GM Connected's Failure Wasn't NHL Fans' Fault

Good article. Whether it was a lack of vision, or a lack of resources, GM connected failed because it wasn't easy and complete enough to engage casual users. Good article

The #1 reason why GM CONNECTED failed is because of the lack of depth. If all the off-ice features such as having an AHL team with stats and player development, a live NHL Draft rather than an automated one, being able to have created players participate in the mode, etc. more people would last past the first couple months of the opening season.*


Does anyone know if there is a limit to the number of players we can create? I like to create all my players within the parameters of a BE A PRO rookie. It's the most authentic method.*

Great article.

The funny thing is that EA didn't need to really add a lot. If you allow people to play with custom rosters in an online season, the people that want to play will find a way. The NHL series shows how much fans of a series can do with so little. There are online seasons of Tecmo Super Bowl but yet the guys that want to play a season of NHL with custom rosters can't.

Tecmo Super Bowl was great!

Allow people to play with custom rosters and most Online Season mode enthusiasts will be happy.
