In Fifa, NBA2K, you can add all (best) players you want to an existing team and play with it online versus a friend. Why isn't it possible in NHL (play an exhibition game againts a friend with custom teams online)? That puts a damper on our fun !
Franchise mode needs to improve!!!
Franchise mode besides online modes is always the best mode to play and there’s many important things missing.
1. Winter classic/ outdoor games- There needs to be a random thing done each season to choose winter classic teams and then 3 or so outdoor games with snow falling and in real stadiums.
2. All star game- MLB has always had an All-Star game so not sure why NHL does not in franchise mode and it would be very cool if the challenges like hardest shot and such were added too to add more excitement to the game.
3. More complex contracts- You should be able to add no trade clauses, submit a list of teams you would allow them to trade you too etc..
4. Trades- Three team trades would be better to have as well with actually being able to retain salary for some players as it shows it in nhl 18 but you can’t actully retain it when you go to make a trade.
5. Get rid of maintaining arena and facilities- This I just think is dumb as whenever you reach the Stanley cup you’re usually out of funds and can’t afford to maintain them so should just be removed.
HUT:
Ultimate team is generally what I play the most but this year it was wayyyyyy too easy. The ice sets truly ruined the game and players were too easy to get. I could get rid of my team start over and have a 4 1/2 to 5 star team with the same players and or better players within 2 weeks and I don’t even play that much. It was much better when it would take me months just to try and get Sidney Crosby on my team but now it takes about a week. Go back to the old ways! And always have to add GET RID of ice tilt it’s way too obvious of a thing especially when playing seasons.
Cover:
Honestly I think it would be best if people could choose what player they wanted on the cover so they could always have their favorite player but it seems unlikely EA will do that. Sidney Crosby should have easily been on the cover by now and it’s a bit ridiculous that he hasn’t but just Incase they decide not to again ( completely terrible if he isn’t.) other players I believe worthy are James Neal whose had a fantastic season with the Golden Knights and scored in all star game, Marc-Andre Fleury everyone loves him, Sidney Crosby the best player in the nhl, Phil Kessel whose leading the team in points, Evgeni Malkin whose second in scoring right now with 30, Anze Kopitar whose putting up great stats, Brock Boeser whose putting up fantastic numbers as a rookie, Nathan MacKinnon whose playing great, and David Pasternak who is having a good season or maybe go in a new direction and have multiple players of the Golden Knights to reward them for their record breaking season.
1. Frostbite
2. EASHL-the best game mode can easily be better by smal changes
A) There are to many 2-player teams. Make it possible to match a minimum number of players. Make the cpu-players even worse.
B ) Our team has more than 6 players. Make it possible to substitutet players during the game.
C) Sometimes its tough to find opponents. Show how many teams that are in game. Use platform crossover with Xbox One and ps4.
D) New players has Hard Times to get into the game. Introduce a team practice mode for eashl (pp, pk, rushes, traps etc.) Make it possible to be in more than One club so the Elite teams can have second teams with new players.
E) The game mode lacks in participation rewards. Use a HUT-logic in eashl with sallary caps to each team with higher caps in higher divisions. This means that you can win (or buy) player items to enhance the skills of your eashl player. These items can be traded etc. Higher stats gives gives higher salary so in THE END not all items can be used by all players in the team. You must see the money making potential here.
F) Give us more player statistics. Most goals/assists/points in One game. Most hatrics etc.
3. Bring GM-connected back, please.

1. Frostbite- 100% yes
2. EASHL-the best game mode can easily be better by smal changes
A) There are to many 2-player teams. Make it possible to match a minimum number of players. Make the cpu-players even worse.- Yes(we already have match room size), and then resounding no, they need to actually be better
B ) Our team has more than 6 players. Make it possible to substitutet players during the game.- no, too many problems could arise with starting with lower ranking players then substituting for vastly more skilled players to essentially "scrub hunt"
C) Sometimes its tough to find opponents. Show how many teams that are in game. Use platform crossover with Xbox One and ps4.- would be cool to get more teams involved...but sadly it will never happen
D) New players has Hard Times to get into the game. Introduce a team practice mode for eashl (pp, pk, rushes, traps etc.) Make it possible to be in more than One club so the Elite teams can have second teams with new players.- Bring back the "test on ice" feature with the different classes, OR add the ability to add minor buffs through flex, curve, and blade type

F) Give us more player statistics. Most goals/assists/points in One game. Most hatrics etc. We used to have the "club record" section, not sure where it went
3. Bring GM-connected back, please.- Meh for me, but for the folks who loved it yes.
1. More commentators. (Switches up every few games)
2. Be able to do a fantasy draft with expansions teams in franshice mode.
3. NCAA Teams would be amazing
4. More players able to be scouted after playing more seasons in franchise mode.
5. More interactive Be a Pro mode like how it used to be in NHL 14.
6. More jerseys and custom logos in custom teams.
GM mode: make it like a career mode. Like in madden where you have a background story. Then have the ability to upgrade scouting, resigning players, development, season ticket sales, coaching, free agent signing, special teams, trading, stadium upgrades, etc etc. The more you make your owner happy, the more you win etc the more skill points you get.
Gameplay settings: have the ability to set how much time each line should play when you simulate. Maybe I want line 4 to play 10 minutes a game, maybe I want them to play 3 minutes depending on how I built my team.
Each lines stamina should be drained gradually depending on how much you play them. Line stamina should be more of a factor in the game.
Oh and 1 more - have the ability to hire and fire coaches!
i want play Franshice mode with SHL team and have Champions Leauge match in my scheledue , and Play season in Allsvenskan to promotion to SHL or SHL to Allsvenskan and see statistic from other tables in World
The only thing that will ever make m put $ into EA ever again is IF they ever start from scratch and make a NEW NHL game .
You cannot fix this game ever as it is.
Servers. Servers. SERVERS.
The game is fun when you're not fighting lag.
A smooth running online game is the most important issue in my opinion.
I don't want to be limited to who I play with based on what coast I live in or fight my controller because I'm on a opposite server.

Playing across the country in CSGO you see about 60-90ms of latency. It's playable but it's not always ideal but that's the cost of playing over distance. Rocket league it's usually around 100 and that's really tough.
P2p it's always going to be dependant on each connection but across the country expect at least 100ms of latency.
There is nothing we can do to help unless everyone just buys some gigabit internet service. Distance is the killer of online gaming. Make due with what you have and have fun.
I hope EA can finally make the players smaller, or at least the rinks bigger. There is way too much congestion in 6 on 6 games. In the real NHL, you have some time to 'work' out there. In this game, there's always someone right up on you with no room to breathe.
I also would like to see classic All Star jerseys, like the ones that read:
W
A
L
E
S
....or Campbell with the black and orange NHL logo.
