Re: Red PlaymOver Barrage tactic
Another championship with my tactic. Lecavalier won 4-5 awards and thanked the GM on all of them(never actually seen that in the game). He loves to play 1st center!
Lecavalier 149 points, +76
Heatley 105 points, +57 (64 games)
J. Toews 100 points, +14 (77 games) *65 points and +21 in 39 games for me* - Acquired on a trade, 2.January 2014(this season)
Datsyuk 86 points, +18
63-15-4, 401-247
19,5% PP
82,9% PK
My team:
J. Toews - Lecavalier - Heatley
Picard - Datsyuk - Semin
Grabovsky - L. Toews - Cruz
Higgins - Fisher - Perreault/Campeau
Staal - Campbell
Stuart - Wilson
Kulyash - Kalinin
Miller
Ramö
The first and third line delivers. Even the fourth had it's periods with excellent play. Miller in the net ended with a 2.43 GAA and .916 sv%
Trying to trade Chris Higgins for Brent Burns now(traded Higgins and a prospect for Burns and a pick), and looks like I'm losing Picard. Traded for 1st overall and drafted 13 players in the draft.

Re: Red PlaymOver Barrage tactic
Just love this tactic! totally steamrolls the other teams if you got the players up front. One thing though, is it possible to have a checking line as third or fourth line. In most teams you have those players that just dont fit in this tactic, like a shutdown line. Or does the tactic fall apart'?

Re: Red PlaymOver Barrage tactic
It should be possible. You do the most damage with what you got upfront in the two scoring lines.Fredlig wrote:Just love this tactic! totally steamrolls the other teams if you got the players up front.

Tweaking abilities would be checking line and all-round defense. As in some games you let in a good amount of goals.
Good to see that it kicks ass!
I actually started to play again this week so.

Re: Red PlaymOver Barrage tactic
Oh yes. Back in the game.
Currently on a game, playing with different teams. I like the challenge of having several possibilities during a season.
Currently in the seventh season. I started out with two teams at the beginning. Detroit Red Wings and their farm team Grand Rapids Griffins. Now after 6 straight Cup's with Detroit, and the work of adding several teams along the way.
My St. Louis Blues dethroned Detroit in the WCF with 4-1 in games, and ultimately got the SC-win after beating the Philadelphia Flyers in the final. A team I also managed.
My main plan for the season that was, was to get Detroit and Boston(a team I also manage) in the final, neither made it. Shockingly enough the Blues and Flyers knocked them out during the Playoffs. I also manage Nashville by the way.
Eastern:
Boston Bruins 1st : 58-20-4, 396-279 = 120 points
Philadelphia Flyers 5th : 49-30-3, 362-300 = 101 points
Western:
Detroit Red Wings 1st : 57-20-5, 413-269 = 119 points
St.Louis Blues 4th : 53-20-9, 386-301 = 115 points
Nashville Predators 6th : 46-33-3, 333-309 = 95 points
Now, what I wanted to talk about regarding the tactics, was that obviously it still works
But also.
It kind of re-assured the main idea with it when it comes to the idea with strong centers and pacy skilled wingers. I figure that's why St. Louis Blues won it.
St. Louis Blues lineup:
Kovalchuk - Berglund - Schroeder
Hultgren - Oshie - Parenteau
Lalonde - Bailey - Isabel
Hamr - Steen - Nazarov
I.Cole - Phaneuf
M.Lashoff - Pietrangelo
Despres - Gormley
Halak
Montoya
By no means an all-star team. Solid first goaltender. No question. Even though as a team, there are still too many goals against. The defence has two prime d-men in Phaneuf and Pietrangelo, but Cole and Lashoff ain't bad. Quality top four d-men. As earlier explained in thread, that's what's needed. A solid group of pairs. Look try out with your top guys as the first pair, if they play different positions, or spread them out. But focus on having the best guy on the first pair.
Offensively we got a centerline with very good to-way forwards, though Steen playing 3rd line RW when the cup was won.
Obviously Kovalchuk is the star, but Jordan Schroeder adds sneakiness that line needed.
TJ. Oshie a second line star. Makes trouble for everyone, and can shut down everyone. He's got two young drafted pacy wingers in Herman Hultgren and Dmitry Parenteau. Hultgreen at 20, the smaller one at 5-9, and Parenteau at 21 a litte bit bigger with his 6-1, but also with a lot of pace. Oshie has really taken advantage of it.
Joshua Bailey on the third line, another in your face type of player in the game. Paired up with the 23 year old drafted and 5-8 small Cristophe Lalonde(of course with pace and technique) and newly added this season, 19 year old Jean Isabel at 6-1 who complete this line for the season. Last season Alexander Steen(who now center 4th line), played on the wing there.
Steen in the middle of the 4th as said. He's got Adam Hamr at 6-1 on his left. A 20-year old winger, and Stanislav Nazarov at 6-1 on his right. He's 21. Both drafted. Both with pace and skill.
What I'm saying to new people who want to try it.
Top goaltender needed
Solid group of d-men
Solid center-men
Pacy wingers with technical skills
Build your team from the top-lines and down.
Try the best guys at the best lines, but be aware of the possibility to spread it out a little bit.
Always get your best guys into the top offensive line.
Your third and fourth line can be a little more all-round built when it comes to skill-set.
Use line-matching if needed, some on and off.
Don't be afraid to overpay if you are after either top quality pieces or top first round draft picks.
Started the title-defense season with 15-5-4. 110-85 and currently in 4th position.
I could write a similar thing about Nashville, they are built the same way. Just haven't found quite found the stability there yet.

Well. Either a tactic that fits the skills the players you already got, or a tactic you want to play, and go out and get players that fit that tactic.MKoivuFan wrote:looking for a tactic set for a whl quad... what do i look for when choosing tactics

Had Kovalchuk get 101 goals and 179 points in my last season with the Red Wings using this tactic. Thornton was his center, who had 167 points in 72 games that season. Had Zetterberg on wing who put up 134 points. Won our first cup that season with Nittymaki from the Default DB in goal.

Re: Red PlaymOver Barrage tactic
Happy to say that this is still a nice tactic to use in EHM: EA
I've modified a little, but the shots premise is still the same. It works, but you do need a decent offensive defenseman and a decent goalie to ensure that you don't get scored on a ton

Re: Red PlaymOver Barrage tactic
This tactic is great, I score over 350 goals each season, and that's more than enough to cover up the sloppy defense. Everyone likes a 8-5 better than 2-1 anyway, right?

Re: Red PlaymOver Barrage tactic
These high scoring results were realistic over 20 years ago. I personally like watching high scoring games, but I prefer to see EHM more realistic.

Re: Red PlaymOver Barrage tactic
For the people wondering, the tactic works nearly as good as it did in the old EHM. The defense is shoddier, but the offensive side is still ridiculously potent and you'll outscore most teams and consistently outperform even if your team isn't up to snuff. It turns an (below-)average team into a playoff team, it turns a playoff team into a contender, it'll turn a contender into a near surefire champion for the next 5 years...
