Re: NHL 21 Franchise Mode Deep Dive
@EA_Aljo Just wondering where the trade value revamp went... we all know about the bugs of Tyler Ennis and Paul Byron having as much trade value as Mallon, which was “supposedly fixed” but we’re still seeing fringe nhlers with 3/4 full bar trade values.
The AI GM’s are still trading away their star players even though they’re a contender and just had a mediocre season. The AI GMs are still trading away their futures because they had a half decent season despite being a basement dwelling team.
The trade deadline is an awful visual gimmick that just allows AI teams to CONSTANTLY interrupt you, when you’re trying to make a trade and figuring out assets, just to have an awful trade offer interrupt your screen, and delete your progress you made. Making you have to go through the entire process again.
Then there is prospects, and young nhlers having awful development/negative natural growth, making overalls fluctuate like crazy and being ridiculously stupid. Makes scouting, drafting, and developing pointless. Which is a huge aspect of FM. Which makes the game mode pointless.
And we still cannot edit player roles/styles. When the AI generates prospects and assigns them stats that do not fit their play style/position, we now cannot change it.
Why take away customization?
If anything, like many of us have been saying for months now, we should have the opportunity to customize the game. So we can play it how we want. Not be forced to play it to constricting ludicrous rules. Like BAP. where we are forced to be a superstar and don’t have to work for anything
