      I just want it to be where there is player differential and not every player playing as if they are Gretzky or Super Mario

        while I am admittedly excited to draft a couple times in Draft Champions, it also strikes me as pretty damn lazy that they need to pull more modes from existing games instead of coming up with something unique to NHL.

        also, Draft Champions (for both Madden and NHL) needs an offline head to head component where you can draft against your buddy on the couch. Insane that this doesn't exist.

                Take everything you read with a grain of salt....I was emailed this survey and I blasted them once again for NHL15 and for the horrible AI that has never been addressed. NEVER BEEN ADDRESSED. In what? 25 years. That statement alone is absolutely astounding. At least they've stopped pumping up their games with the lame promises of "much improved AI". I still buy the damn game almost every year but I'm just tired of the line of BS they feed us.

                  I did the survey this morning. I love maddens draft champ (as said above there needs to be a vs couch mode) however I don't know how this will translate to NHL. Pick a goalie then draft the best player available due to everyone sorta playes the same way appose to where madden where you will have massive gaps in your team.

                      Am I the only one that is skeptical? I mean this team has scrapped multiple things at the last minute before. I want to get excited but they've let me down so many times I can't allow myself to do it. I'll believe it all once we get around August and all of what they are saying actually makes it come launch.

                        Just based on how broad and filled with bs these feature descriptions are, my hopes the this game are pretty low.

                          How would Franchise be different from Be A GM?

                            That's exactly what I'm wondering and intrigued by.

                              I'm assuming in franchise mode you create a team from scratch and pick where they're from. As opposed to in Be a GM where you pick an existing team.
