Here's my post of the day re: why we should have the ability to create helmetless players AND have vintage goalie masks within the NHL 22.
Last night I was playing NHL2K8 again (still my GO TO hockey game after all these years) and was editing the 1971 Boston Bruins team that I'd unlocked via the Challenges within the game. I'm only two teams away from unlocking all the classic vintage teams. I played one game as the 1993 Kings versus the 1971 Bruins.
Once these teams are unlocked, you can edit the roster within the game for the name and numbers of all the players. The correct data re: their weight, height, left or right, and where they're from etc. is already there for you.
Please take a look at these pictures. You can plainly see that Bobby Orr, Phil Esposito and the rest of the Bruins are on the ice with no helmets. They were all created for the roster without helmets. I didn't even have to create helmetless players. You can also see Gretzky, Kurri, and Robitaille plainly. The 1971 Bruins jerseys did not have the players last names on the jerseys. 2K Sports, it's in the game.
When editing Gerry Cheevers, I had the option of choosing from several vintage goalie masks and could even add a logo, stitches and change the color of the mask. I went with white, no logo and stitches just like Gerry Cheevers wore in real life. Again, 2K Sports, it's in the game.
Please share this with the Developers. If a game that is 14 years old can give the fans what they want, there really is no reason EA can't do the same in this day and age. Especially given how long the loyal customers have been asking for this. Please take note. We want a patch for NHL 22. We don't want to wait yet another year for NHL 23 to come out with these options. You patch and add tons of artwork that seemingly nobody asked for (especially within CHEL). You can do it. Save yourselves and ensure that your customers remain loyal and repeat. There's a limit to everyone's patience.
Thank you.
- T2HD4 years agoRising Veteran@SvenArne123 Amen brother! Yesterday I added 15 classic NHL Arena songs to my custom soundtrack that NHL2K8 offers (as a start). Now when the Blackhawks enter the ice I now hear their theme song "Keys to the City." I've added "Get Ready for This" and many other popular NHL Arena songs to when other teams hit the ice. Because of the awesome job they did of creating the Classic Legends teams, it only takes minutes to name and number the existing players and tweak the goalie equipment. With all this fun in mind, IF the next NHL 22 patch incorporates helmetless players and vintage goalie masks into the game (EA not long ago HAD the vintage goalie masks available within CAP), EA won't lose me as a loyal customer who has been with them since the Sega Genesis days. Devs, PLEASE take notice and give us what we've been asking for within this forum for several years now. Thank you.

March update dropped and still no helmetless player option within CAP. Very disappointing!
- 4 years ago@T2HD It won't be available until at least NHL 23. I bought a new 65 inch tv the other day.
@EABlueberry I would love to also buy a PS5 and NHL 23 in October but hoping for this helemtless players option. - T2HD4 years agoRising Veteran@Atishksingh So sad. They could add helmetless players to NHL22....if they wanted to. Congrats re: the TV!
- 4 years ago@T2HD Thanks buddy. NHL 21 looks amazing on it.
I can only imagine how good NHL 23 will look on it...... - 4 years ago
Could there also be a option where we can put helmets on helmet less players please ?
And have a complete selection of the old style Goalie mask that can be put on ANY & ALL Goelies old & new anywhere , anytime ,any mode.
Also anyway of getting Jason Voorhees different mask for fun ?
- 4 years ago@jamiestang There's is the option. Just go to edit player and put a helmet on them
