EHM The Blue Line

Sorry if this isnt the right spot to put this, ran a search but couldnt find my answer


I have the latest TBL rosters, I like to let the head coach take control of practice (but ive always ran a bunch of rest days, tried a bunch of things)
I never over play my players, i try and keep my d men around 20 mins a night, if you are 1st pairing and power play, no pk time stuff like that.

Ive had 0 issues year 1-4 , suddenly In my 5th season , my defenders condition started to go down to 60-80% after every game, regardless of ice time, rest days, time inbetween games. I tried to have a easy preseason, still same issue 6th season

Morgan riley who is only 26, and had seasons of 7.7 and 60 point seasons turn into 6.3 and 13 points
trouba 50 point seasons, into 14. Requesting coaching reports they say they will struggle to hold a roster spot. Basically All my d suck now and are tired.

Any suggestions


another think i noticed is i like to have my coach coach games, dont use current tactics, but use my lines. It seems in season 5 it starts not using my lines and guys getting up towards 28 mins some nights . Also guys with no power play time are getting alot of power play time even without any misconducts or penalties to other players

Not sure with the first issue you mention, but have you checked that your GM Options haven't somehow reset? That you're still at No / Yes / Yes with the use currents-deal? Not that I've seen that happen either, but you never know, I suppose.

Ive checked, played around with it too.
When i put my backup in it changes that, I just see some weird pairings when scoring, and looking back at the ice time of it all .

I see, yup. I don't know what could be the problem. Maybe the head coach doesn't feel the current selection / lineup is "possible"? That's the wording used in the GM options at least. "Use current such and such when possible".

As for the drop in condition, I remember that bug being reported during Early Access, but not in a while. I'm assuming you're using the fully patched version of the game (1.0.2)? And might be, if you've started your game before the patch came out, that a new game start would needed for it to work fully.

Something similar happened to me. I think around the 2018-19 season every few weeks some of my players become "Tired" with their conditions falling to around 60% and I have to set their practice schedule to "Resting" for a week or two to get their condition back up. Not sure why it took a few years into the game for this to start occuring, but overall its not all that annoying.

i couldnt fix it , so i just started a new game, just something i do to waste time anyways. Just annoying how i go from a top 4 with everyone over 40 points and higher that 7.5... then next year nothing has changed and my highest d was a 6.8 over an entire year. Burns the oldest at 35

if anything trouba and riley should have got better not fallen off a cliff
