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.)

Not a bug. It’s always been that way since they introduced coaching staffs a few years ago. The strategies never change to the new coach.
the old work around was you had to go into the coach profile, write down their preferences, and change them yourself in the strategies menu.
you can’t do that now
- @EA_Aljo And honestly that isn’t great.
Yet why in game you can change it when you use your pad ? Or does that do nothing.
Honestly I used it a lot in previous versions. It doesn’t matter that you’re just a GM. **Everything should be customizable** - @EA_Aljo

By that logic we shouldn't be able to edit lines or control the players in game while playing franchise mode then...
I understand this isn't your doing, but this is incredibly disappointing to hear. Being able to edit strategies allows users to cater the AI to their play style and removing the ability to edit them will be unnecessarily frustrating for those who tweak them regularly. Hopefully this change will be reverted. So why even fire a coach? Why even take over GM finances instead of CPU. So in franchise mode as GM all I can do is manage the roster. So much for immersion. Rather sounds like an excuse for doing less. The 2012 release was better than this one. This game used to be fun, it's torched. EA has ruined sport sims for years to come.
If you look everything that you can customize in nhl, you can be league commisioner, team owner, jersey designer, arena achitech, gm, player,arena manager, music dj
But you can't change strategy because your not coach.
But you can decide lineup and icetime because your coacch is passing too much time deciding strategy,
So I’ve found that you can edit team strats inside of edit lines. But I believe what ever you set the coach just disregards it anyways.
honestly my strat setups are better than what the coach makes.
- I don’t mind not being able to edit coaches strategies but if teams are stuck with the same strategies no matter who the coach is, that’s just ridiculous.
The "you're not the head coach" excuse makes absolutely no sense. We're not the players either, yet we can still control them and play in-game.
It's just a badly implemented idea, from the start. I get that EA wants the coaches we hire to influence the game. But removing the ability to set our own strategy isn't the way to go. It never was. Coaches should have ratings, just like players, where they are better in certain scheme, not so good in others. That would make a lot more sense than forcing us to play a system we don't like.
- @Andochiefs May I ask how?
