Hey man I loved the video good idea! I’d love to see the defense and goalies on the teams too. After seeing forwards I get so confused how they are dead last lol. *sharks curse obviously* keep it up man!
Hey thanks for the love! :) The defense was actually pretty solid haha. The sharks had Buium, Mukhamadullin, and some highly-drafted prospects throughout the years. Goaltending was usually a high enough overall goalie, too, as Askarov spent some time in San Jose shortly after the current tandem left, followed by other generated goalies. I would've loved to have looked at the whole team each season and I have in other career sims in the past but it likely would've made the video over an hour 😭 All that to say, I fully agree that the team record was extremely confusing all things considered 😂 Thanks again and talk soon!
The EA sim is so bad, how players keep potential when performing poorly. And don't get me started on players like mcdavid getting high 80 points and weird players having insane seasons out of nowhere. My only wish for NHL 25 is to have good sims where players put up accurate points like Mcdavid and Matthews with respectable save pct for goalies.
We see many of those across our Franchise Mode series! :) Check out one of our many playlists on the channel, maybe choose an offseason draft, and you're off to the races!
31:06 speaking of weird hitting stats... had a Flames sim a while back.... Gaudreau led the post season hits category at nearly 100 hits by the end of the post season... next closest guy was like 60 and it was an actual power forward or grinder, cant remember who though. I was super confused by that stat
SPOILERS It has to be the coaching. What an awfully hot coffee pot. Through 18 years Celebrini is a part of 5 playoff series (2 being swept, 1 sweeping, 1 losing in 6 to eventual cup-winners...SJS, 1 losing in 5 to COL). 10 pts in 23 games........Busted player. Busted game. Let's blame it on the coach and get started on Easton COWAN!!!! 🤭
You would think that had to be it! What was even crazier was how the Sharks must've had a myriad of horrible coaches for so long 😭 But yeah well said, busted all around 🤣 And with Celebrini done, Cowan continues to climb the list 👀
@@winkletown8828 They would be worse without him. At least he shows up and he’s not a ghost on the ice unlike the best offensive team such as my leafs.
Tell me about it, eh! It's a much smaller sample size than some others at the top but he's currently 2nd in all-time points per game by a 1st overall pick 👀
It could be really bad coaching. The reason why players are doing so much worse on the sharks than other teams could be because on other teams a bad coach would be fired a lot earlier whereas on the sharks you are technically controlling the team but not changing anything so the bad coach doesn't get fired and players keep having bad stats.
Coaching must've been involved but I wasn't controlling the Sharks! I was running the save file as an eastern conference team so the Sharks would've been dealing with their own coaching issues
All you gotta do is take control of any other team than the one you're following (but technically you could take the same one, I just prefer this way), set everything to auto, and simulate! I don't do any managing whatsoever, just pure simulation of each season.
Haha I wonder if it has something to do with him being a created player at all but I'm certain it's bad luck with the coaching. We'll see if that carries over into NHL 25!
It’s because he’s a created player. Created players never grow/produce at a high pace compared to organic players. Every created prospect I’ve added has never produced at the rate that players added by EA do.
I see what you're saying and I've experienced the same but it's debatable! For example, Michkov was also a created player and, in the background of this sim, he won multiple Hart trophies with multiple 120+ point seasons in Philly. On top of that, Celebrini wasn't the only one floundering in San Jose. That being said, I do 100% believe that, once he's in the game, if I were to run the sim again, the results would be much better. Thanks for watching! :)
@@jacobdavis5247 Unfortunately it basically comes down to either giving him one from the get go, or waiting for the game to give him one in like 8 years 😂
I'll have to try that and see what happens! At the same time, I'm confident that running the exact same sim would yield different results as there HAD to be some sort of issue with the Sharks' coaching behind the scenes
The EA sim is so bad 😭, appreciate the effort
Thanks Red 😭😭 If it were as simple as pressing a button to re-sim, I would've done it for you!
Sharks winning the cup had me in tears 😂😂
You can't make this stuff up!! 😭😭🤣

Respect for releasing so fast 💪 would love to see a ryan leonard or alexander nikishin
Thanks Gaben! ❤️ Noted! Leonard has been an especially popular suggestion in the last year so his time will come as will Nikishin's!

Yes! 👏👏👏
The sim on these game is so random... EA needs to step up their game.
Another entry into the folder of evidence 😭
you should do a career sim of an ai generated 1st overall pick prospect
We see many of those across our Franchise Mode series! :) Check out one of our many playlists on the channel, maybe choose an offseason draft, and you're off to the races!
You should make a Will Smith creation! Would love to see how those two connect in the game!
Noted! 👀 Thank you Jerry!

That's so crazy!! 🤣🤣 There has to be some underlying slider or attribute or SOMETHING that would help to explain these situations!
I’ve had sims where Jack Hughes, Logan Cooley, and other stars like that consistently lead the league in hits.
Macklin Celebrini will end up scoring 90+ points in a season once he develops
@@insanum666 I don't doubt it!

@@Data782 YAY COWAN! (please don't have the same experience lol)
Why does the EA playoffs sims have so many sweeps?
It's a fair observation!
24:39 sharks finish 9th.. maybe we know the issue now..
Right? 👀
It’s crazy how McDavid almost has 1000 points already in his career.
And keeps losing 🤣

@@Data782 the computer controlling the sharks must have been an idiot then. Happens a lot in EA sims unfortunately.
Drafted in San Jose
Indeed he will be
Such a leafs experience
Tell me about it 😭
Spoiler:
Maybe the Sharks had a C or D rated coach that dragged down the players' performances along with horrible chemistry?
I wouldn't be surprised for some seasons, but the AI often fires coaches so it must've been a revolving door of C-rated guys 😭
How do you do these career sims? I know its franchise mode but which team do you GM for and do you actually manage the team
All you gotta do is take control of any other team than the one you're following (but technically you could take the same one, I just prefer this way), set everything to auto, and simulate! I don't do any managing whatsoever, just pure simulation of each season.
Do whoever the habs should pick: one of catton/lindstrom/demidov/levshunov
Yes! I look forward to running that sim after the draft 👀
You gotta do a Tij Iginla one!
I'd love to once we see who drafts him! 👀
@@Data782 I have a feeling it'll be Ottawa, I doubt he'll be there at 9 for the Flames
Celebrini just was a toxic player for San Jose, he became the Mitch Marner of the west
I wonder, eh! 😭
33:27 he would be a lot lower i think ( in this game) become some of those players on that list are like 24 years old
For sure! Much more would change by the 2040's
I've seen like 10 of these so far and I am convinced Celebrini is bugged he always does bad

I don't know why the sharks would keep him with 60 point seasons..
I'm sure at that point he was in a leadership role and everything but I am surprised that he ended up staying for 16 seasons with those results
Changing nothing for three years ... line changes ... and hoping for change ... the definition of insanity.
Exhibit A for why the AI GM needs improved logic 😭
EA hates the Sharks
That seems to be the case 😭😭
why give him a zone ability off rip
@@jacobdavis5247 Unfortunately it basically comes down to either giving him one from the get go, or waiting for the game to give him one in like 8 years 😂

nine-uhhh
Uhhhhhh
Defensive coaching scheme…
Definitely a possible contributing factor!
Weeeeeeeeeeeee 🎉🎉💯
My thoughts exactly! 🤩
EA is complete trash. I hope the developers see this video
I don't know.. look at Matthew's.. 70 goal player and can't get out of the second round.. not always fake
At this point my channel is a longitudinal study! 🤣
For Matthews in the playoffs sure, but I think the bigger issue was San Jose consistently being a bottom 5 team with a high overall core of players
@@JenandTomsadventures a medium franchise 91 overall who routinely struggles to reach 60 points in a season? No way
@@randomone97 ok that part ya lol
Hey data wanna 1v1 on chel sometime
