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...

@heavydutyrammer Still we have not received any words from the EA company on the decisions behind removing the junior leagues as well as removing and locking us out of the edit players in the Franchise Mode game

I can't speak for EA But my best guess is they just didn't wanna put on the work to adapt the new features into the old ones I mean it took two iterations just to get multi year storylines in the NHL let alone the work they'd have to do on multi year storylines for junior leagues and euro leagues also the different storylines for draft position I mean right now there's one bap storyline and that's be a superstar there needs to be more paths to the NHL and through the draft so the amount of storyline work they just didn't wanna do then you'd need you'd AHL storylines and storylines for getting setting sent to junior and the the AHL and storylines for developing and getting called up not only do they need storylines they need goals rewards punishments and the biggest part is balance they don't know a thing about balance there's so much they can do with this mode to make it so immersive and true to life beyond the on ice action they can't even get conversations right as things stand now I mean I get a coach challenge and fail it and we lose the game and the coach stops me in the halls after the game and says "I'm disappointed with what you did our there" and my character replies "I think we can still get back in this" really? When the games over we're gonna get back in it? And it happens with most coach challenges but I digress the reason they left it out is because it was more than they could handle is the simple answer
- @LeafsNation84 That’s a pretty good idea you have and it is probably the most accurate.. I don’t know what it is,, if they don’t have the resources to actually make the Be a Pro game worthwhile.. and integrate the most important features back in, and properly rework the storylines.. I am sorry but X factors aren’t storylines lol it’s just achievement hunting with a coat of paint on it I mean what if I want to play as an enforcer but now I can’t because I have to play as a superstar that’s just no fun because there is no variation… the Live the Life was a much better game mode before..
or maybe they just don’t care enough about the mode to work in all the good features that they took out.. I don’t know.. it’s just pretty upsetting how the Be a Pro game mode is right now.. it is not good or fun and all they added was X factors and more conversations.. we’ve been asking for an injury tracker.. since they removed it lol
I just hope that next year maybe they will actually work on it.. the revamp wasn’t really a revamp but stripping it down to focus on the rookie year and nothing else instead of the career as a whole
Maybe one year it will focus on the whole career again instead of just the rookie yearBAP and Franchise for that matter are both low priority to EA and the teams assigned to all offline modes are probably very small have very limited resources and budget because offline players are a "one and done" payment system once they get our money there's no more until next year so they put in the bare minimum to scrape by with enough "new features" to try to shut up offline players for a bit and then pump every available resources into HUT with weekly updates new cards new packs new this new that for HUT cause people keep pumping hundreds if not thousands of dollars into their "gambling simulator" it's a money factory that's the biggest reason BAP is big steaming pile of you know what because EA won't give the offline modes more resources because it's not a money maker
- @LeafsNation84 if they made a proper game mode, there would be a large increase in microtransactions from the offline community, but they have yet to do that, or even remotely consider doing so
- @heavydutyrammer Just a little bump..
