Assisted Strategies

So I previously mentioned this when the assisted strategies were first released (NHL 23?) - we need to have the ability to adjust them at will. The current frequency is just not enough, even when you set it to suggest the changes more frequently.

For example - I’m winning and I get a power play. It suggests, fairly, that I be more aggressive on the power play. But then the power play is over and it never suggests me to go back to “balanced”. So I’m stuck on full pressure when it makes no sense.

Because of this, I almost never use the assisted strategies. In the EAFC series it makes suggestions as to changes to the strategies, but I can then change them at will also. NHL should do the same thing for being aggressive/cautious, roll four lines or shorten the bench, etc etc.

  • On another noteEA_Aljo​, are we able to see what changes when we select “full pressure” or the more cautious option? Like does it change our forecheck, neutral zone positioning, etc? I think we should have an option to customize these increased/decreased pressure aspects as part of the playbooks. I think EAFC also has this to some degree.

    You have a great start, but from a consumer standpoint it doesn’t seem to have been improved upon in a significant way since like NHL23. I’d like to see this be modified in a way to make it actually useful.
