Season mode features full league customization allowing players to customize the amount of teams, uniform and ice rink colors, team logos, player names and appearances, end of season awards, and much more. When you’re ready to begin, choose a team to start with and play, watch, or simulate games throughout the season. Improve player attributes as they gain experience and manage their fatigue and moods. Player moods can change depending on traits such as winning and how much they are paid which in turn affects future contract negotiations and how fast they progress. During the season you’ll also be able to scout young prospects in the upcoming draft class so that you can make the best possible selection for your team. Miss the playoffs? You may just get lucky and end up with the first pick in the draft lottery!
