    Will NHL 14 ADD MULTI USER GM MODE or PLAY ANY GAME?

    Just curious if NHL 14 will allow you to set up a MULTI USER GM Mode similar to how you can configure it in SINGLE SEASON mode?

    Or at least allow users to GM one team but still allow you to PLAY ANY GAME on the schedule the way you can in the NCAA FOOTBALL games and previous Maddens?

    I love jumping to random games around the league at times and playing out key match ups!

    I would love it if they did, but the way of EA (and many others) is online so I doubt we will see it.

      They haven't released any information beyond the normal. You will have to wait until a few months from now most likely. They don't announce this sort of information even at E3 usually.

        I have been waiting for this since NHL 2k8 had it. Not holding my breath as EA is all about online and pay to win modes now.

          Its called business. And its sadly what makes them money so it'll always be how they operate No reason to think otherwise.

            Re: Will NHL 14 ADD MULTI USER GM MODE or PLAY ANY GAME?

            Was this added to this years game?...does anyone know if either of these features is in for this year??

            I love being able to play with different teams throughout a season and Franchise in other sports games and wonder why I am forced to just play with one team in NHL Hockey???


            And another side note, I dont understand why with all this talk about the new enhanced realistic skating engine over the last 2 years there is no risk of player wipe outs to counter the reward of tight turns and pushing a player hard against his limits? This would at least force players to really think twice about going all out in certain situations...no?

              I haven't heard anything regarding these, so I highly doubt they're in the game.

                I beg to disagree. Sure there's element of business here...since they are the only producing hockey video game. But I call it plain BS, lazy and indifference from hockey enthusiasts. I really dont mind if EA would like to put modes that they could earn extra bucks....but if they continue to ignore some basic of the game (NZ pressure, goalie fatigue, group celebration after goal etc.) is mockery for us NHL die-hard fans.

                    Man, I cannot believe they still havent added MULTI USER GM Mode yet, we need more people bitching to EA about this.

                      This quote from another website review seems to indicate that there is indeed multi franchise mode control...so someone hopefully can clear this up

                      "The crazy part of the GM Connected option, though, is that as many as 750 players can play in one league at a time. Of course, it's broken down by GM, Commissioner, or as a player."


                      I just dont want to play an entire career with one team all the time....I'd like to sample league play with a few different teams from time to time in GM mode to get a different feel for their play styles (if EA actually has different teams play differently)

                        Can only control 1 team in Be a GM and you are restricted to that team's games.

                        Only way to play other games is via season mode and select all teams as user controlled.

                        No changes in this area again.

                          Not to sound like the typical whiney brat...but this is an absolute deal breaker at least for me which will have me hold off on the purchase. And I am only saying this because I really get quite disinterested and bored playing with just one team throughout an entire franchise.....


                          The way I enjoy playing franchise modes in other sports games (that actually allow full control) is to control it in a more sand box (god mode) style of play in which I can jump from team to team randomly around and play out key matchups and games...then also play out all the post season matchups.

                          Its much more enjoyable to play this way for me simply because it allows me to get a more dynamic feel of the different teams personnel, play styles and skill sets that adds a variety to the career mode that playing with one team just cant create


                          So I feel a sports game must either allow the player to have full control of all the teams in the Franchise OR at least allow them the full control of the League's schedule to jump in and play any team's game they choose...........

                          To me, What EA NHL does is as bad as if Activision forced every Call of Duty player to play their Campaign using only one weapon ....it makes no sense to me.

                            Totally agree with you Darkfudge....exactly what I like doing in franchise mode and watching the games play out as cpu v cpu....as I say, sadly this can only been done in season mode again this year.

                              thnx...I really thought I was alone in this way of playing....Im hoping others may come forward to, perhaps EA will see that some of us like to play a more sandbox style of Franchise Mode
