- Better rookie scouting system

One big mode, with skill points accumulating along the way. 2 - Personal backstory. The effectiveness of any good leader often comes from his personal experiences, not just his professional experiences. A solid backstory, with random events, meant to challenge or ease the job.

you have an idea how to actually make that fun? how long does it take in real life hours to get BAP to retirement?

Precisely. And just to add to what you're saying

I mean, out there, what is the best Franchise mode.. Fifa or MLB the show?

Every game has their perks, and NHL would have to match the following for me to call it the best franchise ever:

-More Leagues like ECHL, KHL, Allsvenskan, NCAA (FIFA)
-Free Agent Bidding (Madden)
-Hire Fire Coaches, REAL COACHES (MLB)
-Income/Revenue/Advertising (MLB)
-Better Scouting. They say they have a 'scout' but if that was true, Yakupov wouldn't go in the 7th round... (NCAA)
-Roster Share (NCAA/MLB)
-WJHC (MLB Futures game... i know CHL prospect game is there but mehh)
-Allstar Festivities (meh) (MLB/NBA)
-Expansion/Relocation (Madden)
-Full exhibition/training camp schedule (MLB)
-Interactive draft (NBA)


Those are just a few things. Not per se make or break things for me, but if they want to be the best franchise mode ever, they're going to need to really step their **** up.

Well GM mode needs to be restricted to just the one user controlled team,....otherwise,you`re able to intervene into every club`s business which would negate the whole point of BaGM.

In Season mode and Playoffs,you can control all teams and control all their roster moves and such,as well as play all the games using all the teams.
I`m assuming that these modes will still be in the game.

It would be nice if there was more info coming out.
It`s hockey,it`s not necessary to make everything in the game a big SECRET.

Having the info is what creates the hype,as long as it`s good news.

Keeping it a secret till the last seconds,doesn`t create hype,.....it creates rumours and speculation,and grumbing and complaining(obviously,bad news should be kept secret,and not released...foreshadowing maybe?)

It`s not like they have to protect info from competitors.

Don't say that too loud in front of some Madden folks. God forbid they can't control every team and run the entire league. Point it out how it pretty much defeats the purpose of gm mode and they skin you alive.

I want everything that's in the "NHL 13 Be A GM Community Wishlist" thread.

Possible stupid question time...

Is GM Connected just the new Be A GM mode with online capabilities? In other words, if I'm just wanting to do a standard franchise mode, controlling the Blackhawks will I start a "GM Connected" mode or will it still be called Be A GM?

Also, what's that I read about the draft? We can't draft our players? What the?
