[Steve_OS]

EA Sports has just released their NHL 17 franchise mode trailer, along with plenty of details in their latest blog. The team has re-branded Be A GM mode to Franchise Mode this year. Check them both out and post your thoughts!

Fan-favorite Be a GM mode expands to complete control of an entire franchise with the addition of unique team owners. Control your favorite club as the team president and lead them to Stanley Cup glory by managing the team and the business behind the scenes. Make game changing decisions from player personnel, ticket prices, marketing, arena upgrades, and even relocation – all from under the watchful eye of a demanding owner with challenging goals.

Color me excited. Hopefully this is fleshed out properly.

I just want better game play. Don't really care about popcorn pricing and bobblehead giveaways.

I feel you on that. That said, if the 100 point sliders actually help with the on-ice product, this could be a welcome addition.

It will definitely help add some new flavor to the GM mode, though hopefully it can all be given to an underling if you don't want to bother with it.

Also, I really hope the relocation has predetermined alignment changes. If I move a team from the East coast to the West, I don't want to be in the Metro still...

GM FIRING You can now get fired part way through your existing contract if the owners Patience Attribute is low enough, and his Happiness with your performance is low. Obviously, the more patient the owner, the leeway he will have when it comes to failure or a ‘long term’ vision, but the low happiness of the owner can cause you to get fired regardless of how patient he may otherwise be. Furthermore, the happiness of your owner at the time of your last contract (expiry or firing) will dictate the quantity and quality of teams that will vie for your services.

Can this be turned off?
