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.)

Does Madden force its users to Punt on every time 2nd down if you play with Raiders in franchise mode? Or do they let the consumer choose the plays? Fix the strategies in franchise, this isn’t very hard
Just an FYI to everybody.
They claimed in the patch notes that’s they “fixed” the strategies updating when firing and hiring a new coach.
They have not. I tested multiple times last night and you are still stuck with your default coaches strategies when hiring a new coach.
I guess you can just say something is “fixed” nowadays and that’s good enough
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 Like so many have said… this is why it’s important to unlock strategies for us so we can edit them… also it would be good if the bug was ACTUALLY fixed..
if we aren’t the coach, so we shouldn’t edit strategies, how come we are allowed to edit lines? That’s the coaches job, and like you said before, we aren’t the coach
Also like other have said… coaches are adaptable.. they tweak their strategies based on team performance.. team composition.. the players they have, etc.
Why do we hard-lock ourselves to one single strategy scheme for the entire duration of that coaches career with us? That’s not how teams are built…
This, along with the ability to edit players, is so important… especially when things are always broken and not working properly anyways…

Surprise surprise lol.. this is brutal…
wonder what the chances are of it getting fixed for the mid November update
Another problem is the hiring system of nhl.
The date at wich you can hire coach is not that clear in the game.
Then, you can ask 3 questions to a coach and then, you have to guest if your contending level, market, salary and fanbase fit with is preference, make an offer, pass 3 or 4 day and when he refuse, 2 or 3 other coach that you may want top have for your team sign with other team and sudently, no good coach are avalaible.
That mini game make coach signing almost like a lucky guest...that had to much impact now on your team for such system. The futur of you entire season and fun as player depend on a mini game that don't give you a lot of option and that don't make that mnuch on a sense.
It was ok before because you could almost ignore it if you din't like it, but now, that mini think who don't work to well is one of the most important think in your franchise and if your owner don't give you the right budget and you don't guest the coach expectation, your done.
You could replace all this with a "roll your random team strategy" button and it would be almost the same. No sense at all.

@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!
