Database is being completely rebalanced, expect a much different experience for 2023-24. More details to come later in the summer.
After all the editing I’ve done, the anticipation is already killing me, and you haven’t even been able to add Keith Jones to the database yet.Database is being completely rebalanced, expect a much different experience for 2023-24. More details to come later in the summer.
oh I added him immediatelyAfter all the editing I’ve done, the anticipation is already killing me, and you haven’t even been able to add Keith Jones to the database yet.
I’ve been told Ilya Bryzgalov is trying to be a goalie coach too, just sayin’oh I added him immediately
What’s Keith Primeau up to?I’ve been told Ilya Bryzgalov is trying to be a goalie coach too, just sayin’
I was thinking about that earlier considering our POHO position, because ex-Flyers. Think he owns a deli chain. Still lives in south jerseyWhat’s Keith Primeau up to?
Biggest single season point drop ever seen?
Nice, glad you are having fun doing your own NHL alignment!I don't have one "quite" this drastic, but at the same time I feel it is JUST as drastic, but on a smaller scale? lol
I am running NHL X with Atlanta replaced with Hamilton, (and the Swarm moved to Saskatoon lol)
I am running Hamilton, and have Max Domi as my first line center... things haven't been great, as I've been signing players to one and two year contracts, pumping their value and dumping them at the deadline for 1sts: (I just recently traded Timo Meier to the Stars for their next FOUR firsts, and they didn't re-sign him, so I grabbed him back in the offseason, and they also didn't win the cup)
anyways Domi typically floats around the 35-40 point range (I know, really low for a 1c, but we are BAD BAD)
this year, after bringing back Meier, I also signed Laine as the other winger.
as of the deadline, Timo Meier has 13-21-34, and Laine has 24-12-36 (I don't really know how they are managing to score so low in 60 games, my coaches are decent and all of them have an attacking style)
anyways, I have checked, and not only does Domi play with them, but he has the third most TOI among forwards on the team, and most for centers at 18:00 per game.
He currently has 5 assists across 51 games... as the 1c between Timo Meier and Patrik Laine.
3rd in TOI among forwards
14th in G
12th in A
14th in Pts.
what the heck?
Hah, I feel you. I had a similar thing happen TWICE in a SCF deciding game. Beyond infuriating.

You can upload the save here: Eastside Hockey Manager Bugs ForumI found more tom-foolery by the game!!!
I call this one: "Filip Forsberg hits the post in NHL Stanley Cup Final... or DOES he!?"

Notice the location of the puck, the shadow of the puck... and Forsberg, #12 in teal.
View attachment 707140
Now notice the puck has fallen behind/beside the net, and yet at the bottom there it says "Filip Forsberg finds the net !!!"
He was awarded with a goal without actually scoring one: here's further proof, (note the time)

@bashbros32 what is your resolution / screen setup? Looks like the “non” zoomed center ice and adds aren’t sized properly. I’m gonna fix that.
Boy he must have really destroyed that groin!this is uhh... an interesting retirement! View attachment 708380
For context, this player is 26... was drafted 3rd overall in 2025... has played every year since then, missing a grand total of... 36 games over his 9 year, 700+ game NHL career. Thats an average of 4 ish games a year? I don't have auto save enabled so I can't go back a month and look at how many games he missed this season... but I don't think it was any? I've just never seen a prime player (he was my number 2 D-man legit from the day we drafted him) retire so young off of a "ten day" injury.

I wonder if the Pivot rosters have made the Coyotes a little TOO bad for 2022-23? I know they moved Chychrun but... I took them on for a real challenge and here is how my 22-23 season is going so far...
The game still sims high level performance for the majority of players way too late into their careers. Even if their attributes start to deteriorate. I think it is because the sim engine has players continually accruing reputation that sees the GM/coach AI play and value old players way too much even if there are younger players in the system with better ratings and attributes.Jumping in because I've challenged myself to win with a "physical", "defensive" team only and I'm finding a few things I never experienced before.
First is that... holy crap I dont touch line making and its just so difficult to win with a bunch of power forward and "physical" anything. Yikes.
Second, a lot of these guys take foreeeever to develop. Ive seen some power forward leave my team at 28 bevause I lost hope and then 4 seasons later I see them as 80 pts forwards with near perfect attributes.
I usually stick to all around, finesse players etc. And they tend to develop much earlier!! It makes it so difficult to know who to keep or not because you never know whos just gonna explore in their thirties lol
Anyone else faced these weird developmental curve so late in a player's career?
