I dream of an NHL hockey game that has as realistic gameplay, presentation, physics and graphics as possible. I personally couldn't give less about any of the game modes or additional leagues everyone is posting about, suggesting to get some completely irrelevant additions in. This is NHL hockey, it's played on ice and this is where all the focus on development should be put in the first place. It is also the only place to start from to make the whole thing solid and even more fun. NHL, whether live on tv or as a game on console has long been one of the greatest things with friends and a few beers, so please, please focus on right things and start with that in mind. Realism. Authentic.
More food and beverage choices to set prices for in franchise mode
Dude, you obviously have no hockey knowledge. The clear priority here is choosing mascot custom colors. THEN maybe by NHL 20 we can prioritize hot dog and caviar prices. We should also be able to choose the puck color in EASHL club games.

Maybe next year we'll get the brand new feature of highlighting goalie equipment when editing the colors. Seriously, these guys on the NHL team have no common sense. Let's make it hard for no reason at all to change goalie equipment colors...
Really need to address the scouting in NHL for GM mode. Really outdated and should use a more individual approach like Madden and NBA 2K.
Also need to figure out how to make All-Stars feel like All-Stars, right now my 3rd liners feel almost no different to my 1st liners. Makes Franchise mode bland when I draft a franchise player only to have him feel like everyone else.
Legend players available in offline mode....some of us don't want to spend hundreds of additional dollars. Online would stay the same but offline the players would be available to add on teams. Oh, and skills competition.
Fix puck pickups - this for me is an even worse issue than the skating.
Custom camera angle: and I want it to be part of my position settings, so that my camera angle on D is different than when I (rarely) play FWD
Team Practice Mode
More Player Builds
Besides fixing the core gameplay, my only wish for NHL 18 is....
Make the dressing room in EASHL, a team practice.
Rather than sitting in a room where you pick your position and can use the text chat, we should just go straight into practice. Teammates could come and go as they please, and the first person in the dressing room (practice mode) would be considered team captain, and can start a game at any time as long as there's at least 2 people (I would prefer 4, but that's for another thread). It would be a great way to kill time as you wait for clubmates.

Fix the physics and TPS engine, add more to EASHL (lot's of good stuff mentioned already, especially the practice rink instead of a dressing room), the ability to have more than 1 club game going at a time if there's more than 6 players online..
Yeah, online practice is a must. And like pureacoustics said, it should be available when the others are playing too, so any extra guys can practice instead.
Spectator mode would be nice too, so you could watch other team mates at play, and maby even coach them? And stream the game online to anyone who wants to watch?
Make TPS and skating smoother.
And in the name of the Great One, please please improve the servers & online experience, do whatever it takes to fix it.
And it would be nice to develop the division system in EASHL and HUT, they're fairly bland. Introduce regional/national divisions, playoffs, cups and championships, for instance. more customisation and events.
Just a wild idea, how about EASHL World Cup with top players from each nation forming national teams and then meeting others etc?
For HUT, how about a 'starter pack tournament', in other words you can only use the players from a starter pack? Either as new players or you would be able to buy 'starter packs' which would be identical to the one you get when you start HUT? Hey EA, you could sell moar packs that way?
Used to get right into the "roleplay" aspect of it. Walking down the tunnel with your team onto the ice for warmups doing a couple laps.... Never ever skipped it because it got me more into my player.
That being said. they really need to redo that mode.... well i mean they already did because it was all extravagant and expanded and 14 than bam we got nothing but bare bones? Awesome....
Can we also get a mode where we can start a former players career over again? Pretty sure madden atleast has it for current players were you can start in their rookie year. (or do they have it for former?)
Another thing id like to see from madden (as much as i like Playing to earn my draft ****) if we just choose pick a team, we should get a promt with 3 diffrent option to choose much like madden. Ex. they got a top pic choice (start with better atrributes But have slower progession) than middle of the pack witch im sure you can guess that. Than late draft pick (Low attributes, High proggesion.) just ex not expecting them to be exactly like that
They could also take a page out of MLB the show. Have it where you can ask to be played higher in the line up/traded ETC. Hell even a position change wouldn't be completely unrealistic..
All and all basically what im saying is i want a better BAP mode that i actually feel like the pro not just a guy behind the tv......

No opinion on offline modes or 1v1 online modes.
