Yes, right here:

1. Marty Brodeur




Sorry, couldn't resist. There's a thread over at the EA forums about this. The community manager said it was a "unique opportunity" or something like that, so I doubt we see anyone else's mask this year.

Not familar with Forza huh?

For example, Peter Budaj’s mask features Lionel Messi and Ned Flanders from the Simpson. The fact that licensed imagery is included in the design would prevent us from ever being able to recreate the mask in-game.

That's an extremely bad example. I get the general idea but as they already have the Simpsons game lisence and Messi lisenced for FIFA I don't see why that specific mask is such a big problem.

so what happens if you trade him?

or randomize rosters on GM Connected mode?

Oops. You're absolutely right, I was thinking of another year.

By the time I was on the game, most mask artists wanted individual deals.

so ok they cant get the license for every mask i get that, but at the same time it seems like they dont even try to get it for those where it would actually be possible, like in that case marty brodeur. like they get to know by chance from brodeurs brother that he holds the right on his mask design.. how abt sending requests concerning that matter to every goalie, i mean not always a family memeber will drop by to encourage them...

Simple.

Add roster sharing so people's created "ala my historic 1993 roster" for example can be uploaded and enjoyed by all.

Add "mask designs" that can be downloaded online, I know a bunch of amazing people that are dedicated to get their favorite goalie's look right.

Have a server that we can upload/download from! I can't believe how simple it can be, just borrow the technology under your own umbrella from the Nascar paint booth team.

You guys realize typing forum suggestions and calling them "simple" in no way makes building and integrating the actual feature "simple," right? Easy to type, likely a lot harder to put into the game especially when you consider everything else they have to do in ~8-9 months before NHL goes feature complete...

A custom web app that let us create custom masks (so talented people could recreate and share the masks and circumvent the license) would be awesome
