Why have they have removed the basic ability to edit players in Franchise mode?

@jamiestang Its easiy to answer your rants in one post. My responses to you are in bold. You aren't going to like them, but its what I learned from the forums, as well as social media posts.

1 NO reason absolutely no wall it's not like this on Madden

Madden and NHL are using different source codes. They react differently and thus can’t be compared.

3 (2?) CHEATING ? HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO With that !

Yes, its cheating if the game Devs think its cheating. They have the right to have an opinion, which they did, and they thought it was cheating, so they removed it.

1. And for the uniforms EA Should see if they can tie uniforms selection into NHLuniforms.com they have all the uniforms ! If it's a copyright issue then offer us a edit uniforms option so we can recreate the missing uniforms please !

The Law doesn’t work that way.

NO Theres NO Cheating at all ! Explain to me how it's cheating when your playing offline in your own personal season? Like I said if it's cheating your only cheating yourself.

I never said it made sense, but that’s what they said. They felt like players were using exploits to play the game in a manner it wasn’t meant to be played. So, to them its cheating. Just because you and I don’t agree with it, doesn’t invalidate their decision.

And to take it one step further I edit players on all teams ! So even the CPU isn't getting cheated when I play against them ! 

And to take it one step back, they could change that at anytime they like. So, yeah. Its their game.

As for it being cheating online something that alot of us playing a offline season not even worried about online.

Again, it’s their perception of cheating. 

If that would be a issue then have it that you can only use current EA NHL Rosters downloaded ! 

SIMPLE FIX If u ask me ?

It is a simple fix. All they need to do it get off their high horses and give players what they want, but they won’t, because they don’t like when we figure out how to break their toys.

EASY FIX EA Have it that you can only use current EA NHL Roster download ! 

And label our offline rosters as just that OFFLINE ROSTERS ! That can be edited all the time in every aspect of the game !

This actually doesn’t make any sense as the online play and offline rosters are already separate. They merely don’t want people breaking Franchise mode.

And when does EA Plan on fixing all these problems that they can patch into our current offline season ?

EA has already made it clear through about 50 posts, that they can not or to put it in terms the people won’t rage over, Won’t be updating your save files. Their source code doesn’t allow for that like Madden.
