Is the order in which game modes are localized or rebuilt on new-gen hardware determined from on-high? In other words, did higher-ups require your team to complete, for example, Ultimate Team before EASHL or OTP?

Has there been any thought of adding an online 7 game series mode? So I can challenge a friend to a 7 game series similar to the battle for the cup mode in previous versions but online.

Hahaha. I guess this question was missed. Or maybe its a secret lol.

What is the plan for the future of GM connected?

Why are one timers like the one at the :20 second mark in this video still in the game? I feel like great strides have been made in terms of creating a somewhat realistic representation of the physics of hockey, but this kind of a shot is physically impossible and has always stood out to me as something that I thought needed to be removed:



From that angle on a one timer, that should be a simple re-direct. Not even the best shooter in the world could rocket a one timer from that side on a shot like that. Aside from looking awkward, it also rewards people for not having good hockey sense to not pass to someone in that position, and encourages lazy play because they can score in unrealistic ways like that. Whereas if they had to get themselves in a better position to shoot after receiving the pass, there would be more natural puck support because they knew they couldn't get a shot off from that angle like that.

Also, are we able to edit our lines and save them for online play? Or at least use the HUT version of edit lines where it's just a one button switch, prior to online VS games? Because having to scroll through the entire team and replace guys individually takes way too long and is extremely tedious, and often times the guys who do the rosters are way off on the accuracy of the lines.

I am always critical but I do genuinely appreciate it when guys from the development team come on here and answer questions like this. Even if not everything we're saying can make it into the game, all that we can ask for is to be heard.

Hey Sean,
I've played NHL a lot over the last couple years and I already have the Ultimate Edition preordered for the Xbox One. But I am disappointed by the lack of game modes. Any notable features added to the game modes?
Also, will there be a returning user bonus is HUT, and if so, what will be the factors?

I really want to know if editing players is still possible. The entire Revamped Roster project depends on it.

Sean,

Is the edit a player option going to be available?
