I love this series and my main wishes are that they'd implement features from the old days.

- I realize fully that there is a large push to get more focus online, but a season mode hasn't been implemented since 06. Can we please have it back?

- (edit) contracts that are reflective of point production or accomplishments rather than the player ratings. A player with an 88 rating will always be paid a huge amount compared to a player in the high 70's even if the player in the 70's scores 100+ points and the higher rates player scores nothing.

- I really liked the BAP mode, but the inability to control anything killed it for me. Anytime I found a great line to be on I'd just get shuffled off of it. I'd love to see a system where you could request to stay on a line or request a certain type of trade.

- I loved the cup celebration in 06 or 07 where the camera pans to each player and recaps their stats. Little touches like that really drove the experience home.

- speaking of stats, Im happy they brought back the goal display after a player scores, but could we please get assist displays as well for the goal scorer? I liked keeping track of upcoming point milestones. Speaking of those ....

- remember when a big deal was made of getting a first goal, or scoring 50 in a season? I think it would be great to see different animations for different career milestones.

- I actually adore the gameplay and would like to see very little variation from what we have now. Perhaps minor AI tweaks, but not much beyond that.

- I don't know what wonderful crack the makers of skate 2 got into when they developed their replay editor, but I'd love to see a complex replay editor like that. Don't get me wrong, they behave somewhat similarly but skate has the ability to do on-the-fly zooms and camera changes. Very slick if you take the time to learn it.

Thanks for doing this Jobo, I'll write more if I think of it. In summary i'm actually concerned the gameplay will change too much. I'd rather they kept most if it the same and just focused on presentation.

I'll personally provide you a pie stuffed with gold coins if you comment on twitter while you're over there.
