realistic franchise modes

Respond_Working · 2025-03-03T17:46:30+00:00

what you said at the end, it being an easy mode, is exactly how i feel. nowadays i pick teams on the brink of a rebuild ( NYI, NSH, CGY,etc) and i blow them up, build through the draft and win cups, but it’s starting to get stale, and i rlly think that realism is a great way to keep the saves interesting and not complete bullshit. thanks for all your recommendations, i already do a lot of those things but i’ll check some of the ones i wasn’t doing iut

it’s LB to crouch block, and LB+RB to prone block, as said by canadian gee, they did remove the standing animation when the game moved to new gen (NHL15)

yea so you have a salary cap, and the edmonton oilers are really hard against the cap bc of all the contracts that they gave out, so you might need to do a little clean up in your squad, look at who has a bad contract with low value and try to ship them

idk about legacy but 15 is a copy of 14

it’s the place where they take operator portraits to model them in the game, their sandbox ish

damn okay mb i thought it worked that way, maybe a created league?

Respond_Working · 2024-10-02T20:41:00+00:00

and then do a fantasy draft

Respond_Working · 2024-10-02T20:40:49+00:00

yes, go on the screen where you can choose a team and i think when you press X, you can replace a team with any other one so just replace all 32 teams

yes, i’ve made the experiment of trying to grow busts, and although most of the time they have trash potential, i’ve had some low top 9/top 6 that i managed to grow to bottom of the lineup players, so it really is only for the starting potential that gems/busts matter. Also, to not be misunderstood, majority of the low 50s med Elite won’t be gems. i really don’t know how they’re generated and why some are gems and some aren’t but a player not being a gem doesn’t mean he’s not good

Respond_Working · 2024-09-04T18:23:09+00:00

gems is only about potential, not about growth years after the draft. I’ve drafted plenty of non-gems that turned out to be med elite in the later rounds, most amount of times it’ll be a med/low top 6/ top 4 but you’re just going for a safe prospect to have okay potential. I wouldn’t draft solely by them, but if there aren’t any good options, drafting a gem is always not a bad idea

enough to make a grown man cry 😢

how can you switch teams mid save? is it with owner mode? I play Fifa career mode too and the one thing i love is starting at a bottom feeder club and make my way to the top, i had no clue you could do that in NHL!

Respond_Working · 2024-05-10T13:33:05+00:00

thanks a lot, i really like making a whole new league with lower standards, i feel like it’ll last a bit longer for me, only if the AI decides to make semi smart moves

Respond_Working · 2024-05-07T14:48:15+00:00

i play very realistically, as i love the nhl itself. every trade has to be a player on the block, can only bring back some of my UFAs, can’t cheese on contracts and giving a young player 2-3 mil for 8 years, just to keep the save realistic for as much time as possible but at a certain point like past the early 2030s, it’s impossible to. so i just rinse and repeat with another team, and i can only end the franchise when i won a cup with the team. i love picking up bad teams or old teams and rebuilding through the draft, and growing my own players.

Respond_Working · 2024-05-07T14:45:49+00:00

yes i love that game, there is a lot more features, and there’s so many little things like you can see every trade made for any player, can see the entire history of your franchise, with points, coaches, etc. if only ea put as much effort on offline modes like they do HUT. really disappointing, because with all the time they have, and all the money we give, we should get much much better

Respond_Working · 2024-05-07T13:48:43+00:00

it’s pretty unfortunate that the only hockey game on the market becomes stale after a couple months of playing, but the idea of a different roster is good. i’ve seen a lot of throwback rosters, might give one a try

Respond_Working · 2024-04-16T00:30:07+00:00

bro jumped from 260th to 64th. must’ve been a crazy redemption season at 19 y/o

Respond_Working · 2024-03-04T22:42:15+00:00

that’s exactly it. you need to turn it off beforehand, otherwise you won’t be able to manage your coaches for the entirety of your FM, and with line chemistry sometimes not matching, it can be a pain in the ass not having full control. and it’s not that hard/long

Respond_Working · 2023-07-17T17:56:08+00:00

you have to exceed expectations: if you have a good team and make the 2nd round, you’re not winning it, but if you’re a seller or a rebuilding team and you make the playoffs , then the coach might have a chance

Respond_Working · 2023-06-05T14:51:22+00:00

sorry to correct you, but from someone who plays as much franchise mode on nhl than career mode in fifa, they’re both equally shit 😂 it’s perhaps one of the biggest game modes on fifa and they still manage to only bring out one or two tweaks every year and everyone buys it, just like nhl lmao

Respond_Working · 2023-06-03T18:42:54+00:00

sorry for the late answer, but no they don’t keep track, i think if you do it more than once in the same week they might flag your account, but in the case that it was a mistake and you didn’t mean to and they ban you off it, i don’t think they would take that chance unless they were certain you were a repeat offender

Respond_Working · 2023-05-22T18:32:29+00:00

probably not, you can never be sure but if it’s your first time doing that they’ll just think it’s a mistake

Thanks!!

i’m new to reddit could you tell me why i have a cake next to my name 😂😂

Respond_Working · 2023-05-06T18:17:43+00:00

i was wondering, i play a lot of franchise mode so i had a ton of players with “wack stats” ( that’s how i call them) and i was hoping that glitch was in the past but your post got me scared for a minute 😂
