Nothing at all about Be A Pro. Very disappointing.

Only Custom Leagues for Franchise mode. Very dissapointed. Will do like last year as bought in used condition from private

I must say, the custom league thing is something I've wanted for quite a while. I just don't have time to play a full 82 game schedule so I start seasons and never finish. I like what I've seen from the gameplay videos as it seems less chaotic, though I've been burned before.

I'm actually excited to play this game this year.

So can we user control every team in our Custom League or not? They didn’t really confirm or deny that. I saw a select button in Division/Conference was that there before? There was only one user controlled team though.

A lot of this is moot for me if I can’t control more than one team….

Indeed but can we control every team in our Custom league? That’s the one elephant in the room for me that’s agitating me lmao

Just custom leagues added to franchise? Nah man, you have to do better than that. Not even any mention of how franchise logic was improved.

Sounding like a skip from me this year.

I really like the custom league options. Probably should have been in 15 years ago (in fact I am pretty sure it was in NHL '98 on the PC)....but better late than never I suppose. As an offline guy who doesn't have time for 82 games and doesn't like to sim, this may be my first purchase since '08.

Do you think we’ll be able to have custom leagues for season mode? 🙏 If not it’s a no for me.

I can confirm from a dev that you can’t user control every team in Custom Leagues. Presumably I’d take that as meaning you can only control one team in your custom league Franchise I think that’s a pretty big oversight by them imo.

I'm not a hockey fan, but seeing all the ho-hum responses in here, don't you all realize this blows Madden out of the water? I'd trade this effort for any I've seen from their developers.

Extremely disappointing and a massive omission.

if you have to use the NHL players in the custom league I will be pissed.
You should have the ability to use no NHL teams or NHL players.

True but despite all of that you guys do get to have full user team control in Madden franchises lmao it’s a bit tedious to set up but it can be done.

All that said yes I agree EA’s NHL team gives more of an effort than Madden’s especially when you consider how rich the Madden Franchise is in comparison to them. What’s frustrating with the NHL team is that for every step forward they take there will always be some glaring omission or lack of foresight that prevents it from being a Great Sports game.

I Couldn’t agree more, I think a lot of people will be pissed when they figure this out for themselves on the release day. It they are trying to give us more customization I don’t know why they would gloss past that.

I’ve suggested that they patch it in or at the bare minimum make it a Priority to expand the mode in 24. If you want to voice your support for it feel free to go tell them on the official EA NHL Boards like I did lol
