Create Helmetless players

Importing rosters is huge. That way people will keeping buying the new game regardless.

Totally agree Barrasso should be in the game and also should be in the Hockdy Hall of Fame too.

For his play by play name I just use Barbario?

It sounds close enough in games lol

Have you joined our discord group with all the Alumni players?

Best way to show EA what we want is by adding pictures to the posts.

I'll be requesting some different player models in the next couple days here and I'll show pics of how OUR player models look better than EA sometimes.

Like I want a young prime Mario Lemieux and Jagr. Not the old player models we hot in NHL 22. I created both of those players from their primes and it looks and feels way better on the ice.

Was watching Slapshot last night in Netflix. How cool would it be to make the Charlestown Cheifs and everybody from that team?

Creating helmetless players would lets us do that. 

Also be fun if we could add fun things like glasses, black eyes and no front teeth for the players.

Then we could make movie hockey characters like the Hansen Brothers n Trailer Park Boys 

I think Burrows also works as a play by play name for Barrasso.

For goalies whose name is not in play by play I just use 'Goalie'. 

Here's hoping we get this.option in the newest patch 

Thanks 

This option wasn't included in the latest patch. I'm still holding out hope. But if not I hope its in NHL 23.

Roster Sharing doesn't work for creating Alumni Teams if we have to put helmets on everyone.

While I'm very happy with the roster sharing and other issues that were corrected in this patch, I have to say that I'm very disappointed that the option to create a player without a helmet or a goalie with at least one vintage goalie mask still isn't an option.  The NHL series on the 360 had several vintage goalie masks available and they're in the game on so many Alumni teams (that also have players/goalies with NO helmets).  Here's a pic of my created Cesare Maniago for the Minnesota North Stars.  While he looks great, he would look soooo much better if he was wearing a vintage goalie mask like he wore when he played.  I just don't understand why we at least can't have that option.  We've been asking for it for years now and we're never provided any explanation re: why it's gone from Create a Player (given it used to be in the game).  It's also very odd that Jacques Plante was the first goalie to invent and wear a vintage goalie mask yet he wears no mask on the Alumni Habs team.  The devs put a TON of work adding so many graphical items and jerseys into the game that I'd wager nobody asked for.  This is why I find it so puzzling re: the absence of the vintage goalie masks.  Please let us know why this is continually skipped over.  Thank you very much!  Cheers!

@AtishksinghThey did add a bunch but still no Barrasso, Zalapski , Worsley, Maniago, Kamensky or Siltanen just to name a few. Not to say than I'm unhappy with the huge number of additional names this year. But some of these missing names are kind of glaring omissions.

The name “Kaminsky” is available.

That’s the one I used for Kamensky. It’s close enough

Real bummer this option wasn't added in the latest patch. With it being the most wanted request at the moment I thought there was a chance they'd actually add it. Ah well, hopefully in the next patch. Would love to create 70's rosters and share through roster sharing, but this option needs to be in for that to be satisfying.

I truly hope this is not the case, but I’ve been asking for the ability to make helmet-less players for years. I vaguely remember getting a response along the lines of the NHL doesn’t want any players represented without the proper equipment or some other legal mumbo jumbo. This leads me to believe that we may never get what we want. 

However, and I don’t play EASHL or any other game modes so I’m not sure if this is the case or not, but I’m pretty sure I’ve read that you have the option of not wearing a helmet in some of those modes. 

So, if that’s the case, and we’re making players for offline use only, then I don’t see why we can’t have the option.

If only EA had not fixed the “no helmet” bug from 4 years ago.

If you didn’t know about it, basically all you had to do was add  a shield to the old school JOFA helmet, save, then back out. When you started a game the player wasn’t wearing a helmet.

It was glorious! Then EA found out about it and took it away from us.
