Franchise Update
I wanted to just give a kind of off the record update on my franchise. I'm 25 game into my season which I am happy about. I'd like to play a little more, but either way, I'm happy with the results I have been getting. I was a little worried about Tampa to start, thinking I may be to good with them, but they are a very nice challenge. The mix of played games vs simmed has been good, and I'm happy with how I have things set up.
First major change I made was last night during the Leafs game. I played that game probably about 8-10 times yesturday. It all started when I was playing early in the morning and out shooting them 16-1 after the first, and up 3-0. I did some slider changes and then was winning 7-0 after two. So I went and tried to get slider changes and spent all day working on them. I am not working with All-Star sliders, as I have found that Superstar just does not run right this year. The CPU has super human ability, out skates me all the time even when the slider is down, so I decided to make the change. I beat the leafs 5-1 with the sliders, but I also played that game about 2-3 times with the new ones, tweaking as I went. My thought is, the leafs in my franchise are not amazing, and so when I play a better opponent I am going to get a challenge. I'll make some changes perhaps, but happy with the results I got.
I'd like to do more news articles for the chise, but it is just finding the time to do them. I'll do standings and stats updates at the end of each month of play. I'm not seeing a lot of action in terms of trading, which I guess is nice. Good to see big names are not just moving for the hell of it. Anyways, just wanted to make a small update on changes. Thanks for following, and if you have any suggestions or ideas for something you want to see, I'm open to ideas.
