No Shorter Season Option in NHL 13 GM Connected Mode, But You Can Sim Games

How is free agency going to be handled. Not so much in the off season, moreso right after the season begins. The biggest problem in madden was no bidding process for free agents. Someone would just sign any free agents they wanted. First come first serve. What measures are in place to keep free agent signings fair for all involved?

Ouch! I didn't thought one bit about that part of the GM duties. Is it going to be random from teams making an offer? Will each players have a preset list of teams he would play on base on criteria like season wins, championship, etc.

The toughest part for EA will be to find a way to make the "My Wife don't want me to play there" involved in the process. I mean, we know it's in the game since Pronger's wife didn't want to stay in Edmonton while Mrs. Nash wanted no part of crossing the borders.

Kidding aside, I really don't know what it's going to be for the UFA but one thing for sure, if handled a bad way, it could led to many headaches!
