Be A GM Community Wishlist

Oh, yeah, another: when you pick up a waived player, he should automatically go to your NHL team or, if you want to send him to the minors, you have to waive him again.

Basically, follow the real NHL rules.

Good point, this should be an easy fix for them.

Added #54

Added #56- Have Draft Picks in the Player Movement Screen. Tell me what you guys think! And, of course, keep the ideas coming!

[Babar61]

I want to see a screen that pops up after every week telling you who the three stars of the week in the NHL are. As well as the three stars of the month, along with those players stats during the time.

I also wish they would just have more detailed statistics and records screens like madden. Show the top twenty all time in points, goals, assists, penalty minutes, shutouts, save % etc. show the all time list and also the list of highest totals among active players. Individual records for most points in a game, goals etc. Show team records as well such as longest winning streak, losing streak, team goals in a season etc. Also show the franchise's team records. How cool would it be if you draft a guy and he breaks most of the franchise records you that team has.

Something small that should be easy to fix is telling us what team a player was playing for when you look at his stat history...instead of just "NHL" or "ahl".

I, also, really really want the Full Customization. I would love to be one of the invitees to EA Canada to help out the devs! I'd print out our current list at that time and describe what we really want!

Fix fighting...seriously. They don't even need to put much effort Ito it. Anyone else cringe every time you fight and all thep layers and coaches vanish?

I turn fighting off for this reason, as well as because I like to get "snippy" after a whistle and push the opposing players around, lol. Kinda like real life, where a fight doesn't break out, but pushing and shoving does....

Anyone else think that they REALLY REALLY REALLY need to work on post-whistle scrums? In the game, you can only hit each other back and forth after the whistle. In real life, everyone ties each other up. It usually goes something like this:

1. A forward takes one last shot at the puck after the goalie has it
2. A defender gets mad and pulls the forward away from the goalie
3. The forward gets mad and shoves the defender back
4. Everyone comes in and ties each other up with jersey tugs, headlocks, shoving, grabbing, etc.
5. Referees come in to split it up.

Once they get that corrected, then they can move on to fighting. There needs to be a balance system for the players in the fight. For example, when the computer player tugs you one way, you should have to hold the left stick the opposite way to keep your balance. You can use the right stick to throw punches (works sort of like the hit stick- the direction you flick the stick will be the direction you throw a punch). Additionally, there are hardly ever any knockout punchs in an NHL fight. The fight either ends by:

1. A player losing his balance and falls to the ice while dragging the other player down with him.
2. The referees split it up after they get tired

Would like to see the gm firing revamped. It always seemed a little funny that you have five or six teams to chose from. How often do six NHL gms get fired after a season? I think there should be a list of all NHL gms. When you are still with your team, you will be notified if a gm retires or gets fired and who they hire as a replacment. To add to this, say you get fired but you are not very crazy about the options you have for other teams. You can chose to sit out and wait. Simulate through and say 30 games into the next season a gm is fired and the team calls you to replace him. You can accept or reject them and wait until the end of the season to see what your options are again. Also, before you sign with that team the owner should let you know if you will have the power to fire the coaching staff/scouting team or if they want you to keep the coach say for the reason he is signed for another 4 years.

I would also like a screen that tells you all current coaching staff for every NHL team. They should also hit the open market like players do if their contract expires and the team doesn't bring them back, they are fired, or the An assistant coach wants to become a head coach. You should also be able to offer your Ahl head coach The Head coaching position on your nhl team(with the possability they will turn it down and want to stay in the ahl).Coaches will have different requirements on the team they want to coach: rebuilding team, contender, talent on the roster, gm reputation etc. different teams will have different budgets for this as well. If you are say the new York rangers it will be very high compared to the Phoenix coyotes. The budgets can go up over time if during your run on that team they are successfull and make money.

Goalie fatigue has been mentioned, but I also think team fatigue should set in on back to back games and long road trips. Some attributes will temporarily diminish. Same goes for the more games you play in the playoffs. If you get to the conference finals and have swept your opponents in round 1&2 and are facing a team that went to 7 games in each of the first 2 rounds then your team should be fresher. Not by a significant amount but by a little bit.

I guess if they implemented team fatigue into be a gm, they would have to fix the schedule generator that seems to get progressively worse as you advance in years. No more triple (sometimes more) straight games and no more insanely long road trips. Two seasons in a row now in my be a gm in NHL 12, I have had a 19 game road trip...

The distance travelled on that road trip should be a factor on how much fatigue sets in on your team. Teams in the west also travel a lot more miles than teams in the east. This will automatically make it a bit tougher on controlling a western team(most of them). Read an article the other day about BB in anahiem saying he can't believe how crazy the travel is coaching a west coast team as he has coached in the east his whole career.
