Think how we feel. It is weird how much we as a team have missed working on these. The fact it is back now has us all stoked to get working on this.

I think I want to make our process more transparent this year. I'm thinking of making the googledoc we work in visible to everybody once we get it up and running. Everyone will be able to see what we are doing and what we are working on, but only we will be able to edit things in there.

This will make it easier for people to give us suggestions based off a rating they might disagree with.

How is it handled when using these in GM mode? My thought is that it would be great for the first season or two but what happens after a few offseasons when players start coming into the league with different rating scales? will we need to edit the prospects each year to comply with the scale of all current NHLers?

I have to tell you I'm really stoked. It really sucked not having a hockey game to play this year. I have everything back I wanted. Season mode, full 30 team control, roster control and editing. Revamped rosters will be sweet delicious icing on the cake. Thanks guys for undertaking this project it is one of the main reasons we bombarded them about player edit in the first place and thanks again EA for listening.

EA's prospects actually fit better into our ratings scale than they do in EA's. The top draft picks are rated in the 70's usually. For our rosters, they would be immediately be a 2nd or 3rd liner - which is very true to life. In EA's roster, the #1 draft pick won't even be close to cracking the NHL lineup.

And it sounds like we will be able to edit ratings this year in BaGM. So you can fine-tune the rookies if we need to.

As a bolts fan this year in NHL, I couldn't even start a GM mode. I was waiting for them to update "the triplets" above 83-86 ovr with top 9 fwd potential. But they never did. I mean they were only the best line in hockey all year, but I digress. Needless to say I can't wait for this project and game to drop so I can finally enjoy some hockey on my ps4!
