General Franchise Mode Questions

[johnnydrum]

Watched a clip on YouTube yesterday---caught a screen shot of the OFFLINE menu and noticed theres no "SEASON MODE"?
I know I am in the minority of people who enjoy ths mode - (I prefer it because I like to control the Rosters of all the teams in order to keep the Rosters up to date with real trades)--so I will be dissapointed to see it no longer an option.
That said, I fully acknowldege EA dont need to satisfy the ancient whims of a 52 year old in the UK--and things change.....lol
(MLB the Show removed SEASON mode a few years ago--but as one was able to select ALL 30 teams---it was an easy work around)

So, it looks like if Iam to buy the NHL24 --and have to go via Franchise Mode (rather than Season Mode-offline) ask if anyone with any spare time I would be very grateful if anyone can shed some light on the MODES behaviour.

#Can you turn CPU Trades Off? (to prevent any bizarre CPU to CPU trades)?

#Does the CPU sim the results of the non HUMAN teams automatcally, or can I play my game--save progress----then sim each CPU game individually--(in order to prevent any silly/daft CPU scores?)

Again, fully apprecaiite that this might seem a bizarre way to play the game...lol...and I may be very much an "odd ball" (or "weird old pucker" -but hey, were all different right?)
I dont want people who enjoy such things as HUT/ On Line Play etc to feel that I am in anyway dismissing thier favourite Game Mode---we should all just enjoy the game and tailor it just the way we like --afterall there`s enough bloody sliders lol

Enjoy your weekend everyone.

Possibly be under the "more" tab?

If that wasn't in, Sleeves would have said something about it. Why? Because he can a channel member Season Mode with a full fantasy draft etc on 23. He is doing the same with 24, so again, IMO he would have mentioned that it wouldnt be there because of the success he had with running that league on his channel.

It could also be hidden under his beautiful beard 🤔

I just hope they didn’t remove SEASONS, that would be icing on the cake for me ! As if the cake isn’t bad enough as is…

If they didn’t change the menus, which I believe they didn’t… It should actually be under his beard, just under the NHL THREES 😀👀

Season mode is in, just seen it on a German video. So it was hidden in the beard 😉

Thinking about it mate, just having a look on the trial.

Just a pity they still don't record box scores and let us control all teams in franchise.

But definitely encouraging from a cpu v cpu perspective as I'm seeing penalties and fights which very rarely took place in previous versions.

Hoping the forthcoming patch with the changes they identified will make it even better.
