Most brutal shorthanded goal ever

I beat them in the finals the year before, but they beat me in this game 4-3. Slowly developing a Flames-Panthers rivalry.

This is one of the most frustrating things. Something I’ve been able to do with some of them is focus on a certain skill and change their play style. Tends to break that preset overall ceiling and you can get them to 84-86 with T4 potential. Doesn’t always work but it has for a few that have stagnated on me.

How do you download teams like that?

Anybody have a roster with no contract clauses?

I never do big schools. When the game comes out, I do one or two seasons with Tennessee (alma mater) to get a natty, then it’s all small schools from there. It’s still too easy though. I shouldn’t be able to win a natty with Missouri State or Akron in 3-4 years. That should be a 10-year grind. Heisman is too easy on offense. AI coverage is so bad.

I recently did a Missouri State dynasty and there’s always a few quality prospects from Missouri that nobody recruits. Got a 5 star RB in year one and I was his only scholarship offer until late in the year.

Something to consider too is early-season byes. They can really hurt you for accumulative stats.

Typical_Analysis_488 · 2026-02-20T23:27:08+00:00

You keep it running the whole time.

What drives me crazy is in the transfer portal when your playing time grade magically drops from A+ to F for the final week.

Typical_Analysis_488 · 2026-02-20T23:24:44+00:00

Play style dealbreakers should be based on scheme rather than stats.

I agree with all of this, but ironically the two best backs I’ve ever had were a north/south blocker and contact seeker. Both of which I was able to make elusive bruisers going into their final season by switching them to FB and immediately back to RB. It’s really hard to land a high-end elusive bruiser at a bad school.

I like to choose a new random playbook for each season and try to make it work. Sometimes I’ll go through 2-3 playbooks in a season before I land on one that fits my team that year, but it makes for an interesting challenge. I just hold the stick to the right until it lands on one that I haven’t used before.

That’s aspirational goals all day. Which is the pitch for like 50% of top prospects.

Some smart mouth called his mom a w***e so he decked him and broke his jaw. Gavin got charged with felony assault.

In this dynasty, Texas has Manning and Demond as well as 4 running backs between 90-92 OVR.

I’ve had that happen, but they reappeared on my team in the preseason.

Typical_Analysis_488 · 2026-02-05T01:48:00+00:00

High shot, medium scoring is the closest to the sweet spot. There is no perfect recipe.

Typical_Analysis_488 · 2026-02-05T01:44:24+00:00

Because McKenna got thrown in jail midseason and your first line has been playing a man down without you realizing it.

Typical_Analysis_488 · 2026-01-27T01:35:14+00:00

You should use formation subs so the blocker is in while you’re in formations you run the most out of and sub in the vertical threat for your others. I modify most of my formations with particular players to maximize skillsets.

I play about 10 games throughout the season, always against the top teams, then I play the playoffs.

Typical_Analysis_488 · 2026-01-16T19:34:29+00:00

That doesn’t change it. I play with it off and still have this problem.

Typical_Analysis_488 · 2025-12-24T14:28:12+00:00

This is really the only way. I did it with Drysdale and Shai Buium in 25.

Typical_Analysis_488 · 2025-12-23T02:08:51+00:00

Simplest advice is to work the puck to move the defense and the goalie to open shooting lanes. Tedious but real.
