I also found a new prospect right wing, 4.5 stars name Kurt Banasik, he develop well? I am planning on drafting him and that guy Bernard Verot with my 2 first round draft picks.

I drafted an 18-year-old goalie with legit 5-star potential (the only one i can recall ever seeing in the draft). I started him in the NHL right away, pretty much every game. His save % was bad the first few years but wins and GAA have always been near the top of the league. Six years in with him I think I've won 3 cups (really strong roster in front of him). Here is his overall progression, with age:
18: 64 overall
19: 78
20: 86
21: 91
22: 93
23: 93

I have found that prospects with 4.5 potential will peak at 88-90. They seem to get up into that range pretty quickly, then fluctuate randomly by a point either way no matter how they perform from season to season.
Somebody please help me. I traded for a 19 year old 4.5 star 81 overall d man name v. Tolpeko. He was unsigned with ottawa and it wont let me sign him. Please help, i traded for him to play him and not wait for resigning phase of offseason

I developed Shinkaruk into an 89 OVR in 3 or 4 season's but I played most of the games so his stats we're probably much higher then they would've been otherwise. It took two or three 70-80 point seasons to develop him to 88 OVR, then after a 115 point season he only went up to 89, which was disappointing.
Monahan on the other hand has played the same amount of time in the AHL putting up a point in roughly 80% of his games and he still hasn't developed out of the high 70's.

That development actually makes perfect sense. Lazar had a 65 point rookie season, followed by a 57 point sophomore year. It makes understandable for a player to go down 1 OVR if they have a less productive sophomore year.

Hilarious that 7 fewer regular season points caused Lazar to drop, even though he posted 20 points in 24 playoff games.
I'm guessing the game assumes Jenner's improved PPG would've carried through if he had played a whole 82 game season.

Jonathan Drouin takes forever to develop in the new update. I drafted him in 2013 and I'm in 2019 and he has yet to crack my roster. I hope he'll get a boost soon but its just so unrealistic. Usually players of his caliber will be NHL ready 1-2 years after being drafted. The whole 2013 draft class in the game takes a while to develop and it sucks cause some guys that I drafted in 2016, 2017 and 2018 are already playing on my team...

As ridiculous as it is, in my experience play-off production doesn't do much for your players development. I've had Karlsson put up 70-80 points in the reg. season followed by another 30 points in a 20 game run to the Stanley Cup and he only improved 1 OVR.

I find if you force a player into the NHL right from the draft they develop much faster. If you keep your players down in the minor's for more then a couple season's it really hurt's their development.
In the same draft year I picked both Shinkaruk and Monahan. (4.5 star progression) Shink started in the NHL right away and is now an 89 OVR after 3-4 season's, however Monahan's only a 77 OVR after the same amount of time in Bingo.

He took a really long time for me too so I made him a 78 overall, but in 5 years, he was only an 81 overall. For my current GM, I had to create another Drouin to replace the one in the game. I hope this one progresses better. I made him 75 overall with 4.5 Green stars. I also replaced Barkov and made him 77 overall and 4.5 Green stars.

I hope they turn out better for you and that's probably what I will do with my next Be A GM once I am done with this one but I'm still hoping that he and Frederick Gauthier will crack my roster soon!

I hope they turn out better too. Your Drouin will probably shoot up to 86 or 87 when he turns 25, but Gauthier will probably stay lower than 82 or 83.

The game's really old at this point, but in case anyone didn't know, created players develop infinitely better than players that are already in the game.
So, for example, if you create Jonathan Drouin in create-a-player mode, and give him the same attribute ratings/potential as the already existing Drouin in the game, he'll be an amazing player in 2-3 seasons.
Works pretty much 100% of the time. EA's dumb.

The set age where prospects make the jump to their full potential needs to be randomized, not set permanently at 25. That's 7 seasons I have to wait for a prospect I drafted 22 overall to make the NHL...wtf is that?

Yay hockey!
And plenty of prospects in NHL13 make their jump before 25.
I'd still like to see a complete revamp of the player growth system for 15.

Ok, well, couldn't sign Tolpeko. Lost in 5 games in the Stanley Cup Finals. Tolpeko boosted from 81 to 87 as an unsigned player on my roster, he didn't play a minute of this past season in Ottawa or here in Boston.
The player development system 13 has in place is just garbage. It's so unrealistic because I drafted Drouin and he only went up 4 points from when I drafted him as a 68. But that unsigned prospect on my roster Tolpeko went up from 81 to 87 and didn't play a single minute this whole season. It's messed up, lets hope its better in 14.

If its for the Regular draft you have to change the players age to be 18 or under then out them on an CHL/Euro team(for Euro teams you have to have their age above 18 to trade them there but once they are on the team you edit there age back ti under 18 agian)....Hope this helps
