@kguy1900 We never will get to the point of having a working FM, in nhl 21. And my hopes for a working FM in nhl 22 are slim, considering how backwards they went this year, and how unsupportive they have been for FM. Very few critical bug fixes, and then nothing despite the abnormal abundance of bugs.
I’ve had this bug in previous instalments as well, so I know it’s definitely not new. Just another bug that they’ve left in the game

Man, makes me glad I haven't bought since '15, if it's been going on that long, but at least I haven't encountered this (yet) on '21. Someone said in the Progress Reports bug thread(s) that turning off Morale Meetings fixed that one, too, but I've had that off the whole time, and no luck there... no Progress, no Franchise. Of things worth adding to enhance FM, "morale" ain't it, to me. I shut off pricing hot dogs, too.
- @davehoehn970 Morale was one of the worst additions. I would be very happy if they just removed it since they will never be able to get it to work realistically.
I find owner mode to be really meh. I would prefer more focus on the GM aspects like making the GM AI better, trade values actually fixed, have the chemistry issues addressed, everything that I’ve been talking about since launchYeah... those are all way more important to fix. At least we can shut "Owner Mode" off... we turn off "Morale Meetings", but we still get all these other flawed behaviors apparently related to morale. Sucks bad.
I suppose that's why I've joined your chorus on these forums... would have been better if I sought these out before buying. Didn't even occur to me. My thought process was "I like NHL, I haven't bought for a while, I don't know if the league is playing for real this year, it's on sale, buy". My fault for wanting something that doesn't exist, I guess.
- @davehoehn970 I mistakenly read the FM Deep Dive posted by EA. They, obviously, highly touted the “new features” and the “trade value revamp” and I was excited. I was hopeful.
Same with the BAP “rework”. I thought that they actually did something for us offline players. But they absolutely murdered the BAP mode. Took out the juniors, made it a handholding extremely linear ‘story’ mode that forces you to play to a single path, instead of becoming your own unique player.
I partly blame myself for wasting money on this sad broken game, because I listened to EA and believed them when they hyped the ‘new’ BAP and FM, when really all we got was a broken, buggy mess that barely resembles anything we’ve been asking for.
From now on, I’ll be looking on the forums, and FM Facebook group I’m in, before I buy another NHL from EA. And honestly that goes for all EA games. They’re all pretty meh, because lots are focused on multiplayer and the loot boxes. The pay to win games.
Maybe nhl 22 will be different. Maybe they will show us up, and we’ll have to put our feet in our mouths. I would gladly shut my trap if they delivered.
But I almost guarantee they won’t, and the bugs will remain.
