Holy cow! Was not expecting that this year. That’s pretty huge. I haven’t gotten a chance to read the full article yet, but with real coaches being introduced, will the CPU still generate generic coaches that are capable of taking over if someone needs to be fired? I also wonder if the real coaches will retire.

Edit: after reading the full notes, I still have so many questions about the real coaches. How will introducing real coaches affect the overall longevity of franchise. Can they still be fired? Will they retire? Will the CPU still generate usable generic coaches? Etc. etc.

Was just thinking last night with the new Grudge match system, them showing the random generated coaches sucked and thought we wouldn't see real coaches till 26.

Love this.

I'm guessing existing franchises won't have this?

Draft pick year has been corrected. Beauty.

Can someone please check if the draft pick issue has been corrected on existing rosters or if its only on rosters moving forward?

Oh they added the flex celebration does not auto-start and only trigger if you hit Y/Triangle.

Are these the fortnite style celebrations?

Can confirm I can not select draft year 2024 for new created players unless that fix comes in the roster update.

Is there anything new on the roster update? Or just adding the coaches?

I didnt check. Got annoyed and turned it off. Good question though. Curious if this was the AHL update.

I checked missing AHL ECHL and SHL players and they are still missing. So appears as of now to be the Jerseys and Coaches.

Okay so you would need to restart to get the coaches, but still I was surprised by this as well. I don't think their likenesses are on the bench since this seems like a late add though.

I'm not crazy right, no one else sees their actual likeness on the bench, yeah?
