Franchise mode ideas

@EA_AljoI can speak on half of the NHL community. I hope it's heard so we can move this game in he right direction. We play this game all the time we know what the game needs and what way it needs to go.

I didn’t think I would be the guy coming to EA’s defence this year, but here we are. I actually do think they do a pretty good job of listening to the community when it comes to additions to franchise each year. Major additions such as scouts, coaches, trade deadline and draft class quality were all widely requested and added the last few years. Minor additions like secondary positions, trade finder, trade value fluctuations, auto owner mode and player search were also added due to requests. With this series being a yearly release, it wouldn’t be easy to decide what exactly gets included especially because there are tons of different suggestions on what to do. I’ve seen numerous requests to make free agency just like the deadline and I think most of us here have no desire for that due to our dislike for the deadline. I lot of guys ask for more owner features, while a lot don’t want any time at all spent on anything related to acting as an owner. One day we will (hopefully) find the reasoning these additions are executed the way they are whether its lack of time, difficult programming or perhaps these additions are working exactly as envisioned. Regardless, I think most players agree that when they add something new it rarely results in being as good in the game as we thought it would be when asking for it. This causes many of us to want change to these features while instead the focus remains adding more of the community’s requests and leaving the older features untouched and unpolished for the most part.
