Offline Creators Wishlist
I love to create teams/leagues/cups and more in the offline modes, and I think many of the things I list down below is more than me that would love to have it in the game. Some of the things are pro...
Forum Discussion
1000000% agree with all of this. Only potential issue I could see is getting the licensing to use NCAA teams/players, just because NCAA rules are backwards and the whole NIL controversy/confusion is still on going.
Only things I would suggest are:
Franchise Mode
-ability for you (as the GM) to initiate conversations with players & coaches, not just them initiating talks with you
-ability for you to scheme with your coach to change the playing style/scheme of your team to mold it around the players you have, not the coach
-ability to buy out contracts as they allow under current NHL rules
-GM press conference/media availability. Do it like every 20 games or so where you have to take questions from reporters on the state of team etc (gotta have some accountability lol)
-off season scouting activities (world juniors, memorial cup etc)
-if you create an expansion AHL team along with your expansion team, the ability to edit their uniforms & logos after initial creation (like how you can edit your NHL team’s uniforms in the off season)
-the ability to edit a current NHL team’s uniforms if you chose them as your team in Franchise Mode (ex. I choose to play as the flyers so get the ability to edit their uniforms in the off season)
-ability to hold practices with your team to build chemistry, practice strategies, boost morale + other ways to boost players moral/happiness when it comes to management
-I also emphatically agree that you should have the ability to send players to the ECHL in addition to the AHL as well as have the ability to loan them to European leagues
Be a pro-mode
I know be a pro mode isn’t the subject of this thread but I really dig how Fifa was brought up because Be Pro Mode could use some Fifa-ication
-olympics should take place every few seasons in the sim & you should have the ability to get your player called up to their national team
-additionally IIHF tournaments should be included & before your career starts and you should have the ability to get selected to play in world juniors
-All Star games should occur yearly in the sim & you should have the ability to get selected to that as well
-if you request a trade, you should be able to submit some sort of list of preferred destinations
Overall suggestions
these we already mentioned but
-more national teams
-more leagues like the EIHL
-all NHL team uniform history & logo history (maybe not every alternate uniform or whatever but at least every home & away jersey a team has worn)
-ability to edit & create with all logos/uniform styles within the game
Overall though I agree with & emphatically second everything MV75 said
I really agree with the created AHL team idéa that you should be able to change the uniforms between the seasons, just like you can with a created NHL team. I have been missing that, because I often create a AHL team when I have created NHL team, and not just leave it to the pre set team.
The Olympics and World Championship should be made in a deal with IIHF to have the real life National team uniforms and logos. Even U20 World Championship option would be over the top if they could implement that option to the game.
Probably this will not be changed in the next patch (or in the 22nd edition) but it is an important issue.
As a supporter of a club from Europe, I would like to be able to create a team whose name does not have to be "Poland GKS Katowice", just GKS Katowice, without adding a location.
The game developers from Canada forget that field hockey is also in other parts of the world. This is strange because in the CHL we have teams with names like "JKH GKS Jastrzębie"....
