^lol, funny you said that when I said how those menus were my faves(and I never played those games lol)
Was watching gm connected video, and looks like their menu will be sorta like NHL04(where you choose your fave team,and the menu adjusts to that)
Hopefully it updates if you trade players. EX-In the pic, Habs have Bourque as one of the players. Lets say Habs traded him for Crosby. Then the menu pic would be updated, and Bourque would be out, and Crosby would be in the menu now, with that Habs logo too.
Looks like they got only headshots(with no jerseys) for player pics, so that'd make something like this better, cause it'd require less player photo updating.
