    Nice feature list Chase. Hopefully EA is listening. The career mode has been stale for years and in need of a major facelift IMO. But none of this will matter if the actual gameplay on the ice is subpar.

                The Revamped Rosters will return if/when EA adds roster sharing. I’d like to expand it to include a bunch of options:

                Revamped Rosters 2020-21
                Revamped Rosters All Time
                Revamped Rosters 1997 (or sometime around that... big Eric Lindros fan here)
                Revamped Rosters 1980 Olympics

                Every attribute for every player gets modified. Attributes like passing, shooting, shot blocking, faceoffs, etc based on statistics. Attributes like speed and agility based on scouting reports.

                Let’s turn the clocks back to 2014 (for those of you who have been around here that long and remember).

                Just waiting on you to pass me the torch, EA.

                  So the one game where you can make players play closely to how they do in real life, you can't roster share? If so, typical EASports.

                    In addition to all the traditional and extreme sports, there's also the teensy-weensy matter of motorsports.  F1 2020 is flat out amazing, WRC 9 may well end up being similarly good, you can't ignore Milestone's motorcycle games (MotoGP 20 and RIDE 4), and if Project CARS 3 turns out to be better than the first announcements...that's a lot of competition, just for sports games.  Now throw Cyberpunk 2077 in the mix.
                    I don't think NHL 21 is going to NEED, per se, the biggest miracle since Lake Placid.  But yelling "Squirrel" and charging full price admission simply won't cut it this year.

                      5 Good points. Want to have more possibilities to create better Player faces also to change EA generic faces which are looking mostly very ugly. Also a Pic upload for the black and empty Player profiles, same as a Goalie mask creator and more customization Equipment.

                        crazy that there's no "Euro Franchise Mode" in this game and it's also crazy that we don't have 32-team franchise control. Very industry standard things are missing in this game. 21 is an easy skip atm, and it'd have to be just a ridiculously ground-breaking year to change that.

                          To be fair, though, Euro franchise is a bit much of an ask.  This is NHL 21, not IIHF 21.  I wouldn't expect a theoretical MLS  game, to offer a full-featured experience in the Italian league.
                          The flagship organization--NHL, in this case--has to be the focus.  The reason FIFA games can cover so many leagues, is because FIFA is an umbrella organization for all the lower leagues.
                          Now, in theory, if some developer OTHER than EA, were to put out a licensed IIHF game...

                            Hockey is my 2nd favorite sport behind Puroresu. I agree 1000% behind all of his wishes. It's almost like EA simple doesn't care for the Hockey series anymore. It's almost like they are trying to drive people away from buying their games.

                              2 Cpu vs Cpu fights ( there are none)..
                              3 Throwback Goalie masks ( EA took em out)..
                              4 No helmet option (EA removed this option)
                              5 Stop removing things from game..
