Question about create a team

I accidentally named my team twice (Alaska Alaska) instead of naming it a team like Alaska Grizzlies or something like that. I have already started my franchise and have already gone through drafting and signing players and whatnot. I have yet to play the first preseason game. When I go to Create A Team to see if I can edit my already created team, it says there are no custom teams. I was like "What? Then what team am I using in my new franchise??" It also says that "When you create a custom team, it will get saved to your custom roster." I went to the custom roster on the roster page and my team is not there either. Is this a glitch with this new game? I could have sworn that when I created a team and player in NHL 17 all my created items showed in a list. I could be wrong. I just want to change the name of the team without going through yet another hour or so in creating a team again. Thank you for your help.

  • Yeah, I ran into this problem last night as well. Apparently your team you create in your Franchise don't get saved to your Created Teams. I made a different mistake and backed out of my Franchise as well, only to discover my team hadn't been saved.

    So instead of jumping right back into Franchise mode I went to Create a Team, made them, and then went back in and was able to just select them. Lots of extra work after lots of wasted effort.

    The AHL team would be nice to create before hand too. I got super lazy on that after going through creating my main team twice.

    Yes, I discovered this as well. Sorry for the late reply, I am not receiving notifications. I will try to alleviate this. What I did was scrap that team and created a new team using the Create feature. Decided on creating Hartford. I know they are Carolina now, but I miss the whale! LOL I wanted to create Quebec Nordiques (Quebec has been wanting a team again for ages) but EA decided to not give us uniforms with the Fleur de Lis or the ability to add those and they also introduced Quebec City? So, if I wanted to create Quebec, I would have to call them the Quebec City Nordiques and not have the original jerseys. Would be nice in NHL 19 (HINT HINT, EA!) to be able to use the old jerseys on each NHL clubs (like using Colorado's Quebec jersey as a usable jersey in create a team). Who wouldn't want an accurate jersey up until their demise playable as a created team? Don't know why EA hasn't added this option or feature. Can't be that hard to do, could it? Have all the old jerseys in the drop down menu where you can choose the various logo's? Would be nice.

    You mean they removed the Quebec Nordiques jerseys from create a team? I know for a fact I would see tons of EASHL teams using it back on old gen, and i think they could be used in NHL 16 for regular create a team.

    Count that as another thing EA removed from the game....amazing...
  • No they didn't remove the logo, but you cannot create the jersey with the fleur de lis. I am a stickler when it comes to those things. I haven't really played the game too much. The goalies are horrendous. It's like playing a game where both teams are pee wee hockey players. I will probably uninstall this game and reinstall NHL 17. At least the goalies were actually goalies in that game. In NHL 18 they are chain link fences and the puck is a BB. The EA developers have no idea what they are doing.
