Strategies in NHL 23

You should unlock strategy choice for some very good reason.

1-It may look logical in theory but in reality, since the AI is not that inteligent, depending of the slider a player use, some strategy are simply not execute properly by the cpu player. The CPU player are not moving and placing themself like they realy should. Often, as player, we don't choose the BEST strategy avalable for our player, but we choose a strategy that help our CPU player to not look so bad. 

2-Real coach strategy are often base on the capacity of their player and depend of the team they have. A real coach would adapt is strategy depending of the group of player he have. In nhl 23, coach have strategy that they use watever group of player they have. A real coach strategy will evolve with is group. 

3-We are limited to change coach because the team finance in nhl 23 is not perfect and money allowed to coaching staff is often not enough to hire good coach, so before forcing player to have to choose the coach they want depending on their strategy, you should upgrade the way we can hire coach. It's very dificult to do anything in the nhl serie if you don't have budget left.

In reality, team often find money to hire good coaching staff when they are avaible, a think that is not present in nhl. In real life, you don't choose a coach by beeing forced to ask him ONLY 3 questions. 

The way we hire coach and scout is a 3 or 4 year old system that have not been touch for some time ans should have been revamp and tweak a little. 

To force strategy usage by coach, you should upgrade the way we can talk, negociate and sign staff.

@EA_Aljo Yessir, I have tried that, and also tried turning staff to Auto and let the computer hire my coaches.

Did you happen to hire a coach with a similar strategy template? So far, we haven't been able to reproduce this so any additional details you may have would be really helpful. Thanks!
