I my Be A Pro season , Henrik and Daniel retired together in the 2018/19 off-season. Daniel had about 60 more points than him (and they were pretty good too , 1400ish points each).

I used to be bad at aiming the puck also. In 09, I only knew how to cheese shot and I wasn't really much different in NHL10. It wasn't till NHL11 that I realized how to actually aim since I never really read how the buttons actually worked.

Basically, your left analog is your aim button. I used to have the misconception that the right analog was the shoot + aim button. Just go offline and go to practice mode and just do simple wrists and try aiming with the left analog. Once you learn how to aim properly, you'll be surprised how useful it is in tight games where you don't have the time to drag. A simple wrist shot by tapping up with proper aim will result in goals. Dragging the shot back gives the shot more power though.

As for controlling the puck, this is something I think I'm pretty good at but you can't really teach it. It comes from experience knowing at which angle players can hit you at. Sometimes turning your body/direction can allow you to absorb hits unless their player has really high checking. Stay near the boards when a big hit is coming, pin to dodge hit and slide off of him. However, if they do pin you, just wait for teammate and then pass down (sometimes it's a turnover though). Also, anticipating poke checks by pulling the puck to your backhand or forehand are great ways to keeping the puck on your stick. I suggest you go offline and do a 1v5 against CPU holding the puck in the offensive zone. If you can keep the puck on your stick consistently with 3-5 guys chasing you, you should be fine.

When the analog controls first came in, it clearly showed you that aiming was the left stick and shooting was the right stick. It makes you do the tutorial, even made you do it last year. This year it doesn't, as it forces you to play the Winter Classic instead.(I know you can just quit).

Just go to practice and do the shooting drill. The ring on the inside of the circle where it shows your aim is the post. A lot of people don't know this, but when you aim the stick all the way to one side you're actually aiming at the post. Although thanks to the accuracy you never really hit it.

I actually found that guys with 99 accuracy hit the posts a lot if you aim all the way to the edge. I tend to always aim to the edge because I'm never thinking about it in game.

Got him in my Fantasy Draft BeAGM. ;) Stud.

Also there's a glitch in BeAGM. I have a bunch of 18 year olds playing in the AHL. I can call them to the NHL and back to the AHL any time. For whatever reason, I had Nugent-Hopkins in the AHL, called him up to the NHL, and now it forced me to send him to junior. Everyone else his age it doesn't do that.

i wish there was at least one franchise player every like 5 years i have played 10 years now and have yet to find one single franchise player through the draft

its strange but i have found way more players for my nhl club from rounds 4-7 compared to 1-3 seems a bit odd

and not sure about this one if anyone can confirm this but i think the trade value for players is somehow connected to their stats seems like for me the trade value goes up for some of my players if there having great seasons

the injuries really need a patch cause i have to play with them off i got full medical on my beagm and i still can never have a full healthy roster and the injuries are always 5 weeks long for me. i know nhl teams have to deal with injuries but its a bit overkill and should be toned down

lastly even with injuries off my goalie always get injured at the same time at the end of the year for 2 weeks i think there might be an actually glitch with injuries like how player growth was glitched last year and needed to be fixed in a patch

I think they should get rid of random free agents playing for your AHL team in BaGM. During the offseason I decide on my lines for both NHL and AHL teams and don't resign players who would be taking away playing time for my top prospects. But then when I start the season, there's Oreskovich, Mancari, and all the rest still on the team, with Jensen, Archibald, and other players scratched.
