Music
For the love of god. The music selection on this video game series, is the most horrific display of music I’ve ever heard in my life. Majority of people who play chel are ages 10-25, they don’t listen to this hideous whatever music you want to call this. Take notes from 2k and madden, weird kids don’t play hockey anymore that phase is gone. Get with the program, please.Please Allow ECHL Teams in Franchise Mode.
Obviously asking to control three leagues in one franchise mode is a ridiculous ask which is why I’m not going to ask for that… instead I’m simply asking for the ability to substitute the NHL teams with ECHL teams in the custom league franchise mode. I know I personally and I’m sure other want to be able to have a dual level interaction (ECHL & AHL in this case) but unfortunately it’s not currently available… I feel like this is very simple as the mechanic already exists for other leagues such as the SHL. It would simply be a matter of including the ECHL category as an available option.cup chase and other things
why is cup chase still freezing during the intermission? is nothing gonna be done? on top of other things like line changes are bad. like atrocious. why isn't manual lines an option like in offline modes. this would help most of the issues i have with it. and it takes 180 alumni 79s to make a 90 heroes card not including having to get 6 85 alumni cards and 24 81-84 alumni cards. definitely don't get enough packs weekly to remotely come anywhere near getting those cards
Broken implementation of game moments
This is utterly horrific! Developers, don't you have anything better to do? I can't even score. And from any standard position. I recently bought Part 26 and am playing in Franchise Mode. Not only did you copy the buy-ins from the previous game, but now you've added even more problems. Why are my players always falling in the opponent's zone? Why can't I score? I'm playing on the second-to-last difficulty level. Why don't you have a second home jersey for the Oilers with the script? Do you have any respect for this team? I paid for a full-fledged game, and in the end I got a copy of the previous game, and it's broken, too. Perhaps you don't want your game to sell, don't want to make money, or are simply accustomed to being a monopoly in this niche. There's no other explanation.Moments
Doesn't matter who or what the objective is the moments actively work towards not letting you complete them. The parayko poke checks from last week is the first example. How are you going to set a moment requiring 5 poke with a specific player know full well that poke checks DO NOT function properly. This week's example is Josi shot blocks. Get one blocks and the all of sudden every shot the AI is a goal nothing with hit Josi and it's more than obvious. Locked position and low and behold EA for zero reason switched Josis side in overtime so he's AI controlled. It's just little stuff like that that shows the true grime and filth of whoever conjures up these moments. Another I just found out. You cannot switch the AI off aggressive in overtime meaning you can't make Josi stay back to even attempt blocks. This is getting to be a new level of low here. WOW. The more you progress through moments the more EA has set the sliders against the user to point of not even being a challenge just an unenjoyable grind that basically requires you to exploit the game back to complete the rewards. Probably get banned again for this since these managers stay in their feelings but they just refuse to acknowledge a single issue with moments to push their pack sales. It's a grimy despicable practice that needs to change. Lol edit to add the game will you let you switch the offense pressure during the moment but will not let you do it overtime causing josi to play forward and not even attempt defense this is is getting crazy what's going on with pro moments.Moments are coded against the objective player

If we have to deal with this terrible pressure system, then let's make this more like real hockey. If there is a faceoff, and it isn't icing, then both teams should start with full health after the faceoff. The coach would have changed lines and the players would not be forced to remain on the ice. Icing , you can't change lines, this should be the only time you start with less than full health. How ridiculous is it that the team who has just been scored on, has no energy on the faceoff after the goal. How does it make sense that players are still out of energy after a goal has been scored? Why are the effects of the pressure system still there? The game is so broken as it is, why keep making it worse?Broken Player Contract and Salary expectations
PLEASE FIX players under 25 demanding salaries twice their value. It's frustrating drafting and developing players only for them to sign for 1 year until they are UFAs and leave, or have to pay 5 million + their actual value to sign long term. Highly unrealistic and completely wrecks franchise mode. Spending hours rebuilding a team to have no one sign makes it all pointless. PLEASE FIX.
