    Re: NHL 20 Will Feature 33 Playable Alumni Teams - Available in Play Now & Franchise

    This is actually pretty cool. I’m happy to hear it. I wasn’t going to buy this year, but having a 12 year old hockey player in the house, i have to anyway. I’m just getting it on one console though. But I’ll definitely check out these teams too. If only we could get roster sharing now

      I guess you can change all current to Alumni like you can change all with own made Teams. Would be more happy to edit and implement only some single Alumni player younger, lesser rating and adding them to Junior Teams for later drafts in Franchise mode.

            Of course some are complaining.  It's the internet and some people just need to be crying about things, no matter what it is.....they just have to.  lol  I see this as a great addition to the game, but if I didn't I wouldn't be complaining.  It would just be another option that I would choose not to use.  The fact that people complain about having more options and ways to play is hilariously lame.

              You want to know why longtimers aren't impressed with this?

              Go look at that trailer for PES 2020.  Seriously, LOOK AT IT.  It's GORGEOUS.  It may not win any awards for just having all those environments, but you can tell Konami is trying to world-build here.  WRC 8 ships this week, and it appears they cribbed from Codemasters' F1 series--and I mean that as a COMPLIMENT.  MLB The Show is so immersive that you could be forgiven for mistaking a CPU vs CPU game for an actual broadcast.  (I had someone do just that, TWO YEARS AGO).

              And for solo players like me, where career modes are my chance to be someone I can't be in real life, there's got to be a "there" there.  World-building matters.  NHL 13 and 14 at least *tried* to do a little of that in Be a Pro.  But that feature set didn't make it onto the current generation, and isn't going to be in this year's edition, either

              Be A Pro was more feature-rich, HALF A DECADE AND AN ENTIRE HARDWARE GENERATION AGO.  Let that sink in.

              And instead of trying to rebuild a mode that had genuine depth, and could have become a genre defining career mode if they'd bothered sticking with it, they just abandoned the concept, gave us a gussied up version of Be a Pro that, functionally, is tough to distinguish from NHL 12, told us, in effect, to suck it up buttercup, and kept inventing ever more creative ways to yell "Squirrel!"

              That doesn't fly with me.  Sorry. 

              Matter of fact, if I were Gary Bettman right now, I'd consider the half-fast efforts from the past few years to be a breach of fiduciary duty on EA's part, and see if there was any way to pull the NHL license away from them.  The point of being licensed by the League, is to represent the League as best as possible--NOT to put out some warmed-over pablum "for the community" that bears little resemblance to the game as played in the actual League.

                Is there any chance we can replace every team with the alumni teams and play through that way?

                  As a swede, for me Sundin was more Quebec than Forsberg was. He was Colorado. But I guess Sundin will be in Toronto.


                  I liked the way 2K did it back in the day with actual season rosters instead of all star teams. However it is still nice to see this.

                    Are they really creating entire alumni teams or just a line or two of players per team? Won’t that be like 700 players?

                        Considering they have had all of them in previous games, creating attributes for them should just be a matter of converting game to game. And I guess there will be a lot of generic faces in that case... Could also be they have 33 alumni "teams" which would be like premade teams with old logos or something that you can chose from to put your collection of alumnis in...

                          At this point EA is trying to sell a car with no brakes and no steering by advertising about the large trunk space and the power windows. And hey, look! This car even has a power roof!
                          NFL- Green Bay Packers
                          NCAA- Florida State Seminoles
                          NHL- Carolina Hurricanes

                            Everything to be able to say "Look at all that we added this year ! We did not have time to work on AI, player separation and gameplay. Maybe next year.". Next year they will have another excuse, like the new console generation.

                            For me, this year is the perfect illustration that you can be lazy even if you work 24h a day by avoiding the really tough work .

                              I'm wondering if EA is still going to have retired numbers with this addition. If you can move the alumni players to their regular teams for Play Now or something, then it could be a mess if that's still there. But I would love to know if we can create other alumni players and add them to those teams.

                                I am a original six guy with 6 original six jerseys hanging up in my man cave plus 1 a Guy Lafluer Jersey from the Quebec Nordiques  when  will the  NHL  get them a team back I love their jerseys cannot wait to play them again. However remember NBA2K12 you could play as former old teams and the camera  would change like black and white  and 1970 television this would be real cool with hockey but I just don’t think the NHL dev team has the talent to pull this off
