Now if only PS3 simulation is fixed, definitely will be playing this mode this year.
- Be A GM length is adjustable
- Trade Difficulty (Easy to Hard)
- Authentic Cap Penalties (Real life buyout penalties and traded salaries carried into the mode)
- Assistant Coach Rotate Goalie
- 7 preseason games instead of the normal 4
- Retaining cap trading is there
- Future 1st round pick = worthless (like few years down the road).
- Progress Reports return
- Edit Lines page gets a change (unexpected good change)
- New Divisions is there! (But Division A. Division B.. etc)

The edit lines looks great and so does the salary retaining feature. Honestly, from what I've seen of the gameplay on peoples live feeds and such...this game looks pretty good.
There are even penalties!!! Slower pace, less hitting, plenty of loos pucks...looks like a lot of fun!!!

Great, thanks for posting. Looks like I'm more excited about some of the improvements that went completely unmentioned vs. most "selling" points. Can't wait for my Season Ticket download to finish!

At some point your gonna need to make a compromise with yourself...either learn to sim or play every game. I never sim either, but have no problem playing every game and finishing my seasons.

So was hoping that at least I can have 42 games/season so I could really see how the game progress after 5 season. Probably EA will not allow us because they design this game to only last 2-3 seasons. Marketing reason and programming reason (almost all players will be ranked above 90s or rookies having an insane improvement after a year).
At this point, if AI will give you the same playing style with ALL NHL teams...I will just wait for the next gen.

My scouts saw S. Reinhart as No. 1 pick but he fell to fourth (My pick) and he was clearly the best of the draft when I checked potentials etc. I had jacked up my scouting in Staff Upgrades so I had some very good scouting I guess. As opposed to last year when the player projected to go No. 1 always went No.1
I can't really confirm this since I have insufficient playing time as of now but as more people begin to play the game next week it will maybe shed some light over it. But if its true its a really good change.
Other than that the immersion is better. There are tweets and GDT in a new feature called "Messages". Fine addition since it breathes some life into the mode.
I had one say about Florida Panthers win over Detroit with 7-2
Along the lines of:
"Yes Marcel Goc did score 4 goals tonight." Thought it was kind of funny.
Edit:
Seems like contracts are overhauled as well. Players dont ask for very high contracts anymore. And you can negotiate much more than previous installations.

It's great that they actually did many upgrades to the mode, is just that they didn't advertise it as a selling point.
I quite like these new adjustments, the trading is a little stupid as the player's trade value goes by their potential and not their stats. Other than that, it's almost perfect! I would of loved a fantasy draft option in the normal Be a GM mode, that's always fun to play.
Any idea of what causes a player to progress or digress ratings wise?
Seemed like the consensus last year was that is obviously pertained to age and potential ratings but besides that was random. Meaning that things such as what league or line a player played on, or their ice time or stats didn't have any impact on progression. Just wondering if this is the same.
