I haven't played an NHL game in probably 9 years but decided I'd give this a try. I started a Blackhawks franchise using the most recent roster update and AlTito's sliders. Kind of just dove right in without playing any "play now" games to learn and would just figure it out as I went. Lost the first two games 3-0 and 2-0 to Ottawa and St. Louis. Had a lot of trouble creating many chances or shots. By the 3rd game I started to anticipate movement of the players on my team and was able to create more chances, losing 3-2 to Toronto. I'm still getting vastly outshot but the gap has closed game by game. A lot of this is because I can't win a faceoff to save my life. I would guess over 3 games I'm only winning 20-25%. But I'll keep at it and I'm having a lot of fun with this game.
