Very interesting results.
Thought teams like Edmonton and Minnesota fizzled out in the the playoffs and should have done better.
Some teams like Montreal and Phillidelphia should have done better imo.
What do you guys think?

 

[WTG]

Sidney crosby sucks in all my BeaGM games (NHL16)

 

[Vankiller Whale]

Really interesting results, although I can't really say I'm surprised to see my Sharks choke in the 2nd round

(And of course the Canucks choke in the next round, and the Blues in the round after that!)

I'm curious as to how my entire team did, with two top-10 scorers on 2 separate lines, I'd be interested to see how many points the other linemates got (although I guess it would probably be a hassle to do that for everyone)

By the way, which teams were top 5 in GF and in GA?

Also, thanks a ton for doing this!

EDIT: Oh, and goalie stats, too!

EDIT2: And defensemen scoring!

Sorry for being so demanding...

This is on Season Mode actually.
For the League Wide Mock Draft we had on the Canucks section of the forum.
But I do agree that Crosby is usually bad in Video Game sims
This one was quite a surprise

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Interesting results. This was actually pretty funny though. Not surprised the Blues made the final. Very surprised Arizona didn't make the playoffs.

Now we need NHL 16!

No problem man, it was kinda fun to do.
Something about that words "Sharks", "Playoffs" and "Choke" eh?
I would put up more detailed stats and yes I forgot to do GF and GA. (Facepalm), but I already took down my xb360 which I did this on and put my xbone in. May update stats later

Yeah, surprised at Arizona too

 

[DFAC]

thx for doing this radim

VERY interesting results to say the very least. quite diff from how i have the teams ranked

 

[canuckking1]

I beat Vanilla thats all I care about but how the f*** did I get swept by The Leafs

 

[Tryamkin]

thx for doing this radim

VERY interesting results to say the very least. quite diff from how i have the teams ranked

no prob man,
very interesting indeed

 

[canuckking1]

I don't get how Backstroms not even in top 10 for Assist LOL Sean Monhanan has more

 

[Intangibos]

Well, I like my regular season results, but not a fan of the first round exit. I guess it makes sense considering how many Canucks I picked. To Chicago of all teams...

Well played to nameless 1 for edging me out for the President's trophy. Especially interesting since we would be in the same division, I wonder who won the season series.

MDC probably cost me a fair bit, I wonder how many points he had. Plus I expect Kassian and Kessel to have career years, or I did until Kassian had his incident (I still think his points per game pace will be solid), so NHL 15 wouldn't be taking that into account I suppose. So I'm just going to go ahead and say that I won

 

[Ainec]

Very cool well done.

Makes me want to get NHL16 and a console to make a video L


tbh I'm very unfamiliar with this. The only EA SIM I've watched is the Stanley cup predictions.

Dumb question but did the SIM take into consideration that Crosby is playing with both Kuznetsov and Panarin (two right handed shooters) and a roster with 6 puck moving D? Because that's the only way it makes sense for him to score 107 points. If so that's pretty damn cool

[Ainec]

another dumb question: but did Rocket Richard Oscar Lindberg make any contribution or was it a condensed line-up

 

[Peen]

Couture played for Anaheim rip

 

[Captain Bowie]

Not bad for Canucks!

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Yikes

 

[nameless1]

I am seriously surprised that my team would win the President's Trophy...

But I also did not expect it to fizzle out in the first round.


Honestly...
I thought I would make it to the 2nd round...
At the very least.

Oh well.
At least I know I built a great video game team.
Thanks Radim.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Vanek top 10 in pts..... Lol

 

[nameless1]

I am curious at how my D corp performed point-wise.

 

[Addison Rae]

my team had way too many underrated players to be good in this

 

[Bam19]

my team had way too many underrated players to be good in this

Not sure how updated the players were stats wise.

I feel my team was to young to excel at an NHL 15 sim. Still didn't expect them to do as bad as they did.

 

[Vankiller Whale]

Vanek top 10 in pts..... Lol

Playing on a PP with Giroux and Thornton will do that.
