Juniors and AHL

I created a thread in December but want to elaborate on it more…

Put juniors back in… remove the storyline of being forced to become the next Great One without any effort.. or at least create a separate storyline that lets you play how you want.. an adaptive storyline…

want to be a stay at home shutdown defenseman? Great.. get relevant coach challenges like “we’re up by a goal, block 2-3 shots to preserve our lead..

like role playing as a grinder/def minded shutdown forward earning that niche role? 
Coach challenges like get x amount of takeaways when we’re in the defensive zone.. stick lift x amount of times in defensive zones.. etc

offensive dman?

get 2 assists this game, get a GWG etc

stuff like that.. have the storylines and coach challenges MATCH your player type.. 

defensive defenseman shouldn’t be relied on to constantly get goals when team is behind..

Snipers shouldn’t be relied on to play superb defensively or physically..

stuff like that..

the storyline for the current Be a Pro is way too linear.. you are a god no matter what you do..

remove, or separate, the forced stardom…

on top of that, put the AHL back in.. if you play poorly, get sent down. If you are too young and are playing poorly, get sent back to the juniors. 

if the juniors are back in, and as a PLY/TWF forward we score 70G,74A in 60gp, sure maybe that is a top ten draft position. 

but if we score 15G,35A in 60gp with 150 PIM as a grinder.. maybe we don’t get picked until the 5th round or later.. 

have it make sense.. like real life.. that’s what the simulation hockey is supposed to be.. like a simulation of the real NHL.. not easy god mode.. 

of course the bugs need to be fixed… win the Selke as best defensive forward but never get to play on the penalty kill.. 

constant dialogue issues.. challenges that fail even if you meet criteria.. so on and so on
