      Unlikely as Season Mode is aimed at catering for Multiplayer. Why a more in depth Career Mode cannot include such a feature I don't know.

          I loved getting my legends card however the game is so much better when everyone isn't amazing at everything. I like the change but hopefully it's a little more dynamic then just picking sniper or grinder.

            "Superstar Authenticity

            Enhanced facial features and new equipment details synonymous with the leagueโ€™s top players adds another layer of player authenticity. Use these new equipment elements to customize your own created character giving them a unique look, from custom stick tape, colored skate laces, tinted visors, and more"

            ....well a good start would be to put the Reebok 10K helmet that Sidney Crosby wears back into the game. No idea why it disappeared when the 11K came out, as most of Reebok's guys, including, you know, the game's most recognizable player still wear the 10K. But, in typical EA fashion, if it's in the game, it's probably NOT in our game.

                This is what NHL15 should've been. Personally I'm fine with the new EASHL, even though I enjoyed the grind to L3, I appreciate the preset builds as a way to promote player skill and team work. Maybe people will play less 2's now that the fast grinder build is no longer available

                  Excited to hear or hopefull that they indeed took Boosts out of the EASHL. I can now stop playing Ultimate team and wasting money. Look forward to paying $60 for one game and no add-ons. Maybe EA is just giving the EASHL fans who complained so much last year, a one year pass on Microtransactions. Hard to believe if true.

                    Totally agree with: "If I'm more hesitant to believe in something coming through, it would be noticing huge differences on the ice as NHL still struggles at times to even make the really great players feel much different from much worse players."

                    I only play offline Franchise mode in sports games, including the NHL series. The two things I most wanted, in order, are (as you folks said) more differentiation based on the rating attributes, and better tracking of player bios, stats and awards. For me, the whole "morale" thing is silly if I don't have the immersion of being able to follow the careers of the players by looking at their player card. I'll wait for the reviews and then decide (of course, I say that every year and end up buying anyway, so there's that).

                        I hope they do something with the awful animation when you score a goal and the one player jumps on the others back after scoring a goal. This just does not look right.

                              As much as I like this, I hope its not all of a sudden having beard during playoffs. I want to see "progression" and not just a "miracle" that as soon as the playoff starts, all players have beards.

                                EA has mentioned that there will be progression in terms of beard growth as the playoffs goes on. However, I think in terms of miracle beards just appearing as the playoffs begin...I think we will see that. Hopefully, the beards in the first round are pretty short, that way it looks like guys just stopped shaving when the regular season ended and the days off added some hair growth. But, we won't really know for a bit.
