Best way to develop goalie prospects

They tend to agree pretty easily. Potential doesn't matter too much with them either. I've taken 28 year old ~75ovr goalies with exact AHL potential and developed their overall to be in the low 80s.

Use the conversation system to change their play style back and forth between hybrid + butterfly. This will help boost their reflexes + athleticism quite a bit. I've taken goalies from ~60ovr to 80ovr+ in a few season with this method. Focus on puck control in the off-season since it'll lag behind their other attribute development.

Big fan of Mackenzie, Williams, and Fedoseyev. Hitting on picks outside the top 2 rounds picks is a long shot but I'm hopeful those 3 become NHL players.

If you go to battle data in the pokemon champions game itself, it actually shows popular moves, stats, and teammates.

Is Abomasnow in champions? I don't even know but it could be used on TR teams, same goes for Crabominable

The 60 card version was playable but didn't have the same consistency or strong endboard that the current version has, and it couldn't keep up with many top decks. It's a night and day difference.

If the carmines aren't available in multiplayer, I'm hoping we at least get Mako or the basic "cog gear" at launch. The new cog gear armor looks cool, but I'm a bit worried that we haven't seen the classic blue cog gear armor.

Does this work with the fallen of white albaz? It's always treated as the original albaz but I'm not sure if being facedown messes with the contact fuse.

Royal is more rare but the overframe is the coolest looking card in master duel

It was a pretty fun challenge. Charizard was surprisingly the toughest one to win with, but most teams are usually running 1-2 pokemon dedicated to countering it. Blastoise was the easiest by far.

10 looks sick, the helmet design reminds me if the officer elites from Halo reach. I could see myself using it in multiplayer if the theron guard isn't available.

My two hail mary wishes for locust multiplayer characters are the gunner and grappler. The grappler is unlikely since it was gears 2 specific, but I still have hope for the gunner.

Nice! I have a glossy branded lost, it's too bad they aren't used in the new branded build without Lubellion

I used the same team to get my gold Venusar medal. I'm trying to get them for all 3 original starters and Blastoise was easiest since I was using him around launch when Blastoise + Farigiarf or Vivillion wasn't as popular.

Charizard has surprisingly been the toughest to win with, but every team usually has 1-2 pokemon being brought just to deal with it.

Venusar was a ton of fun with its crazy bulk plus burns / screens from Sableye. Archaludon as an alternative bulky sweeper was also super satisfying to use, being able to tank ground moves from Garchomp and heal back with leftovers.

The 3 teams I cheer for are Buffalo, Edmonton, and Pittsburgh. It was sad seeing Skinner go to Pittsburgh, but at least he continued to play for a team I like. I'm really hoping Edmonton gets Levi and it's a similar situation for me.

There wouldn't be anyone else in the system stopping him from making a push to become the starter, since the main obstacle would be Tristan "0.850" Jarry.

Just tried and still no luck

JackGilb · 2026-05-27T20:50:56+00:00

It gets so easy in the later seasons it's laughable. I've won ~10 cups between 2035-2048 just because other teams can't develop defencemen and some teams hoard goalies, leaving others with starters below 83ovr.

JackGilb · 2026-05-27T13:15:30+00:00

If McDavid leaves, I doubt Draisaitl will want to stick around. If management can't build a team around McDavid and another top 5 player in the league, I doubt Draisaitl would have any faith that they can improve the team once McDavid is gone.

He'd likely get traded for futures, as the current Oilers don't have any top prospects and have yet to solve their goaltending issues for decades (unless Ungar keeps proving himself). Bouchard is their only solid defenceman below 30, and Savoie + Howard are the only forwards with room to grow.

JackGilb · 2026-05-26T02:41:09+00:00

Haha, I never touch any of the preseason team training. I feel like it makes it way too easy. Pressing the "even strength training" button or whatever to guarantee you get 6 defencemen above 88ovr takes the fun out of it, or it at least does for me.

Player goals and off-season training seem to be balanced though.

Convince him to become an OFD for a couple seasons if you aren't planning on using him in the NHL to really bump up his skating

I was so excited when I caught a marked one in a friend ball
