When will it be possible to play vs NA teams with same connection for both sides?

 

And also, was Rammer a part off the riots in Vancouver after SC loss 2011?

When we can add our own logos in the EASHL?

Is this finally the year when custom music options returns to the game?

 In the future could you add option to change smaller ring size when playing with European leagues?

When custom jerseys and logos will be available for offline modes/EASHL? 

Thanks! 

When is Frostbite engine coming to NHL like in FIFA and MADDEN and why is it not in it already?

Edited August 23, 2018 by Lionite

Most of these questions will get the same old, boring, generic answers somewhat like these:

-"Why hasn't the NHL series switched to the Frostbite engine yet?"

-"You know, we always want to improve the game for our fans in any way possible, including upgrading to a newer engine. However, we want to make sure everything runs smoothly before we make such a drastic change to the series. We will certainly discuss this with the team in the future"

-"When can we import our own logos?"

-"We've heard a lot of fans saying they want an import feature in the game. While we agree with them and the feature would make for a better experience, this particular item wasn't at the top of our priorities. That being said, the team is always looking to add new and exciting things but unfortunately, it's not in this year's game."

 

One genuine question I would like to hear the producers answer is: In NHL 18 we had our first major tournament, being the NHL GWC, which was played in a 1v1 format. However, most people agree that a 6v6 format would make for a more entertaining and authentic viewing and playing experience. Which route would the EA Sports NHL team prefer to see the esports side of NHL go? (And which will they push/endorse with competitions, tournaments etc.)

There is something that has been bothering me for years now, as a member of the LGBTQ+ community I feel that I cant truly express myself on the ice when the character I´m controlling is not accurate representation on who I am and what I believe in, that is why I´m asking now: When can I add facial hair to the female EASHL character that I created? 

I pay a lot of money every year for these games, so about time the NHL series steps into the 21st century and into year 2018.

Couple of Franchise questions:

1) How is going to work 32 team expansion draft with custom rosters? Will it take place before the 2018 entry draft? Because up-to-date rosters are already past this draft. Or will it take place before 2019 entry draft? Then what about contracts, player atributes, etc, everything one year older...? Or there will be some simulation 18-19 season done on background and then expansion draft from 2019?

2)  When creating team in 32 expansion mode, we've always had only the old Reebok jersey templates, will we finally be able to create new Adidas jerseys? It would be so cool!

3) Customization for goalies - Will we get new goalie gear customizations options? Like real sets (for example Bauer has some slick pad designs), real masks (for example Colorado has the same two masks maybe like 8 years, from X360 era), or will we be at least able to use the new designs made for CHEL mode in Franchise mode?

Thank you. And huge thanks for updated profile pictures for almost all NHL players (based on beta).

When will you add the feature that human goalie could use 6th player when he goes to the bench?

When will it be possible to take on the 6th player as golie, that is such an important and easy to implement detail for 6 vs 6  . 

Any serious reason about the absence of GM Connected?

When will it come back?

Not really a question but just a thing which stood out to me in the Beta.

Please bring back the faceoff where you start on your backhand but then quickly switch to your forehand. So you pretty much can fake out your opponent.

 Basically just keep it as in NHL 18 - don't remove this possibility as it would cause a wastage of variety regarding faceoffs.

The official explanation was that the usage data indicated that the mode wasn't really used that much and not many leagues were actually finished.

Is this some kind of joke?

Deking 94 and Hand-Eye 95?

Crosby:

Deking 95 and Hand-Eye 95

Yup, Laine got too low compared to Crosby.

I asked that type of question yesterday. I will post an article about it tomorrow

Thank you for all of your input. No more entries. Thank you.

This is the usual EA answer but it's a joke..... Watch out the comments trough the community of the FB page, dozens of players are asking this mode to be back.... And about the unifnished or inactive leagues, like they do with inactive eashl teams they can delete it.

Almost all team sports softs have a connected league, almost all....
