    ECHL BABY! I didn't expect there to be so much to process within this release. Improvements to goalies... Stadium customization... Franchise mode... A lot going on. I love it!

          Well, I was holding out hope for 30 user team control in Franchise mode, but I guess that's not happening

            No Connected GM and still no option to play shorter seasons in single player franchise, no mention of any online tournments with friends (set up a 7 game series vs an Online friend). Seems like we are still stuck with stock player builds in EASHL. Looks like a skip for me or I'll grab it when it's half price. I will give it try through ea access but as of now nothing I was looking for is in this game.

              Doesn't sound like editing will be that great. Nothing about image importing and probably can't use it to create multiple teams / league.

                I am very excited. I really enjoyed NHL 16 and sounds like they are continuing to improve their product with their newest installment

                  Creating Teams is one thing I really wanted.
                  But I also want to be able to create prospects for Franchise Mode. Needs to be like NBA 2K16, where you can make draft classes for every year.

                    No GM Connected = no steelerfan.

                    With the caveat that if the gameplay is greatly improved and BAGM is worthwhile, I'd consider it. I'm not very hopeful for either though.

                    ECHL won't matter unless it is integrated into BAGM and 100 point sliders could be a welcomed addition, on a positive note.

                      Hope you can turn all the ticket/concessions crap off in BeaGM, I would rather stuff like goal totals added then messing with all that fluff.

                      Excited though.. as long as I can play and do GM stuff like signing and trading players and leaving the other stuff on auto, I'll be happy.

                        For sure, if they actually work/do anything. I'm not really sure that this day and age we'll ever have fully working sliders from any sports game. I don't think companies want to give users the ability to completely "break" the game with zero'd out sliders, given everyone is streaming and uploading stuff all the time. Then again, there are enough glitches and terrible videos out there to sink some products as they are I suppose...

                          Sounds stinking rad to me! I love a deep offline franchise mode. I hope the create a team/arena stuff is not only for EASHL.

                            To me, all these new game modes reads as very little done to the AI. Game modes dont fix the broken gameplay. Facepalm ...

                              I hope "Authentic Goalies" means:

                              -Goalies actually have normal reaction times when it comes to anticipating lateral movement. Seriously, the number of cross-crease onetimers that get turned aside with a routine sliding butterfly save is absolutely ridiculous. It does sound like there will be more desperation (or "athletic") saves triggered in these situations.

                              -Goalies will overcommit once in awhile and get drawn out of position.

                              -Short side saves are now routine. Note that I'm not talking about on onetimers or dekes, I'm talking straight shots off the wing that are headed to the closest side of goal. You very rarely see today's NHL goalies give one up short side. Could probably say the same for five hole. Not often that you see an NHL goalie beat through the wickets, unless it's on a deke in close.

                              -No more animations where the goalie ends up on his butt! I know this has minimal impact on gameplay, but it drives me nuts! You maybe saw this from pro goalies in the 1980s and 90s, but not any more. ALL goalies are taught to keep their crouch low and the weight on the balls of their feet. If anything, you're more likely to see an NHL goalie flat on his stomach than sitting on the ice.

                              -Fix the puckhandling glitches where the puck warps into the net off the goalie's stick.

                                I love what I am hearing about Franchise mode, I am just not sure if it is the same as Be a GM or a seperate mode entirely. I hope it is a Be a GM replacement. We'll see though.
