[Captain Creampuff]

I was drafted to Minnesota and they haven't re-signed a single key player. They've let Granlund, Coyle, every goalie and some other players go. It's a little ridiculous. The third line has 60 something overalls on it and the 2 goalies are a 66 and 57. It's really annoying. My question is though, after the 3 year entry deal I'm obviously not re-signing with them, but does every team you play for do this or is it just the first team you get drafted to?

Never had that happen to me. I got drafted by Carolina and they built a powerhouse where they could get 60 wins in a season with me simming more than half the games.

 

[DLANGUEDOC]

I have some questions, maybe someone can help?

1st. How can I become (Assistant) Captain, and what would I have to do?

2nd. What age do you get Drafted into the NHL?

3rd. How long can BAP last without you manually retiring?

4th. When can you request a trade?

If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Almost done my first season as a Goalie for the Kingston Frontenacs.

Just had a 28 save, 1-0 shootout victory. 5/6 shots saved in the shootout too! By far my best game, but I'm ripping it up. Doesn't hurt that my team's PP is at like 40% conversion rate.

Here's my stats:

Games Played: 55
Record: 41-8-5
Shutouts: 10
GAA: 1.39
SV%: .9272


I play with highly modified All Star settings to have the opposition shoot as much as possible, since having 12 shots a game against ruins any chance at decent SV%. As it is I'm averaging only 19.2 shots against per game, with 5 minute periods.

the question is are you using anticupation or just staying in front of the shot?

[JFA87-66-99]

I had an idea but not sure if I'll do it. I thought about creating a 19 year old player for a team in the QMJHL at around 85-87 overall, and then starting a be-a-pro with him and trying to break Lemieux's 282 point season record?

 

[Individual 1]

This game mode really frustrates me sometimes.
Got drafted as McDavid 1st overall by Colorado who went 38 38 6 0. I play the the 1st exhibition game get 4 points, sim the next one, play the 2nd game and I got a goal. Then I was told by my GM that I was for sure going to be on the opening day roster, so I sim the last exhibition game and I am sent down to Erie.
So Im sent back down to Erie I am no longer captain and I have to start out on the 3rd line again. It is pretty boring being 78 overall in the OHL.

Finally finished my third year with the Blues organization. We missed the playoffs for the third straight year now. I finally had my breakout year, getting 110 points. I won my first hart, art ross and richard trophies. My gm had not really done anything to try and make our team better the last couple years, so in the offseason I signed for three years with the Habs, who jut won the cup. Just before the preseason starts, they trade for Patrick Marleau! Hoping for a great first year with Montreal!

How do you win the Art Ross, Richard, and Hart, yet still miss the playoffs? I guess I should ask Stamkos the same question.

Ya I know lol. We actually just missed by one point. It just we had pretty much 2 good lines, and no good d.

 

[GabeTravels]

Just finished an epic first round series. Was down 3-1 in the series to Brampton, and made a great comeback, winning Game 7 in OT.

Am currently in Game 2 against Belleville, and made this epic back to back save as the 3rd period expired to send the game to OT:

[western redmen]

I'm curious, if u just sim the games, what are the chances of u getting called up?

 

[GabeTravels]

Down 2-0 in the OHL Finals against Plymouth. Gave up a late goal in the 3rd to send the game to OT, needing a win to avoid going down 3-0.

Made 11 saves in OT, including 7 on a late Penalty Kill and won thanks to a late deflection goal.

No chance you actually have to play some, I think the most you can sim is 4 after every game youve played before its considered bad.

 

[OttawaOilers]

BAP is complete bargage. You should be allowed to sim the NHL games, forever. I simmed the pre-season and scored 3 goals in 3 games and then I WAS TOLD MY SPOT ON THE OPENING NIGHT ROSTER WAS GUARANTEED and then I all of a sudden was sent back down to the WHL. I don't f***ing understand.... I guess it's a game of accomplishments and you're supposed to actually play it but I find it'll take way to long and just **** let me do what I want. FFS...

****. SAME DAMN THING HAPPEND TO ME. FFS...

 

[CP31]

That happened to me. I just saved before the preseason and kept simming throught the preseason and eventually on the like 7th try I stayed on the team.

You can sim games, just use the "Sim Game" thing. So you have to sim every game one by one, but it works.

 

[Nose Face Killah]

Started a goalie BAP, picked the Windsor Spitfires. I let in 3 goals my first game.

 

[Nose Face Killah]

About to play my second game as a Windsor Spitfire. Goalie is such a hard position in this game. I've learned that following the puck instead of the player helps to make way better saves, because if I watch the player he dekes the **** out of me and scores.

 

[Nose Face Killah]

Decided to do restart my goalie career by doing the NHL Entry Draft option. This time, with the Calgary Hitmen (Bret Hart FTW)

I like playing on the 1st line with Benn and Errickson. Only issue with this teams is they cant score when I' am not on the ice, and backup goalie Bachman leaks like a siv when he's in goal which is about 1 out of every 4 games.

In the first round of the playoffs against Minnesota up 2-1 in the series right now, had my first hat trick in game 2. so far 4 goals and 2 assists in the series.

Welcome to hell. If BAP G was the only feature of NHL 13 the game would legitamately have a 2 or 3/10 rating it's one of the most unrewarding, unplayable, frustrating game modes I've ever played.
