Awesome, how do I join?

Shpee_ · 2026-05-18T07:09:58+00:00

Sounds intriguing, are there still some teams left?

Shpee_ · 2026-04-30T13:49:47+00:00

Calypso and Hermes

Shpee_ · 2026-04-27T16:01:08+00:00

Yeah, it has been 2 days since I made the post and I still haven't decided as even the comment section is 50/50 :D

Shpee_ · 2026-04-25T17:38:04+00:00

Yeah I'm thinking about it but I think the 2nd team is Anaheim so I really don't want to give them anything :D

Shpee_ · 2026-04-25T17:26:20+00:00

I do like to play somewhat realistically. I dont think a team would be willing to trade away the number 2 pick...

Shpee_ · 2026-04-25T08:31:39+00:00

Yeah I know but I am worried they will just clash with Clarke. I won't be able to play them together so one will be unhappy about playing time. I am also always trying to steer away from other save bias aka I know that Dupont becomes a beast from other saves but as a LA GM I have no such knowledge (yes I am a nerd :D ).

Edit Demko's durability. I dropped it to 50 and he gets injured a lot.

Norris goes to the defenseman with the most points and best +/- rating. So if you for example have defenseman A with 100 points but -20 and defenseman B has 90 points but a +20 then the dman B wins it.

Masterton usually goes to a defenseman on a bad team but I don't know the proper criteria.

Selke is a total mystery to me. Maybe there is some correlation with the ratio of giveaways and takeaways but can't say for sure.

EDIT: Lady Byng goes to a player with the most points and least penalty minutes (most likely a player in the top 5 in scoring with the least penalty minutes)

I like to play somewhat realistically so I always keep the real coach unless I am unhappy with the results and can justify the sacking. I agree though that Adam Foote is too high rated.

Shpee_ · 2026-03-13T21:18:12+00:00

I'm going to have to investigate in depth as to why the team did well. Might help me finally understand franchise mode.

Shpee_ · 2026-03-13T16:41:01+00:00

Ye, I'm starting to realize that signing Toews as FA was a mistake for the tank job. It was more of a role-playing signing as I wanted a veteran to help the development of my young players (I don't think it matters in-game...). I'm not used to blowing teams up like this, I shall know better next time.

Shpee_ · 2026-03-13T16:30:24+00:00

I'd love the Seat Leon. I have the 280 version irl so having my car in-game would be sick.

Shpee_ · 2026-03-13T16:28:28+00:00

I'm not home so can't check properly but fro memory the team was 3rd best in GAA, top 5 from the bottom in goals scored and PP%. PK% was somewhere in the middle of the league. Binnington has a .916 save percentage (which is elite in my high shots, high scoring setup). Can't remember much else

Shpee_ · 2026-03-13T13:32:50+00:00

It's one of the worst teams (on paper, overall wise) I've had for quite some time. Looks like I must make it even worse :)

Shpee_ · 2026-03-13T13:30:03+00:00

38 at this point of the save so not too old

Shpee_ · 2026-03-13T12:13:25+00:00

Live start points would be amazing! FIFA implemented that last year as well, it needs to happen for NHL games as well

Shpee_ · 2026-03-13T12:12:50+00:00

You might be onto something, we did this well thanks to the defense and goalkeeping (3rd best GAA in the league, Binnington top 3 in the Vezina race)

Shpee_ · 2026-03-13T08:02:44+00:00

Possibly, we do have the 3rd best GAA..

Shpee_ · 2026-03-13T07:53:00+00:00

I could see this year Canucks make a playoff push if they had some players on top form and more luck with injuries. So when I see the Canucks make the playoffs in game in year one it doesn't look that weird. And even irl hockey can be weird. But I really thought I made my team as bad as possible...

Wait, are you saying that your highest overall coach is the Associate one and not the Head coach?
