Got my TWD (84 overall) drafted 1st overall by the Panthers. I played the preseason, scored multiple points each game and still got sent down. Said **** that, re-loaded the game from right before I got sent down and demanded a trade. They said they'd shop me immediately, still sent me down, then traded me for two firsts to the Rangers, who called me up immediately (apparently the games not at all realistic) and put me on the second pairing. The trade request was fulfilled in a couple days.
I'm tempted to play Live the Life with Evander Kane, be an ******* in all my interviews and keep demanding trades, just to see how long it takes virtual Chevy to move him.
I can't believe how many times I'll start a shift when the puck is already in my end and we'll get scored on before I can even get to the blue-line. You'd think it'd be easy enough for EA to make it so defensemen change in realistic scenarios. Of course, playing as a forward is even less realistic because your linemates typically can't do ****. At least as a defenseman taking point shots the deflections and rebounds work pretty well.
