Online franchise mode is a must

[Travolterjohn]

In my Opinion an Online Franchise makes only sense to play with the real NHL Gameplay format of 82 regular Season Games including the real Playoff format. I want to invite my Friends to my self created online League to play with them, the rest of the Teams should be Computer controlled. I don’t like to play vs unknown people in Divisions like it is in EASHL. That’s not NHL for me. But of course, many Customers have many different wishes.

Yeah... I don’t need an online franchise. I rather play offline against the AI. If I want to play online I’ll go to HuT or Chel. All I want is roster sharing.

We all want Roster sharing. For me also not so important to have the Online Franchise but from the polls they started it was one of the biggest named wishes. So why not, EA should give it back to their Customers. If I want to have Customers back, give them what they have asked for.

Yeah, what I want are online leagues more than online franchise.

Take a look at what NBA2K did with their online modes for next gen. Would be nice to have that for a hockey game!!!

I like World of Chel a million times more than what 2K's Playstation Home debacle looks like. I love those kinds of modes, but menus are your friends.

That's why I never got into GMC back in the day. Default slider gameplay was so arcadey and you have to join a league with super sweaty people if you wanted a full human-controlled league. My friends and I played the heck out of the old "online leagues" mode where there were simple 1-to-1 trades and a simply single or double round-robin schedule + playoffs. I'll never get people wanting a inevitably CPU-dominant or sweaty randoms-dominant mode over a fully customizable league feature that will keep you and your trusted friends immersed and having fun throughout the year.

I totally agree both of you. There is a lot of people who doesn't have time or interest to play against random dudes and against AI controlled teams. For me fully customizable online season mode (you could choice how many teams, rounds and trades you like to have) with some guys could be a great joy. I mean using only 5-10 teams, and 2-4 rounds, and after that playoffs. Too many rounds and too many teams will ruin the online leagues, because it's hard to get timetables work and games played on my experience.
