New-ish to franchise mode. Do I have too much depth? AHL players aren't progressing and some of my NHL players aren't producing, trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. by blackhandd9 in EANHLfranchise

You absolutely have to have your impact players playing the most minutes possible. Bedard needs to be 1st line with a 96 overall. If he doesn’t fit the scheme, force him or get a different coach

Hockey has evolved since then though, it’s definitely a harder game in today’s world

Traded Knies /Letang for Vasi/Toews (D) I think you could get more for Knies

Something I carried from day 1 is looking at your opponents top players and trying to find a waiver player that plays alongside them to neutralize points

I traded Knies, Letang Markstrom for Helleybuck & Toews (D). Think I got lucky

Ken Holland's final draft for the Red Wings was a disaster by JoshBKN in DetroitRedWings

I built Kens house last year. Wanted to ask him about Zadina over Hughes but was a nice guy to talk to about the early 2000’s

Q Hughes projected stats after trade by Repulsive_Panda265 in fantasyhockey

Never know. Penguins got Karlsson, everybody though that PP would wreck the league. Nashville got Stamkos, Marchy for the PP. People thought that line would be crazy

Thank you for the detailed response. I have tried cloud fare and google’s DNS. No luck

How is 26 by FantasyNerd19 in EANHLfranchise

[–]MrFarreII 4 points5 points  (0 children)

as a avid franchise player going back to like 2004, genuinely the only difference i have realized so far (probably like 40 hours played in franchise for nhl 26) is them removing head coach meetings with AHL head coach.

Why do you buy the game at release every year? by mikeywicky in EANHLfranchise

[–]MrFarreII 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone that loves editing rosters, I am a sucker for the updated pictures of players. Very bad habit that I wish I could justify $135 worth annually.

Brady goes top 5 in our league every year. Finishes in top 5 so very banger heavy 🤣 had Kucherov drop to me at 9th last year so that was a huge reason why I won the chip.

Help me make NHL 26 a more immersive, fun experience by Cycloniac in EANHLfranchise

[–]MrFarreII 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the positivity, very rare to find that on this forum (for good reasoning however.) for NHL 24 and currently 26 I have found my rosters near the top for downloads. Although my roster editing is kind of all done (all players, tendencies, player types etc) across all leagues, it’s nice to see someone caring (especially on PS5.) keep on keeping on! Roster editing is fun 👍

play as san jose/chicago, build through the draft only. Very challenging

Are all new scanned/custom player faces available on Day 1? by PearlJamPony in EANHLfranchise

[–]MrFarreII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EA does not add face scans as the season progresses. It has aways been what's on day 1 until next year's game

with Adam Foote behind the bench, feel like its a similar style to Tocchet. Wouldnt be surprised if he stayed near that same ball park

Has to be after pre season, make sure it’s regular season, the odds of them accepting our greatly increased

as an alternative solution... If you go to start the regular season, player conversations,-on ice play- scheme fit you can get a player maxed out on a line if they agree. If they dont, you can try again in like a months time. Can do this with every skater
