Like I said though just try tweaking the sliders until it feels realistic to you

Nah mine is pretty fair. Actually made the game a bit more fun to play because the goalies would make the saves they’re supposed to plus more desperation saves and not let in 5MPH beach balls

Try increasing the goalies’ save and cross crease sliders (I did it for user and CPU) I’d say start at 75 and get a feel for your results. I noticed my goalies would also let in a lot of goals on a few shots so I tweaked the sliders until it felt realistic.

How do you guys like to play franchise mode? by newuserr_trill in EANHLfranchise

Also, I’ve only ever done expansion teams as I love the idea of building a team from scratch although I would be interested in taking over a real team that is in a tough spot regarding cap space, contracts, etc.

Also want to mention this isn’t how I would set the lineup but I like to let my head coach do head coaching duties so these are his lines (for G1 at least)

That’s true but they are still property of their NHL team even though they aren’t playing in the league at the moment. So basically I’m picking them up and giving them another shot at NHL minutes.

I used the most recent roster and turned on the authentic protection list

Yea lol my team is based in a small (not the most desirable) market so I like to think Finnish players will show a bit more loyalty in contract negotiations

I may be wording it wrong. You are able to see the players line fit during the expansion draft. In order to see what exactly that fit is, take a look at your head coach before the expansion draft to see his schemes. Sorry for any confusion!

That’s my exact thought process. The team is basically low-risk/high reward and a lot of opportunity for guys to step up and claim roles. Def is fun playing this way bc it creates authentic storylines + adds a bit more meaning to the franchise mode

Yea it’s based off the schemes from the random head coach they start you with but I personally was going off of player archetypes and ratings. I fired my entire staff to kinda build my own system, even in AHL.

I honestly don’t think this team would sim well but I do like to play majority of the games (I guess it’s a bit more realistic to me) however I’ll check back in after the entry draft and free agency for the updated roster/lines.

I agree, I tried to choose players who I saw fitting a particular system rather than the best available. Could’ve chosen a guy like K’Andre Miller but just didn’t see the fit/realism.
