game fun when i’m actually playing hockey. Thus, I would still like to capitalize on my enjoyment of being creative and playing a good hockey game (gameplay wise) by making my own custom league in franchise. Sadly, I cannot do this due to the fact that I can only control one team and not every team. The whole point of what I am trying to do is to take as much of the CPU out of the experience as possible and having it control 15/16 custom teams very much ruins that point. Thus,  I am forced to play “Play Now” games and manually track and record data (since custom leagues isn’t in the season mode for whatever reason and I don’t want to use another league’s schedule obviously). This whole thing, along with making draft classes out of created players, is a MASSIVE pain in the butt that does not need to be in the game. ONE simple feature would save me so many hours that i would actually play your game. Whereas in reality I did this in NHL 24 and cannot imagine doing the same thing again in a game that offers me no value to putting in so much work. NHL 26 looks and feels better than the past like 5 editions by far, if we can just give a tiny amount of care to the offline community I would greatly appreciate it and I would, without a doubt, by your game for the first time in years.
