Wait I am confused. So you can only change team strategies on a per game basis, instead of universally for franchise? If this is the case this is still majorly broken. That means any games simulated including CPU team games will be stuck with there original team strategies. Which means hiring a coach to run a new system will have zero effect on your team improving, as you will be stuck with the default coaches settings you started the mode with.

I like to simulate a lot of game so I can get through multiple seasons and this is absolutely game breaking

Would have to test this. It may just be defaulted to the coach, so if you hire a new coach the new coach's strategy becomes the default. It's realistic that way, if you hire a defensive coach it makes sense the strategy would be defensive.

I fired my coach and hired a more offensive coach and the default team strategies didn't change. Hope they patch this because that is just stupid. Not seeing any point in coaches if their strategy isn't implemented

This has been a problem every year since they implemented coaching staffs. If you change coaches you have to go see what the new coaches settings are, and change them manually. Locking us out of changing strategies makes this a completely useless feature.

They really bent their customers over this year. I used to sing this dev teams praises, but I just can’t wrap my head around these absolutely ridiculous decisions

This is something I wondered about in the past.

I was never sure if when CPU teams hired new coaches if their new coach's strategy would take effect (for actual games, I'm fairly certain changes were reflected in sim engine)

The changes you would see were simply the “line fits”. Those transferred over with the new coach. But the line formations, and defensive preferences such as pinch, hold the line, and shoot all had to be changed manually to match your new coach.

At least this was a work around in franchise. Now there is no work around in franchise mode. The feature is uselss.

The only reason I could possibly think they would make all of these assanine and pointless decisions is to push people to HUT. I don’t like the to be a ULtimate Team conspiracy theorist, but the decision to remove these things is so far beyond reason I can’t think of a single solitary reason why they would “break” their own modes intentionally

Yesterday I watched two NHL 23 streams shortly on YT and noticed that they removed the slow motion replays of the goals ? Can someone confirm that, or am I wrong and these guys only disabled it ? If yes, have they removed the replays during the period break in the small window too ?
