My wishes:
1.Let us have more than 18 players in a game. Many teams play with a 7th defender or even a 4th pairing. It would be perfect if 18 players was the minimum and there was an optional 4th defensive pairing and 13th forwards or any other players could be assigned to no lines. With only 18 players i can’t play all the players of my favourite team the ZSC Lions they usually play with 7 defenders and 13 forwards i have to scratch one defender and attacker all the time. This would be a fun feature to try out players also in franchise mode for example giving an AHL guy a shot as 7th defender and if someone‘s injured he can jump in. With this feature players that get injured during a game could be easily replaced without players having double shifts.
2.more face scans
3.World juniors world championship in Franchise Mode/be A Pro how cool would it be to play for your country in be a Pro
4.Control all teams in Franchise mode. I would love to control all the teams to keep the league more realistic. Role modle would be 2k‘s MyLeague you can control the whole league there.
5.Edit teams for IIHF world championship. An option here would be: you can assign players to national teams if they have the nationality. This feature is in Fifa you can choose which players play on the NT in settings this would be a lot nicer so we could try different teams for the WC. If this was implemented Created players should also be included in this National team Pool.
6.tournament mode Again this is in Fifa and Ea should just implement this to NHL. With this we could play the gretzky cup or just any custom tournament or league with any teams just like in the playoff mode.
7.Assign players under 18 to any team except nhl teams or leagues where players aren’t allowed before 18. In all european leagues players under 18 are allowed not only in the CHL. This is simple.
