Be a GM season length

[vladiator]

Does the game still not provide a choice to play a short NHL season and forces you to play 82 games, like it did last year?

Yup, still forced to play 82 game seasons in BAGM.

Anyone knows why EA does this? 2k games give you an option of shorter seasons.

Technically, you're not FORCED to play an 82-game season. There is the option to simulate. However, there is no way to shorten a season.

Yes, you are right about the simulation option, but then the season's results, stats, etc is not solely your achievement.

I sure hope this is brought up enough times by a big number of NHL gamers, to really get the attention of EA Canada.

Enough to were a customizable season length is added for NHL '12'. I'd be very pleased if we at least got a 41/82 game option for '12'.

For me anyway...a 41 game season would be nearly perfect. To were you'd play each of your four division rivals 4 times. [16 games] And then play the remaining 25 teams in the league once. 16+25=41. Of all the possible things that maybe added for next years game....a customizable season length, for me...is right near the very top of wants.

I remember buying 09 (hadn't played a hockey sim since 2k5) and it was just shocking that you had to play 82 games, should come with a a warning on the box for bagm players who have a full time job and dont want to watch the computer play your game, I dont get why it cant be an option, it seems so exlcuding to me, reminds me of apple (we don't like flash so you cant use it on your phone).

I just got NHL 12 & no such luck. I've been playing NBA 2K since 2009 & they have had a 29 game season & I love it. It seems like a super simple add on. You would think a downloadable update would solve the issue. To me the playoffs & off season are the best part of GM/franchise modes.
