BAP
- Put the Junior Season back in
- Fix the AI GM's and their constant roster turnovers
- Fix your overall scaling ie a goalie that consistently posts sub .900 sv every season, should not become a 95ovr by his 5th season
- Put the AHL back in
- Put being demoted to CHL/AHL back in
- Injury tracker ie explain injury, how long you'll be out, etc (just put back in the injury screen from previous games, why was this taken out?)
- Remove/rework the awful story, a defenseman that scores 1 goal in 4 games, in the smallest sample size ever to base a draft position off of, should not go 1st or 2nd overall
- Trade activity tracker
- Fix the still buggy conversations/challenges
- Scale back the handholding ie you should not be getting first line minutes if you get two 5min fighting penalties a game, with no points
-Why are we only ever offered 2 year contracts?
-Ability to negotiate/decline contracts, let us set the term/value of contract we are looking for, what kind of team we want to play for, etc
-Give BAP a salary cap. The insane star studded rosters are so unrealistic
Franchise Mode
-Fix the trade values for real this time
-Fix the awful AI GM's and their mindboggling stupid logic
-Put the ability to edit player position/style back in, so we can work around the awful chemistry system
-Fix the chemistry system. Why are TWF/TWD useless in every single scheme? Make it adaptable. If players have x gp together, let them build chemistry
-Fix the coaching system. Why are coaches completely unable to adapt? If they acquire McDavid, Crosby, Ovi etc, but they don't fit their scheme, too bad? thats stupid
-Allow us to edit coaches schemes
-Give us the ability to entirely edit players, that way we can fix mistakes you make. It's an offline game mode, who is it going to hurt if we want to edit things, play the way we want, or even just cheese it by making everyone a 99ovr?
-Fix the trade deadline gimmick, if you're working on a trade and you get an incoming trade, it interrupts and ruins all the progress you've made in adding assets, etc
-Allow us to force/veto CPUvsCPU, and PLAYERvsCPU trades. Sure some people will cheese it, but who will it hurt? Let us play the game how we want. I want it to be realistic. And for years, every instalment we get further away from having a realistic functioning FM
-For the love of hockey, fix the game breaking prospect development bug. This bug on its own, makes the game pointless to play. Throw in all the other bugs, even worse.
-Allow us to reposition the scoreboard. It's so simple. Let us have it on top, or bottom.
-Up the speed of the info of who scored & assisted on the goal on the scoreboard. The faceoff happens before you can read you got the assists.
-Fix the issue, when a player gets injured and you substitute a player, it doesn't apply to all lines, IE FWD who is on 3rd line, and 2nd PP, on the "defense" slot, the 2nd PP "defense" slot will not be filled by the new substituted player
-Fix the AI GM's not trying to sign their RFA's, especially their high ovr, star RFA's. If they can't sign them, try to make room, or trade them.
-Fix the seller, buyer, etc status, because a team like Tampa Bay should not be selling off their stars like Point, Kuch, Stamkos, simply because they had ONE bad season
-Have team overalls be a factor into their success, ie in the first year of FM, teams like Detroit, Buffalo, Senators, Ducks, shouldn't be at the top of the standings, and teams like Tampa Bay, Golden knights, Capitals, etc shouldn't be at the bottom. Yes this happens sometimes in real life, but the game makes this consistent. And then eventually you get every single team being "good" and every division has teams missing the playoffs despite going with records like 42-29-11 or whatever
I know I definitely forgot some and left some out. But here's a starting point.
