Dumbfounded that online franchise is back when there is so much needing fixed
I just don't even know where to start. I said years ago, like 5-6+ years ago, when I was extremely active on these forums trying to give legitimate, positive, and constructive suggestions and feedback, that bringing back online franchise would be an awful idea with all the current issues that has plagued franchise mode for what has seemed like an eternity. Here we are years later and, not to toot my own horn, but it looks like I was spot on. Still don't have generated prospects that receive certain line preference combos Still don't have proper CBA rules, such as proper roster slots during pre-season and after the trade deadline (it's 50 btw, not 23) Player customization is still grayed out (basically all customization is grayed out) Penalties are still broken, haven't seen CPU opponents take any penalties other than holding or interference, ie 0 stick infractions Trade deadline mechanics are inherently broken and underwhelming Line combination settings constantly reset without warning Strategies, coaches, preferences that whole system is totally broken I mean dear lord I could go on forever, this is barely the tip of the iceberg. And now, without fixing any of the glaringly obvious issues that has plagued this mode for almost 15 years, they decided to release a completely half-baked...actually 1/4 baked connected franchise mode that is going to die before it totally arrives. I honestly feel like EA purposefully made it so incomplete so they have an excuse to say "See, no-one plays it!" and then pull it from the game again. Haven't purchased this game for almost a decade, and EA is only justifying my decision to stop giving them money. Which is an absolute bummer because hockey is my favorite sport and I used to love playing this series, but I just can't bring myself to spend money on a game that has 0 effort dedicated to making it. Can't believe this is what it's come to. :(NHL 27 GMC
EA_Aljo I know that we've all been made aware that GMC will not have player development which is a tough hit to the mode because we could see guys bailing due to having terrible teams with very few options to get out of the bottom (unless someone gifts you a trade) or if your GMC league does a fantasy draft. My question is could we potentially have the ability to add new rosters or do roster updates after each season? This isn't ideal but it would allow GMC leagues to edit the draft classes or input their own way of development in the league via edited player rosters...it would also be cool to be able to add historic draft classes, future draft classes, etc. Anyway just wanted to ask as i thought this would make for a decent work around since player development will not be in NHL 27. If EA has decided to change this please ignore this discussion thread. Thanks Shizz/Shugg
Game crash
When trying to load a league im in that just got to the playoffs, the game crashes instantly. Everyone in our league is experiencing the same issue as were in a discord chat confirming it. Both PlayStation and Xbox, apparently two teams were able to play one playoff game before this problem started to occur. Im hoping this reaches the right people to get a fix deployed, thanks.Cross play -Online Versus
Is it true EA is still not going to be adding cross play for online versus? Thats so bad. How does every major game have that and not NHL games?! Big disappointment! Pretty sure thats a pretty easy feature that could be added to the game. As well as fairly well requested. And EA is still not adding it this year. No wonder not many people play nhl no more. Been sitting here for 2 hours, and only got into 2 games on chel 🤣😂. Franchise Hockey manager comes out soon though. Better then EA franchise mode tbh. And that was my favorite mode since I was 9 years old.Updated accurate Rosters with prospects & more. JOIN! AKZV3ZY9B
