    Re: NHL 16 Create-a-Player question

    You cannot edit player names. I wanted to do classic team to. Retired numbers are also set with all teams which I believe was an option to turn off in older generation NHL games. You are forced with retired numbers so you could try and create greats from the past. Try and create Robitaille or Gretzky, they cannot wear 20 or 99 on the Kings

    I actually can turn off retired numbers. At least in season mode. Any idea why EA does not allow us to exit names? You can in Madden. Is a license issue with the NHL?

      Can you create a rookie? Every time I create a player he doesn't have a rookie status.

        Not outright. However, I think if you create a prospect that has been drafted by your team and put him on a Euro team, you can sign him at the beginning of a season and he may have rookie status.

          Create a player....want to add in some new guys/rookies such as Artemi Panarin, but it wont let me have a "no play by play option"---obviously when a players name isnt in the data base, you could select "none" on the play by play name tab?
          Honestly this game is dwindling day by day......theres still SO MANY things MISSING that were in previous titles.

            Same as in '15, right? Ruins it for me honestly. I don't care to be called "Slapshot". It's corny.

              Found a way
              Create a player.....so for instance Paranin.....look down the suggestions for "P" and choose PUNNENOVS
              I know that theres never been a player called that so no way would they have Doc and Ed "call his name"
              It just remains nameless on the play by play

                That's awesome. This works? Why they wouldn't just add a "no play by play name" option is beyond me. Maybe I will end up picking up the game.

                  How do you turn off retired numbers. This would be good

                    It gives you the option of turning off retired numbers when you set up a season. Not sure if you can with be a GM mode.

                      Actually, there is a goalie in the NLA called Ivars Punnenovs(http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=79446)

                          This is awesome! Thanks for advising. Now I can finally create a few players without having to worry about them not being called by the correct name. I don't know why they didn't just provide an option for no play by play name calling like in previous iterations of the game.

                          Thanks again.

                            When u create a rookie is there anyway to make him a rookie in be a GM. When I made Panarin for the Hawks he wasn't the n the rookie scoring section and couldn't win the Calder even tho he was top in rookie points and goals.

                              Two questions...

                              1) If I create a female player will the commentators still call her a he or him?

                              I have not played since NHL 13, so am not sure if this was ever changed. It kinda drove me crazy being called he, and him all the time.

                              2) Can I create a player, put whatever ratings I want on them and use them in GM mode?

                              Or is the create a player option only to BeAPro and you have to "level up" so to say..
