  • @EA_AljoI understand there is licensing issues but can't you at least add logos that are already in the game to the Create Team mode logo section? 90's Sharks logo, 90's Dallas logo, Whalers 90's logo, Tampa Bay 90's logo to name a few are all in the game on old school jerseys. Even the old/new Sens logo are on the 06/07 jerseys. If you add these to Create Team we can make missing jerseys ourselves. Or better yet - if you give us the option to import logos or even jerseys you would need no licensing rights at all. We could all just import any logo or jersey we want, and we could all be happy. How about that? I know other games have this option (Pro Evolution Soccer for example). Why not NHL?

    I don't understand why there is so much limitation to customization.

    I want to see vintage goalie masks available for created goalies again, like it was on last gen. I can not for the life of me understand why we can't use those even though they obviously are in the game on some alumni goalies (and most of them have the wrong type even though their correct type are also in the game). 

    I frustrates me that I can't create missing alumni/legends like Ken Dryden without having him look nothing like the real Ken Dryden.  

    No helmets should also be an option but as I understand it there is some ridiculous rule that prevents EA from adding that option for offline modes, even though many alumni players are without helmets. Makes no sense at all but alright. But surely there are no rule against the vintage masks right? Please add them. They were in NHL 07 -14 so why not now?

    @SvenArne123 Thanks SvenArne! Can you shed a little light on the knight Fleur-de-lis creation? You're not referring to the Quebec map with the Fleur-de-lis in it are you? All I want is the Fleur-de-lis to use on the players shoulders. Yeah the Nordiques logo hasn't been correct for a while now. That simple white outline its missing is important because you can't make the outer igloo and the puck the same blue that's on the jersey or it'll blend in. For a band-aid fix, I just make the logo darker blue so there's a little separation with out it looking stupid.

  • @yarg232I just checked now, it's custom logo 38. If you make it all white it kind of looks like the fleur-de-lis on the shoulders. Looks way better than leaving the shoulders empty or using the Quebec map which I used to do before.

    Also if you haven't already you can make the outer line on the main logo white for the blue jersey. Technically less accurate but it still makes it look more like the real jerseys.

    @SvenArne123 Thanks again. I'll give it a try when I get home. Much appreciated. Yeah that Quebec map fleur-de-lis looks like bird * from a distance. Can't even make out what it is.
  • Also can you guys look into aged contract asking prices for franchise? I'm over seeing 35-41 year olds with 75-78 overall with AHL potential (or bottom 6) asking for 1mil-5mil for multiple years the contracts should be min - 920k for 1-3 years nothing more

    Sadly no new vintage jerseys added in the new patch. I hope at least there are some additions to Create Team in terms of logos and jersey styles. I know those additions didn't make the patch notes last year, so will have to wait and see.

    Glad to see the new Sens jerseys. I just hope they also added the logo to Create Team.
