Play by Play names

How do I set a null play by play name?

My name isnt in the game in any form, so its really weird being forced to go by something like "Kovalchuk" or "Orlov"

This has never been a problem before, why is it a problem now?

    you can't, and it's infuriating. i'm in the same boat.
  • How about "Wolves" not being included in team names? Wow...
  • Forget it.. they just didn't bother to sort the names in the list and it's right at the end... still, wow. Attention to detail is not EA's specialty.
  • Choose "ahl" and your name shall never be called/said in the game. Thats what I did for NHL 16. Not sure if it works for 17 though. Double check.

  • Can anyone from EA lend a comment?
  • the name calling does not always work. i saw '****' was a name option so i thought it was funny and i picked it but rarely hear the announcer say **** when calling my name,
  • You're going to have to be a little more specific on that one
  • Lol ^
  • Not sure how you say ****
  • Anouncer says our names?
  • STARS!!!
  • Put a period after the first letter, I doubt the mods will get your for bypassing a censor that censors something in the game
  • Same with Create a Team. I want to create the "Chris Reyes Flaming Dragons" because of a coworker but no ... I have to create the ______ Flaming Dragons because I can't type a city, I have to go with a pre-recorded city name.

    Use the name 'Punnenovs'. Players I've created who don't have their last name available I've given them this name. It never gets announced during a game and I've given it to a lot of created players that are on the ice at the same time.

    Unfortunatly not. I tested it out by giving it to a bad goalie and scoring on him tonnes. Ray Ferraro says his name during a highlight

    Really? Gee mate that suxs and something I haven't seen yet. Unless it's because he's a goalie. The skaters I've given the name to I've not once heard Doc, Ed or Ray call or mention their name. And this is after a few games played. I've created a whole team of created players (skaters mainly), most players using that name and when the game is being called the commentary is only describing what's going on and not who the individual is doing it.
  • I think some names get called only in that little highlight packet from Ray

    I cant believe EA hasnt commented on this yet

    Which is better than nothing.

    @Ozhockeyfan I'm curious how you discovered this?

    I became aware of that particular name when this subject came up when 16 came out. Someone made comment (it might have been on here maybe, can't remember) that when the name your looking for isn't available use Punnenovs.
    And Animal1138 is right. The only time the name is said is during that highlight thingy Ray does. Doc doesn't say it at all during the play by play.
