I dont trust anything from this game until I see it. AI needs to be improved, goalies need to be improved and they really need to stop making the game too easy to play. More realism all around is sorely needed.

I haven't gotten an NHL game in a few years, but am considering it.
- Editing current players is a must for me.
- And I'd really like to be able to Create a team.
- Also, can you edit the draft classes and make your own prospects?

You can do none of that.

You can't edit any of the real players or create a team but you can create a prospect and put him in the minor leagues and this should make him draftable in Be a GM.

Pretty simple for me - if I can't edit players I'm not buying it. Didn't buy this year's iteration and I guess I won't buy next year's either. Actually, I won't buy it until they open up the game in GM mode so I can edit any player on any team in any way I see fit - and that includes the ability to access the library of faces they have for created players so I don't have 1/4 of my line-up skating around looking like triplets. EA messes up ratings, doesn't update ratings, and screws up player progression. If you allow the person who buys the product to fix it for you, you have thousands of people who buy your game and are happy - and if you don't they'll spend their dollars elsewhere. No reason whatsoever beyond the egos of the designers to lock up those editing features which are open in so many other games.

i could care less about player editor.
i pretty much have about 2 hours a week to play now.
i there isnt much better player seperation and rehauled goalies and goalie differential. i wont get it.
the game was just simply not fun and way too repetitive to play last year.

The confidence mechanic could be really awful if they implement it as they have in Madden. ...Madden is all about production if your cb doesn't get an int every game he drops 4 confidence or more. Then if he happens to get one but you lose the game he drops anyway. Then they don't reset after the season so if your team stunk you are pretty much screwed for years. Atleast in Madden you can cut the players whose confidence is broken....I'll definitely be waiting for hands on reviews before getting this game.

This was not only last year or the other year's issue, its an on going issue. How come when it comes to roster sharing or roster update, most games outside EA are allowing roster sharing and doing at least 2x a week roster updates? Sorry to hurt your feeling but EA SUCKS big time when it comes to player differentiation and roster updates.

Bingo! Obviously, that person never played with the revamped rosters...if he did, he may have developed an apreciation for PROPER rosters. Honestly tho...there are 2 types of NHL gamers....the arcade types and the sim types. I love sim style games....I want to play an authentic style of game. EA should accommodate both styles. Give us sim-heads the options to make the game as accurate to real life as possible. And let the arcade lovers just play.
