online GM sounds fun...almost like fantasy hockey. since it's be a GM i'd hope they only allow you to simulate games against other players instead of having it almost like versus mode
I'm trying to phrase my excitement without using an F (or even a C) bomb. I've been waiting for an online GM mode for literally 11 years. First summer out of high school my buddies rented a house and we would have full seasons against each other. They would take months to complete, but when your only responsibilities in life was stacking produce and ordering pizza for dinner it was totally doable. The fact that we might be able to recreated that somewhat is insanely exciting for me.
To top it off, I loved the CP team we had a few years ago, but found I just didn't like the mode. The idea of doing a league with some of you losers again is awesome. Who's starting the signup thread?
We're still months away from release so it's early, but we can gather early interest for Connected GM by a sign up thread in the Playing with Fire section. Closer to release we can make a new thread for those who will fully commit.
for goalies? it's already one of the few things that a human goalie can do on breakaways to force the shooter to do something they might not want to do
You know what I miss. In the late 90's game you'd be doing a playoff tree and during stoppages you'd see highlights of other playoff games. It just added a ton of realism to the game.

Other gameplay modes have also been improved and there will be deeper reveals to follow, but here is a small taste of what to expect. Hockey Ultimate Team received an impressive new interface as well as changes to playoffs and tournaments. In Be A Pro you now have greater control over your career, including the ability to request a trade away from your team or decide to hang-up your skates and retire when your virtual knees begin to grow stiff. EASHL, the EA SPORTS online hockey league has received a number of new improvements including the ability to choose club captains, a region based matchmaking system designed to reduce lag and the addition of procedures created to encourage users to play through a full EASHL game.
