EA simulation is a joke. Maybe they fixed it for this year but when I sim be a GM in nhl14 (just the 13/14 and 14/15 seasons), Vancouver is a bottom 3 team 90% of the time, Edmonton is a top 10 team or better most of the time, sometimes tops in the league. Pittsburgh and Boston often miss the playoffs. Florida and Carolina are always contenders. One time I was trying to rebuild the flames all scorched earth like. Literally traded anyone away for picks who was 82 ovr or higher and 27 or older. That team finished with 105 points, Monahan scored 35 goals and 80 points and Ramo had like 10 shutouts and a .930 sv%. Much like the flawed gameplay itself, the sim engine is/was absolute garbage. I've seen Eberle win the Art Ross, Richard Lindsay and Hart. In the same year ffs. Not even worth discussing other than for mocking purposes.
