My wishlist for the game in general:

-Have it as an option to add teams to the league. It would be nice to be able to customize the league a bit more to add a few teams to the NHL as a fantasy expansion. Imagine a 34 team league with teams in Winnipeg (Return of the Jets), Kansas City (Return of the Scouts), Quebec City (Return of the Nordics), Hamilton, Seattle, Portland, etc... And if that is enabled for the game, make it so that it will recignize that there are 2 empty teams in the league so it will hold an expansion draft before the season starts, so there's the possibility of being drafted by one of these expansion teams in B.A.P.

My wishlist for Be A Pro mode:

-DRAFT ME!! You shouldn't be able to pick which team you start with.
-If you're a free agent, you should be able to reject offers. I'd like to wait until mid-July to decide what team to go on. I should also be able to set what I want for desired salary and desired contract length.
-I want to be able to see other players contract lengths on any team so I can make educated decisions on where I want to play
-Ability to request a trade
-Olympics: I know EA won't be able to get the rights to put the Olympics in the game, but why not every 4 years in the game starting with the 2009-2010 season, have no allstar game and put a mini-world tournament in where players are asked to play for their respected countries.
-World Tournament at the end of the regular season for players on teams who didnt make the playoffs.
-Hats for hattricks
-When a player scores 50 goals in a season, the announcers should make some sort of a deal about it. NHL 2003 did a great job with this. If my player scored 50 goals in a season in 03, the announcers would make a point of it, and they'd show the big screen and how it read "50th goal of the season!!." same goes for 100 career goals, 500 career goals, 93rd goal of the season (beating #99's record of 92 in a season), etc.
-More names in the database. My Be A Pro didn't say my name, it just said my jersey number by the arena announcer whenever I scored.
-Custom celebrations would be nice
-Playoff beard

-***Have a downloadable patch that would enable mild amounts of blood for things like high sticking. Have 1/3 high sticking penalties be a double minor for drawing blood. This would have to be a downloaded feature as to not mess with the game rating with it having blood.

after the end of a fight, it should show a close-up of the players on the bench tapping the sticks on the boards. Like all the way zoomed in right to the bottoms of the sticks

I hope there are more than three fights a game especially if it is a strategy this year. some games there are none and some could be five. I hate the benchs being empty during fights and the cpu never fights during be a pro. also more bench activity while the game is going on. hats getting thrown on the ice for a hat trick. suspensions. helmets getting knocked off. maybe even sticks breaking or getting dropped. gomez getting booed when he goes to play in new jersey and likewise for other players not just the star players. players that specific fans hate. maybe avery getting booed everywhere and getting called for sneezing everytime he is on the ice just to be realistic.

Some things to consider:

-Definitely the hat trick celebration.
-I like the idea of custom (or chosen) celebrations, but how about goalie helmets? Maybe make them customizable, and make the artwork on them correspond to the goalie (in NHL).
-Please, as frequently as possible, update the rosters!!
-More fluid goaltender movement to prevent glitch goals!!
-Enough with the word "Dude"! The commentary is terrible. Get some pro's in there like TSN boys.
-More throwback jerseys.

Other than that, keep up the good work!

BTW I'M so hooked to BE A PRO MODE ...IT'S MY SECOND FULL TIME JOB LOVE IT ;D


1.IN be A PRO MODE if press start for pause the game only the one who pressed start button pauses and the CPU will play with his character for 30 seconds please stop pausing everyone is so boring

2.make your player make a custom celebration after scoring like FIFA 09 thats awesome

3.broken sticks when shooting from the point and helmets fly off like when kovalev lost his helmet and then scored a goal with the canadiens see it on youtube type "But de Kovalev sans casque " he went crazy after loosing his helmet he looked like GUY LAFLEUR the blond demon lol what a classic moment


4.be a pro local arena and not vancouver ea arena

5.breaking glass when hard shot or big hit

6: french Commentators but please not from france but Quebec ! because us in quebec we all have nhl EA sport game its our religion like LES CANADIENS

7.hats\ team caps trowing in the arena.... and what will be nice is if your player picks up a hat\cap and WEARS it for the whole game so you look cool during playing hahaha after all its only a game like you guys says "EA SPORT its in THE GAME"

I got more ideas but for the next ones you got to hire me in your team EA ...nice job guys keep the good work

Sorry for my bad english :

1- Please, customized leagues and tournaments (off-line, of course). P.e. League 5 teams, with 2 rounds and play offs. etc. etc. Me and my friends have to make this with paper and pencil :)
2- Custom Controls.
3- Spanish commentators! Spanish translate all the game! Distribution of the game in spain, please!!!

Thank you very much.

KEEEEP THIS IN MIND WHEN MAKING NHL 2010: (sry caps )
- MAKE it so that we can easily turn of tips
- hats fall on hat trick goals
- more accurate sayings when bill clement and his partner talk
- diferent animations
- make it so goalies can have more control like the save were the goalie sits and does a half split....
