Hey xTech! I wanted to address your concern about the viewership (by the way thanks for the Jesse method shout-out, I sent the video to everyone I know!), I think the addition of 30+ franchise potential created players took us out of the simulation; the more realistic a franchise mode is, the easier it is to be invested, which is why NHL21 as a whole is failing IMO. All in all, I think the effort you put in is huge and we all appreciate it, I just think the massive wave of created character's threw people. See this one through though, you put a lot of effort in and it shouldn't go to waste!
The one thing that I would change about this series is adding a bit of a story. My favorite all-time youtube series was your shanghai dragons series, and my favorite part of it was the rivalry between wright and kostin. I think that if you did something like that again, this series could feel unique.
the rivalry between newfoundland and alaska is manufactured and I think that's what's wrong with this series. They're complete garb and I don't really care about them except the odd check up twice a year.
If you don’t at least reach the semi finals this upcoming season it’s time to do a dump of schmaltz, Weinberg, and other older players and get the young guns going. However, I do love this series and wish for it to continue.
For me, I like watching a series with realistic trades, and developing through a prospect system, but this series has been just all about instant gratification. Watching you trade up all the time, and grabbing sure fire players isn't as fun as watching someone develop over a few seasons to become a LLLL,Legend
I think the Shanghai franchise was cool because it wasnt the nhl. I was thinking a few episodes back like all the same players for the most part makes it feel like a rerun
Maybe next franchise could be one of the Europe leagues switched in for the NHL. Everyone starting with low overalls makes it a lot more fun to watch imo because you can do it 20 times and probably get 20 very different franchise modes because different players will develop each time
That would be sick
you better draft both of those gems! Also, I think Hartikainen is the move, he put up really solid numbers
Gems never seem to pan out for me.
It would be cool to see a franchise mode restart to the year 2000 and re write history and see who the 2021 Stanley cup champions are
Good idea
That would be tough though because I don't think you can add a team in the middle of a franchise mode
I’m the complete opposite, I can’t wait for more episodes. Your channel made me 109% more interested in be a gm. First be a gm channel I follow, great job all around.
i feel like chemistry isnt just about getting the plus 5, looking at what the player prefers in terms of what they like to do compared to what the coach wants for each lines might also impact how strong the chemistry works with each player. Id assume player type also makes an impact on how good the players work together with each other. I feel like you're seeing the lack of the right players on the right lines is impacting the defensive side of the team as you're scoring well enough, but allowing a ton as well. And I also think the quick sim takes chemistry into account when the real time in game sim doesnt take chemistry into account and you need to rely on overalls more than chemistry.
Fun fact: all of the series were at 3-1 leads except Chicago and Winnipeg. You hate to see it
As much as I know you like them and as good as they are, some time in the future I would try to trade Wennberg or Burakovsky. They will not stay at those OVR's and their value is boosted really high. I would try to trade one of them for a younger player to help the team's core become younger and to help the team for the future.
"oH, i dOnt KnOW WhY TheY'Re PLaYinG BoLT oN ThE THird LiNe"
Obviously forgets when he had Tolvanen on the 4th line...
well he didn’t want him and Colorade for sure wants Bolt
(Also I know this may be a joke but)
This franchise has still be enjoyable. Best thing about your franchise modes is the story lines
This is my absolute favourite GM mode series on RUclips, you make NHL 21 so much more enjoyable than it really is. Please continue this series for many more years. I wish you uploaded it more, please do not begin doing it less! You’re amazing xTech, people are going to hate, EA just did a poor job. There’s nothing you’re doing wrong, you’re great as always Brent. Keep it up, your loyal viewers will stay. The people who’ve been watching for years love the custom franchise modes, you make the most interesting GM mode on RUclips without a doubt in my mind.
Let's go mcmuffin
I think it’s not as exciting because you don’t have a big guy on your team zions good but is no Stastny
I love this series, I don’t know what there talking about. I look forward for this on my feed every time I open RUclips
I love this Series please don’t stop
Trade hunter lightning
He is not living up to expectations
I like this series so far, but I do have one suggestion. I have seen the concept of "Draft Only" where you aren't allowed to trade or sign free agents and only build a team through the draft... but I have never seen a series where it's "Trade Only" or "Sign Only". Trade Only would of course mean that you are only allowed to build a team through trades. Pick a team, and immediately get to work trading out ever single piece for a whole new team. This is a bit easier, since you still have all the value of your draft picks to work with, you just have to make sure that every pick is traded out before you have to make a selection with it. And you also aren't allowed to resign anyone. This mode is kind of fun because it's like the stock market, you have to keep tabs on players value throughout the year to try and cash out when it's high.
If you really want a challenge, do the "Sign Only" challenge where you have to build a team completely through free agency. This challenge is fun, but it is suuuuper difficult. The way that I handle draft picks is that you are allowed to make picks, but you can't sign them, you have to let them go to free agency. I find that it adds more drama to see who you could have had, but can't use, and then follow them as they end up on a potential rival team. And of course, you are allowed to use draft picks in offer sheets as well.
Just a couple of suggestions that I don't ever see get used. They are probably only viable for at most 5 seasons, each, but I've had fun challenging myself with them.
No problems with this series for me. Keep up the good work!
I loved the fully custom franchise mode like the Shanghai Dragons!
Even if the views aren’t as there as it was before, I honestly really like this series and look up to these videos every week! You are honestly my favourite NHL franchise RUclips and I just love the team and what you’re doing or it! Keep it up!!
I like the series it’s just more the game, like you said it’s very repetitive and just kinda tired of it
I'm loving the franchise! I have a lot of fun doing franchise sims myself so seeing what you do and seeing the comments from all the assistant GMs give me ideas for my own games. I think a big problem is the chemistry system needs work. It was a good idea but it's so strict and limiting that you kind of need to trade and chase those +3s and +5s to compete well instead of growing players into those +s.
Your Buffalo franchise really inspired me to do a similar one with Ottawa and just like you really latched onto Eichel and Dahlin I've found players to really grab onto and win the cup for too. That might be part of the problem here: you just don't seem to have the same excitement for Zion and Wright that you did with Eichel and Dahlin, though McMuffin is really fun to root for. Maybe bringing in a real-world struggling superstar or an aging vet in his last 5 seasons that you really want to win that cup for would help add passion and excitement?
Maybe after the offseason, a look around the league? Also, maybe turn injuries on, might spice things up. I know it is annoying. I think maybe there is a lack of random generated players??? And that is causing a bit of disconnect. I wish there was a way to turn chemistry off.
I’m lovin this franchise mode one of my favorites in a while
guys hartikienen is just a regular top 4 d man with top 4 d potential you always see than in the draft he is not going to be special just go for them gems an you really need to scout so you can find more gems next year
Henrik goes out with 69 shutouts... legend
The chemistry is highly over rated, I've had a line combo get +5 and they struggled so I put in another center and that line only got a +1 yet it took off and started dominating. There is a hidden chemistry in there somehow where random players will just click for no logical in game reason
In my opinion the reason I can’t really get into it all that much is every series seems to be a rebuild that becomes well not a rebuild and by year two you’re in the playoffs. I guess I’m just craving something more realistic where you really gotta grind it out 3-5 years to get a solid team completely building through the draft. I love the rebuild stuff and we haven’t really had a series in 3 years that was a true genuine rebuild expansion, starting with the bare minimum.
Idea for the next franchise mode, whenever that maybe.... Bring back a legend from each NHL team all forwards and defensemen, no goalies (kinda a waste of a player imo). Make them a 90 and a Med Franchise potential, ages could vary between 20-22, some players will grow higher than others. For example, CBJs legend could be Rick Nash. If the player is already in the game like Gretzky, just edit his player so we can have his face, just for fun. But I like this series and should keep it going!
Great series, one of my favorite franchise streams to watch. More frequent content may help? But life is also busy enough im sure. Keep up the great work, looking forward to your future episodes.
A bit out there, but I want to see you bring in Tyler Toffoli even if its just for a season. I think he would be a fun player for the series and a good middle-bottom 6 forward.
Definitely don’t give up on lightining he is a 23 year old high elite goalie who is 87 OVR and it is so hard to find a top tier young with good potential goalie deep into the franchise
Give up on him or you'll regret it.
Hunter Lightning = Rick DiPietro
hey xTech. I’ve been a big fan for a while but I feel like your new franchise modes aren’t as entertaining. I love the unique ones like the XTHL or Storm Bears, where you really go all in on story lines and use fan art and Twitter in the videos for storyline. Recently i have lost interest. What could help is a new expansion franchise team in like London?
Also I feel like you should do something other than franchise mode like maybe a Be A Pro this will help your channel grow and bring back old fans before a new franchise mode.
I think a fun idea is you leave ownership on (turn it on auto otherwise it gets annoying). You start with either Arizona or Florida but create an expansion team in Seattle. Your goal is to blow the team up and move them and rebuild them into a playoff contender before your contract expires. Once your contract expires, sign somewhere else and repeat. See how many teams you can get to the playoffs or even win the cup with. Also, no trading for players you previously drafted
you could hold twitter polls and such for new team names, and have viewers assist in team creation to get everyone involved
Xtech!!! Listen.
For another franchise I feel like you need to bring some nostalgia in some way. Like make CEDRIC CORRY JR, Agent C had a son and he is now on your team or like Taro Tsujimoto JR. I just think brining some nostalgia back would be good and you actually control them
enough with those players already
@@justinhirit9976 kinda got a point in a way
@@justinhirit9976 but this franchise mode doesn't have anyone and it's meh in my opinion
For a future franchise mode You should relocate a team in need like Arizona or something complete rebrand but you still have their players and you could go for the cup
i have not been into this. it is not your fault. but it feels like we have already watched this same gm mode dozens of times. i am tired of this game in general. hockey manager has been overtaking it now.
IM LOVING THE ALASKA ICE EAGLES FRANCHISE MODE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
On the flip side I’ve been more invested in this GM mode than previous ones 🤷🏼♂️
I enjoy franchises with original teams, original rosters a bit more, but good series nevertheless, keep up the good job!
Hey Xtech, im reposting this comment because you asked for it, I absolutely love the Gm series. But I have a suggestion to make for your futures gm modes series. I think that you could change some things. Traditionnally, you always draft a created goalie who has an insane overall and potential. I think it would be way more fun to have a challenge and try to develop a random generated goaltender and have a challenge to keep a great first goalie or a tandem at the same time. Also, I think that it would be refreshing to not have a created franchise player because its always the same and leaves no challenge (like Konrad, Agent C, Zion, Pox)because all the created players sims pretty much all the same. I think it would be way more fun to leave the created players to the a.i. and try to build your team and compete against them. After all its just my suggestion and im not hating i love the series!
I get some of the feedback, but I really dig this series, my only note is the uniforms, they aren’t as well done as the Stags, and Storm Bears. As a graphic designer it throws me but I still get into it and have caught all the episodes so far!
I would LOVE to see a Be-A-Pro career, but I'm loving this series!
I really enjoy career sims... maybe do some of those with created players and/or good prospects like Shane Wright
I feel like we are falling out of this is because we’ll have no fan favourites, personally I don’t like McMuffin, maybe if you get a stud like michkov I might want to pop in more, I already have watched every on one of your videos in the past few years but nevertheless I think you need to get a fun player like you have had in the past like a agent C so I think you should get michkov or a amazing sniper that is fun to watch ( like bedard ), also it is just so fun saying matvei michkov
i'd like to see some sort of a "coach mode" where you let the A.I handle all of the signings, trades, draft picks, trade block, roster moves, etc. and you only change the lines but you get to veto trades or pick a player you want in the draft if you make the playoffs or have other success(1 veto for playoffs, 1 for each round you win, 1 for the presidents trophy.
Just makes my day when you upload
This is the franchise that had me subscribe to you and although i dont comment i watch all of these vids
Hey xTexh, I'm not usually one for commenting, but wanted to let you know that I love this series (maybe I'm biased since I'm from Newfoundland), I mean with players like Hedman, Zion, and McMuffin come on ... What's not to love. I started watching your channel last year with the Shanghai series, absolutely loved that as well, and would love to see something like that again. But please continue this series, I always look forward to getting notifications for your videos.
Can you do a short Vegas golden knights franchise every franchise mode I do they always get really bad so I want to see if you can change that
I have been waiting EVERYDAY for NEW Alaska Ice Egales PLEASEEEE DONT STOP PLZ!
keep it up! love what your doing with the channel!
No keep the ice eagles rollin
I have been waiting forever for a flyers season you said it 1 time about doing it and I never seen it.
I love this series!! Keep it up!!
I’m enjoying the series ... but I think that line chemistry should develop over time. Weather it improves or declines would make it more dynamic
Just want to say im super into this franchise! I look for a new upload everyday. And for The drop in views, as you kind of mentioned intrest in nhl 21 is on The down, so not suprising The views match that
Keep it going!!!! I have liked this one as much as the others
Islanders won in the draft lottery for the third time in a row, was Taylor hall have been trade to the New York islanders at the start of this franchise mode and we did not know?
personally i love this series. try not to take the hate
constructive criticism and people saying they are not into the series that much is considered hate now?
I would be careful about bringing Alexander Wennberg back. He’s a medium top 6 forward, so he’s not gonna stay at 87 overall. Paying a guy who’s probably gonna drop anyway over $7 million would come back to bite you hard in the future when you do start struggling for cap and his contract becomes untradable.
I have an Idea, a series where you try to get a great team and make them bad, like you make the Lightening a rebuilder and try to make them a contender again in like 5 seasons maybe?
Dont stop this series I may not comment alot but I love this
I would lovvvvvvvve to see another xtnhl if it’s not to hard to make
Your next GM Mode should be alumni teams.
Xtech idk if you really play hut anymore. But like your old pack attack videos were gold loved them you should think about doing something like that again
Love the gm modes tho keep it up
Please draft Sheldon Granato, he literally has my last name, he could be my long lost cousin.
Xtech When you go into the simulation it seems like chemistry does not go into account. So when the playoffs come around, when you start slow simming just screw chemistry
I actually like this series!
Mario Gretzky should’ve been number 69. Not because it’s funny, but Mario and Wayne’s numbers together. Plus Mario (6) then Gretzky (9). Just my 2 cents
I always love your franchise mode been watching for years
Give Lehtonen a raise or a contract extension
I do look forward to watching this but I think you need to do more episodes a week it hard to wait a week to see the new one
For goalies you ideally want aggressiveness to be around 75-80 cause if their too aggressive they get caught out of position easily
You should try a fantasy draft franchise mode
The jersey's for your team as home are straight fire.
I love all your series! keep it up good sir
I think you need a #1 center next season to play with zion next season. Wright probably won't be at the level of a first line Center.
If you get a proper 1st line C, you can most Wright down to line to to help him grow better. This means you could.movw on from Wennberg
Id give Biggie Schmaltz another season as your 3rd line C and see how he does.
Maybe pick up another 3-4 place D man, ypur bottom 6 was really weak I find, maybe the overall jump will fix that.
As for the lack of interest in others. I read some of the comments and I can agree with some of them. Like someone else said, the 40-50 created players are breaking the game/making it easier.
I personally love how you created the two teams and replaced existing NHL teams and put everyone from them in free agency. I do wish, however, that you and the Growlers we in the same conference for more games.
I wanna see another series like the shanghai one, it was really cool
I've heard the Pittsburgh Penguins are looking for a new GM. Maybe you could lead Sid and Geno to another back to back Stanley cup win before they retire.
Rangerstown USA represent
Really need to work on the scouting. There shouldn’t be that many unknown potentials that high in the draft!
Michael raycroft, leafs legend oh wait
If the eagles score first the fans should get free ice cream cones!
I want to see the XTHL Return or have a ledge in franchise mode
With regards to a new series, i think you should add the ‘kraken’ in as best you can and take control of Ottawa, seeing as they are doing so well, and take a more realistic approach to trades and signings e.g. you can only trade for players ‘on the bloc’ and for big name signings you have to pay over the odds for them. You could perhaps move the franchise if you dont make the ploffs within 3-4 years.
Just an idea.
Dont mind this current series, but im not clicking on it as soon as i see it, unlike previous ones.
Perhaps consider knocking down the superstars draft wise to high 70 overalls
Cheers
Wennberg at 7.5 is a bargain imo since he’s playing pretty good on the 2nd and he was making 11.3M last season so that still gives u almost 4M back
just to add an idea, and not to rip anyone off, but I am a huge fan of Tougie's draft to glory series. maybe a franchise mode with some rules would peak more people's interest
I think you need to upload more to make me more invested
You should check out that A. Lambert guy. If his name is Anthony he’s my brother 😂
I love the content bud keep goin!
I want a video of xtech trying to screech like the ice eagle in the intro lmao
And then add the audio over the screech in the following episode
I think you should start mini series like Buffalo, just go on quest for cups in like 2-3 years max 5, nothing wrong with this series tho
Bolt scores on Lightning. This made me chuckle and I'm not sure why.
You should have the option to turn chemistry off in franchise mode
Hey I can’t make a good franchise mode that I can enjoy. What do I do
