Top 5 Changes Needed For NHL 18 Franchise Mode
 

Mike Lowe checks in again today with the top 5 changes needed for NHL 18 Franchise mode. Check it out and let us know what changes you would like to see.

The majority of us are offline/pre online players
Annual buyers...we even buy Consoles just to play NHL
Obviously we'd love a pc version again
But most of our wishlist revolves around former NHL modes/options/settings .
Nobody complains about the graphics and game play. It's amazing how far it's evolved .
Basic things were looking for are ;
1) contract extensions anytime
2) coaching/scouting/management (hiring/firing for improving or shakeups)
3) roster sharing (As relocation was in madden before NHL)
this feature is a blockbuster waiting to happen
4) Decades Era/Legend Rosters
Like you had for Montreal anniversary and also the 2 legend teams previously
WE'RE dying to play franchise mode with Retro Rosters ..or just exhibition with our childhood heros
Imagine all 30 Teams with their franchise icons.

Retro roster is impossible todo. You would have to pay every past player

1. boxscores to view when you click the scores on the calendar
2. some type of NHL tonite highlite show or highlites during games ( like nhl 93)
3. league leaders section
4. ability to edit NHL player names- like the 2k series
5. fantasy draft with all fictional players
6.more injuries during simmed games. Seems like if you look at other teams stats almost every guy is playing at least 75+ games. need more cpu callups due to injuries etc

1 thing OP, the Trade Deadline is actually March 1st(or incase this year it was the 28th because of leap year). that is why you didnt see any deadline deals, because you essentially still have a week until the date comes.

Definitely agree with ability to edit players, and with having league leaders, but just league leaders is not enough. I would like more detailed season and career stats, history of awards and cups won, teams played for, etc. It makes a game so much more immersive if I can look around and check out the careers of players I have seen throughout the seasons I have played.

I'd like to add having the ability to at least edit jersey numbers of all other teams in franchise mode. Nothing annoys me more then playing against a goalie wearing jersey number 2 or a forward with number 31. Also hopefully integration of the echl in franchise mode.

Why is Mike Lowe so tiny?
