I am playing Franchise mode on nhl 19 with the Edmonton Oilers. I am playing full sim setting and with morale off. The reason i decided to turn morale off was because i was expecting the AI teams to not handle the cap very well and their star players leaving in FA because of it. This is something that has plagued the nhl series for years. So what i am going to do and have done is sign those star players and trade them back to original team. Who sometimes have the cap space but don`t sign the player because of "rebuilding" tag in the off-season. I am not including FA that wants away from a club. I am now at 2022 and i have signed Gaudreau to 7 year deal and traded him back to Calgary for a 7th rounder. I have done 3 more this type signing and trading this off-season. The busiest off-season so far in that regard.
My team has reached the cup finals 3 times in a row. I have won 1 cup. I only sim. I have had strong regular seasons with 100,110,110 points. PP 24% PK 89%. GFA 3.15 GAA 2.00
This year is like a disaster has struck the team. I`m sitting at 32% win prc. with 2.09 GF and 3.79 GAA. PP 4.18% and PK 70% in 20 desember 2022. The 3rd worst team in nhl.
The only off season change in the team is Yamamoto 84 ovr and Koskinen 82 ovr. The players that have come in for them is Yaroslav Askarov 83 ovr and Dylan Cozens 82 ovr.
Here is the team i am now playing with:
Kovalchuck 84 - McDavid 96 - Puljujarvi 87
Panarin 91 - Draisatl 92 - Nugent Hopkins 88
Martinook 79 - McLeod 83 - Cozens 82
Benson 79 - Khaira 79 - Kassian 78
Nurse 84 - Karlsson 95
Klefbom 86 - Larsson 85
Olofsson 80-Bouchard 84
Skinner 82
Askarov 83
My question to all of you is have you experienced something similar? I know in seasons past the nhl series has been a crapshoot regarding sim results. But my experience with nhl 19 is that they have fixed that and the best teams on paper is the best teams in the playoffs. When i see other team in the sim that seems to be the case. Is the reason for collaps on my team the off-season sign and trades even though i have turned morale off or is it something else. I would like to hear your input.
