They should have Doc Emrick, Mike Millbury and Pierre McGuire.

Tongue
Please not Pierre.... Please.

Unless hitting him in the head with the puck when he's between the benches is a mini game

Thank you to My boys @Merica and @Ragnar for the lovely sigs!

I would actually enjoy having McGuire there. I like him enough.

I was in St. Louis about a week ago and watched a Blues game and I loved their announce team, I feel that they could be pretty good for it.

An old man's dream ended. A young man's vision of the future opened wide. Young men have visions, old men have dreams. But the place for old men to dream is beside the fire.

They are biased against the Leafs, you cant have bias commentators on a national broadcast let alone a Video Game.

But I agree Ferraro and Miller would be good options as well.

Just because they don't have as much emotion doing games for the Leafs doesn't mean they would be horrible options (or biased for that matter). Especially in a video game where they say what you creators tell you.

Cuthberts one of the top PBP guys imho, id like to see him doing PBP.

All that really matters is the announcers need a change Tongue ... I couldn't care less who they change them to (unless its the nerds from the Flames broadcast). They need someone new doing games.

One thing that I really want is easier negotiations on Be a GM, like you said paying 2 1sts for 3rd liners because they aren't on the trade block makes no sense.

The other thing that NHL 14 really needs is some more realistic draft ranking, it really annoys me to see guys like Morgan Rielly and Alex Galchenyuk going in the 4-5th rounds....you can get some of the best real life prospects in the 6th and 7th rounds it really takes out the realism imo.

[b]UPDATED BE-A-PRO.


Honestly Be-A-Pro could not be more boring to me right now, I enjoy playing the game, I enjoy being locked on one player but it feels like the regular game and I don't get the feeling I'm actually, being a pro. The mode reminds me more of a "Control a pro, while they're on the ice and nothing more"

Give me some incentive to actually play this mode instead of just playing to get trophies and XP. NBA 2K13 and MLB The Show have done it right, make it so you can be a Media figure in Twitter, make it so you can have press conferences, make it so there's more to the actual mode than playing games and gaining a higher ranking in the lineup. Earn Endorsements, make it so you can purchase custom skates, and for goalies custom goalie helmets (And I mean CUSTOM GOALIE HELMETS, like upload pictures and make your own goalie helmet.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[/b]
Yeah, be a pro is pretty boring to me. All those are good suggestions, I'd lole to make it so we don't have to play the whole game, maybe change it to 7 minute periods.

[b]SKILLS COMPETITION


I'd absolutely love to do the breakaway competition or the skill shot competition. Obviously they'd have to refine the skill stick to allow things like lifting the puck at will and things like that but it would be really sick imo

Have the accuracy contest, hardest shot, fastest skater. None would be hard to incorporate like they did in the old days but put it back in! Just for christs sake don't make it like NBA's Slam Dunk contest, I don't want to play Hockey Hero
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[/b]
100% yes. There are some things that you can do: hardest shot can be done in a practice and you can do an elimination shootout.

Quote:
[b]FIGHTING!!!!


I'm sick and god damned tired of Rock Em Sock Em Robots. I liked it the first year, I fought a decent amount, now it's old and I never fight... Ever. You get nothing for fighting, it's pointless right now, make it fun again, Give some commentary for it, give a tale of the tape. Give the stronger fighters knock out punches, make the actual fight not a one handed brawl, I believe it was NHL 2k7 where you were free and skated up to the person and could kinda ring around the rosey with them before actually taking a swing and it was fucking awesome. Make it like that and for the love of god give us some incentive to fight, in NHL13 guys like Colton Orr, George Parros, Brad Staubitz are COMPLETELY Useless because fighting is their only good stat and fighting doesn't happen. And please have the computer players initiate some fights. I'd be much more likely to fight if after I laid out a guy like Crosby, if Cooke skated up to me and pushed me looking for a fight.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[/b]
While this isn't the biggest thing for me, it would be nice to have a change, the current system is pretty boring.

Quote:
[b]COMMENTARY[b]

Oh good fucking god, if I have to hear "If we didn't know if the goalie had a glove, we do now" one more god damned year I'm going to kill myself. The commentary is ridiculously worn out and we need a change. Get some NHL announcers who I dunno, have actually been announcers in the last 5 friggan years and get some fresh blood out there. And for the love of god update the commentary track. Nothing like playing Day one, in NHL 13 and hearing "Luke Schenn is the franchise player for the Toronto Maple Leafs" when he was traded months ago. It'd also be nice if a big hit warranted a bigger response than a little trickle of a hit
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No biggie to me, since whenever I play I usually have itunes or netflix open or something, but I know not everyone does so if it would make others happy I'd be all for it.

[b]Be-A-GM</b>

I love Be-A-GM it's my favorite mode right now, but it's far from perfect. Things that need to be changed are as follows

1- Players need to be players and not robots. I'm tired of there being no player happiness, or loyalty ratings. It'd add another dimension to being a GM if playing a 84 OVR on the 3rd line because your top 2 lines are stacked, would cause him to lose happiness and thus making him more likely to leave in FA.

2-Make trading not an arm and a leg to get someone just because they're not on their trade block. For instance I love playing with Gerbe, he's my favorite player and I like playing with him. He's rated like a 78 overall with some potential. He never gets higher than like a 84 yet in order to trade for him it takes literally 2 first rounders... That's ridiculous, and if Buffalo was offered a good trade for him they would at the very least consider it. For guys like Crosby I understand but role and depth players it's entirely different and the game needs to reflect that

3- Potential and Actual improvement on players, it's entirely random and not number based at all. I had 2 rookies on my team, both with 5 stars of yellow potential. One was decent, played good but was injured for 1/4 of the season, they put up like 10 goals and had 20 assists for 30 points in like 54 games. Meanwhile the other rookie won the Richard, obviously won Calder, was 3rd in league scoring and was team leader in +/-. After the season the first player jumped from a 71 to a 88. Meanwhile the player who played like Ovie in his first season went from 71-78. The next season was the same thing! The first player played good but not great and went from the 88-96. And the second player went from 78-84. It doesn't make sense. Improvement NEEDS to be based on performance as well as potential.

4- Simming Speed. It takes an hour to sim through a season. Aint nobody got time for that
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1: I'd like that, it'd make things more realistic and that's always better.
2: YES! It was better last year, but it shouldn't be too easy either. It does suck now, where you can either get a prospect or a 35+ vet, but everyone else will cause you to overpay.
3: Yeah, it seems to be that the higher line that the player is on the more they progress, but I don't know if that's how it really works.
4: Oh my God, yes.

Quote:
[b]Checking


Checking needs to be updated. It doesn't look realistic and it's the same reaction everytime. It's quite boring when it's hit they fall backwards like they slip on a banana peel and then slide 20 feet. And the hip checks while hilarious are incredibly unrealistic. We need collision detection on EVERY PART OF THE BODY. I want a knee on knee hit to actually look like they're getting hit. And while this isn't checking it's similar. I'm tired of going through the boards with my head like morphing through them, same with players who seem to be liquid at times.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[/b]
Meh, I can take it or leave it, I know they're unrealistic, but 75% of the time I sim anyway, so it doesn't matter as much, but if others want it, I'm all for it.

Quote:
[b]Penalties

I dunno if I'm the only one, I play on the highest difficulty and I will take one penalty or 2 a game. the Computer will take one every 5 games. Leading to me getting a whopping 25 PP's through the season
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[/b]
YES, even if I bump the slider all the way I'm still lucky to get a powerplay opprotunity a game, they need to increase it.

Quote:
[b]Contracts


Talking extensions with players should be allowed in the final season of their contract, there should also be more to the negotiation process than sending, and getting an answer, I'd like to actually have some negotiation, Have the players counter with what they want ect.[/b]

Sure, why not.

Great ideas Maxy. If we get even half of these the game would be much better.

Be a GM

1. Trading: Should be harder to get players who are not on the block. You should not be able to go traded for any player you want. Just like in real life. Makes the game mode more realistic.

2. Draft System: The overall feel of the draft should be improved. NBA 2k games you actually go into the room etc... It makes it look nice. Also there should be surpises in every draft. For example you draft a player thats 3 stars in the 5th round. After a year or so his potential rises to 4stars or whatever. Have like 5 random players like this every draft.

3. NHL.com: Have a sub-menua called NHL.com. You go on there to look up stats etc... Have articles get posted for events that are happening. For example a star player gets injured or a blockbuster deal is made. Even a player requesting a trade!

If they bring back Hughson, the only way it'll be good is that they bring back Don Taylor, too. That was the only time I liked Hughson.
