Strategies in NHL 23
Are they going to fix strategies in the game so we can go back and edited them like we did in previous games? (picture I’ve provided.)

Community ManagerThe reasoning behind this is that you're not playing the rule of the coach so it's up to the coach to handle strategies.
The role of the GM is to make sure everything is running smoothly. If the GM want's the team to try a different strategy then he would talk to the coach. The fact that when you draft a new player and want to play him, the coach will talk to you about what you should do an you can over ride his decision speaks to the fact that EA did in fact want us to make decisions like this. I would like a concrete reason to why this was removed as I have been playing NHL games all my life. There is no reason for this feature to have been removed. What does EA have against players playing the game the way they want to?
EA is trying to create a narative in wich the removal of feature is intentional, logical and are a creative decision instead of saying that they broke the game.
Strategy is not in the game because it must conflict with something else.
- @Aralkar For sure, 100%… I don’t believe EA Aljo’s claim that “we’re not the coach so we don’t set the strategies” it literally makes no sense because we set the lineups, we set hot dog prices, we upgrade bathrooms, etc those are all not GM responsibilities….
Something is broken, and they can’t fix it so instead they just remove features because they’re brokenI suspect that the addition of the 1-3-1 and powerplay roles is what was causing a conflict and why they removed the ability to edit strategies.
Don’t get me wrong, I am stoked they FINALLy added a new and modern strategy, as well as the ability to dictate rolls on the power play.
But I really hope they figure out a way to make it so that we can edit strategy’s with these new tactics in the future. I also wouldn’t mind if they continue to add more modern tactics in the future
