Re: NHL 13 GM Connected Mode Revealed with Video and Blog

is this like madden where only one user per console? offline and on? or can my brother and i play with two different teams in one offline/console gm mode? i cant find a clear answer anywhere

One person per console as far as I can tell. The only way I could see it working is if one of you plays the games in each tick then sign out and the other person signs in to play their games. This would mean you wouldn't be able to play the games against each other teams though. This is the only way I can imagine controlling multiple teams in the same GM Connected on the same console but again, I'm not completely sure if this would work either.

No problem man. Personally, I don't have any problems with this but I could see how it would upset some people. It would be nice to have the option to play it that way.

I don't know how much programming it would take on EA's end to give us all the options that we want, but I've always felt that if they could give us enough options to customize it to our liking, they would simply have to provide the building blocks for everyone to play it the way that they want to. I really like the way that MLB The Show does this. They give us the options to do things like control all teams and edit player ratings in franchise mode. When they introduce a new feature such as a new hitting or pitching interface, we always have the option to still play with the old interfaces instead of being forced into the new features. If someone doesn't like having options like this, they simply don't have to use them.

well i still want the game but will probably just wait til its discounted but since my brother and i are both big fans i figure why should we both buy a ps3 and a copy of the game when we live in the same house.. i agree just give us options that doesnt hurt anyone

Yes, no custom sliders in GM Connected, although the commish can select one of the game style presets (eg, Hardcore). As I understand it, the offline mode is separate and still the the BAGM we know & love (ahem). Both utilize the new GM Brain features, so no need to do GM Connected for a strictly offline experience.

So, does that mean that i can still play with my friend using one console. Like we've been playing 4 yers now, we start BEAGM-mode and play it as Bruins together, in same team. I'm confused..

Yes you should be able to do so in the regular Be A GM just not GM Connected. Hope that helps.

Sure hope we can, thanks Because in Madden13 we are not able to play franchise mode/Coach mode together with same team anymore, so that kind of ruined madden for us. So if we can´t play NHL13 neither, i don't know if i can take it, haha.
I just can't understand why EA would'nt let us play franchise mode (Madden) or beagm (nhl) together on one console.
