Gotta go back to 19 or 20 if you're playing BaP, those ones are at least decent while still having somewhat accurate rosters and cool dekes/skill stick stuff.
@@VaxilionAlso 20 is the last game where when you get injured it actually tells you how long you're out for. In the new games it just says "injured" so you have to sim until it doesn't. Actually pathetic
Johnny your 4th line is actually starting for your AHL team, go to edit strategies when you're in the edit lines screen and you can select what line you want to start games. You have the 4th line selected to be the starting lineup for the games. I don't think it affects the ice time that much but the chat wasn't trolling.
37:20 The twitch chat was right. The yellow circle on the left by the line number indicates the starting line and the 4th line was circled so they're starting every game.
I think acquire a better bottom pairing d man. Move out some younger players that wont crack the top 9 anytime soon for some draft picks. Move Kurtz down to the second line, he'll preform better I think if you shelter him a bit more. My personal change to the lines would be something like. And run that for a few weeks in simulation and see how the team changes. 1: Vesce - Cooley - Kurri 2: Maccelli - Doan - Laine 3: Guenther - Kerfoot - Nabokov 4: Marchand - Gregor - Joshua 1d: Werenski - Chychrun 2d: Kurtz - Lindstein 3d: TRADE PIECE - Kesselring I'd say move Kurtz down because the game sees Werenski as the better player offensively and defensively. So the AI just factors him into the simulation more than it would for Kurtz. And it could hinder his progression. Cuz to be brutally honest, he's only an 82 with no x factors in his D+3 year? When he started as a 78... +4 overall in his 3rd season. (So he's had 2 off seasons) He should be 84 by now, And not going to lie, Guenther is probably going to remain capped at an 85/86 player. Which I said in like episode 2. Trade him while his value is high, acquire draft picks or picks and a 3rd liner center of the future. You need someone young that also takes faceoffs. None of your younger centers are good on the draws.
Couple suggestions: (Like so he sees) 1. Check the PK stats for your assistant coach. The assistant coach is responsible for the PK and the better the PK grade is for the assistant the better the PK will simulate 2. We need someone for depth goal scoring on the 3rd line instead of Kerfoot. Someone who can score but also has the ability to help the PK. 3. We need a 6th Defenseman between 80-83 overall that works on the PK and Powerplay
I love the addition of the one period of gameplay in the first preseason game. It's fun, hilarious, and a nice little change of pace. I say do it once at the beginning of every season!
The trade you did for Lindstein is exactly what you have to keep doing because we don’t have any first round picks to blow it up. Step by step keep adding to this team & it’s going on deep cup runs
And a rookie that trade was terrible! here have a goalie that won’t make it have a 4th line guy a older defender that’s not gonna grow and a 5th for a guy that went in first round few years ago if he gave them a first a second and a third with it it would be more fair his fault he don’t have all his picks
@@blainehallmark2002 a 22 year old defender drafted in first round did ok on crappy team and is already hit his potential so any growth from now on is just bonus and look at St. Louis they are sellers they want draft picks only reason they would want moser was to put him beside their top defender not trade him away for him. Plus if St. Louis held on to him and didn’t sign him they would get a 1st 2nd and 3rd atleast in compensation.
@@christianmason2033 now explain to me why they would not sign theo? they have 20m in cap space and have trash defense contracts coming off the books within the next couple of years. The trade that went through makes no sense for the blues but if it was 1st, 2nd, 3rd round pick I want someone at least with some x-factors... which Theo doesnt have.
I’d like to see you swap Guenther and Macceli just for a month or 2 to see if anything improves. I still believe Guenther can hit 88+ ovr with some good statistical seasons. If you put Macceli on the second pp that’s fine, but don’t neglect what Guenther has done 5v5 thus far. Reward him. I also think you should call up Karpotsev now that he’s NHL ready and listed as a 4th liner.
Screwing around in preseason is a GREAT way of creating cool storylines for the season.. there should be a whole episode nest season of preseason play to establish lore for the upcoming season.. also fun to watch Johnny actually play lol
It's worth looking into your Assistant and associate Coaches, you might want to get guys who could have higher ratings for the Penalty kill, and powerplay. I imagine, if your current guy only has like a C, or even B, the penalty kill should improve, and the powerplay could get even better.
Hey johnny I would consider moving guenther on the first line instead of maccelli .. The hitting of guenther and his passing skills will give more opportunity for vesce to score. I would give more PK minutes to marchand .Give him more minutes , he simulate so well ... will improve the PK I would have my D-core like this (chycrun - kurtz ..... lindstein - werenski)... It would give more opportunity to score to werenski and put chycrun in a better defensive position. Finally, need to upgrade that 3rd pair ... Cup contender team would often get a really good d-men to put on their 3rd pair. Love the content , You missed the fact that the last playoff , 6 of the 7 canadian teams made the playoff (not ottawa) That's insane !!
I’ve seen players grow different gold x-factors in games before so there is hope that Cooley’s spin-o-rama could change as long as he keeps producing. I figure once that happens, you’ll see Vesce’s numbers spike.
Hey Johnny, loving the series so far! I think a key issue right now is that your first line are all minuses. Perhaps the PLY-PLY-PWF combo is leaving the defense lacking right now. Kurri might be a good fit on the 1st line, but you mentioned targeting an 85-86 OVR forward for your 3rd line C - why not target an 85-86 OVR TWF LW to slot in instead of Maccelli, if the chemistry works?
Honestly the whole chemistry system has always seemed hit and miss for me so seeing Johnny take us through the lindstein trade with chemistry in mind is cool. Makes things actually make sense
How does johnny do it when he can control startegies when he goes into a game to watch it? What do you have to change in settings if you want to be able to change lines and tactics while in a live game?
More gameplay where you play yourself for sure, could easily play some non-important games during the season too. Also, Brandsegg-Nygård is Norwegian, it's pretty common to give your child both surnames there.
Come playoffs you can maybe change starting Line up to maybe the 3rd or 4 Line too shut down the other team and the time your 1 and 2 line is on it’s against the other team 3rd and 4 line giving them a easier matchup
If your trying to win this year trade for Drew Doughty. You just saw the Capitals win with all the old players. You need more poise on the Blue Line. He can be on the 3rd pairing and do PK with his X factors. Retain half and rent his experience for a year! It’s what Utah needs to get over the edge. A bunch of unproven low poise players, Drew will come back to old self come playoff time!! Bula John
Johnny your not going to like this but you should think about getting a new 1st line LW because your first line is permanently negative, even just to try for a month or 2 seems worth it as I could be a negative factor for growth
Look I dont play nhl so what do I know? But when you were looking at your AHL lines the 4th line was highlighted as if it was significant..... Think you might actually be starting your 4th line.
As a stars fan I’m mad for st Louis they would never make that trade young 22 year old 84 overall drafted in first round was -35 22 points in rookie year is ok being on a crappy team absolutely fleeced St. Louis
That preseason gameplay was hilarious. 😂 Made me hungry for a BaP series, but then I remembered how god awful it is. Thanks a lot EA.
I was losing it at Kurtzs shot almost killing Laine lol
“What we could really use right now is another goal.”
Gotta go back to 19 or 20 if you're playing BaP, those ones are at least decent while still having somewhat accurate rosters and cool dekes/skill stick stuff.

The twitch chat was right. The yellow circle on the left by the line number indicates the starting line and the 4th line was circled so they're starting every game.
i was cracking up when i saw that. he definitely doesn't even know he has control over that.
I think acquire a better bottom pairing d man.
Move out some younger players that wont crack the top 9 anytime soon for some draft picks.

the goalie fight had me rolling. Swayman truly can do it all
At this point I am convinced a fan abducted johnny and forces him to play GM modes every day....
"I'm not paying a 3rd line defensman $4.9m"
Also: *pays Marchand $6m+ on the 4th line*
Its a 1 yr contract for Marchand, the 3rd line defenseman had like 3 yrs at 4.9M
Twitch chat - you're starting your 4th line (correct).
Johnny - takes 2 seconds, doesn't know what to do, F it.
Classic.
The trade you did for Lindstein is exactly what you have to keep doing because we don’t have any first round picks to blow it up. Step by step keep adding to this team & it’s going on deep cup runs
That trade was cheese though, Lindstein was -30 because they're a rebuilding team

On the pp and pk you can choose who you want to take the face offs so you can put let’s say vesce in the Center spot but make Cooley take the faceoff
« We got fulton reed on our team » 🤣🤣🤣

Need to put Vesce in front of the net. He'll get more goals
can we get more preseason Johnny shenanigans it reminds me of THE GOAT GENERAL ZOD!!
Loved the preseason highlights would be awesome to see something like that once an episode or so
Still think Johnny messed up on that 2 probably 79-82 overall d man for a 5th and a 7th.
Chel has goalie fights? That was awesome. I miss General Zod.
We need more gameplay like that, shit was funny asf 🤣
24:02 wow congrats to Krebs for playing his first game with the Sabres!
What do u mean?
@@Mazkawaa the "hockey analyst" said it was his first game lmao
@@ClipsThatTakeUpStorageOnMyXbox Oh wtf haha
Why do i all of a sudden have constant flashbacks about a fan made video about the legend of raimo tarkki now?😂
Doan and Laine are perfect players for each other
Imagine you're a top prospect and MISTER GM SUPERBMAN pick you and make you a 89 overall
Im getting Perky Nips flashbacks seeing the name Theo 😂
It looks they are high on goalie prospects “wink wink” is rockstar quote
Easy way to pronounce Fehervary: Fer-eh-var-re. As a caps fan it took a little into his first season to get it down.
Hey johnny I would consider moving guenther on the first line instead of maccelli .. The hitting of guenther and his passing skills will give more opportunity for vesce to score.

With 4 months left in the sim, im betting theres another 7 concussions in the AHL
No they were working their way up the lineup, it’s the big clubs turn…
Someone needs to make the Kurtz, Happy Gilmore fan art.
I’ve seen players grow different gold x-factors in games before so there is hope that Cooley’s spin-o-rama could change as long as he keeps producing. I figure once that happens, you’ll see Vesce’s numbers spike.

I’ve always wondered what the pinch cycle etc. stats mean. What does that do?
More gameplay where you play yourself for sure, could easily play some non-important games during the season too.

hey love this series john reminds me of the old Coyotes franchise
That Lindstein trade was such a reach lmfao.
I still don’t know how to do the jersey em fight shit and I’m like deep into being an ea nhl player hahaha
Ryan smith is considering the yetis for the name of the team fyi
We need gameplay at least once a season that was gold hahah
I think trading for Lindell (salary retained) would be smart, he fits the third line and would be a great killer
I don't mind seeing you play pre-season games like that since pre-season doesn't matter
Come playoffs you can maybe change starting Line up to maybe the 3rd or 4 Line too shut down the other team and the time your 1 and 2 line is on it’s against the other team 3rd and 4 line giving them a easier matchup
Why isn't Marchand on the pk?
THIS IS FOR 2024 IN AN ALTERNATE REALITY! 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Why are you playing a defensemen as your 4th line center in the ahl
I hate how johnny keep calling Miku when it's Miko
Am i the only who prefered the much less edited jump ins he used to do?
Can anyone confirm if chemistry even helps calendar simming or real time simming?
I think we should move Kurtz down to the second line.
If your trying to win this year trade for Drew Doughty.
You just saw the Capitals win with all the old players. You need more poise on the Blue Line. He can be on the 3rd pairing and do PK with his X factors. Retain half and rent his experience for a year! It’s what Utah needs to get over the edge.
A bunch of unproven low poise players, Drew will come back to old self come playoff time!!
Bula John
who’s here from twitch just to see the montage?
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
How much we “had” to give up for the first overall pick a couple years ago
You didn’t have to give up all that for that pick you chose to
Johnny, it's pronounced lind-schtein with the german tyep sch sound
how do you play as only one person in the game like that? i thought it was only be a pro
FOR DRAFT : IF POSSIBLE GET THE PIKKARAINEN TWINS FROM FINLAND!
Johnny your not going to like this but you should think about getting a new 1st line LW because your first line is permanently negative, even just to try for a month or 2 seems worth it as I could be a negative factor for growth
Please jump in and play more that was great😂
Look I dont play nhl so what do I know? But when you were looking at your AHL lines the 4th line was highlighted as if it was significant.....
Think you might actually be starting your 4th line.
Check take aways and giveaways thatll give you a hint on who the problem is on each line
Try Gunther on the first line
Why not rotate Laine and Vesce for a bit give Vesce some sheltered minutes, maybe it’ll allow him more space to score like you want
More highlights!
As a stars fan I’m mad for st Louis they would never make that trade young 22 year old 84 overall drafted in first round was -35 22 points in rookie year is ok being on a crappy team absolutely fleeced St. Louis
BANG
2nd line really outperform 1st
Fr laine is playing like it’s his first 2 years as a jet again
Let’s goooo
Y can’t Johnny learn guys names where tf does he get Jeremy moser
U fleeced the st-louis blues, so unrealistic
The whole first line is a minus John
Can I get a thank you phill!!!!!
Bros been saying "Jeremy" all series. John, it's "Jerome"... Show some respect to your players, jeez.
Bring up karpovtsev
That stl trade was so dumb, so unrealistic
Keep Kesselring just cuz of the Kessel name
First Johnny!
