Sim engine…
Is it me or is the simming engine not even in the realm of realistic? Ive yet to have more than one goal, but the opponent consistently gets 4 or 6 goals. Every…single…time

@Beauts90 That’s the thing that bothers me the most.. the Franchise Mode has a lot of flaws.. A LOT.. and there is always so much potential for it to be great.. the scouts, coaching, chemistry, X factors, etc etc.. the sad thing it’s just held together with duct tape.. instead of carefully putting the puzzle pieces together EA just smashes the pieces and uses scissors to make them fit..
but when you are in the bottom 5 teams in the standings and you sell off for a rebuild/retool.. you’re team is suddenly unbeatable.. and when you’re a buyer you’re suddenly the IRL Sabres..
I believe you when you say the sim is 50/50 when it comes to the outcome of games.. it doesn’t make sense.. good teams should be better than bad teams.. bad teams should play worse than good teams.. yes there are anomalies like when Columbus swept the Bolts a few years ago.. but it shouldn’t be like that every single year in the game..
the sim engine is not good. The Franchise Mode itself is not good and needs a revamp.. not the Be a Pro treatment because they will just take out scouts and coaches and chemistry but make the ice shinier and the menu screen more flashy and call it a revamp lol..
Give us the ability to edit players.. make scouts and coaches and chemistry adaptable.. and for f sakes please fix the engine and AI GM’s and trade values..

@heavydutyrammer the sim engine isn't 50/50, but it's damn close. There is no reason for a team with all 50 overall players come close to winning even a game, yet they have the ability to win up to 10, it makes no sense. Is hockey the most unpredictable sport? Yes, but the sim engine shouldn't be so 'unpredictable' that Arizona can make the playoffs with a 79 team rating, worst in the league by 4
