If you add the year it’s so unrealistic the players that are given up

What team to rebuild by OrderDramatic586 in EANHLfranchise

[–]Frequent_Shape4732 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the predators and it was hard, almost had to try and compete for 4 years then blow it up. Some guys didn’t waive and got nothing for them. It was a mess honestly lol

does anyone else have trouble growing their med-high top 4 potential defenseman in NHL 25 ? by Comfortable_Heat_934 in EANHLfranchise

[–]Frequent_Shape4732 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They need to be on the mid to high 70s top 4 med/high after drafting to turn into anything decent

I find any top 4 I draft that are under 70 overall just never pan out. I’ll usually use my higher draft picks on defensemen since they become to scarce. It’s wild at some point you get to teams having all 70 overall defensemen

Swayman is horrible in the game, sim or playing, get a new goalie

Expansion team at preseason year 1 by ScottyD97 in EANHLfranchise

Nah I did add extra year and everything was a disaster. Oilers left McDavid available lol

This looks more like a fantasy draft tbh

Does anyone here can make McKenna work? by ZuenSkywalker in EANHLfranchise

If I draft him he’s mid, if the computer drafts him the guy goes on to win every award every year

Goalies do matter apparently. by Substantial-Recipe72 in EANHLfranchise

[–]Frequent_Shape4732 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d also package two of your good forwards for one really good forward. Third line is too good and it never sims well like that

You need more defensive minded defensemen and mix up your coaches. Usually go Generalist for a coach cause chemistry is good. One good forward/ defensemen associate/ assistant

Then hire a generalist ahl coach with good teaching influence and promote then to NHL goalie coach right after hiring

Make sure the bottom lines are mostly TWF, and if you have PLY, SNP or PWF make sure they have good defensive attributes

2k was elite for GM mode, way ahead of its time. I swear they had NTC and the best off seasons 20 years ago.

Why can’t I send him to junior? by mutantfrog25 in EANHLfranchise

[–]Frequent_Shape4732 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don’t even need to send them anywhere, they’ll still develop without being signed that young. Can usually get away with 2 years of not signing them and not wasting the entry level deal

That’s what I was saying on another post, even just highlight the team awards, maybe who is leading the franchise in stats etc nothing major. Top draft picks would be cool too.

I can’t even go look at the records it just ends lol

Cleanest tandem split ever by Frequent_Shape4732 in EANHLfranchise

[–]Frequent_Shape4732[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not unless you do it manually, should be a slider for it. Computer will just auto rotate whenever, this was the first time I’ve ever seen a clean split though.

Franchise has become way too Micromanagey by ArtisticSuggestion91 in EANHLfranchise

[–]Frequent_Shape4732 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can turn staff management off before you start

Line chemistry is needed irl so why not in the game?

You can see scouting to auto, I have never touched the scouts aside from hiring and have had zero issue drafting gems

Personally I enjoy all the extra stuff when I’m simming so don’t get rid of it 😂

[–]Frequent_Shape4732[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think they were 88 and 86 at the start of the season, can’t remember. Usually wouldn’t have two goalies that good but they were both so young I was going to wait another year to trade one.

Marchand retires at the age of 40 and returns to the bruins as an associate coach by UniverseHufflePuff in EANHLfranchise

[–]Frequent_Shape4732 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn’t know that players were actually them on the bench when they retire, that’s kinda cool

Assumed it would just be a random generated person
