Horrible Line Changes in BAP
I really wanted to post this on the NHL 27 page because I doubt this page gets much traffic anymore. This is probably a problem that persists in ‘27 and I just want to vent.
One of the more maddening aspects of BAP, and it has been for years, is the awful execution when employing the “sim to next shift” feature. I’m in my rookie year as a d-man for the Flyers. It’s challenging enough because of the form score element and its overemphasis on point production. But I have been holding my own with solid defensive numbers and the occasional point. Fine. During the game I just played, after the after the “sim to next shift,” I jumped on the ice immediately AFTER the opposing forward passed our bench on the rush. I hustled back as hard as I could but he maintained a step ahead and scored. Of course, I got roasted for it. If I manually made horrible changes like that, the coach would send me down to the AHL. It absolutely took the stream right out of me and I simmed the rest of the game.
