Re: How's your Franchise Mode Going?

I relocated Carolina to Halifax in my ea Access trial. I named them the Halifax Admirals and simmed the first season. Made a non realistic trade to get strome from Arizona and drafted comtois at 3rd Overall in the 17 draft. Traded for korpisalo and have now a real nice Young team with great Future players in Fleury Bean gauthier hanafin strome comtois and korpisalo. I traded staal and Skinner away to get the trades done. In the second season i will Play 40-50 games by myself. Right now im loving franchise Mode.but i am from Germany so i Can continue Not before thursday. Cant wait to get Back to my Halifax Arena.

Re: How's your Franchise Mode Going?

I am bringing back a franchise to Atlanta, replacing panthers with the Atlanta Knights. ( I remember the old IHL Atlanta Knights I would go watch with my brother) So went with a similiar color scheme. I really do not know many NHL players, so set up a fantasy draft according to how the teams actually placed during the 2015-2016 season in points. So I was 8th pick, and did a auto draft. Will post pics of my unis when I get a chance.

Re: How's your Franchise Mode Going?

Can make a whl team an NHL team and just take over their rosters? I'd love to relocate phoenix to Portland and still have the winter hawks as my team and uniforms.

Re: How's your Franchise Mode Going?

I'm 20-6-0 with The Kings. Still trailing Calgary who is 21-6-3. They were 21-2-3 so they've been on a skid of late.

I'm doing owner mode and My profits keep going down. I'm now at $81.507 mil. Started at $92 or so

Moving Sens to Baltimore (got spurned by Milwaukee) but still playing in Ottawa for now.
I'm 5-3-1 after 9 and just traded for Jagr. He'll be playing with Turris (who just came back from injury after getting nailed by an Eriksson shot on the PP).

Jagr's morale was low at first due to being new in the dressing room.

Re: How's your Franchise Mode Going?

When I relocated Arizona, for some reason Pavel Datsyuk appears on my roster. Am I missing something here? I would think that my roster should stay the same as it was previous to relocating the team.

Has anyone else experienced strange players on their roster after relocation?

Datsyuk's contract was traded to the Yotes during the draft so technically, he's on Arizona's roster.

Your profits are going down because as the season progresses you are paying your players.

Re: How's your Franchise Mode Going?

Bobby Ryan's out for 3 games due to a broken jaw sustained in a fight against Sam Bennett.
Bennett had flattened Karlsson when Ryan came flying in to defend his teammates good name (Eff you Burke! Truculance!)

With Ryan nursing a broken face, Jagr (early trade - thanks Panthers!) was moved up to the 1st line and Matt Pumpel (local boy, ESSEX, ON!) got the call from Binghamton.

Traveled to Alberta for games against the Flames and Oilers.
Got slaughtered in the Saddledome 6-2 but made up for it with a 5-2 win over Edmonton.
Pumpel scored his first goal of the season against the Oilers and Jagr got his first marker as a Senator. (score bug and commentators made a mention of this as well - nice touch!).

I'm going to be simming most of my games as I'm moving to Baltimore at season's end.
I wish I had more time to play all 82 games, but only have a few hours a week will seriously prevent that from happening.

EDIT: I know this has been mentioned before, but I wish EA would introduce some kind of league blog, similar to NHL2K10, to keep me informed of what's going on around the league.
I used to love scrolling through the various headlines from around the league to see what was going on.
It really helped immerse me within my franchise mode.

And with the new technology these consoles have, it's long overdue for a weekly wrap-up show with highlights and scores.
NFL2K4, a 13YO game had this on the PS2! THE PLAYSTATION 2!!!!
Saying it's not possible on the PS4 is nothing but lies and lipservice. Make it happen already.
