Anything Left For BeAGM

[06woz]

Do you think there is really anything left to learn about BeAGM?

We already know...

Pre Season
RFA's(and offer sheets)
5 player per team trades
Can trade up to 6 years worth of draft picks
New rookie generation(real players as well, like Larsson in next years draft)
Integration of current CHL players into the NHL(player rights)
Improved Free Agency and Trade logic

It is unknown whether you can send players with CHL rights back to the Juniors however.

Also unknown is how they will deal with teams that have College prospects(will there be NO college prospects? like Merill, Sheahan)

I doubt they have any huge info left for this mode.

Without commenting on your list -- I'm not sure from where you're piecing the info together, so I'm still playing it safe -- I will say there are a few things waiting to be discovered.

I hope they Will announce the ability to ser the scores from other games. Now it feels very alone in bagm.

Re: Anything Left For BeAGM

I'm hoping one of these things waiting to be discovered is a generally more alive feeling league, similar to 2k10. It was nice to get scores and headlines from around the league, something that's been lacking in this series for awhile now.

I noticed in the cup mode on the demo that the little transactions window has a few more options this year that you can flip through with the right stick, could be a good sign.

I'd still like to know if they tweaked the sim engine and did anything about the limited access to player information (can't view rosters of other teams, limited ability to view stats and accomplishments of all players, including retired). As an offline gamer, those are pretty important to me!

Do we know if we'll be able to take control of a CHL team?

Re: Anything Left For BeAGM

One of the things I'm really hoping for this year in BEAGM is...a league and team newspaper type of thing. I always enjoyed this feature years ago in Madden, and I think it's in NCAA now. It's just kinda nice to have something visual to look at, to help keep up with league happenings etc.. Kind of like Adayinthelife mentioned.

This ^^^ More info on other happenings around the league would go a long way making BAGM more immersive and feeling more realistic, even if its just generated stats like 2k10 had in its NHL Today setup. Course ultimately, I'd love a weekly wrapup show like The Extra Point in Madden but I'm greedy like that.

You can control a CHL team in a full season mode with the Memorial Cup (if you qualify of course) or play the Memorial Cup by itself.

These are both excellent ideas, exactly what I was thinking. Even if it's not too deep right off the bat, just at the very least something to breathe some life into the rest of the league. I know some crazy **** is going on somewhere around the league because guys are always posting big numbers!

So you can take say an OHL team all through their regular season, then playoffs, then if you win that the Memorial Cup? Wow.

I know some of the items are from the September issue of Game Informer, namely the five-player per team trades and referencing the improved trade logic. Other than a revamped presentation, i.e. like others are saying with a better idea of what else is going on around the league, scoreboard ticker, etc. Perhaps the ability to play Be A GM games multiplayer, with an Xbox Live friend, or something of that nature. Can't wait to find out what it is....

Re: Anything Left For BeAGM

Still crossing figures for customizable seasons!! Although I think it's kind of doubtful, I'm guessing the sim engine can't handle that right now for some reason..

I'm believe so, yes. IIRC that was in the original CHL integration announcement/press release, hence why I can talk about it.

I don't know what EA was referring to when they told us to stay tuned for a "major announcement" about BAGM. I can think of something I think is major -- some may disagree -- but what I meant by "things to be discovered" was more smaller improvements you'll never hear about in a magazine preview/review.

Re: Anything Left For BeAGM

Rammer said there is still a "huge announcement regarding BeaGM mode offline" a few weeks ago in a blog, so I'm thinking within the next 10-12 days, EA is probably going to unveil what's left to say about Be a Pro and Be a GM.
My guess is there is only a few things left for them to tell us regarding new add-ons in GM mode.

The help menu on the demo has all the info he listed, as well as the attribute definations I noticed.
