Fully Unlock edit player for Franchise Mode

I think this warrants it’s own thread topic.. we want the edit players function to be unlocked for us.. and not just the basics but everything unlocked please. It makes no sense why it was removed. It would allow us to fix the generated prospects because their attributes, position and play style are always so chaotic. 

you get a prospect that is a sniper.. centre, who’s 6’6, 235lbs, with high body checking, aggressiveness, def awareness, strength stats.. but low off awareness, skating, puck skills, face offs.. this clearly should be a grinder and winger but we can’t change it..


and for the players that are into super realism.. young NHL players grow.. some might still grow an inch.. but mostly, players get beefy.. they train. They go from 6’1 175lbs to 6’1 195lbs of muscle and we can’t edit their strength attributes, or their weight so it reflects properly

and let’s not forget that EA themselves also incorrectly lists players heights/weights.. and even positions. so let us fix it. 

It just  doesn’t make sense that the edit player was removed.. and never have got an answer from the EA letting us know why 

please unlock edit player and allow FULL customization at start of save file, mid season, 15 seasons in.. just fully unlock it

    But also if I´m being honest here. I dont think NHL 22 was a bust.

    I have played more NHL 22 than I have played the games before the last years, and I actually enjoy it a lot.

    But I also thinks there could be more and better for us, and that would make me play even more than I do.

    We want a Ferrari, but got a Volvo even if everyone on the forums says they got a Lada.... xD

    It is standard EA practice to take things away.  They do that, unexpectedly, so you will buy the version of the game that they bring it back in.

    We all hope that this kind of thread is not needed after the NHL 23 release.... 🙂

    Its open ups so much needed and fun storylines for us offline players.

    Your offline Franchise Mode - Your rules!!

  • @MV75 Just a quick bump for this thread… I wouldn’t be surprised if editing players wasn’t in Franchise Mode when 23 comes out… I would be surprised if they even made any changes to it be honest, or even fixed any of the bugs… I’ll hold out a little hope but I’m certainly not holding my breath… the fact we got nearly ZERO communication all year, and very few bug fixes (and the bug fixes they DID do, hardly worked for anyone..) shows how little effort and time they put into the offline game modes…
  • I’ve wanted this for a long time too. It would also be cool to be able to force trades to happen in offline franchise mode
