I asked Blueberry about why this was removed.. haven’t got an answer yet but supposedly he sent the team a message… so I will ask for an update after a couple more days or so since we are usually forgotten about..
Hey, @heavydutyrammer
I am still attempting to track down an answer for that. I know an important contact regarding an answer for that was out on leave and decisions like this could involve multiple parties where it doesn't solely fall on one individual. If we are able to get communication around this we'll post it here.
Community ManagerAttention, Franchise & Season players:
This is an important request.
Please list all attributes in game you want to be able to edit. If possible, list them with your highest requests first.
Example:
@EA_Blueberry
Player type/Player position/secondary
Potential range/Potential accuracy
Stick hand/Height/weight
All Senses attributes
All Skating attributes
All Defense attributes
All Shooting attributes
All Physical attributes
All puck skills attributes
Contract
Name (for generated prospects)
Ideally… the ability to edit all attributes is what we want and makes sense… it wouldn’t make much sense for us to be able to edit speed and balance but not endurance or agility… same with able to edit slap and wrist power but not accuracy.. etc..
so the list I have is in priority… but really all the attributes are on equal ground…

Did you want attributes listed separately in a list?
@heavydutyrammer
Thank you. Either editing the comment and adding that below or replying again with the attributes is fine.

@heavydutyrammer @EA_Blueberry
I agree with everything that has been put forth! Also how about we have the ability to everything that is possible within an OFFLINE franchise mode like, all attributes for players, change coaching schemes with line chemistry to fit our superstars OR let us fit our players to the coach! I hate it when my franchise player plays on my forth line because he doesn’t fit my coach or I can’t find a coach to fit my roster better. The line chemistry is great, but it’s atrocious when I’m constantly trading superstars for players that aren’t stars just to get a decent line chemistry. Also give us the ability have more scouts, and create scouts and coaches.
I would like to see the trade value system updated to be more realistic. NHL 19/20 were the more realistic trade value systems for the series. 21 was atrocious, 22 is hammered dog poo!
So I’m gonna post something of mine that @EA_Blueberry, gave me a warning on. I removed the “offensive” words that hurt their feelings. For those wondering, I used the “B” word (read rules and guidelines) and that upset the order!
I stand behind my original statement because it’s truth! We want changes but nobody at EA SPORTS seems to care to REALLY listen to what we are asking for! We just want the ability to do a full roster edit at any time throughout franchise mode.
Does it really matter why we offline players want to be able to fully edit a player? I want to fully edit players for various reasons! Maybe it’s that I want a team full of 99 overall but players or I want them all to be 36 overall. We spend our hard earned money on this game year after year only to be disappointed by the lack of caring from EA SPORTS! It’s sickening that y’all only care about the online community.
(This is regarding what you can´t edit right now in the game)
Player position/secondary
All ratings
Potential range/Potential accuracy
Player type
Name (for generated prospects)
Appereance (for generated prospects)
Stick hand/Height/weight
~Thanks for the communication on this. The best feedback to the dev team would be that we want the ability to edit everything possible.
~The customization and league management is what gives franchise mode replicability and substance. The more we can edit, the more we can do, the more we can play. Being able to change a player's position and "attributes" (the same exact as what is available in the main menu) are the 2 most important for franchise mode by a mile. Those are the core things 100%. Essentially, whatever is unlocked in the main menu should remain unlocked during franchise mode too. That would include contract as well. Handedness is unlocked but that leads me into
~Another very important point: They let you switch handedness, but not height and weight for some reason, even in the main menu. Part of the reason this topic is such a common feedback/complaint is because even the original edit player in the main menu is relatively very restrictive compared to every other sports game and even every other hockey game up until 2019. Being able to edit size (height/weight), name, and age is enabled in every sports game ever and they should all be available in the edit player menu.in EA NHL too. They were until recently too
~To even further this, roster sharing is damaged soooooo much by these restrictions in place on editing players. Not sure if the devs realize that locking those 3 features means that every custom/retro roster requires 650 CREATED PLAYERS and tons of player movement. While all people have do in every other sports game is simply edit current players into whoever they want. That's not possible with name, size, and age locked exclusively in the newer EA NHL games
~So to recap: Everything is most important and anything that wont break the game will truly help a lot. Position and attributes are the equal as the top 2 that shouldn't even be a question and i don't see why either couldn't be added. Contract is a huge quality of life help and would come as a close 2nd in importance. Handedness is a useless unlocked feature without them unlocking the ability to edit size, name, age in the main menu too. So it's almost the other part of the major request that people have to unlock name, size and age in the main menu to help with roster share. Separate from Franchise
~There are only 4 (yet essential) things they locked for franchise which is why i was a bit confused by the question of choosing an order but for franchise:
1a. Ratings (attributes/potential)
1b. Position
2. Contract
3. Please unlock name, age and size in the main menu (and franchise) 🙂
