Tortorella's Rant Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Really? I had a 19 year old Noah Hanifin score a PPG for me, and his attributes were garbage. If anything, I've been complaining about defense scoring being way too high on my end. lol I had Kulikov turn in to a point per game 20 goal scorer Weird stuff, homiez. Doughty's got like, ten goals right now in about 60 games. Subban has 3. Chara has 0. I don't even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortorella's Rant Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 lmao we made the playoffs last game after leading up to that game with 6 straight losses. Wild and Oilers both needed to lose. Man, this team sucks. Up and down, up and down. Barely scoring goals at the beginning of the season, then peaked around 2.80, and now finished barely above 2.50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rough Neck Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I find in general players don't get as many points as 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) I find in general players don't get as many points as 2007. Might've been patches/roster updates. I dunno. I think the community can tweak those things when they develop a new patch or roster update. As mentioned tho defensemen scoring league wide is down for me. However I think the overall number of goals in the league is pretty accurate to that in R.L. And the PP production has always been down in my game regardless if its EA or 2007. High teens PP % is top of the league. People report differences here though. It's strange like that.

Intoewsables Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) Thinking of getting this game. Is it hard to learn? There's definitely a bit of a learning curve, but you can get a lot out of this game without being an expert. There's a tutorial video on youtube that walks you through the basics and that should be enough to get you comfortable. edit: The video's in the OP but I'll post it here as well.

Yeah for sure, my team isn't great anyways so I am working through those kinks. Overall though guys like Crosby get like 90 pts a season. In 2007 it was like 120 everytime. What player game was this you used to develop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Yo, did this game just update itself??? Some things have changed. Now player profiles include current star rating and projected star rating. Also, the stat sheet for the year has been cut down to only include exhibition, reg. season, and playoffs.

Kazmanian Devil Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) Turns out the AI has no idea how to fantasy draft. Ended up with this because they keep making stupid picks like Bogdan Yakimov in round 5 and Darcy Kuemper in round 2. Nick Foligno btw Edited July 16, 2015 by Kazmanian Devil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to tweak the algorithms or whatever that determine which picks the AI takes. Nobody takes Kuemper in the second round - even if you're drunk and don't have a clue about hockey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Well. I am in awe the Canucks got to where they did given they made the playoffs on the final day of the season and given the opponents they had to beat. Figured a first round exit. If we lose this, this city is definitely coming down this time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Turns out the AI has no idea how to fantasy draft. Ended up with this because they keep making stupid picks like Bogdan Yakimov in round 5 and Darcy Kuemper in round 2. Nick Foligno btw I forgot you could do fantasy drafts so conducted one with the Nucks last night, picking at #30 and #31. And surprise surprise, Darcy Kuemper was the unanimous choice of every single one of the scouting and coaching staff, despite Kane, Toews, Ovechkin, Malkin, Sedins, Subban, Lundqvist and Rask all being available still. So I then re-started with the Islanders. Exactly the same thing happened. Which I thought was odd, as surely different staff with different stats would recommend different players? So I started a third, with Florida. They recommended Kuemper for my first round selection. Unanimously. My fourth and final game I was the BJs. And 2nd round pick, Darcy Kuemper. I wouldn't mind, but in my long-term save he didn't even make the NHL properly. He's playing for Bern aged 34 now, only managing 188 NHL games with 74 wins and SV% of .902. That's with the Wild and their defence too. FIX THIS PLEASE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intoewsables Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I managed to trade Mike Smith for Darcy Kuemper in one of my games, and that turned out to be super lopsided in my favour. Smith was stashed away in the AHL for them at $6M or whatever, and Kuemper became a cheap, decent #1 for me. But yeah, the AI obsessing over him is bizarre.

Tortorella's Rant Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Do all player rights expire? Was it not like this at one point? I still have the rights to Sergei Topol drafted in 2003, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cocolocci Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) I'm in my 3rd year as Canucks GM, first year I missed the PO with 3Points. In my 2nd year I was the worst team in the NHL(I started a full rebuild) but I picked as 2nd My best 4 scorers in the 2nd year Now my team is.. NHL/AHL roster the players in the red box aren't Canucks players. My unsigned prospects.. I need to improve my defense and my bottom-6, does anyone have a idea? And I need some tipps for the tactics.. my tactics are BS, my scoring is so bad and my defensive is much worse Edited July 22, 2015 by Cocolocci Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
