Hey, so I just wanted to follow up and say that the bug that came out with NHL 20 https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/news/franchise-mode
in regards to line chemistry is still in the game as of NHL 25 10/2/2024
When I say EA generated prospects, I am talking about the draft eligible prospects that are randomly created to fill in the draft the further you go into franchise mode. (about 5? years in) are bugged.
The real life NHL players are not bugged. When you start a franchise mode their line preferences are randomly generated and they are able to generate every possible option, but randomly generated players are not.
Here is the bug that I am referring to once again:
EA generated forward draft prospects are unable to generate with the following preferences:
"Carry"
"Efficient"
"Don't Block"
EA generated defense draft prospects are unable to generate with the following preferences:
"Balanced/Balanced"
"Balanced/Cycle"
"Balance/Shoot"
"Hold Line/Balanced"
"Hold Line/Cycle"
"Hold Line/Shoot"
