Babe wake up 2bc dropped an NHL 24 gm commentary episode

[dedric]

Unfortunately a lot of ARI/Utah’s top prospects aren’t in the game because they are overseas. Both of their 2023 1sts in defenseman Dmitri Simashev (6th overall) and LW Daniil But (12th overall) are playing in the KHL. I would recommend adding them as they will be big pieces of the future

Hopefully this GM mode doesn’t end in 2BC purgatory

Life is so much better with a 2bc gm mode

Hey john glad ur back!! 1 thing i wanna mention is that stupid thing EA does to get u to the cap floor. they increase everyone’s contracts which is a bit unfair on u. You should reset the file and give urself a guy or 2 making max contracts on a 1 year deal so it doesn’t give u that extra cap on ur players like keller who still has 5 years left and is making 8.8 million (according to EA getting u to the cap floor) instead of 7.15. that extra money is crucial to the team especially a team looking to start getting competitive and maybe signing a few big name FAs

[maxflores]

The effort by Johnny.
Have to appreciate that.
Looking forward to this new season.
Go Yetis!

Johnny, with the Yetis having so many draft picks you NEED to have a focus on scouting. Finding good players in the mid rounds will be crucial to a quick turnaround for this roster.

It may be a pain in the ass to do with the menu-ing, but it’s well worth it.

This is the most complete way to scout a draft class that I’ve found in this game:

2 scouts in: Russia, Liiga, SHL, US Central, WHL, OHL, QMJHL
1 scout in: DEL, NLA, Extraliga, US East, US West

Scout Player Type first
Sep 13 - Oct 1

Then Strengths and Weaknesses
Oct 1 - Nov 11

Skills Assessment
Nov 11 - Jan 25

Potential
Jan 25 - May 31

Dates can fluctuate a little bit, but those are rough guidelines. Prioritize a scouts overall before region efficiency, because that can increase. When scouting in regions with two scouts, use the first for the top group of prospects and use the second to continue with prospects after the first scouts group. You can also ignore prospects past the 300 ranking mark, I have rarely seen one get higher than low top 6/4 potential.

I know this is a pain in the ass to do and understand if you don’t want to do it for this series. But it will be a MASSIVE help in finding the best value prospects to fill in your roster or use as trade pieces.

I can see the storytelling come to life, John will have so much fun with this series (EA voodoo not included during the regular season and will appear in playoffs)

[robrick]

Not calling them the "Utah Stormin Mormons" will be the greatest sin in hockey history.
Joseph Smith is rolling over in his grave in disgust.

[codythegrinder]

I think competing will be the best option for year 1. No need to tank to get the first overall pick. Give the young guys a chance in year 1.

[MichaelT]

Arizona is a good young team the right moves can propel them into the playoffs In year 1. These are some moves I think gm superbman should make:

Keep durzi, he’s a stud in real life and grows like crazy in nhl 24

Trade vejmelka, 4 mil is a lot for a back up, Ingram is much better and you can get a good back up for cheap and put vejmelkas contract into some more depth

Lastly play the young guns give guenther, Cooley, Macceli and doan playing time in the top 6 and on the pp

Hope these suggestions help and let’s make this team into a dynasty John

[dmachine]

John as a coyotes fan for life please keep a Doan on the team, they’re the best type of players to have on your team. Good to see you back John!

[JarrodVesce]

Lets pray that John keeps posting this GM Mode and doesn't leave it on a hiatus 🙏🏻

[robbobb]

johnny i dont think u shld trade the #1 pick to SJS, if u claim your universe begins in mid-april you should be able to have ur own universe’s draft lottery!

[justin]

You got absolutely SCREWED on your contracts. The coyotes are so far below the cap limit that EA increased the cap hit of every one of your players to bring you to the cap floor.

This includes long term deals like Clayton Keller whose actual contract is $7.15m but in the game got pushed up to $8.86m

[mtrDerp]

WELCOME BACK DAD!!! “Going for it is exactly what this team should do”

[freemaisen]

This kid from Utah grew up watching you in 14’, this was beautiful ❤

[The_Great_Darino]

As a coyote fan, I can assure you that if history has taught us anything, no matter how bad the coyotes are, they will NOT get the overall number one pick. Edmonton cornered the market with that, no matter how much worse Arizona was than the Oilers.

That being said, go with the gradual build. 👍🏻

[cormk]

Now hear me out. You just bought a hockey team and brought it to a city that’s never had hockey. You have to build the buzz the excitement you’re building the business. The business has to succeed before the team can succeed. Standing there in your first press conference so you want to be talking about a five or six year plan? Hell no Utah is gonna make big moves huge splashes bring big names to the organization.. Utah is going to win now marketing there young guns and filling out the second line with names like idk maybe Patrick Kane? Let’s build the excitement let’s build the franchise and get fans buts in the seats let’s go big!!!

[yann]

Johnny you gotta restart the save because all your contracts are inflated (Keller for example is making 7, 15M irl while hes making 8.86M in the save), the game does this when teams dont reach the cap floor at the start of a save. To fix this give a random bottom 6 who has one year left 11M so your team is cap compliant.
