Looking nice.

But you guys at EA could just call me and I would send you some proper authentic vintage hockey sticks textures at 4K resolution

The Blackhawks NHL 20 Alumni Team showcases some all-time greats like Stan Mikita, Jeremy Roenick and Chris Chelios!

This may not seem like much to everyone, but as a huge hockey fan in the 90s and early 2000s, this makes this a day 1 purchase for me.

Yup, I fell in love with hockey when the Avs came to town and won the Stanley Cup their first year, so being able to use their greats now and optionally in franchise.... It's pretty cool.

Too little.  Too late.
This is just a different way to yell "Squirrel!" and avoid fixing the issues that have dogged this franchise for years.

Will you be able to trade alumni players to the regular NHL teams.

This really is the worst development team I could ever remember.

Piss poor.

I can't believe (actually I totally do) that people are complaining about this. Can't wait to play with the Nordiques again for real.

Will it be possible to change the players age. Can I move single players into current NHL Teams? Dont want to change a Team with an Alumni and don't want to use it as a 32nd Team

Thinking the exact same thing when I read those posts.

The reason people complain is because since this series arrived on current gen with NHL 15 there has not been a single improvement to the AI or player separation. Instead we’ve gotten create an arena, create a mascot, NHL 3s, NHL 1s, CHEL, snazzy toques, and now this.
Sure they added stick sweep, improved skating, and now signature shots but not one of those things changed the fact that the AI is flat out bad. None of it has changed the fact that a 4th line scrub will play almost exactly like all these alumni greats.
I’m not saying some of these additions through the years aren’t good but the core gameplay is flat out bad and a poor representation of the sport we all love. Legacy issues abound, feedback from the community ignored, the same wandering clueless AI, and once again every player and every team will feel exactly the same. That’s what people are tired of.

OK so just to be clear, can we add just one alumni team as say an expansion team(which would be pointless) or can we replace all teams for an all alumni franchise (which would be great!)
