I'd like to see Assistant Coaches History getting tracked, such as when they win the cup as an A.C. As well as carry over when a player becomes an assistant coach history and stat wise, because from what I've noticed it doesn't carry over.

More storylines would be fun, maybe the option to have media and team meetings which influence your team/perception of you.

Dynasty storylines when you get 3 cups in 4 years (or maybe 5?), along with back to back storylines, a well as some sort of messages for when a player is on a streak of winning a player trophy.

I know I'm harping on storylines, but I think it helps immersion; Also having it where a player might make a guarantee of winning or some sort of statement which makes the big games attribute more influential.

Fix bugs where a bunch of college players end up becoming FA's because they won't sign with their team. I know this happens in real life, but I've seen that it's happening a bit too frequently with high end players.

Lower the overall quality of goaltending since by the end everyone has a 4 or 5 star goalie, which lessens the impact of having a good goalie.

Maybe add a stat or growth influencer where prospects will have an "idol" who they try to emulate and so their stats will develop similarly, but not the exact same.

More impact of international tournaments/national pride, as it feels very lacking currently.

Have teams approach to trade you for players who aren't on the trade block, as if you have no one on the trade block, you won't get any offers for them currently. Along with this have teams do more blockbuster trades rather than minor player swaps.

A way to see how different assistant coaches/head coaches will effect your lines and tactics to see if they are a good fit.

Work on CPU controlled teams AI. I had Nashville draft Shane Wright in a draft 1 OA and he was 3 stars, but they didn't sign him for two years, I had to use the commissioner mode to force him onto their team.

Similarly AI draft logic still isn't good, in another draft with Michkov and Bedard, the AI chose a player with 650ish potential on both offense and defense first overall, which is a massive oversight and kinda B.S.
