Lets be honest, you all are going to buy it because on EASHL. I know I am. Nothing like it in any other sports games.

I've never had the need to edit players in any of my sports franchise games, so I am ok with that.

Thankfully there is no Zamboni racing- that'd be a waste

What they are really doing though is enraging the fanbase by not answering questions like that, I would rather know now in June that editing is not in the game then have to wait till September and be even more annoyed that they never told us. Editing isn't the only question the community here wants answered there are dozens of them and they are answering stupid questions about useless features.

I'm sure they're working on it. Ask EA is just a sort of poll to see what is the most requested. Those guys want what we want in the game. But sometimes if the big boss say no, it's no. Maybe it's not enough resources or money.

At E3 for NHL 14, the producer was wearing a Hartford Whalers T-Shirt. I mean that guy is a fan, trust me.

The Zamboni race, someone asked for it. I mean, Come on !

Have a deal with I-tunes or anything else. Or make a package of 25, 50 songs related to hockey. I will pay for the rights. The same with the goalie mask. They will not get any money from me with HUT. I don't even understand the mode. If I want Crosby on my team, I will use the Pittsburgh Penguins. Carey Price ? The Canadiens. All the top players? Use the All-Star team.

Good for you if people are spending money on HUT. Me, I'll pay for real music in the game, goalie gear and coaches and all NHL players cyberface.

The Zamboni race? Sorry I won't pay for that.

I'm just thankful for the EASHL coming back

It's obvious player editing is not in the game. They have dodged the question a lot.

They may be dodging it - because they're working on it.

You can't say something is either IN or it ISN'T and then flip flop either way.

Yeah, I have a hard time believing it's due to the NCAA lawsuits. That was a different animal. That was "infringing" on a person's individual likeness who wasn't being compensated.


There is a rights feel likely paid to the NHLPA that compensates them for their likeness in the game.


That being said, it could be their reason. NBA Live didn't have it. Madden doesn't. Fifa doesn't (to my knowledge), and NHL now doesn't. So, maybe that is their reason?


Was someone seriously asking about Zamboni racing?


I'm SO GLAD to hear in game Sims and intervention is back in Be A GM. I enjoy playing GM mode, I just cant play it in shortened seasons though, and 82 games takes forever to get through. Sometimes it's just nice to sim to the third period and try and wrap it up from there. Had some awesome challenges in the past down 2 or something going into the 3rd and dropping in to the game to try and pull off a comeback. Really happy that's back.


I want player editing back, mostly because I don't agree with their ratings a lot of the time. It won't be a dealbreaker for me, but it will hurt.


Having a lot of the modes back, and GM mode getting back up to snuff though really helps me with this game.


Lots of time between now and launch though, so hopefully we keep hearing more positives.
