Unfortunately a lot of ARI/Utah’s top prospects aren’t in the game because they are overseas. Both of their 2023 1sts in defenseman Dmitri Simashev (6th overall) and LW Daniil But (12th overall) are playing in the KHL. I would recommend adding them as they will be big pieces of the future
You should also make sure to get the NCAA players in there Celebrini is a must if your gonna add those guys Idk if they’re in the game but hutson will smith gabe parreault Ryan Leonard cutter gauthier and you can assign those guys to their nhl teams
Johnny, with the Yetis having so many draft picks you NEED to have a focus on scouting. Finding good players in the mid rounds will be crucial to a quick turnaround for this roster. It may be a pain in the ass to do with the menu-ing, but it’s well worth it. This is the most complete way to scout a draft class that I’ve found in this game: 2 scouts in: Russia, Liiga, SHL, US Central, WHL, OHL, QMJHL 1 scout in: DEL, NLA, Extraliga, US East, US West Scout Player Type first Sep 13 - Oct 1 Then Strengths and Weaknesses Oct 1 - Nov 11 Skills Assessment Nov 11 - Jan 25 Potential Jan 25 - May 31 Dates can fluctuate a little bit, but those are rough guidelines. Prioritize a scouts overall before region efficiency, because that can increase. When scouting in regions with two scouts, use the first for the top group of prospects and use the second to continue with prospects after the first scouts group. You can also ignore prospects past the 300 ranking mark, I have rarely seen one get higher than low top 6/4 potential. I know this is a pain in the ass to do and understand if you don’t want to do it for this series. But it will be a MASSIVE help in finding the best value prospects to fill in your roster or use as trade pieces.
While scouting, I send each out til January 31st or as close as possible for potential. Then send them out again til as close to June 19th as possible, targeting specific players and further information. Might be kinda lazy but it works 99.9% of the time for accurate information.
Hey john glad ur back!! 1 thing i wanna mention is that stupid thing EA does to get u to the cap floor. they increase everyone’s contracts which is a bit unfair on u. You should reset the file and give urself a guy or 2 making max contracts on a 1 year deal so it doesn’t give u that extra cap on ur players like keller who still has 5 years left and is making 8.8 million (according to EA getting u to the cap floor) instead of 7.15. that extra money is crucial to the team especially a team looking to start getting competitive and maybe signing a few big name FAs
Just download a community roster file. There are some pre good ones out there with all prospect for all 32 teams, but watching Johnny for the last 12/13 years he definitely ain’t restarting this gm mode, and summing the season all over again
I can see the storytelling come to life, John will have so much fun with this series (EA voodoo not included during the regular season and will appear in playoffs)
Excited for the series John. I think you’re exactly right when talking about the direction of the team, the Yotes irl were in a playoff race and you have to imagine this team was too. they’ve been in a rebuild for so long, it’s time to start building a contender. As for doing that, while on paper you have 3 medium elites to be your top line going forward, Dylan Guenther, although a sniper, tends to have more assists. Especially if you’re playing him with two playmakers, I think you’re going to want a real deal shooter on that line. Futhermore, while the defense is young and looking good, you’re going to need an offensive defenseman to really boost up your forwards. I would say get a veteran sniper (or even two) and a veteran OFD, and just let the chemistry let the rest of the pieces fall into place. Last, it’s great the yotes have so many draft picks, but I would definitely package them for quality over quantity. Target those computer generated steals and if you’re just going to get a player that will never have a chance of making the NHL, trade it for something of value.
As a coyote fan, I can assure you that if history has taught us anything, no matter how bad the coyotes are, they will NOT get the overall number one pick. Edmonton cornered the market with that, no matter how much worse Arizona was than the Oilers. That being said, go with the gradual build. 👍🏻
butthole wayne is like 3rd best player ever butt munch shawn thornton and bryon bitz are better players from the 1920s score 74 goals both of them in 20 games 3rdplace in the league also only had 9 goals
the game legit crashes so often its like a 1/5 chance i crash between periods while playing on xbox one in franchise mode been like this since i got the game 3 months ago and i tried reinstalling and updates arent a issue the game is just broken even has a simple bug from nhl 23 when editing lines sometimes it'll substitute players in the wrong line
Macceli is an absolute man beast. Ive been running 3 years now with the Utah Mammoth, this guy put the team on his back in the playoffs, offensively. I don't care how his ratings work out, he's getting a lifelong contract.
I have him on the second line because I ended up getting the number 1 pick year 1 and nabbed a nasty left winger. We got steamrolled year 1 because EA saw fit to keep my squad injured all season. This game is ridiculous with injuries.
Yes, the return of Gm Mode!! I say try to build from what we have. Got to watch a lot of their games this year even though im east coast and they were exciting to watch. I think they really had something going.
Holy shit holy shit NEW VIDEOOOOO we love you johnny Also the presentation and editing is insane we see the absolute work you put in to all of your videos
Johnny you gotta restart the save because all your contracts are inflated (Keller for example is making 7,15M irl while hes making 8.86M in the save), the game does this when teams dont reach the cap floor at the start of a save. To fix this give a random bottom 6 who has one year left 11M so your team is cap compliant.
John you gotta retool on the fly. Find out which of the young guys play well and flip the ones who don't for picks while signing some vets to fill out a spot here or there and see where it goes
Logan Cooley can and will hit mid 90’s. I had a franchise with him on first line the whole time and he reached 93 low franchise at one point. Thats your cornerstone Johnny!
On May 5th, Utah did their first ever signing by giving the prospect Noel Nordh a 3 year entry-level deal. Just incase you want to be accurate with that.
Build around Cooley. Year 1 should be a trial year, no tanking, but no aggressive pushes for the playoffs, let the chips fall where they may. Figure out the chemistry and target trades to fill lines along Cooley/Guenther/Keller to fill out the Top 6
Go for the cup Guenther - Cooley - Keller will tear it up eventually especially with a + chemistry, the only gaping hole would be a franchise defensemen and an elite goalie, both can be addressed in future drafts/deadlines/free agency periods.
However, how long we wait for Johny to drop a fcking video, he always freaking deliver with a masterpiece... best franchise mode youtuber of any games hand's down. Always worth the wait, keep it up my man !
johnny i dont think u shld trade the #1 pick to SJS, if u claim your universe begins in mid-april you should be able to have ur own universe’s draft lottery!
My opinion...you've got the youth and possible potential to build around. Even if they don't work out as true superstars, they can always be plugged into 2nd/3rd line duty a few years down the road. Build around them, Make a push for the playoffs SOON, wisely utilize free agency, and use a lot of the picks to either bolster the team or trade for talent that will get you over the hump.
John with your weak goalie prospect pool I think you should target drafting the highest ranked goalie prospects, especially since you have so many mid round picks.
Trade your lower picks and your backup G if need be to get 2nd and 3rd rounders to fill out your roster. Stop-gap vets should hold you over. Don't be afraid to get a 20 y/o for the AHL to help the other draft picks.
Babe wake up 2bc dropped an NHL 24 gm commentary episode
Came here to make the same comment
*rubs eyes* no fucking way
Dropped to my knees in a walmart
Let's not get used to it too much
I'm sure he will get bored and finish it when the next game comes out
Hopefully this GM mode doesn’t end in 2BC purgatory
It will but we can still enjoy it while it lasts
these 6 episodes will be legendary
I miss the chel 12-14 days
It always does
they all do, every time. this dude is the definition of a flake
Life is so much better with a 2bc gm mode
100%
The only UA-camr I genuinely get excited about when I see an upload.
Unfortunately a lot of ARI/Utah’s top prospects aren’t in the game because they are overseas. Both of their 2023 1sts in defenseman Dmitri Simashev (6th overall) and LW Daniil But (12th overall) are playing in the KHL. I would recommend adding them as they will be big pieces of the future
I really wish that the NHL games could add in the KHL already honestly. Greedy bastards at EA probably just dont want to pay for the rights
@@SuperRavensfan101 nope it's actually the KHL being arrogant, the don't want their players in the game
@@RIPJimmyA7Xbut the khl was in the game in nhl 09 if they can do it then they can do it now it’s only fair shouldn’t make us make them.
@@RIPJimmyA7X It's because the game is called NHL. If they change the name, they would sell their rights
You should also make sure to get the NCAA players in there
Celebrini is a must if your gonna add those guys
Idk if they’re in the game but hutson will smith gabe parreault Ryan Leonard cutter gauthier and you can assign those guys to their nhl teams
Dude, that intro was cinematic af
The effort by Johnny.
Have to appreciate that.
Looking forward to this new season.
Go Yetis!
Hopefully this one ends up being better than the Stallions!!
Just playing Chicago bulls old highlights over and over?
Johnny, with the Yetis having so many draft picks you NEED to have a focus on scouting. Finding good players in the mid rounds will be crucial to a quick turnaround for this roster.
It may be a pain in the ass to do with the menu-ing, but it’s well worth it.
This is the most complete way to scout a draft class that I’ve found in this game:
2 scouts in: Russia, Liiga, SHL, US Central, WHL, OHL, QMJHL
1 scout in: DEL, NLA, Extraliga, US East, US West
Scout Player Type first
Sep 13 - Oct 1
Then Strengths and Weaknesses
Oct 1 - Nov 11
Skills Assessment
Nov 11 - Jan 25
Potential
Jan 25 - May 31
Dates can fluctuate a little bit, but those are rough guidelines. Prioritize a scouts overall before region efficiency, because that can increase. When scouting in regions with two scouts, use the first for the top group of prospects and use the second to continue with prospects after the first scouts group. You can also ignore prospects past the 300 ranking mark, I have rarely seen one get higher than low top 6/4 potential.

Holy fuck rent was due!!!

This intro??? Holyyyyy Johnny cooked

Not only that, but also add in the defence prospects from Russia. I believe they have a couple from the 2023 draft that are supposed to be good!!
Agreed 100%. I always just make Byran Little’s deal 15 million for 1 year.
Just download a community roster file. There are some pre good ones out there with all prospect for all 32 teams, but watching Johnny for the last 12/13 years he definitely ain’t restarting this gm mode, and summing the season all over again

Been following for 10+ years and being from Utah.. never thought this would happen. I’m here for it!
This kid from Utah grew up watching you in 14’, this was beautiful ❤
John as a coyotes fan for life please keep a Doan on the team, they’re the best type of players to have on your team. Good to see you back John!
I think competing will be the best option for year 1. No need to tank to get the first overall pick. Give the young guys a chance in year 1.
Agreed, we go full send year 1.
Lets pray that John keeps posting this GM Mode and doesn't leave it on a hiatus 🙏🏻
started watching around 2012 at the age of 11… crazy to think Ive gotten the privilege to experience the legendary prime of 2BC
The world starts healing itself when Johnny post GM modes
This guy does solid gm modes despite the low hockey knowledge. He still finds a way to bring out the good in franchise mode.
👍
WELCOME BACK DAD!!! “Going for it is exactly what this team should do”
Not calling them the "Utah Stormin Mormons" will be the greatest sin in hockey history.
Joseph Smith is rolling over in his grave in disgust.
Haha imagine if they actually named the team that lol
Utah City Soakers
Utah 9 wives 🤷
The joke names are just downright cringey at this point
Yawn
philadelphia in absolute shambles watching GM suberbman take over yet another brand new franchise before bringing the flyers back to greatness

YES
I think I get more hyped for a 2BC GM mode series than I do any real sport season
It feels like running into an old friend seeing Johnny upload. God does it feel good to be back watching these. The nostalgia!
absolute insanity how far you've come johnny. been a fan since tampa GM mode!
Is this real life?
Hell yeah! Ain’t no fantasy here!!
Really glad to have ya back Johnny
As a coyote fan, I can assure you that if history has taught us anything, no matter how bad the coyotes are, they will NOT get the overall number one pick. Edmonton cornered the market with that, no matter how much worse Arizona was than the Oilers.
That being said, go with the gradual build. 👍🏻
Multiversal Reports are that Ukraine Wayne led the Nashville Predators to 16 straight Stanley Cups and retired with a greater point total than 99
butthole wayne is like 3rd best player ever butt munch shawn thornton and bryon bitz are better players from the 1920s score 74 goals both of them in 20 games 3rdplace in the league also only had 9 goals
That intro was the best 2 minutes and 19 seconds of my life
Been watching you since early 2010’s my man. Glad ur back. I missed this. My old ass is now 26
johhny would punch u out
NHL 24 actually felt like it had some character with that epic intro
the game legit crashes so often its like a 1/5 chance i crash between periods while playing on xbox one in franchise mode been like this since i got the game 3 months ago and i tried reinstalling and updates arent a issue the game is just broken even has a simple bug from nhl 23 when editing lines sometimes it'll substitute players in the wrong line
It’s time for ASSkarov’s return to the superbman world
Asskarov and PanDemko is the only acceptable goalie tandem.
my glorious king has posted
Utah fans, if this plays out like Seattle, you’re definitely in good hands with GM Superbman
Who’s here for the next 10 episodes over the next 2 years?
Macceli is an absolute man beast. Ive been running 3 years now with the Utah Mammoth, this guy put the team on his back in the playoffs, offensively. I don't care how his ratings work out, he's getting a lifelong contract.
I have him on the second line because I ended up getting the number 1 pick year 1 and nabbed a nasty left winger.
We got steamrolled year 1 because EA saw fit to keep my squad injured all season. This game is ridiculous with injuries.
Yes, the return of Gm Mode!! I say try to build from what we have. Got to watch a lot of their games this year even though im east coast and they were exciting to watch. I think they really had something going.
Holy shit holy shit NEW VIDEOOOOO we love you johnny
Also the presentation and editing is insane we see the absolute work you put in to all of your videos
Gotta get a sound clip of Tony Shiavone say Yet-Tay!
John is the definition of quality over quantity. We might only get one or two appearances per year but man, no one does a GM mode like 2bc.
Rip anisimov fotinos lavallee
3:15 Dude said “first day on the jobbbbb” so zesty 😂
Looking forward to the series!!
That intro was incredible. So hype!
Johnny you gotta restart the save because all your contracts are inflated (Keller for example is making 7,15M irl while hes making 8.86M in the save), the game does this when teams dont reach the cap floor at the start of a save. To fix this give a random bottom 6 who has one year left 11M so your team is cap compliant.
and when the world needed him most…he returned 😏
Im enjoying this franchise knowing i will never see the ending
John you gotta retool on the fly. Find out which of the young guys play well and flip the ones who don't for picks while signing some vets to fill out a spot here or there and see where it goes
Logan Cooley can and will hit mid 90’s. I had a franchise with him on first line the whole time and he reached 93 low franchise at one point. Thats your cornerstone Johnny!
The team looks beautiful. Jerseys logo, Arena. It’s perfect. Can’t wait for this series. Only NHL 24 content I watch.
Doesnt matter if johnny is inconsistent, I love it everytime he posts
here after the finale, gotta rewatch the best gm mode series ever
Yes!!!! This series is back!! My favourite series on the whole of YT!!!! Welcome back Johnny, YA GOOF!!!! 😊
Flip a few of those picks for second line forwards, weaponize your cap space
The one and only !!! You truly are the best !
The stormin mormans
On May 5th, Utah did their first ever signing by giving the prospect Noel Nordh a 3 year entry-level deal. Just incase you want to be accurate with that.
Excited for a new series! Good luck with this one Johnny :D
Edit: holy shit the simulating for a realistic universe is actually beautiful 🥲
Nice video. See you all in mid-Juli for the release of the second episode.
Going to love this series, LETS GO YETIS!!
Keller, a first, a defensive or goaltending asset for marner. If u can get a pick or maybe liligren, do that
GM Superbman with assistant GM Maxim Anisimov lets go
Build around Cooley. Year 1 should be a trial year, no tanking, but no aggressive pushes for the playoffs, let the chips fall where they may. Figure out the chemistry and target trades to fill lines along Cooley/Guenther/Keller to fill out the Top 6
this is so surreal as a utah resident
Year one I think first line should be Gunther coolie and Keller, those guys are gonna grow fast
Utah Resident Checking in. Thank you for your service!
Intro is crazyyyy🔥
What an intro Johnny!
Keep it together and go for it, compete for the playoffs
LFG I freaking missed you Johnny
Utah Soakers would’ve been the funniest thing I’ve seen all year John
HES FINALLY RETURNED SO EXCITED TO SEE WHAT HE DOES WITH THIS TEAM 🎉
"I'm excited to have all these draft picks."
Foreshadowing, boys.
I hope they choose this name! It’s a dope name and they can make amazing merch and jerseys
Been hoping to see Johnny post more nhl 24, this should be fun
Go for the cup
Guenther - Cooley - Keller
will tear it up eventually especially with a + chemistry, the only gaping hole would be a franchise defensemen and an elite goalie, both can be addressed in future drafts/deadlines/free agency periods.
I don't know if I can survive another swift end to a great GM mode...
However, how long we wait for Johny to drop a fcking video, he always freaking deliver with a masterpiece... best franchise mode youtuber of any games hand's down. Always worth the wait, keep it up my man !
the bar is not that high everyone else is cringe especially stick on the ice
johnny i dont think u shld trade the #1 pick to SJS, if u claim your universe begins in mid-april you should be able to have ur own universe’s draft lottery!
I used to pray for times like this to grind like this
Missed you Johnny! Life ain’t the same without ur content
New Gm Mode - let's gooooo!
johnny you legend!!!!
My opinion...you've got the youth and possible potential to build around. Even if they don't work out as true superstars, they can always be plugged into 2nd/3rd line duty a few years down the road. Build around them, Make a push for the playoffs SOON, wisely utilize free agency, and use a lot of the picks to either bolster the team or trade for talent that will get you over the hump.
One of his best intros
Buddy, you're low-key my hero.
Cheers Johnny!
Nice video! See you in a few months Johnny!
John with your weak goalie prospect pool I think you should target drafting the highest ranked goalie prospects, especially since you have so many mid round picks.
Especially since his best goalie prospect Hrabal isn't in the game. And johnny didn't download any custom rosters.
Over under 4.5 episodes
Now THAT is an opening! Welcome back Johnny!
Trade your lower picks and your backup G if need be to get 2nd and 3rd rounders to fill out your roster. Stop-gap vets should hold you over. Don't be afraid to get a 20 y/o for the AHL to help the other draft picks.
Grab Misa from Mississauga Steelheads with the first pick. Guys a stud
Huge opportunity to go for it John love the idea
I knew Durzi growing up my cottage was next door to him in Wassaga Beach 😂
Whatever you do hold on to Conor Geekie, guy grows like crazy in this game is played in AHL for a couple seasons then brought up!
Bro did a better coyotes hype video than I r ever seen
he’s back
