Officially done with this game (not actually done with it just done with its ****.) EA's sim is broken. I had a GM mode with the Caps, first year and I didn't really change anything with the lineup other than acquire Kuemper as my backup and Brian Boyle. Team gets 63 wins? (too lazy to check) and Ovi gets 73 goals. First in the league by quite a bit. Playoffs roll around, the team finishes the season hot and we have a fully healthy lineup. Up against the Isles in the playoffs who barely got in, and guess what? We get ****ing swept. This just happened 15 or so minutes ago and I'm very frustrated
Update: now in my second season with the caps, no major moves. Resigned Shatty and didn't have enough cap to resign Oshie. My mistake I guess is that I probably should've resigned Oshie but my RW's improved, Burakovsky is now an 87, and Vrana is an 83. Needed a 3C so I picked up William Karlsson from CBJ (he was an 84) and Chad Johnson because I needed a backup, my team is still stacked and we didn't lose anyone other than Oshie.
Lineup
Ovi-Backstrom-Vrana
Johansson-Kuz-Bura
Eller-Karlsson-Wilson
Winnik-Beagle-Connolly
Shatty-Carlson
Alzner-Niskanen
Orlov-Bowie (82)
Holtby
Chad Johnson
(Defense is still the same as last year)
We are 7-18-2 after 27 games and I'm pretty frustrated. Vrana replaced Oshies production on the Ovi line, 22 points through 27 games, and an 87 Burakovsky playing with his high chemistry line mates only has 9 points through those 27 games after a breakout season which he hit 59 points. Holtby rocking a .896 save percentage after a Vezina win. Ovi with only 12 goals in 27 games after exploding last year with 73. Daniel Winnik with more points than Bura and Johansson. Why do I still play this game Was the loss of Oshie really that bad to the team lol
Edit: Forgot to add Arizona is second in the league, first in points percentage, Strome (83) and Holland (81) are their top 2 centers..no one over overall 86 except OEL. EA pls
