Team averaging 5+ goals per game

Post by Weasel »

Howdy folks; So playing along in the 2029 season and the regular season begins; my team is almost exactly the same as the year before with the addition of a depth player or two. Season starts and I win both games 9-3 and 6-2. I then remember my boys are still resting from training camp so I set them to light practice since they are still not in game shape and my scores drop to 2-1 and 4-3. Hmmm, says I, I put my team back to resting practice and since then I have not scored less than 5 goals per game while giving up an average of 1.92. My average is 5.18 GPG, and a PP of 33%, and this is with the coach running the lines but using my tactics, the exact same tactics I ran last year that helped me claim my 9th Stanley Cup in 14 years. My record for the season is now 12-0.

So, is this a bug or a coincidence? Is my team just firing on all cylinders right now or should it be reported as a bug?

I didn't respond because I don't really actually know what to say to you! :D

I thought others would maybe give their thoughts but it seems not.

I really never tried putting my players to rest in the season so I can speak about that. In the 9 years I've been playing EHM I always put my players with a practice schedule. It probably helps them but also, the team chemistry is important. Sometimes a group of player will play average together and others will put up amazing performances together. Even just switching one player to another line can make the difference. So maybe you simply have the right combo in your hands.

I know I didn't really answered your question but IMO it's not a bug judging by how the game works sometimes.

Posting it at SI and uploading a save would be the helpful (and if it is a bug, and you upload a save, I think Riz will fix it) https://community.sigames.com/forum/292 ... ugs-forum/

P.S. There is no EHM folder for uploading saves, you use the FM folder https://community.sigames.com/topic/345275-ftp-details/

Record is now 44-7-1. Date is Feb 1, for the month of Jan I put everyone to light practice with no effect it seems, and even without them practicing their attributes were increasing just from regular play.

GPG is 4.7 while GAA is 2, so things are changing a bit.

I don't think this is a bug, but I was just wondering if anyone had found or experienced anything like this. That is why I posted here before chasing the developer who probably has more than enough on his plate.
