Re: How's your Franchise Mode Going?

I'm enjoying this years NHL,not as much as I thought I would.
Think the game is very uneven,yeah you win some games 5-1 and lose the next with the same figures in real life to,but it's the way you lose it that gets me,über powered CPU at times,and I've had a massive problem drawing pens lately,probably because of constant slider tweaks.
But can't really set this up right,thought I had it.
Anyway think I'm 9-7-1 so results are alright,game play isn't
Might even go with out the box setting to see if it plays better

We win Game 5, 4-2 and have the lead over the Wild, 3 games to 2 heading back to St. Louis.

The road has won all the games in the series so far.

Re: How's your Franchise Mode Going?

Don't be afraid to give yourself some advantage when it comes to passing,CPU is brutal and I can't make them pass under 75% even,and that's with CPU passing and puck controll at 10.
Scoring isn't an issue for me,usually score around 3-4 per game,just shoot when when keeper have to move sideways or if you have a defender in front of you so that he blocks the keepers view

I have 50 as shooting acc for me and 40 for the CPU,that makes it around 30-35 shots a piece per game,on 8 min settings

Re: How's your Franchise Mode Going?

I'm 17-13-4 with my coyotes,so I'm doing surprisingly well,especially since I've traded away a few players this season for trade picks
Think my salary is at $55 millions,and I'm having 7 millions of dollars in retained salaries,probably have S Doan retire next season,he's 40 now,and that will clear up another 4 millions.
Going to spend heavily on the free agent market next season,probably around 15-20 millions.

Re: How's your Franchise Mode Going?

Going to a Game 7 vs the Wild. Both teams are 0-3 at home and 3-0 on the road. I'm hoping that helps us with a 4th game on the road, but this has been a crazy series so we shall see which Jake Allen shows up for us as Dubnyk has been the better goalie overall.

Either we win and hop a flight to Nashville or we lose and hang up the skates for the season.

Re: How's your Franchise Mode Going?

We lose Game 7, 3-2 late in the third period. Tampa Bay had won the Stanley Cup, but the game froze. Simmed the rest again and Nashville won the Stanley Cup and Jagr retires after winning his third cup (I believe?).

Shattenkirk held out to the final end and signed a 4 year deal with Montreal.

My owner wanted us to upgrade at goalie and Tampa Bay had Andrei Vasilevskiy on the trade block, so we sent Jake Allen and our 2018 1st round pick to Tampa Bay for Vasilevskiy and their 2018 4th round pick.

We are a younger team this year, but still have our core intact. Smaltz will move to the big club to fill the empty D spot.

Allen is tearing it up in RL, but let in too many softies this season for us and had a horrible save %.
