Red PlaymOver Barrage tactic

[Saibot88]

Actually a was on standard, not tweaked.

Okay, thanks! New to EHM, so just tryin' to get as much/many tips and adviced I can get

Sounds great. What team are you?

Given up 6 goals in 2 games which isn't great but I've scored 11. McDavid has 6 points already so the tactic is working so far. Very fun although i too will tweak slightly to see if the goals against can be improved without sacrificing the offence.

Not a bad start, I've seen that it takes everything from 5-6 games to 30+ to get the team into the tactics and/or make some moves to find the right structure.

Maybe tell something about how much you had to do in terms of roster movements, and how good your players were compared to their opponents. Meaning, did you have players who were among the best in the league, or was it more of a tactical win.

Try some of these, unless you are only building through draft, but even then, most still apply.

Advice for your roster?

1. Find out what kind of "style" of hockey you want to play. If it's hard and you're new to the game? Just make some beta games and try different things to see what works for you in terms of style, what works within the league you play in & to get to know the game or the league you're in.

2. When building a team. Find out what you're core is! Or what you want as your core. Maybe you don't have those players right away, maybe it takes awhile to collect them through draft, free agent marked and trades.
My core?
- Top goaltender
- At least three high quality d-men
- Two best centers you can find for your top six forwards
- Two best wingers you can find for your top six forwards
- 4 pacy all-round wingers to build your middle six forwards
- All-round solid bottom six centers

Now it sounds like half your team, because it is! You can complement that with the rest of the players.

3. Don't be afraid to trade (a lot of) pieces to get the best man in the trade (or the 1st overall draft pick), or the best man in the position you are looking for!
Because in the end, it's about icing the best roster.

4. Don't be afraid to sign "too many" middle six forwards or defensemen for okay salaries (or top quality guys for that matter), give those you can a two-way deal and if you end up with plenty of players, you can always trade them away for picks, or bundle (with picks or prospects) for a better player in a bigger trade. That's how you gain back assets lost in trading for better players. Besides, with a winning team, we're not drafting high anyway.

5. Don't be afraid of sacrificing players down the road in trades. That's how the cap goes, at some point a top six-winger probably has to go. Or the 3rd-line center-man. However you sacrifice, it's sometimes rough, but it needs to be done to keep the rest of the core (although, if you are able to within reason and conscious for your long-term playing core, let the older guy walk as a UFA or by trade if it's more reasonable to keep a younger guy).

6. Always try avoiding giving No-trading clauses. It just gives you more wiggle room regardless.

7. Send scouts out early for an intensive period for the NHL Entry Draft. Hire as many as possible. Send them out again in January or so.

8. Don't blindly trust any of your scouts during the Entry draft. Sort the players by correct abilities and remember to look at the scouting reports. Always have players in all positions as prospects and in the AHL, but also remember in the draft to draft the best available player if needed.

9. I live by the rule of always fixing your offense first within the game. So, kind of the opposite of a lot of mindsets in real life. But, the goalie is always a top priority in addition to offense.

10. Don't get too frustrated while building your team! Remember, it takes pain to gain.

Also a question: Is it possible to coach a national team?

[Saibot88]

Can imagine.

Stars, five games.

Yes it sure is. But I don't, think it's boring

Nice going!

Haha, cool. Just think it could be fun to win the WC or Olympics. But yeah, will se if it gets my interest

Is it just me, or is it really difficult to keep a shoot-out? I know in hockey, that it does not happen so often again. But I only got like 1 shoot-out in like 20-22 games

But something I stumbled over was that I keep getting this fine for the last couple of months, and I have no idea what to do, to get it right so I was wondering if you know what I do wrong, and what I can do to fix it?
