Do you guys think there will be any more Roster Updates before NHL14?
is there any way to set it up that all those drafted yesterday (or at least the first and second round important guys) are able to fall under property of their respective drafted team? I feel I found a way last year to go into their settings and get it to work to put them onto their drafted team but I can't seem to be able to do that right now.
I told myself after hockey stopped, I'd have a life again...
Well, there goes that theory. Found myself doing that. Probably won't be the last.
Probably because in the main menu, players are their current ages. You can't put 17 year olds in an organization lol
Is there any rhyme or reason as to how players progress in this game? I have two consecutive #1 overall picks that are stagnating in the 65-70 range after 2 & 3 seasons. 4 yellow stars, 4.5 green stars. Will these two ever get better?
It doesn't seem like there is. I don't like the way drafting and player progression was done in NHL 13. I guess it has to do with the new ratings system and stuff but it seems like most draft picks are absolutely worthless. I've noticed once you get outside the top 20 picks there's usually only 3.5 or lower potential players that never amount to anything and never make your NHL team. I've gone through 3 drafts in my current GM mode and I don't think there's ever any NHL ready prospects right away like there sometimes is in the real NHL.
I had 4 first round picks after the first season and here's their progression.
Furlong, 4.5 star potential goalie. Started at 44 overall ----> 49 ----> 55.
Pulock, 4.5 star potential d-man. Started at 59 overall ----> 62 ----> 65.
Rychel, 4 star potential forward. Started at 60 overall ----> 63 ----> 66
Domi, 4 star potential forward. Started at 59 overall ----> 62 ----> 65.
I feel like none of them are ever going to be able to crack my NHL roster because their stats are so low and they're taking forever to progress. It sucks because the Rangers took a goalie a couple picks ahead of when I took mine at 12th overall. I think their goalie was in the 45-55 overall range with the same potential as my goalie but theirs shot up to the mid 80's after two offseasons while mine is still under 60 overall. It's really frustrating.
Huh. I've drafted Pulock in every single first season of the draft and has done nothing but shoot up to low 80s and high 70s right away. Tops out around 88-89.
Monahan didn't reach in the 80s until he was 24.....
Seth Jones never pans out and ends up like a 79 or 80
Tarasenko never makes it past 84 either which really makes me mad.
He's a 91 for me, didn't take more than 2-3 years either before he was mid-80s.

In my Flames GM experience, Jones did the following: 78>89>90. All on his ELCMonahan didn't reach in the 80s until he was 24.....

Highest ive ever had jones go is 83, and thats giving him NHL time while he is in the mid-low 70s he takes a good 7-8 years to get there and then tops out. I drafted some swede in the mid 1st round probably 4 years later who got up to 88 Ovr in his 2nd year and topped out at a 91. Ekblad develops really slow as well.
