I should try that all the same lines thing, lol.

Injuries on or off?

Injuries off is probably a better idea

 

[The Rage Kage]

Barkov just went down from a 90 to an 83 after a 225 point season. He also has 4.5 Green star potential

That's really dumb. Was it natural or statistical growth

Off. The point totals are incredible. Huberdeau had over 100 goals and 230 points

 

[LetsGoFlyers8]

He was an 86 at the beginning of the season, 90 at the end, and then he went down to an 83

I've thought for a while now that a team without depth could play their 1st line on their 3rd line. Would that make them to tired? Has something like this ever been done IRL? I'd assume that you'd want your 1st line to get the most playing time anyways...

 

[Falcon63]

Dam, I can't stick to just one BeAGM. It's too easy. Either I pick a team that can win now with or without a few trades, and be gifted good, young players (like the Bruins with Hamilton and Subban), or I create a team of 60 overalls and be gifted 1st overall picks.

I just want to create a team full of enforcers, power forwards, and grinders. Basically, all guys that can fight and check hard

Based on your last paragraph, when nhl 16 comes out you can just use Calgary they'll probably have enough enforcers by then

Haha, yeah. But I wanna use the Bad Boy Bruins

Actually, for the most part, in NHL 14, you really don't need anything other than checking, shot power, agility, and defensive awareness. Or at least I don't.

I don't pass east-west AT ALL, and I usually just utilize high agility players to weave around until I find someone open behind the net, or, if I'm already behind the net, ready for the one-timer. So passing isn't really needed. I weave in and out, so puck control isn't too important. I rarely deke, so deking isn't.

Shot power for obvious reasons. Accuracy really isn't too important, IMO, since it's more about making the goalie commit to the wrong side than it is shot placement. Also, a good slapper across the boards is MUCH quicker than a saucer pass/regular pass.

Checking and maybe hand-eye for dump n' chase. Defensive awareness for stopping the cross-crease on defense (just sit there in the passing lane, don't poke check).

You'd think speed for dump n' chase, But I usually get good bounce, so any player can get there in time. It basically comes down to who can hit who off the puck.

I'm not sure how poise works, but I've found it helps during sims. I think it's like a "clutch" attribute, but I dunno what it actually does.

So, with my requirements, it's very easy to find cheap, reliable players that I can personally win with and have fun with.

Forget overall, how the **** did he get 225 points?

He literally played every minute every game.

 

[LetsGoFlyers8]

I decided to start a new GM so I made a custom team with all 36 overalls on it. I just started simming and through October, I haven't scored a goal and the closest game was 11-0. The worst I saw was 24-0

Edit: Bruins just beat me 9-0

 

[LetsGoFlyers8]

I finished the season 0-82-0 and my team didn't score a single goal. The worst +/- on my team was -485 but there was a guy with +1505 and one with +1499 so I think they were so low it glitched the game. The team also did not have a single shot or takeaway all season. My goalies had GAA of 16.44 and 15.82. They also had 2,550 and 2,444 shots against, both more than a shot per minute. Also had 97 Shorthanded goals against

 

[LetsGoFlyers8]

The guy who's plus minus was so low it glitched to +1505 just won the Hart, Norris, Lindsey, and Masterton


And then I lost the lottery...

 

[The Rage Kage]

that's actually amazing

I loaded the original rosters with gagne and made him a sniper and let giroux voracek and him take every forward minute, giroux almost had an assist every two games. Gagne had 100 goals.

I had to use gagne because peter forsberg told me he was the purest shooter he'd ever played with.

Nice. Forsberg was right. Gagne was amazing when he was in his prime

 

[Falcon63]

For simming, does player type make a difference? Or is it jsut the stats? And what does poise do?

How much do players' attributes go down from hard hits?

 

[Bdravens]

Might have one of my most stacked teams ever in this Phoenix GM. Really thought they were going to bore me but I think this is one of the longest ones I've stuck with and I think I could do this one at least 10+ years for some reason. I think I've gotten pretty lucky with player profession in this one. Right now these are my lines in the 2018/19 season.

Oscar Moller 84 - Malkin 92 - Yakupov 92
Baertschi 85 - Ennis 84 - Nylander 85
Lessio 81 - McMillan 83 - Toffoli 83
Beleskey 82 - Gordon 79 - Hanowski 81

Gormley 89 - Myers 87
OEL 86 (caught the plague) - Yandle 86
Levi 82 - Topping 81 (some guy I drafted in the 6th round 2014, 3 1/2 red and was NHL ready in year two, very odd)

Da Silva 88
Visentin 84

Oscar Moller is 3 1/2 stars, was putting up like 85-90 points on the Kings second line, didn't even know he was in this game.

Right now at the end of December, this team is 27-8-1. Obviously have made a lot of changes, but this team had made it to the WCF in 3 of the 5 seasons I've been using them. Just can't seem to get to/win the cup.

 

[Falcon63]

I just wish there was like an actual expansion mode or something, so that I could get a competent team right from the start without "relocating" an already existing team (plus, I could ensure that I didn't take any players with high potential to make it harder to rebuild).
