Given who the OP is, and the name of the topic, I was sort of expecting to read this post and see something like,
Outside of Ryan Miller, my team is pretty freaking crappy, and I better do something about it.

Thats probably true, but I'll wait til the season starts to make changes.

Like the actual NHL, the waiting game is killing me right now. I want to see how my team fairs before I tinker any more but its still 3 weeks away.

One week and it's preseason. We get to find out if every game ends 4-2 with the shots being 29-10 for the winning team.

That was kinda odd seeing one team get so few shots. Did you guys tweak the strategy at all or did you go with the default setting?

I had physical play set to zero, and offence cranked all the way. I eneded up having 10 penalties against me and 14 shots on goal. Next game it's physical play and defence. I expect to have 2 penalties against me and to rack up 35 shots.

Surprisingly I had defense cranked to 4 and offense to 1. Trap trap trap. Only took 3 penalties, but then again, only two of my players are undisciplined and they took 2 of them.

I am waiting for the season to start to see how I need to tinker, I mean I have a couple ideas on what I can change but in a sim you never know who\what it is going to run with and make better.
As for the way I played my pre pre season game I just left it at default to see what would happen mainly because with the new sim I am going blind into this so I can see it taking a good half a dozen games before I have a fair idea on what I want. It may be the people that pick up on the sims game play first that may fair better through the season.

Problem with the preseason, it usually means very little of how a team will perform when the production schedule starts....
