![]() ![]() ![]() SO hawks are hard because toews conract and his sim level. You do not want to be putting together Dmen who don't block / hit / takeaway the puck, as the game will act as those that pairing just don't ever have the puck. Those Dmen that have high stats across all of those advanced categories, are guys that you want to try giving more ice team to, or pairing them up with your better Dmen or the Dmen that are struggling. Look into a deep dive of your Dmen's stats - for some reason, all Dmen give away the puck a lot more than they Takeaway the puck, but look for things like Hits, Blocks, and Takeaways. 905 or above), then it has to do with the quality of chances your team is giving up, which is tied directly to your Dmen. If your goalie's numbers are pretty good (SV%. Goals Against: Below 3.00 Goals Per Game? If it isn't, then look into why that's the case.I put him on Veleno's wing, and Veleno instantly became a 40-goal scorer, and Tiffoli had a 68 point season playing as a playmaker for Veleno. So naturally, when he's on the ice he likes to give the puck to other players. Tiffoli also isn't a shooter (he averages like 80 shots a season, or 1 shot per game). ![]() In free agency, I found Tyler Tiffoli for cheap (82 overall, $2 million a year), and I picked him up because I noticed that he has an insane Takeaway/Giveaway ratio (meaning, he wins back the puck a hell of a lot more than he loses it). For example, as Detroit GM, for some reason, Joe Veleno is a super shooter - he gets about 250 shots a season. As a rule of thumb, I like to put the best shooters on my team, with guys that have a very high Takeaway - Giveaway ratio. If they aren't shooting, aren't putting up points, and for example, aren't hitting or getting Takeaways, then they aren't really doign much for your team - these are the guys that become prime trade bait for me. The guys that don't? Look and see how else they are contributing. Go into their individual stats and see what you can find start with shots - the guys that take lots of shots in games, are the ones you want to focus on. If a line is struggling offensively, then I try and identify why - ignore all the player types (SNI, TWF, PLY, etc). Goals For : At or above 3.00 Goals Per Game? If it isn't, then I start looking into my lines & line chemistry.Things I always look for when I'm not getting results: If you're finding that your team is really good on paper, but really struggling to perform, consider doing a bit of a deep-dive into the statistical side of the game. I would be more then happy to dig a lot deeper and really make the thread nerdy if you are looking for that. So if this comes off as super obvi its just because of that. I am not 100% sure of your player level so i dont want to talk down but dont want to talk over your head either. So if you tank the first couple of years you can fill up on talent while freeing up cap and set your self up for a 20 year dynasty which is less fun but thankfully you can just gm a different team after a few years. If you sim to year 3 you can get a good idea of how players are simming and then can really target the right guys for your needs. Some times guys are listed as snipers and play like playmakers so dont get hung up on what player type ea gave them. The overall stats dont really show how players sim so dont be afraid to give up on someone. Like you can get ovi for real cheap 2 or 3 years in and he will still be a 90+.Īlso i try to find the best players i can with high defense stats. Also you can make cool cup runs by replacing 2nd or 3rd line guys with deadline pick ups of aging vets with 1 or 2 years left and thats always fun. Best advice is seriously stay away from all star teams. The coaching system is still very broken. You also either need to find the right coach or turn injuries off and set the lines yourself so the game isnt putting an 87 center on the 4th line right wing. Realistically if you are close to those numbers and not going crazy with 90+ guys you will have left over cap. If you are running a team with overalls like this you will be in the play offs a lot.
