Re: How's Your GM Mode Going?

I'm 5-6-1 and really struggling to score goals. We need to pick it up as we are sitting dead last!

Starting up an official BeAGM today. I usually play with the Penguins, but I am going to switch it up this year and play with the Oilers. I want to play out of the Western Conference for a change, and with Nail, Hall, and Nug, I will have some young stars to build around.

Re: How's Your GM Mode Going?

I am thinking about getting this game as I can't play Madden anymore (too many issues). I was just wondering if this game is worth getting? I have played hockey games in the past and always play either GM mode or Be a Pro. What are the issues with these modes and is the game worth getting to play these two modes? Thanks.

I know you all love these updates I am sorry to deprive you all of them for 2 days. .

Just as a quick straw poll. Who would be a good candidate that doesn't often get done for GM Comms for when the draft updates come out ?

Re: How's Your GM Mode Going?

Finally back on the winning track, it helped that Ovechkin was injured as we beat Washington 3-1 to take our record to 7-8-2. I called up RW Ty Rattie and he got an assist on the 2nd goal.

Next up is Boston in Boston.

Re: How's Your GM Mode Going?

I've been slowly getting better. I think the last time I played my record was 7-10-0. Most of my losses have come in the third period, where the opposing team comes from behind with a handful of goals in rapid succession to beat me. My defensive game has slowly evolved though.

Re: How's Your GM Mode Going?

How do unsigned draft picks work? Meaning like how many seasons do I have to sign my draft picks to contracts,or just what age is the oldest they can be left unsigned as.

Did a sim of a season with no injuries or anything and here are stat leaders with the default sliders:

Points:Stamkos(98)
Goals:Stamkos(53)
Assists:Kopitar(65)
PIM:McQuaid(142)
+/-:Seabrook/Perry(+41)
SV%:Luongo(.938)
GAA:Luongo(1.86)

The next time the disc throws me back to the title screen after I have an awesome win I will snap this disc.

Re: How's Your GM Mode Going?

So far 2-0-0 with two close games. Read scored on a shorthanded goal with 13 seconds to lead us to a 3-2 win @ Boston and then a 4-goal third period saw us beat Jersey 4-3.

Re: How's Your GM Mode Going?

I used those sliders that people have been using in the sliders thread.
I must say it really adds a lot. Lot's of missed shots and missed passes by both teams. I'm now 10-1-0 playing on Superstar. I must say I'm surprised by my record. In the past I haven't been able to handle All-star. I've found that it has greatly lessened the cheese goals by the computer in front of the net. I'm also playing with collapsing.

LOL I have a Oilers team in 2016 that destroys the NHL.

Went the year before 52-22-8 and won the Stanley Cup (16-2). Now our young guys developed and I traded 3 1st rounders for Sam Reinhart, Huberdeau and Sean Monahan.

Lineup going into the 2016/17 season:

LW Taylor Hall (91) C Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (91) RW Jordan Eberle (87)
LW Jonathan Huberdeau (87) C Sam Reinhart (87) RW Johnny Gaudrau (86)
LW Nick Spaling (83) C Sean Monahan (85) RW Nail Yakupov (85)
LW Matt Beleskey (81) C Leon Draisaitl (81) RW Anthony Mantha (82)

D1 Brent Seabrook (88)/Justin Schulz (88)
D2 Cam Fowler (87)/Oliver Ekman-Larsson(87)
D3 Martin Marincin (85) / Oscar Klefbom (84)

GK Scrivens (84)/ Fasth(83)

Nugent-Hopkins was 4th on the scoring list last year and Edmonton is expecting big things from him.

Re: How's Your GM Mode Going?

Most people use "medium" for trade difficulty or "hard"?

Medium seems decent, but I wondered just how hard the "hard" setting was to get decent and believable trades?

Re: How's Your GM Mode Going?

I started over since I'm happy with my settings for now..

Lost 6-5 vs NY Rangers in our home opener, neither goalie looked good in net but the Rangers had the superior firepower tonight.

Re: How's Your GM Mode Going?

0-2-1 so far tough games against NYR, Calgary and LAK. It does seem like goal scoring is back.. games have been 6-5, 6-5 and 6-4.

Re: How's Your GM Mode Going?

30-27-2 with the Penguins.

Im scoring 3 gpg, but conceding 3.1.

Crosby has 62 points through 56 games (22 goals, 40 assists)
Malkin has 58 points through 57 games (20 goals, 38 assists)

Ive brought in Jagr and St Louis for some goals on the wings. Got rid of Dupuis and demoted Bennett.

Ehroff has a heavy point shot. 13 goals and 37 points overall.
