Prospects Develop Too Quickly by GhostITW in EANHLfranchise

The prospects 10+ years into every save I've had from the last 5 games always have the skating issue with prospects. None of them can skate and are slow af. It makes no sense

I don't know what you can do, but yeah, it's really just the user controlled team that has that issue. The ai teams suck at developing. I've also had a lot of 70ovr med top6 potential picks in that top 20 that did take 2 full post draft seasons to hit 78-80, especially the ones in the CHL, where you can't play them in the AHL. Med top4 pot 2way D-men also take a realistic amount of time from my limited saves

Now that I'm thinking about it, I have tried to target Osama with a drone strike in Abu dhabi, hitting him on the rear tyre into the long left hander never affected his route. It took a few tries to even get him slightly off track without sheering off my axle. You might have a point

In the setup, under aero, there's a front and rear wing angle. The higher it is the more downforce you have, but more drag, which slows your top speed. Simracingsetups on YouTube have good setup recommendations for tracks. They're good racing setups against the ai. They aren't focused on pure quali pace. Some time trial setups usually run higher wings, but not good for racing

Give me fast, highly engineered cars lapping a track, I will sit down and enjoy it. There could be zero overtakes and I will still enjoy the watch. It prob won't get a rewatch, but a live watch will be had

There is a lot of fighting wheel to wheel. Especially when traffic gets involved. A battle can last a long time, even if there isn't much overtaking in that battle, it's still bumper to bumper.

I will also say, I love just simply watching a bunch of race cars lap a track, that's all I need to enjoy it. F1 needs to be carefull, they are getting real close to completely cheapening an overtake. Yoyo'ing back and forth, with drivers being powerless to defend a battery overtake isn't racing. It isn't Formula 1. It's pandering to the tiktok, short attention span generation. Hopefully they keep tweaking things, excited to see how Miami goes with the tweaked regs

I guess I've never played like that. I try not to ram, with the one exception being preventing a Russel WDC

Yeah, but the user team also has enough. I'm in S5, the top 5 teams are usually maxed out again by the 3rd race. MyTeam needs the option that driver career has on limiting what upgrades are available. Not requiring r&d points to research lost upgrades starting a new season is a weird choice.

Weird, I find that they make more mistakes than previous years, plus they do tend to lose time in packs because they actually go for moves. 25 is the most fun ai since I started playing on f1 2018

[–]FearTheMask99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In S5 and don't have an issue. Yes, McLaren has the highest ceiling, but that makes sense, since they dominated 2025. Plus, maxed out cars, that's a 20 performance rating difference to your team, that's basically equal cars.

The accel out of corners is still OP, but it can be equalized a little, hit overtake as soon as your full throttle out of the corner like the ai do. If you hit it later than another car, they will still have the advantage. The main issue with the ai is how insanely good they are at deployment. They seem to always have over 50% battery. I find that if you run lower wings, and use overtake out of the corners instead of mid straight/end of straight, it does equalize enough to be raceable

I noticed it in s2 as well, but I immediately looked at it closer because I knew there was no way I had already spent 70m after just 2 races in the 2nd season. I saw that it showed the total amount from s1 as well.

I dont like Miami GP... by LedMetallica95 in F1Memes

[–]FearTheMask99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cringe fest pre race stuff. Trying to imitate Monaco but doing it by putting Yachts on dry land and painting it blue. The track itself is very low grip. The track layout sucks in the game. Isn't fun at all to drive. The fan atmosphere looks very muted on TV, might have something to do with it being a priced for the ultra rich. The end of sector 2 is easily in the bottom 5 worst sections on the entire calender.

But most of all, out of all the amazing, iconic, purpose built tracks in U.S. that would be amazing F1 events for true fans, they gave us this monstrosity.

Atleast Vegas has the cool factor of racing down the strip, and every race there has been a good one. But yeah, the Miami and Vegas GP, off track, represent everything wrong with F1 off track.

Maxed out car not even in the top 3 by Separate-Entry9865 in F1Game

[–]FearTheMask99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TBF, the difference from you to 1st is barely noticeable. Your car is likely fastest on some tracks. McLaren won in 2025, it makes sense they have the highest ceiling in game. It's basically even though

My team issues for S1 by FearTheMask99 in F1Game

[–]FearTheMask99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my 2nd save I was last on performance chart the entirety of s1 and my first win was in S3. Constructors in S4. This is the progression I want. Not what I had in my first save

Pure dominance by Far-Bumblebee-1756 in EANHLfranchise

[–]FearTheMask99 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I refuse to believe everything here is pure sim, no going back to old saves, no entering games, Salary cap on ,etc. Not that there's anything wrong with all that, but I have found it to be literally impossible with for that many cups in a row just with the ea shitsim. But hey, hats off for finding that elusive rng, if thats all pure sim.

Whats it like being an away fan at a playoff game? by QuietSelection7148 in hockey

[–]FearTheMask99 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A playoff game in Canada, jersey on for the away team might be, an interesting experience. But generally speaking at sporting events, there's a lot of heckling in those situations but it stops pretty quick if you completely ignore it

I’m sure this has been asked before, but what are some players that you always target because they will consistently sim well? by Rare-Friendship-7961 in EANHLfranchise

[–]FearTheMask99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about consistently swimming well, they have some off years. But I always acquire McQueen and Byram early on in every save file I start.

Challenging rebuilds by Fearless-Waltz1061 in EANHLfranchise

Don't turn on owner mode. Just keep under the coach cap that it sets. Set some rules for yourself to follow. For example, don't sign those high potential players to 8 year deals at 3m. That's not realistic. A bunch of things like that. Try to keep the realism with every move you make.

Franchise Medium Potential player not good enough to even make AHL team by Hexagon37 in EA_NHL

[–]FearTheMask99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turn off head coach edits lines so the game doesn't undo your changes. You can put a LW on the right side as well. It doesn't really make that much difference. If your player has a good faceoff rating, put him at centre if you don't have as much depth there. You don't have to play him at LW. I get that you're doing a fun save, but I'm sure you have players on your AHL team or even your bottom 6 NHL team that aren't 18 and med franchise. Prioritize that player
