"Here's what's going to happen. Naw, that was never going to happen. But I'm going to do this, but I won't. They're gonna take this deal (that was never going to happen). Oh, guess that won't happen."
36:20 now, I have played franchise mode very frequently since NHL 18. Stanly cup with every single team and rebuilds, one nation only challenges, draft challenges. And I have never, NEVER, seen a goalie prospect like that. I always have draft class and prospect qualities "high" and whole class perferctly scouted.
For scouting I usually just fine scouts with A+ in a region and C or higher overall. At the start of the season I just put 1 in each region to “discover all prospects” for 5 months. After that time I go through and count individual players or just let the AI do it if there isn’t interesting guys in the region. Any extra scouts at the start of the season I either put to discover prospects in the more populated leagues or I will use them to scout individual players if I think they will be around one of my picks.
I watched the whole video, because I'm going to try this next. Seven bad seasons, then pow! you're the 2007 Penguins! Bad teams can become good ones fast.
Great video, good challange, but how about: signing only elite low skaters/ goalies elite medium; draft only elite low skaters/gialies elite medium, rest trade for picks .. just to see if such a team is able to develop and win SC
I was playing NHL 24 I got the 17th overall pick San Jose had the 16th already I drafted a 72 overall with medium top 6 for potential San Jose drafted a 73 overall goalie with medium franchise at 16th
honestly a great video was getting bored of the rebuilds where its the same thing, sign a free agent class and get good fast as fuck by scamming the ai

Oh hey. It’s my favourite way to play franchise mode. “This is the stupidest video I’ve ever recorded”. Ouch
Same 😂 I’ve built so many dynasties that way
@@liamvanheddegan9778 it feels like the only way to have any kind of challenge

Why dont irl GMs do this then...
@@milanek1527because this is a video game…
Never got 1st overall, but Lindstrom ended up being having Low Franchise potential so you ended up getting your franchise player
You can't end it here. I wanna see how insane things get with those LA picks
O would love for him to get back the franchise goalie and getting a cup with him as starter!!!
all the rookies start asking for $20M each
Seeing you go from first to 3rd so many times had me laughing my ass off
You were so baffled the whole time and I'm just thinking to myself that I do this every time I play franchise. It's pretty easy honestly
Bro said he would trade up for franchise players and proceeded to never attempt to trade up when he was two picks away from a franchise player
sounds like soti
The ai will pretty much never give it up if its a franchise player first. You would probably have to give them all your first rounders

@@cameronjones305 do you have trade difficulty on easy? I usually have to give up like twice as much if I want 1st overall pick

I love when you tank
I want to see a drafting only rebuild but from picks from rounds 2 and 3
DUDE IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO DO THIS I WATCH MADDEN ONES THANK YOU FOR POSTING🎉
I liked that video lot, not any shortcuts, only palatinum drafting. Keep it up soti, support from Finland 🙂👍🏻
3:22 How tf do you trade a 6 and 7 for a 3? They give me a 5 at best
I watched the whole video, because I'm going to try this next. Seven bad seasons, then pow! you're the 2007 Penguins! Bad teams can become good ones fast.
I can’t believe you got shafted that many times on the first overall pick
You’re getting a steal if you think you paying 6.4 million 22:35
You should keep it going a few seasons see if you can build a dynasty 3 cups in 4 years
Congratulations you just hit 60k subs!🎉🎉🎉 also congratulations for passing the Detroit redwings
I do the fantasy draft start to the season, and then try to play with only players I draft all the time!
You could have drafted McKenna
We need a part 2!
Congrats on 60 K subs
I appreciate the use of my home town for the team name
Bro that's sick!
And congrats on 60k premium content

Great Video dude!
Lindstrom! Interesting video!
W for hitting 60k 🎉
I thought of this a week ago. What a coincidence.
The draft lotto bs proves its broken
Wheeling is also in Illinois :)
under salary cap = draft position dropped, sign those low overalls to contracts for 1 year to reach league minimum like the Hawks do
Not dumb at all I love this idea
can we get a compilation of you dropping to the third pick?
Dont sign youngster for more than 4 or 5 yrs because there potentiel will be scrap
50 people squad
Hey can you do this challenge for me rebuild a 0 ovr team around a 99 ovr goalie
Now do this for 25 years (or Ottawa for 25 years)
Im pretty sure the NHL and AHL scouts dont do anything if fog of war is off. I always have 0 pro scouts and nothing changes at all.
I think they help with determining line fit, but that’s it
I was saying lightning rebuild then now we are on a streak but still do the lightning rebuild.
SOTI is the GOAT.
I was playing NHL 24 I got the 17th overall pick San Jose had the 16th already I drafted a 72 overall with medium top 6 for potential San Jose drafted a 73 overall goalie with medium franchise at 16th
Ive been watching you since the vid you posted about what happens if you break wayne gretzkys record
Why was there no maklin celebrini
There has to be a bug making you drop to 3rd what the hell
why dont you download a great prospects roster from the vault would be a lot more exciting with Celebrini and Demidov
we love lindstrom
Do a fleury career mode
Lindstrom baby
W for Lindstrom
honestly a great video was getting bored of the rebuilds where its the same thing, sign a free agent class and get good fast as fuck by scamming the ai
Bro when teams projected 7 or worse get the first pick just trade up for the first pick
detroits draft luck was so good, jumped to second and first 28 draft and 29 draft and two years before they won the stanley cup 2026
Lindstrom😊
Lindstrom is him
Lindstrom!
when i do franchise my players never want that much money? why does it do it for you

It’s rigged because ea can’t make money off of franchise mode lol.

ea hates the worst team in the league lol. i played a 25 year franchise and seen the worst team get the first pick once

You want stupid video idea ? The same rules but only you can only draft in the 7th round.
