Juniors and AHL

This year has not been a good year for NHL for obvious reasons like we can’t play because of the bad bugs that are in it but in the mean time since I can’t play it I figure I can ask some questions a...

I started a be a pro career in NHL 20 today. Makes much more sense than an NHL 22 career with bugs and all those stupid conversations. In NHL 20 I can start in CHL, choose my age and play full junior seasons. After editing some sliders even the gameplay feels better than NHL 22.

I don't care about players' eye movements, hardly visible details in their equipment or anything like that. Gameplay is the most important thing. Creation zone that works is another one.

@olavi4 Yes that’s exactly how the Be a Pro game mode should be, is being able to start in the CHL and work your way up into the NHL the realistic way.. not getting drafted in the top ten every single time if you get an assist or two

    I’ve played every be a pro since I can remember. It’s makes so much more sense to let us play full seasons in the CHL…or even Europe. with the addition of the WJC in the game it would be awesome to earn your spot on the national team and play in the WJC where you get to see the next superstars for the first time in real life. It’s so much fun to try and break records in juniors and put up gaudy numbers in your second or third year after working towards a high player rating and actually being the best player in the draft. 


    not to mention at this point I’m more or less locked into being taken by Seattle or Buffalo. It’s nice to let the NHL play out for a few years and getting a random team at the number one spot. 

    they added world juniors…now let’s add it to the game mode that it truly belongs in.

      @icerike Yes it really is annoying that the draft order is the same every time.. I don’t want to play for Seattle or Buffalo every single time..
      Developing in the juniors was fun.. it was a challenge..
      with the new Be a Pro game mode it’s all steak no sizzle.. you’re a superstar from the get go.. there’s no build up.. you have nothing to show that justifies your draft position.. before if you dominated the juniors then you are rewarded for your hard work.. now you just get rewarded for booting up Be a Pro.. here you go 1st overall congratulations on pressing start..
