Strategy changing

No way to change them in  permanently in franchise mode only season mode

Okay thank you very much that answers that this forum thing is the **bleep** I really appreciate all the answers

You can find a coach to be the head coach of your AHL team that fits what you want to do and then have a conversation with your coach choose game plan then scheme fit and even if he don’t like it you can force him to change it to match the ahl coach scheme 

It kinda sucks too because the locked coaching strategies are nothing like real life counterparts...(as if adding real nhl coaches was just a gimmick.......). Developers are blowing a chance to help people really understand hockey tactics, like Madden back in the day, where they had legit playbooks based on actual nfl coaches. Funny thing is hockey strategy is much less complicated. Don't expect too much from EA. It's all about making as much money as quickly as possible as opposed to making a decent game. Sorry but you know it's true.
