@davehoehn970 Yeah, exactly. Stick a bunch of buggy features together and the end product is just a disaster.. if they gave us the customization and editing ability, it would save them so much resources because we can work around their bugs. The bugs that they seem to never fix, since it comes with perennial leftover bugs dating years back.

The deadline mini game is just laughable. So atrociously laughable.

Imagine if NHL had a “steam workshop” type deal. All the modders would simply focus on fixing the bugs since there is so many, there’d be no time to make actual mods lol

Oh, man... if this was on Steam...

I just can't even understand the decision to take away full editing if it was once there (as said in other conversations, my last purchase was '15, and I didn't pay this kind of attention to it). We're talking about an offline mode... why would they possibly care if we edited anything we didn't like? Doesn't affect anyone else. Doesn't affect online gaming. Doesn't affect accumulating loot pack coins. If I did make all my guys 99s and the entire rest of the league 50s, who cares? Turning off editing seems like the most useless of decisions.

    @davehoehn970 I honestly think it's another way to entice people to buy their future games, If it wasn't so restricted in editing (e.x. inability to change a player's age or even height/weight) people would be less likely to buy in annually. They way they're going, I wouldn't be surprised if restricting player contract editing was next.

    Maybe if they fixed these bugs from year to year, that's a legitimate argument that could be made for why to shut down complete editing... but even still, on Franchise Mode that affects exactly nobody outside of the person editing, that's a tough sell. All they're going to actually do is continue pushing players away from the product. Nobody in the corporation is going to care about that as long as loot crate mode is what's still raking it in, though.
