Edit Player Patch? Is it Possible?

[scitychamps87]

Look, I don't know anything about game programming...but how can create a player be in the game without edit player? Last I checked they operate under a very similar system. And looking at the screenshots of create a player, it looks very similar to past years' edit screens. Considering they are patching in a whole mode in the form of OTP, is it possible edit player can be patched in as well? What do you guys think?

Possible? - Yes.

Probable? - Highly Doubtful.

They patched in the ability to edit players in Madden a couple years ago.

Its possible but it depends on how committed the NHL team is to improving 15. Its not an EA thing though. The Madden team rarely adds features after release (they added a fantasy draft option a few years ago after release). the EA UFC team has added a ton of features and improvements since release and they are actually polling people to see what features they want added now.

So it depends. Hopefully the NHL team is more like the UFC team.

From my experience, This is NHL TEAM not UFC. they will not update a single thing coz, Lets be clear all they want is money. And from what i have heard people have paid thousands of dollars just in 6 hour trial. So their plan is working brilliantly. They don't give you know what about hardore fans. I HOPE I AM WRONG.

Thousands of dollars in the 6 hour trial? What are you on about?

I would assume it's technically patchable judging from some of the stuff we've seen in other games, but I think it's incredibly unlikely that it actually happens.

Like others have said, it could be done, but I would doubt it at this point.

We won't know the reasoning behind this omission for quite some time, likely, if ever.

If it was something where allowing users to edit players broke things in a way that the game crashed or behaved erratically, then no, you won't get a patch.

If it was just a time thing where they couldn't get it in because it wasn't a priority, maybe. But it still is probably low priority in their minds.

This more or less sums up the problems that I think each and every one of us have with the title.

All I'm getting from all of the early impressions is that NHL 15 was sent out into the wild as a HUT game first and foremost, almost as if to see if they could get away with it since it's the one mode they can make decent coin from via micro transactions.
