Not only will you as the GM be responsible for making trades, signing players and staying competitive while navigating the murky waters of the salary cap, you’ll also be responsible for trying to turn a profit for your owner. Replacing the Be A GM mode from pervious iterations, this new one will play exactly the same as before, with one key difference, the element of owners. The best example of this is in the NHL 17’s Franchise Mode. A lot of focus appears to be on making every person’s experience who picks up a copy of NHL 17 unique in his/her own way with a variety of customization and personalization options spread out across the game’s various modes.
