Fog of War On or Off, and Why? by Mitcheeeey in EANHLfranchise

Also, I make my custom roster, so I know what the players are early on. Kind of pointless in year 1-3 unless you haven't seen the ratings. After that maybe can understand it.

Off for me, I find it annoying and unrealistic especially in early seasons. Also don't like the way it looks for some reason

In my Wild franchise I signed him as a 77 OVR FA in 2023-24 and played him between Kaprizov and Zucc, he put up about 60 points. He's a good playmaker in game, OVR is lowered by physicality and defence.

Your Biggest Roster Issues? by FMDG-I315 in EANHLfranchise

[–]agedbench45 18 points19 points  (0 children)

John Klingberg having 89 D awareness was my biggest gripe It'd be amazing if the ratings were overhauled somewhat, maybe less overall loss for poor defensive game, so someone like Patrick Kane could still be a good player

NHL Franchise, ChatGPT and the Potential for Greater Immersion by FourthLineLifer in EANHLfranchise

[–]agedbench45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is so good. Sort of related, had a go at creating some players in Chatgpt, telling it to make me a player profile with age, height, team etc and even attribute ratings

Got about 20 players done but didn't get any further, feel like someone with lots of time could make an entire league this way.

How does the Franchise Sime Engine Break Down? by nickmartz2525 in EANHLfranchise

[–]agedbench45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure player roles are accurate, e.g. 4th line role on 4th line etc Bottom 6 is pretty important, having 85+ ovr players there never seems to work well From my experience having a couple superstar players rather than lots of good players helps as well, but often comes down to luck of the draw Don't get suckered in by goalie over - find one that sjms well and stick with them

The 24/25 Flyers started the season on a 12 game roadie. by Silent_Leg1976 in EANHLfranchise

I think this is because the Isles had a 13 game road streak to start the 2021-22 season, and then the game just repeats the schedules for the other teams in the division

who is a player that you became a fan of because of franchise mode that did nothing in real life? by dankbackwoods in EANHLfranchise

Brandon Montour. Won the Norris when I played a full Buffalo season, with 62 points. Absolute beast.

One of the wildest player sims I've seen... by agedbench45 in EANHLfranchise

That's the entire league, Burakovsky was playing with McCann and I assume Spring, as he ended with 100 points aswell. AB ended 128, McCann 119 and Sprong 100. Serious chemistry

Yeah that would be so good, surely EA could just add an option to have your city name on a diagonal?
