    Re: NHL 18 Problems and Glitches

    Does this game feature a "live" functionality? For example, in Madden or MLB you can play a game that day, with up to date stats and commentary. Does this not exist in NHL 18?

      What's with the rookie glitch? Taylor Hall is considered a rookie in my franchise mode every time I start it. It makes no sense

        You must have edited him right? It's a well documented glitch.

          As the other poster said, you edited him. Editing any player 25 and under will make them a rookie. 26 and over are ok to edit.

                    Ah yeah want to know what the problem is with NHL? It's the same damn thing EVERY SINGLE YEAR. Hmm what was the year they featured the Winter Classic again? Yeah where is it now? Right...GONE. So you mean to tell me that you just teased every single NHL fan with a Winter Classic outdoor game and then you decide to eliminate it? Bravo EA. Well done. I thought that was a great add in and brought the excitement of outdoor hockey as it should always be. Next thing, Franchise mode. This whole thing needs a redo. Take a look at FIFA 18, NBA 2k18, and MLB The Show. Their franchise modes are so much in depth and having a news feature around the league or media coverage maybe highlights from CPU vs CPU games . Broadcast revamp . You take a look at NBA 2K 18 has a pregame show . Overall I just think that their needs to be some better presentation in this game . Make it feel like you're watching a televised broadcast and hearing what's happening around your franchise and your season/league like trades and contracts or whatever . Presentation like that brings realism to sports games and NHL 18 is missing a lot of pieces in that. They need to revamp their cut scenes and show players getting on and off the benches during whistles and getting in position for a face off rather then just cut right into a face off. It's just those little things make a difference when it comes to presentation that not everyone sees. Better scruffles after the whistles so that it's players all bunched up trying to break up a scrap and referees breaking it up and getting the arena crowd fired up like we've all seen on televised games today. Fighting can be a little better as well. In today's NHL you rarely ever see a one punch knockout , so why is it always seem like it goes down to the last man standing . Fight until the referees break it up! It's more realistic like we seen on TV also . I can't stress this enough but why haven't EA SPORTS NHL team add real coaches to the game? Every other sports game has real coaches and you can't have real coaches in NHL ?? Seriously?!! Ok so that makes me not want to play franchise. Why? Cause I want to have the option to fire Claude Julien and hire Bruce Cassidy like it really went down. This would be a great addition to franchise mode. The NHL All Star Weekend and skills competition. I would absolutely lose my mind if this was added. Not only would it be fun but to actually have a full all star weekend in NHL franchise mode or whatever mode would be amazing and a whole ton of fun. So this is when All Star voting becomes an exciting thing to keep track of to see who's leading in votes . Have an NHL trade deadline feature and Free Agent Frenzy feature. This adds a lot of realism and excitement leading up to who's getting traded etc etc in franchise mode. Frostbite engine! PLEASE! This would make graphics look a lot better and players would look like their actual selves. A lot of players DO NOT look like who they really are! It's sad actually. The final two things! Add WC tournament within franchise mode. FINALLY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. CAN WE PLEASE ADD YEAR TO YEAR SAVES! How about this. Save myself and everyone else who play franchise mode the struggle of redoing every roster every single year. Thankfully the team at MLB THE SHOW finally added this feature to their game and it has been great ever since. Now contracts mean a thing because I play by the real schedule like a lot of those who play franchise mode. I want to be able to transfer/upload my franchise mode from NHL 18 to NHL 19 for example. Let's say in my franchise mode Sidney Crosby got traded to Edmonton in 2018. I would then be able to purchase NHL 19 and be able to upload my franchise and continue it in NHL 19. What does this mean? It means that I don't have to do anything with rosters as for who got traded or signed with whatever team. Although the real Sidney Crosby will still be on Pittsburgh, my franchise mode Sidney Crosby will be in Edmonton. So to have this feature every year going forward would bring so much realism and simulation feel to a sports game that has so much potential to be a 5 star game. Presentation is key. If they worked on presentation and the little things that bring the game to life then this game would be phenomenal. Well that's all I got to say. I just think EA needs to see what the FIFA NBA2k and MLB teams do and how much they put into their franchise modes. That's all . Just bring the game to life again and everyone will be happy once again. I love this game and hockey and I would love to see it do well but right now it's just too dull and boring. I'm sure there's a lot out there who will agree .

                      Read above post

                      What you just described is the game i want to play! I don't understand how producing a game like this is so frickin difficult.

                      Who ever is in charge of producing the nhl game for EA is an idiot cause if he wanted to make his job easier, you just laid out what their game plan should be over the next few years , because of course this is ea sports and they can't give this all at once even though after all this time we frickin deserve it.

                      They need to fire everyone who contributes to the creative side of the nhl ea team who knows nothing about hockey and hire some hardcore hockey fans to tell them what they want. Basically they need to hire a couple people who represent the nhl gaming community and make them in charge of translating what the community wants to the people making the game.

                        I've got a quick question for anyone who customizes their rosters....when you do player movement where is the St. Louis Blues Farm team? In the franchise mode it says it should be the St. Louis Notes but i don't find that under the AHL teams and i can't figure out where all their farm team players are?

                              It's because the St. Louis Notes doesn't really exist. The AHL has fewer teams than the NHL right now, so the Avalanche and Blues are both affiliated with the San Antonio Rampage. Next year the AHL adds a new team thay will become the Avs sole affiliate though, at which point the Blues will be the only team affiliated with the Rampage.

                              Obviously the developers felt this was too complex of a situation for their franchise mode model to handle well so they made up a team to make it 1:1.

                                I just played NHL 18 for the first time in a bit. Can't believe I saw some bad frame rate drops at the beginning of an exhibition game. EA really ruined this series.
