Re: NHL 14: New Features in GM Mode: video

Recap

• Be A GM length is adjustable
• Trade Difficulty (Easy to Hard)
• Authentic Cap Penalties (Real life buyout penalties and traded salaries carried into the mode)
• Assistant Coach Rotate Goalie
• 7 preseason games instead of the normal 4
• Retaining cap trading is there
• Future 1st round pick = worthless (like few years down the road).
• Progress Reports return
• Edit Lines page gets a change (unexpected good change)
• New Divisions is there! (But Division A. Division B.. etc)

Now if only PS3 simulation is fixed, definitely will be playing this mode this year.

The edit lines looks great and so does the salary retaining feature. Honestly, from what I've seen of the gameplay on peoples live feeds and such...this game looks pretty good.

There are even penalties!!! Slower pace, less hitting, plenty of loos pucks...looks like a lot of fun!!!

Great, thanks for posting. Looks like I'm more excited about some of the improvements that went completely unmentioned vs. most "selling" points. Can't wait for my Season Ticket download to finish!

I haven't watched the video but I assume the adjustable length means the number of years for the GM mode rather than the number of games per season.

I knew you were going to misunderstand that...lol. (Seriously, before you responded, I seen it coming) What a conundrum. You don't wanna sim, yet you can't play 82 games. What a mess...

At some point your gonna need to make a compromise with yourself...either learn to sim or play every game. I never sim either, but have no problem playing every game and finishing my seasons.

Finally some info about the only mode I care about!

in nhl 13, i played a total of 3 full seasons (without a sim), like you im a die-hard hockey fan. But if I will play different teams with the SAME PLAYING STYLE..... it will be BORING. No variety of approach...no NZ defense ..etc.

So was hoping that at least I can have 42 games/season so I could really see how the game progress after 5 season. Probably EA will not allow us because they design this game to only last 2-3 seasons. Marketing reason and programming reason (almost all players will be ranked above 90s or rookies having an insane improvement after a year).

At this point, if AI will give you the same playing style with ALL NHL teams...I will just wait for the next gen.

Thanks for the great info!

Last year on the PS3, i would say about a week worth of simulation would take a good 5 minutes.

But thanks to fillydilly on the Q&A thread, seems like he got the answer!

I got hold of a PS3 owner with early access to NHL 14 and he reports that the simulation is LIGHTNING FAST. Great news!

Edit:

He says it takes 1-3 seconds for each day to pass.

I have an idea for you...of course you're gonna do what you want, like any of us...BUT...may I suggest playing the game on Season Mode. That way you can adjust the strategies of each team (line by line even) in the league and thus every game feels different. It really works. Screw Be-A-GM...lol.
