Create Helmetless players
I hope that we get a patch soon for 22 that allows us to make helmetless players for offline mode. I make classic rosters and it SUCKS having to put a helmet on players that NEVER wore one like Bobb...
Forum Discussion
I completely agree.
I posted this comment re: NHL 20 re: the lack of a no helmet option for create a player along with there being no option for vintage goalie masks.
I also posted a similar comment re: NHL 21 for the same issue!

There were several other comments posted by other users for both of these years. If the Alumni players included in the game can have a "no helmet" option there is no reason we can't create players without helmets. Also, there are several goalies within the Alumni teams that have the old school Friday the 13th hockey masks so why can't we have that option for created goalies as well? The last NHL game produced for the 360 had this option. NHL2K8 by 2K Sports had the vintage goalie mask option! Actually, two versions with logos and color options!! That was 13 years ago! Come on EA. This is not cool at all.
The only conclusions I can come up with are that either the moderators don't read these forum postings or they simply don't care since they're the only game in town. In any case, what a HUGE disappointment that once AGAIN in NHL 22 they didn't add what the customers wanted.
I also challenge the moderator to answer these postings with an answer containing substance (my previous questions over the last two years have been responded with crickets). Please don't give me an answer like "the NHL requires helmets now" or something of that nature. This whole gaming experience is a fantasy simulation. There are no helmets on many Alumni players and there are no helmets on the CHEL players. There's no valid reason we shouldn't be able to create players without helmets. Period.
EA is testing my loyalty and patience beyond the limits.
@T2HDSpeak my brother. But we don't need to throw insults out there.
Many of my friends bought 22 and say they really like it.
They did add TONS of play by play names this year.
But ya we definitely need 22 or hopefully NHL 23 to have these things included
Be sweet too if we could have a proper player card for created players instead of a grey outline pic.
Lastly I'd LOVE for the arena announcer to be able to announce a created players name after a goal.
@AtishksinghThanks. Not meaning to be insulting. Just constructive criticism backed by my factual experience. My opinion? They did add some things but it's extremely frustrating when year after year they don't respond to messages and don't add what the customers want. I also like NHL 22 but am still disappointed by their create a player shortcomings. Be well and stay safe!
Really hoping for a patch for this soon.
We needs this for NHL 23 for sure
Now with customizable leagues being a thing it would be so much fun to recreate old eras like original 6 or the the 70's for franchise and season mode. If we could also be allowed to create players without helmets to go with that, that would be so awesome.
I think considering how popular a request this has been this past year, I'd say it's now or never for EA to give us this option. They must know by now we want it, so if they don't add it this year I don't think they ever will.
I'm hopeful though. But man if they don't add it that's gonna be disappointing.
