His answer regarding custom music is both encouraging & disappointing. Hopefully it comes sooner rather than later, but I don't understand how licensing is an issue if I would be the only person hearing the music I assigned & you could put any music in the game from NHL 09-Legacy. Then again, I'm not in his position so he knows more than I do

[il_tedesco]

No, there are no Adidas jerseys. Now we got ccm jerseys when creating teams. And i love how he basically said, that they dont care about gm mode 😂

[cup4blues]

Goalies taking control of the extra skater on a delayed penalty?

"Yeah it's something that we talk about every year, but we only have so much time to put features in. I mean, the mechanic already exists in the game, and it was something that we had in the game for a week a couple years ago, and it would take less than a day to actually fix the code. But.......I mean.........we only have so much time and features have to get put on the back burner.........even though we talk about it every year........and.......the mechanic already exists............and we already had it in the game once...................soooo....................ye ah it's not gonna happen any time soon."

The fact that there is a total of 1:17 w/regards to "other changes made in franchise mode" makes me think that I'll not enjoy listening to this...

This interview is a big FU to all Franchise Players. He doesnt even know anything besides the scouting changes.

To save you any hassle he basically said "yeh scoutings the big change, there's a few things to help flow, but that's the big change.
I got a guy here who's a big GM player but I'm more an online guy blah blah blah..."

Won't get that 1:17 back.

Poor guy, man. He seems so uninterested and uninformed. Maybe it’s time to move on. Nice to see other developers get a bit more camera time this year.
