YOUR LOVE AFFAIR WITH CROSBY CONTINUES. YOU SHOULD BE PLAYING SLOW MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND AND DRESSED IN A BATHROBE. THE PENGUINS ARE A BUNCH OF CLOWNS. MAYBE THE WORST AND OLDEST TEAN YOU HAVE PUT TOGETHER. LAINE? THE SOFTEST PLAYER IN THE NHL NOT NAMED PASTANAK
I played NHL at a younger age, probably 9, 10 years ago. Now this year I'm back into it and loving franchise mode. Your content is absolutely phenomenal and helps me to understand different aspects of the game. Keep up the great work :)
The final period of the 2nd game against Ottawa was insane. You tie it, 1-1, and then Ottawa gets 5 goals in 3 minutes 15 seconds! Talk about completely falling apart.
To get the most out of your players growth you need to set the coach to 5v5 and increase offensive and defensive awareness. You lose deking and speed but set your offseason goals to work on those for each player
If possible could you please draft Ryan Roobroeck, I went to school with his cousin and have one of his game worn jerseys. Would love to see him in Pittsburgh!
And I went to school with the twice removed uncles nieces brothers best friends sister who was the daughter of the janitor who cleaned Wayne Gretzkys toilet once. Could you please draft Wayne Gretzky?
I wish you would sim the end of the 3rd periods in game if the score was even or ahead/behind 1 goal. That would bring some more excitement to watch the actual gameplay on those tight matches
When they did the franchise mode deep dive, they showed a feature where you can lock a certain player into a certain spot in the lineup. How do you do that?
I think you should do 10 seasons for this franchise because you’re going to try to win for the first 3-4 seasons, and when you start rebuilding, there won’t be enough seasons to fully rebuild and win.
Mate, you haven't adjusted to the new contracts. When org & contract bar is full, you can get them to come way down. Less so on smaller contracts, but still. Like O'Connor you probably could have gotten 3 years 1 mil. It's expected for you to try negotiate the prices down from where they start.
I can't say I'm surprised at Letang having only 21 in 82, I love your content Tactix, but Kris Letang has been an RD from literally the time he was drafted. He was an RD in junior, he was an RD in Wilkes-Barre, he was an RD in 2009, he was an RD in 2016 and he is an RD in 2024. Why would you touch that?? Doesn't make any sense to me and I'd imagine you'll change it back next year? Or at least, I would hope he's back at RD next year? 22:33 Aaaaaaand top 10 least surprising losses in anime history, numbers 1-10, this. Literally the 2013 Boston series again. Brutal.
McOverrated having more than 58 poise is ridiculous too. 4 of 7 finals games he had ZERO points!!! Getting carried by your third line when you're being extremely overpaid and are regarded by some as the best player in hockey (he's no Barkov, Rhinehart or any of the other players worth mentioning) who actually show up when they're needed. Left his team out to dry as only lebron james can seem to do.
Thank you for the video! I do my own custom rosters and with all do respect, your depth NHL players are too low rated. There is a big difference between a fourth line NHLer and a first line AHLer. For example if they play around a full season on average in the NHL and are not a net negative, they are at least an 80ovr because that should be the mark of a consistent NHL player. When it comes to a player like Alex Nedeljkovic, he should be around a 83 to 84 because that means a team would need to trade a 3rd to 4th round pick in order to get him. That is how it would be in real life because in this franchise mode, his contract had to be given away for free. In real life he is a capable 1b goaltender who he on a good contract.
I kinda agree . They add too many no hopers and then complain that the AI GM's are dumping their prospects to Free agency. (Im looking at you Tougie!). There is 32 teams with 50 slots available. They add 200 prospects and then wonder why it goes to shit!!!
Hope you guys are excited for the new series! How do you think the team does next season??
Pick up Sprong at the deadline & you win the cup
Use the offseason chat with players and tell them shoot more or pass more depending on player type

As a Pens fan, I have a feeling this one is going to hurt

Thanks so much! Really appreciate that :)
Ned being a 79 is reallyyyy disrespectful considering he played his best game at the end of the season last year
Part of it is him not being a starter
@ oh i see
@@YOUxx-_-xHe was also an ahl starter the year before? I think 80 ovr is fair for neddy
@@notowie7024 look at his stats at the end of last season
@@YOUxx-_-x Short sample size, mid numbers on a bad team. Considering the season before and how bad he was, it's fair.
Finally, a Pittsburgh Series
The final period of the 2nd game against Ottawa was insane. You tie it, 1-1, and then Ottawa gets 5 goals in 3 minutes 15 seconds! Talk about completely falling apart.
Very flyer like lol
Mhmmm lol
Been waiting for this! Love the content
Thanks Matthew!
so excited for next episode!
Nedelkovic was a perfect example of when you should use the trade finder.
To get the most out of your players growth you need to set the coach to 5v5 and increase offensive and defensive awareness. You lose deking and speed but set your offseason goals to work on those for each player
That's smart!
The King of unraelistic franchise mode is back!
LMAO what was so bad in this one?

early love the vids tactix!
The facts that u and Vasi doing the same franchise is crazy 😂
Love your videos so much thanks for the amazing content
Thanks so much Matthew! Means a lot :)
Let’s goo bring back 10 seasons for the pens, go pens go
WOOHOO
Finally!!!!!!
I appreciate content creators using blackmill music in the background
Wow, I never notices Acciari's nose was broken so bad.
First comment, would love to see the kings next!
When they did the franchise mode deep dive, they showed a feature where you can lock a certain player into a certain spot in the lineup. How do you do that?
Coach conversations
@TacTixHD yeah I figured it out by going back and watching the franchise mode trailer
@tactixhd when you try to charm and you see risky don’t do it. Do the neutral one first and then when you ask to lower salary the charm always works
Love these series thanks TactixHD😍
Why are the Sharks out here catching strays lol
LMAO I'm sorrry
The blue jackets, probably had good chemistry
Revenge for 2017 i love it
I think you should do 10 seasons for this franchise because you’re going to try to win for the first 3-4 seasons, and when you start rebuilding, there won’t be enough seasons to fully rebuild and win.
Just an fyi, Ehlers is more of a sniper than play-maker.
Good catch! I agree we'll get that switched
Dylan samberg should be at least 83 OVR. Not an offensive beast but good defensively. Overall a pretty underrated player defensively not only 80 OVR
Does the preseason morale boost actually affect anything if you have morale turned off?
yes you can,if you merge the custom roster + the regular EA roster you will be able to have both!
You can but it puts every created player into free agency, meaning he still would have to reassign every player
@ its not that bad and not every player.
We edited all the existing player stats and you lose all that. That's A LOT of hours
Do islanders next plz
I love how the Hawks said no then you added a 7th and they said "we'd be a fool to say no".
Classic lol
Mate, you haven't adjusted to the new contracts. When org & contract bar is full, you can get them to come way down. Less so on smaller contracts, but still. Like O'Connor you probably could have gotten 3 years 1 mil. It's expected for you to try negotiate the prices down from where they start.
Didn’t know this draft is goalie heavy
Some good ones for sure!
@ hope the Canucks can get there hands on some of em they desperately need one or two in the system
Just so you know it’s pronounced Ivan-KOH-VIC for the goalie
Thank you!
Do you not know that both Players attributes ”sliders” and the difficulty only applys ingame?
S.Pecker. all you need to do is add an A in there, and you have speaker
🤯
The Calder Cares way too much about +/-
100%
Who is rakells 1 team no trade list? JW
I'll check haha
15:20 Crosby stands with Gretzky
tac can u do my rangers, i want to see what tactixhd has up his sleeves to finally take my blue and white to the promise land finally!!
Time for a Red wings franchise soon?
Where is Victor Eklund???
I hope you can do what Dubas cannot
Do Oilers. Trying to resign McDavid. Or trade him and see if you can rebuild around Draisatl.
Malkin higher rated then Karlsson 😂
3:50 Not gonna lie, you all shoulda lowered Jarry's OVR way down, he looks like a bum ATM 😅
He would've been 86 or 87 if not for his terrible start haha
Calgary doesn’t have their own 1st this and it’s really looking like they won’t finish bottom 10 this year
Next must be isles they are in such a tough spot keep the old more move to young for past 3 seasons
And boost the kings plz, they always end up worse than the sharks, they are atleast supposed to be looking for a playoff spot
No Tristin Broz
Can you bring back the flower to Pittsburgh
why is ned only a 79?
Backup and his stats if you look havent been great last few years
I will now be hate watching, love you tactix but simply cant be rooting for the penguins
Haha I appreciate it still!
Gotta split up ek n tanger

Don’t run a vote next time - just do the Devils please lol
I didn't see if u got Marc Andre Fleury but if u didn't I hope u can get him before he retires
He had an NMC but with a new contract it might be gone!
@TacTixHD oh ok and I'm guessing that NMC had the Penguins on it? Or was that just a normal NMC
He has a total full NMC 😢@@rylendmccarty
I feel you shouldve stayed more pgh way. They def aren't looking to deal picks or prospects.
Blomquist should not be a ME
it's crazy how grzelcyk has such a high D-awareness, that guy was always getting caught out and making bad decisions on the bruins lol

I love you 😊
After can please do the ottawa senaters

Day 4 for asking for 10 year franchise
Whats the point of keeping doing franchise without injuries on? Youve done the same franchise 7391 times already, change it up
The Syracuse crunch dynasty continues. 4 in a rown.
Why are you not doing it realistically??? Come on
XPERTTAZE ROSTER IS BETTER, I DON'T ADD ALL THE 6TH ROUND PICKS THAT ARE USELESS AND WON'T CHANGE YOUR FRANCHISE, ALL THIS DOES IS CREATE MORE LAG
😂
I kinda agree . They add too many no hopers and then complain that the AI GM's are dumping their prospects to Free agency. (Im looking at you Tougie!).
There is 32 teams with 50 slots available.
They add 200 prospects and then wonder why it goes to shit!!!
