NHL 13 GM Connected Details Arrive Next Week, What Are You Hoping For?

[TDKing]

CUSTOM SEASON LENGTH !!! 20/42/82 I haven't finsished more than one season in years. Franchise mode has been pretty much a waste for me. Now it will be even harder to get through a season with multiple users involved. If they what this connected GM (online franchise) mode to succeed they need to give us the ability to customize the length of the season in our franchise. IMO...

This. I want an open game.

I've been so much discouraged with EA over the last few years with their Jack-in-the box presentations of new features while the product in the end was a deception that I cannot hope for anything more than if I'm John Tortorella answering questions in a press conference.

Brooksy : What do you expect from EA next week revealing GM Connected features?
Torts : That they will announce something next week
Brooksy : Are you excited about what's coming out next week?
Torts : I don't know, it's coming out next week?
Brooksy : Do you plan to play the mode if the features looks interesting?
Torts : Well' see when they reveal it.
Brooksy : What would you say to EA about the mode?
Torts : Nothing, the mode isn't out yet.
Brooksy : What would you have add in the mode if you we're EA?
Torts : I'm not EA, can't answer.
Torts : Thanks guys. *Raise and go by the door on the right*

I'm really hoping this 'deep Dynasty Mode' extends to the AHL, CHL and European leagues as well.

I would LOVE to run my own OHL club.

One thing I wonder is how similar this is going to be to Madden's Connected Careers mode. For the most part I like what I've seen out of that. I just hope NHL isn't removing features like they are.

If NHL can accomplish getting the sense of being in an actual living and breathing league, that will be a huge step forward from where we've been with Be A GM.

It would also be nice if the CPU teams start identifying what they are through the course of a season. For example teams like the Blue Jackets being a rebuilding team, the Pens being a championship contender, etc. If they were to add that and have the CPU AI construct their teams and make moves according to that, it would add so much more depth and replayability to GM mode.

hoping that they'll not IGNORE the "regular" GM mode and EA will implement ALL the features that they're promoting as new in NHL 13.

If it's anything like Madden, then it's going to be the same offline as it is online, which was mostly the reason they gutted everything for these "Connected" modes.
