WOC Its Time for Club Unlocks to go bye bye.

Especially when your team doesn't get to play that much so you're forced to slog through pretty much the entire game with an unoptimized team in horrendous junior stadiums. To make matters worse there is a fair chance your team's jerseys will reset anyway; what a joke

I suggested last year to add in a club store for GMs, maybe even a club currency thats earned from club games to spend on club uniforms, logos, arenas, arena customizations etc. Level unlocks can still be a thing, I think it was level 10 you were able to get the chest logo. Basically the ability to buy what you want while still having progression with what you can actually customize.

Tired of hockey bags myself. went through around 50+ bags by now and finally got a stock uniform we wanted but this is the only thing we got that we actually wanted.

Yep, I've suggested this a few times. There are all sorts of things we can grind for.. but doing the SAME grind every year just seems unnecessary. A cool feature would also have your fans travel better/ pack your stadium better if you're doing well.. and the arena is mostly empty if you're playing poorly. Let me grind THAT, over hoping I unlock the same club logo I've used for how many years. They allowed us to transfer our club.. allow us to transfer our banners and other things. 

That's now the nature of games. Its built to keep you playing their game. I remember someone saying that you don't just "play video games" anymore, its I play "insert specific game here" because most games want to keep your attention on them and give you a reason to be playing their game over someone else's. That is the live service system that games are built on now. Not as fun but its what everyone is doing nowadays.

Tru dat. Video games have become a shell of their former selves. Sad to say but the 360/ps3 days were the golden era of gaming. Best NHL's, Cod's, Bf's. We had it so dang good back then. 

The problem is unlocks more comfortably fit in a persistent Games as a Service model.  For GaaS, there is only one version of the game across years so whatever you unlock stays relevant for a longer period of time.  In many ways NHL functions as a GaaS product, except we are buying a new version every year. (Note- I know we don't have to buy it annually, but to get the latest gameplay enhancements and the online populations, your are stuck in the annual cycle).  There does seem to some flexibility opening up in the system as NHL 26 let you carry over some of your EASHL club's info from NHL 25.  Ultimately, if they are going to keep pumping out yearly games but feature all these samey unlocks, they should allow a lot more to carry from version to version.
