When you shoot a puck at a player but they're in the middle of an animation so they don't start feeling pain until the animation is over.
One of these years they will put Mikael Granlund on wing too. And have both his face and name in the game. It differs year to year if they have his play-by-play name or his face.I love it took 6 years for EA to figure out Bryan Rust wasn't a center nor played center at any level of organized hockey, he was a RW for the US Development Team, drafted as a RW, a RW with the Fighting Irish, a RW for the Baby Pens, played both wings for the NHL Pens(mostly RW but some LW here and there). How they got center out of that is beyond me.
Found a new random bug/glitch(?). I typically simulate most of the games, only actually playing a few (season opener, Xmas, New Years, etc.)
So the game thinks my goalie is on a 3-game shutout streak currently, even though he was on a five-game losing streak. The only three games that were shutouts we’re the ones that I played. The game makes no sense.
When the opposing team has their goalie pulled and your player has a 0% shot of hitting the empty net until they cross the blue line and enter the offensive zone. Otherwise it's simply a dump to get an icing.
fired up NHL 21...
...closed the application and watched netflix.
I still play Legacy on PS3, I kept the rosters somewhat actual and created lots of players. (I'd be perfectly fine with an updated version of the game, adding LV & SEA). Really enjoy doing 25 year franchise careers, currently running Minnesota during the 2034/2035 season. Already finished a bunch of those long term projects, still entertains me to this day.Loaded up NHL Legacy Edition for the 360 the other day and had a much better time with a Be a GM/Franchise Mode save vs a newer one today.
I just wish generated players had more realistic names and consistant skill sets.
i drafted a defensive d third overall and he had all decent skills except his speed never went above 72, even tho acceleration and agility were okay and he was an 86 overall.
also, you draft players like tiny stamkos, a goalie from China.

It’s funny. I think I explained it in another thread (or here) before, But I never got to experience playing the NHL series on the 360. I get nostalgic over it because I used to be super into a lot of NHL youtubers that made Be A GM series.
Over the quarantine break my brother and I picked up a near-mint condition 360 with NHL 14 and the Legacy Edition.
I only was able to almost complete one full 25 year run, but I notice player patterns are so quirky as the game goes on deeper in the sim. Before I stopped playing, there was like a four and a half green star Enforcer forward that was 81 overall right out of the draft
Legacy was the first EA NHL game I did pick up since '07, so imo a lot changed for the better, even though I was a lot into the modded PC versions back then. (I still miss those modding days of NHL..)
I’ve offered up way more value for a first overall because the first overall player was a franchise medium... trade value was still higher on my end they said nope.Nope. NHL 20 actually has a decently challenging trade engine on Hard difficulty. Sometimes it's a bit too much (where you can really offload a lot of high end stuff and still can't nab a pick or something like that) but overall they've made it a lot more realistic. I only play with it on hard though.
Not sure if this has already been mentioned. But when you line up a hit on a guy, truck him and send him sprawling only for his corpse to completely impede your way to the puck and he casually gets up and gathers up the puck as if nothing happened.
Yes. I was thinking of posting this. It's so great how this happens many times a game.Not sure if this has already been mentioned.

I wish this game would allow roster sharing and some basic online lobby system like the early NHL games used to have. Would be cool to run some old school online leagues. Ah well..
