Nice writeup Joel!

When you see a franchise like NBA 2K manage to improve their modes year after year, and take depth and community feedback to heart to ensure that their franchise modes get new touches each year, it’s encouraging to see what*NHL 20*has in store for its fans of franchise mode.

Can't say EA listens to their community on feedback on the actually gameplay on the ice which is atrocious at times. Kudos to the team that worked on making the franchise mode more deeper and playable this year. Just wish the other teams working on the game had the same effort and dedication. Here's hoping we see changes to this part of the game in the future.

nhl franchise devs are the only team in EA sports company who are able to make a good feature every year, and these game sales are far from FIFA or madden numbers.
the only solid franchise modes I see right now are nba2k, NHL, Maximum football and Axis football.

Re: Taking a Hard Look at NHL 20’s Franchise Mode Trailer

"After watching and dissecting the franchise breakdown video, I can say the effort by the NHL franchise team seems quite ambitious, so hopefully it works as advertised and as intended."

And if none of it was properly integrated to the actually on-ice gameplay, it's all for nothing. It's all "wait for next year".

This is what we can't seem to find an answer to. If you put in all this work with these new additions and then you get out on the ice and the AI just follows the same script as it has been doing for the last some-odd years, it's all a big waste of time. It all proves to be worthless. It's just another half-baked addition that will take 2, 3, 4-year cycle to "sort of" work right. I hope I'm wrong, but mums the word over on the EA boards.

I agree, It would be nice to see if they come out with a little bit more detail what this will Entail? Is it all Alumni and Icons, or do we get specific years that we can substitute an Existing team for? I am pretty sure he is referencing All-Time Teams as that is what he said in the video for Edmonton. Looking forward to hearing anything more related to these Classic Teams?

Would be some pretty sweet sauce if I could play as the 1999-2000 Devils.

Cooper Toms got that benjamin button.

But really all this is nothing more than a placebo until they have some player separation on ice. If I'm gonna spend that much time on my team I'd like to see it be crucial to performance. Maybe in a few years, all this will actually matter.
