Community ManagerThere's already international size ice in the game, but you're right that there would be a lot to add to authentically support European leagues. It's certainly not out of the question, but this is an NHL focused game. Many of the leagues in the game are closely associated with the NHL as well. We've certainly had numerous requests over the years to support European leagues. I really hope it happens, but as @TTZ_Dipsy said, we also need to consider using resources on a feature that might not be as well-received as more popular requests. Regardless, you never know. It's entirely possible European leagues could be supported someday. At least, I hope we get roster sharing added at some point so that European rosters could be created and shared more easily.
@EA_Aljo I think @TTZ_Dipsy just brought the rink size and different plastyles up as an example, although I don't know if someone has suggested them. I think the current EAs european sized rink is "close enough" to represent those. And while more authenticity would be awesome I totally recognize the amount of resources it would require, as you said it's an NHL focused game.
I just wanted to point out to TTZ_Dipsy why it's not bloated having the current amount of leagues in game.
Yes, roster sharing would definitely be something that could help with those rosters, let's hope it happens.
As for the rosters, I think many euro players, especially the lower rated ones, are underrated in game in terms of their OVRs (like 5 OVR points or so), there shouldn't be really that many players at 50s OVR, which makes them lower rated than many players in the junior leagues. You can notice it the other way around: players returning from NA to European leagues have highest OVRs by clear margin, while they're not that much better irl. And in that the top NHL prospects are the highest rated in their teams even though they're actually often not the best players in those teams.

Thanks a lot for the input. Overalls are always something that we get varying opinions on. Most often, people are in disagreement. They usually feel their favorite players should have higher ratings. Regardless, I'm not saying overalls are always 100% accurate. Overalls for HUT are going to be different than other modes as well. Players start out lower so they have room to grow over the year. For other modes, they're given an overall that represents their real-world skill. However, it also is kind of subjective. 2 people can have very different ideas of what the overall of a player should be. All I can really tell you is that our team does their best to decide on accurate overalls.
As a player who ONLY plays BAP I would like to see 1) Give us back the juniors...I want to develop my player for a few years in the Soo again. 2) why can't I play in the AHL.....very few guys start right in the NHL level, bring back the minor league playability and getting called up and sent down. 3) Sunday training reminder.....bring in back full time, if we are not good we would be in the AHL for awhile getting better. This "everyone is a superstar" (players) is ridiculous and so unrealistic 4) where did the salary cap go? It absolutely sucks that you have to be drafted by the Rangers or the Kings playing the way you should.....When I would develop my player for a few years in the Juniors, god knows what round I would go in or who would draft me and that is the way real life is, bring it back. Stop having the head coach calling me a 70 rated rookie to the bench to tell me how I should win the game.....he would be calling one of the stars of the team over for that.
