Real coaches and coaching staffs
Create a team and have a franchise draft when u add that team into Bagm instead of replacing a team
Stop taking players out of the game and leaving in Pejorative Slurs as FA ex Tom kuhnhackl Adam payers Dominick uher they're just gone now
Better fighting and if I lay a big hit on a. Star player like Crosby a tough guy like engo should come after me n fight me or try to make me fight

I would like to see NHL 14 have the same kind of set up in gm mode as Madden 13 with media interaction and news from through out the league... also draft day would be awesome if it were the same as Madden 13. Being able to view your junior prospects progress would also be nice, and interacting with other gm's concerning accepting and declining trades.

 

[Deku]

For NHL 14 GM mode, I hope we can hire/fire coaches and staff. They should also tweak how the owner expectations thing works. Seriously, I've gotten fired because the owner wanted 44 wins and we got 42. What the ****. Does the owner seriously think it's my fault that we came two wins short of his expectations? We still made the playoffs for crying out loud. If a couple more bounces went our way we probably would have met the owner's expectations. This kind of ties in with the coaches thing, actually. If the team is underachieving you could make coaching changes. All the blame for the team's performance shouldn't be pinned on the GM, it's so stupid.

less poke check, more hit!!!!!

 

[MC Ride]

You know what would be great? If the Be A GM simulation actually stopped when i pressed "stop simulation".

 

[LilySmoov]

General gameplay:

Correctly called penalties.

You'd think something like this would've made it into the first edition of the game, but no. It's been 20 years and EA still can't get the fundamentals down.

To expand on this:

Latching on to guys in the slot while the play is going up-ice is interference. How EA is too stupid to realize this is honestly not that surprising. How could they let such a horrid game mechanic operate the way it does? ****ing morons.

 

[Gusto73]

One timer overhaul please

Get rid of these flash one timers and make guys wind up in anticipation of a pass (look at any real team pp unit usually has someone looking to flash to the top of the circle with stick already loaded, stamkos for example)

Pucks in crease...only way to put it in is a poke check now, I'd like for the shot button to make your player hack at a loose puck in the crease)

Lmao call penalties right for Christ sake, leveling someone 3 seconds after they pass is not even close to legal

Smarter CPU in zone offense, please move once in a while to help a puck carrier or get a scoring look

"Protect puck" should actually try to get underneath a defenders shoulders (stronger players would benifit more...anyone remembers big buff during his chi years?)

I'd like stick check overhaul, maybe holding poke check and using the stick would allow for a chop at a stick, or try to tie up a stick)

 

[jigglysquishy]

Pucks aren't glue on sticks. Stick handling looks nothing like real life.

Scoring adjustments (i.e. Real rule changes). I want to make pads smaller. I want my penalty settings to actually go for CPU games.

Age players better. My last be a pro season had Taylor Hall scoring 72 goals at age 34 after having a career high of 43. He never scored forty again

in BAP:

- more interactive draft
- less horrible AI trades (no trading datsyuk for a 2nd round pick)
- if you dont make the playoffs or get eliminated early, have the option to go to WJC or IIHF.
- option to play the point on the powerplay even if youre a winger/centre
- faces that actually look young when youre in junior
- somewhat more frequent injuries

in other ways
- FIX THE DAMN INTERNATIONAL JERSEYS (no stupid rectangular flags on the front), have the ACTUAL jerseys!!

You have to hold Y/Triangle, not press it.

Just thought if something. EA should add another level in online n be a pro. The should allow players to go above 80 overall since d-man can go up to 87. Id put elite statua between superstar n legend. Legend should be 80-90. Anyone agree

Honestly overalls are overrated. Almost always if a guy is an 87 as a dman, he's using defensive D which means he sacrifices a lot in offense and athletics.

My d man is a 73 and is pretty good. Great speed, great puck mover, great defensive skills.

 

[LilySmoov]

A puck-chop animation/mechanic that isn't horribly stupid would be nice.

 

[doug88]

Mike Emrick as the play-by-play announcer

 

[Gusto73]

prolly my biggest want other than crap interference

Less bumper car hockey, the hits are kid of rediclious and inconsistent

Size needs to matter, a 230 forward is not going to get floored by a 185 dman who's standing still

Most importantly CONTINUATION

Let us keep playing our BAP at least if not our bagm as well

I never have gotten into bap because you really can't get very deep into your career before the next title comes out

They'd have to get IIHF licensing for both of those instances. And the IIHF is unfortunately very strict when it comes to licensing. Which is one of the reasons I feel we'll never see a game based on Winter Olympics Hockey (other than Nagano 98' Olympic Hockey, that is)

A more realistic licensing goal would be the USHL as an alternate path to the pros. Would like IIHF, NCAA ,and KHL licensing as well, but the chances of that happening are about the same as my state getting an NHL team

You might get the Coyotes if Seattle, Markham, Atlanta, Quebec, Hamilton, Kansas City, Cleveland, and Las Vegas suddenly stop existing. There's always hope.

I think we're more likely than Atlanta (post Thrashers experiment), KC, Cleveland, and Vegas. I'd say we'd be near the top of the list if it weren't for Seattle, Quebec, or Markham/Hamilton

I mainly play (sim) Be-A-Gm so :
Make the Draft less boring/predictable - Maybe have something like a scout's recommended list or something? Projections would also be cool (ex. 5th Rounder 20yr old SNP = Scout max (2nd Liner, low chance)) Another thing that could be added are scout notes for each player? (ex. Pros = Big body, can skate - Cons= poor work ethic, low hockey sense)

More late round steals! Obviously not every late pick should equal a star but a couple of them should turn out if developed properly. (In NHL 12, I drafted a DFD with the last pick and he developed into one of my best d-man. NHL 13, I think I've seen only 1 good player drafted after 2016 past the 4th round)

Potential should fluctuate - A good year brings the potential up, down year drops it. Obviously it shouldn't change too much.

Add a Versatility rating scale 1-5 (1 = Has a tough time playing 3rd line center if a 4th line winger, 5 = Can easily adapt)

Get rid of the phones - Seriously, it seems dumb having trade limits at the TDL & Draft.

Trading during draft - At least for the 1st round, you should be allowed to make trades between picks.

Being able to retire numbers - Okay, not as important but it would be nice to be able to retire numbers for your players after they retire.

Development for defencemen/goalies should have higher age cap - It takes longer for them to develop, I think the cap for goalies should be 29/30 and D-men 28/29 . Forwards can stay the same at 26/27.

Mid-Season contract extensions - like real life, if a player is in a contract year they should be available for contract talks.

Players who haven't shown anything should not be asking for lots of money.

Thats all I can think of right now, Be-A-GM has so much potential.

 

[SensAreReligion]

#1 go back to the old hut

 

[Greasy Sliders]

- new cellies !

- fix create a team ( either more logos, or ability to import )

- during Be a GM, you should be able to sign European players to contracts

And something like a be a ref mode would be sweet

 

[balnky19*]

Not every player being the lowest overall possible, New cards in ultimate team not just SOTW special like playoff and haloween

 

[Tryblot]

I wish they would have a third team in BeaGM. An ECHL team or just a random team that you can place your left over AHL players on. I don't care if you can't check their standings or play their games or even if they get stats, but it's so annoying having 40 players to sift through and trying to make the lines. I hate using the best lines option because I want my young drafted guys dressing and not guys who aren't even part of my team. Also have a 'copy player' option, you click a button and then you use that button as a quick button to place that player on whatever lines you would like. It would make setting up the lines so much quicker.

Another thing I thought of today , Be a pro with a first person option !

I was playing goalie and thought about this. It's so hard to see the correct angles from behind the net. You think your in perfect position and then see in the replay you could have been in a much better position.

Something else I would like is a rivalry meter. Depending on who you're playing the meter could get higher or lower, kind of like a momentum meter. Say if St. Louis plays Chicago in the playoffs it wouldn't take much for it to reach the top and the games should become more intense and more physical. You should be able to create rivalries too. For example, right now St. Louis and Calgary have no rivalry but if they were to meet in the playoffs or have a couple of rough regular season it could start growing into a real rivalry. I think it'd make the game a little more fun.

I'm tired of not being able to shoot/pass because some guy is tickling me but when I come in at full speed and try to lay someone out I just bounce off of him. This problem comes from playing Superstar/All-star on HUT or any gametype other than BAP.

They don't make the AI better the more you raise the difficulty, it just has more of an effect on your players attributes, I would like to be able to play the game like it was supposed to be played on these higher difficulties but you simply cannot make any passes without them getting intercepted.

I'm tired of my guy getting hold of a loose puck but then suddenly gets stuck in a puddle of molasses while the AI gets a loose puck he gets superspeed and is able to turn a 180 and keep his speed.

I do not like the auto-assist passing because it only works when I don't want it to and doesn't work when I want it to, I'm sick of playing with my friend and try passing to him but magically goes to some other player across the ice.

I hate the change player too, why do you keep giving me players on the outside rather than the guy creeping into the slot for my friend to pass to?

Goalie AI on my team is so terrible compared to AI goalies against a computer. I'm sorry but 3 shots on a 90 Halak should not lose to 50 shots on a CHL goalie (It's happened plenty of times and mind you he's somehow made incredible desperation saves while my goalie has not once attempted a desperation save.)
