OT: Eastside Hockey Manager Thread: "We're all better GMs than DW" Edition

[Mafoofoo]

Seems like all the EHM talk is starting to take over the OT thread so I figured why not just make a separate thread for it. Discuss anything to do with the game and how infuriating it is to make any decent trades unless you get lucky.


So that Sabres team I made while messing around with the control multiple GMs function is undefeated so far. Which sucks because they blew out my Sharks team like 8-5. :-(

Also McDavid sucks. He only has 1 point in 15 games so far for me.

McDavid's stats are pretty absurd after 4 years. I've entered rebuild mode a year after Marleau left me

Although Thornton leaving was like a non-issue.

I've also found it's reasonably easy to trade for the 1st overall at the draft.

How the **** do you advance to the next day? I'm trying to hit continue in the top right, but that is doing nothing.

Won a cup in my 1st season yesterday. Lundqvist was ****ing insane in cup final. I honestly thought he would steal the series from me all by himself. I went up 2-0, but King Henrik put the team on his back, and stole 2 OT wins to tie the series. But even in a video game, there's only so much 1 player can do...

If you are unable to hit continue, then you may currently be doing something that wont allow you to skip to next day (offering a trade, viewing lines, etc), so just back out of there, and try again.

Also, I already told Foofs this, but ****ing DW randomly quit on me like 1 week into the season as my assistant GM. I tried hiring him back, but he basically told me to **** off...now nearly 10 month's later, he still remains unemployed, and I have a cup ring.

Chris Mueller is always a monster of a waiver pickup in the early game.

I'll have to try that later.

How do you make an offer to a free agent? I looked all over for it and couldn't find it.

 

[Mafoofoo]

To see free agents I think it's view shortlist -> then click player search -> then filter to NHL free agents


Then click the persons name and in the top right corner under actions or whatever click that and on the drop down menu theres an option to offer a contract.

I also finally beat Buffalo. In Buffalo. After years of being destroyed by them whether they were the super buffalo team or the bottom feeding tank for mcdavid team. Finally feels good to have dominated them.

I haven't played EHM in years. I don't even know where to begin again on even downloading the game. haha

So, I proposed a trade, so I guess that's why I can't advance the day. I have to cancel the offer then in order to sim it?

 

[Coily]

Pick SJ. Try to re-sign Wilson to assistant GM. Laugh when he accepts.

Yea pretty much. It happens a lot with a bunch of stuff. Just click the continue button and it'll take you to the page that you need to cancel.

He refused to sign when I asked him to. 2 years later he's still unemployed while guys like McTavish has been hired and fired twice.

 

[hohosaregood]

Did they just add the "addiction meter" on the saved game page.

 

[Mafoofoo]

Yes and it's hilarious.

I got about 30 trade offers since I made John Scott and Scott Hannan available. Do I need to reject/cancel all of them?

 

[DonskoiDonscored]

Found an epic trade:

Griffin Reinhart + Nick Leddy for Brenden Dillon + Darcy Ashley (Canadian College UFA in year 1) + Rights to Fredrik Bergvik.

To advance the day? I think so. But it's pretty quick. And fun, since you can laugh at all the hilarious offers people are giving you.

I have no idea what I'm doing. Haven't had much luck drafting at all and my prospects haven't progressed much. I thought I was doing a good job of deploying my scouts, but by the middle of the draft none of the players have ratings anymore. In my third year Hertl started with ~5 points in 20 or so games, so I gave him an Official Warning for poor performance. Now he's been wanting a trade for a few months. Unlike the rest of you, I am not doing better than DW. Still enjoying the sim, though.

Where are you sending your scouts?

I trade Hertl and Thornton year one as they never do well.

 

[ClicheGuevara]

I trade Hertl and Thornton year one as they never do well.

Generally its to the U-20 tournaments when they're active, the Canadian major junior leagues, USHL, NAHL, specific countries targeting ages 17-19, college conferences, and some of the smaller N. American leagues like BCHL, AJHL..

I put Hertl on the block but was getting **** offers, like 4th round picks and Robyn Regehr or Barret Jackman and a pick.

I send my scouts everywhere in the nations and regions menu and then once they're done with that, I tell them to scout draft. It's worked out decently. Hertl was having a bad year early on but he's been my best player for like 3-4 years now.

 

[rangerssharks414]

I feel like an idiot for asking so many questions. I never played this before.

How long does it take to get a response for a trade?

Only smaller leagues you should scout are ECAC and other high-profile college leagues. Try covering your bases and scouting 'NHL Entry Draft' as well as countries like Canada, USA, Russia, Sweden, Finland etc.

Also, I always assign scouts to my AHL and NHL teams.
