So how did you guys get around EA screwing up Patrick and Capt Serious salaries that put the team several million over the cap?

I was distressed by this also. Toews and Kane's salaries are both set, incorrectly, at 10.5M for the 2014-15 season. (That's the new contract figure that takes effect in 2015-2016 season.) I didn't wanto to turn off the cap, either, but I did go ahead and turn off previous cap penalties and buyouts. (for the Blackhawks this doesn't amount to much, maybe $60,000). Then I started a franchise and much to my surprise all salaries were adjusted down by about 10-15%. Voila, the Hawks were under the cap, with a little room to spare for the trade deadline or a bottom six free agent.

My GM mode is going poorly now, zero wins so far. I'll figure it out sooner or later.

Is it really that hard for EA to put out a regular season roster update?

I'm in a GM Mode and I'm thinking about trading for Oliver Ekman-Larson from Phoenix. I like playing GM Modes realistically, so what should Phoenix get for a fair return in exchange for their young defensemen?

Just advanced to 4-2-1 with the Rangers. Was down 0-2 to the Devils going into the third. Zucc's, Nash, and Brassard scored before Kreider got an EN Goal to close the game. Duclair is eligible for return after straining his Hamstring in his third NHL game, but I'm going to keep him scratched to avoid further injury for now.

Goals -
Kreider (4)
Brassard (3)
Nash (3)

Assists -
J. Moore (8)
Brassard (4)
Stepan (3)

Teams 31% on the PP, 66% on the PK.

Third place in the Metro. Two points behind Colombus.
Detroit and Chicago hottest teams right now both 6-1.

This is a fun game and I usually love BE a GM but doesn't it seem very plain? The #1 thing I miss is when the announcers actually talked about players and they showed their stats on the year. In previous NHL games when you scored a goal it would tell you the amount of goals the player who scored has. Now it just feels like a "play now" game over and over. No storylines or anything. I'm still going to play and try to make the best of it. I just miss the small things that made it feel like a season.


Anyways I'm my Buffalo Sabres and I'm 3-5-1. Dealing with a ton of injuries because the computer gets giant hits on me all game every game.

Hi

I started my save with the Avs a while ago. I waited for the draft patch to come and now it has arrived. But the thing is that i want realistic gameplay.

I have won a big majority of my games and it doesnt feel so much realistic to me. Im playing on Superstar/hardcore with some tweaks. Any tips? Anyone who has great sliders?

My stats so far: 19-3-2

Doesnt feel right. So if someone could help me finding good sliders i would be very thankful. =)
