NHL 21: CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS FRANCHISE MODE - SEASON 1

[@TacTixHD]

Hope you guys are excited for this franchise mode series! Let me know what we should do with Toews and Kane :)

[@robertpassabile3426]

first

[@thatjetsfan1334]

Trade them for lucic,

[@thatjetsfan1334]

@New York Thunder yes. For lucic

[@brennanconway19]

Dach should be med elite he went 3rd overall

[@sportsfan3236]

Yes Blackhawk franchise

[@tealpenguin7546]

"We are rebuilding" Immediately goes and signs Mike Hoffman and Dustin Byfuglien...

[@TacTixHD]

To flip... but we did better than I expected

[@brianschlaf7007]

That kinda makes sense tho helping the rookies and young players tho

[@xavierpaquette9803]

Was not a realistic move at all 😂 franchise mode is way too easy because lets be honest, ok maybe buf could sign in chicago because he got drafted by them, but hoffman ahah no chance

[@lucifermorningstar3709]

@@xavierpaquette9803 maybe that’s why it’s called a video game not real life? Just a thought

[@thecaynuck4694]

What's more wild is the free agent signings at the end of the video where he seems to be going for the cup another time in 2022 despite saying that 2022 and 2023 draft classes are insane.

[@dannyz269]

I traded strome for laine. Giving dach 2nd line minutes develops him so much faster

[@hockey4life96]

That’s smart, usually when I play franchise mode, Kirby Dach doesn’t really increase much and develop because he’s stuck on the 3rd line because of Strome and Toews. Kirby would be like an 84 at age 25 and still be on the 3rd line

[@matess_5556]

@@hockey4life96 Kirby is pretty good actually. I traded for him with NJ and paired him with Hughes. They have +5 and he can simulate really Well

[@hockey4life96]

@@matess_5556 Ya, once Kirby is in the roll he’s supposed to be in he’s elite. He was a 90 for me in like 2028 of my franchise mode

[@ch9pgam3s64]

Good idea!

[@VikingCrash26]

As a diehard hawks fan, pumped to see this! Defs gotta keep Toews and Kane solely for what they’ve done for the franchise. They deserve to retire as hawks

[@thatjetsfan1334]

Can’t wait for this series. Please consider doing the jets soon❤️

[@iamyou2303]

Yes!!!!

[@chris.pelletier179]

@W O L F T I M E that's why he said soon. Relax my guy

LETS GOOO JETS

[@kieranpothegadoo4549]

Hey tac! Great episode of the franchise series, but I think the problem with the draft is that you didn’t hire any scouts. But otherwise, great episode a lot of surprises!

[@ethandiamond4378]

YES IM A BLACKHAWKS FAN THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@noahspatz6871]

Ur welcome

I'm also I bears fan bro you feel my pain watching that game?

Let’s go

[@LucaC27]

When are u gonna do Ottawa?

[@Gopherzooka]

meanwhile on the franchise i played yesterday with the prospect quality on high, there was 1 elite outside the top 10

[@UmbraSerpents]

oh yea, ive watched: TBL: A. Vasilevskiy, A. Barre-Boulet FOR MNW: A. Stalock, C. Soucy, V. Rask, 5th. This game needs LOTS of Reworking, especially in Franchise Mode

[@brianschlaf7007]

Yes was hoping for a Blackhawks Franchise Mode NHL21!

[@VanBakelll]

In my franchise mode Tampa finished last in the first year.

[@canuckadian4733]

Very excited for any franchise series from you!! Looking forward to the Blackhawks, especially with the big additions. You improved the team quite a lot in 1 year!

[@djgreasybiscuits757]

The scouting hasn't changed. Even in year 3 or 4. You have to manually press on names and scout them. I tried doing the find prospects in assign scout, but I dont know if it works

[@lucifermorningstar3709]

I’ve always auto scouted and I literally don’t have to do anything lol, but with this game for some reason the same thing happened and nobody was scouted

[@chubsbunny2780]

YES THE HAWKS LETS GO

[@reilyfarr1790]

you kinda ignored the fact that luke is now playing with jack in nj

[@tylerjn123]

The potential in drafts are hidden until you interview the players. After an interview you see the potential, I'm not sure why that's like that but I just figured that out the other day

[@crashx7464]

You have ovi you might be able to break Gretzky’s record on the all time list

[@dylanterryphoto]

Tactix out here being like Stan Bo and bringing back former Hawks 😂

[@MrKrumby]

Funny I am currently in season one too trying to make moves. Wasn’t expecting to see you do a hawks video! Thanks!

[@jjbling1231]

The gods have answered my prayers for this series👏

[@bartoszbetlej2810]

LFG MY FAVORITE TEAM

[@neelmehta9069]

Huge Hawks fan, never clicked so fast on a video! Thank you for choosing the Blackhawks!

[@RejecteD_RapteR]

no Ian Mitchell smh lmao but happy to see a Hawks gm mode

[@Jimmy.p3438]

When I saw this my face went from 😐 to 😧🥳🥳🥳

[@brianschlaf7007]

Really liked that Delia trade for the Blackhawks!

[@Takhar7]

"We're rebuilding" *Signs Hoffman, Buff, Ovechkin, Hall in episode 1* I've never lost interest in a franchise mode so early.

[@chris.pelletier179]

Why do I read comments before finishing the video.

[@thecaynuck4694]

He said he'd be okay with going for the cup in the first year. However, the Hall and Ovi free agency signings destroys the point of the next few "rebuilding" years.

[@Takhar7]

@@chris.pelletier179 dont worry, just skip the video. Its dull

[@bananaaduck]

Same. Every single one of his franchise modes have lost me in episode 1 or 2. Rushed and unrealistic.

[@juniorpierre1926]

Mike.hoffman.blackhawks.big.deal.

[@hockey4life96]

Calling it, 2022 Champs and Ovie wins the conn Smythe for the hawks

[@Poldylox]

Tactic please use player search to find players that suit your lines if you get a power forward who suits your 1st line then you will get a plus 5. For each line try and use a PWF SNP PLY to get tons of chem. this will help you grow players

[@nate_freeman18]

Whoever makes your thumbnails for your franchise modes should get a raise. They're sick asf!!

[@jakebennett3064]

I like seeing the 1st round and 2nd round picks with more value. Some teams in NHL 20 would have such low value first rounders which I always traded for because it was worth the risk. This takes that away and makes it more realistic

[@sportskids1541]

I am pumped for this series! Can you please do the Sabres next!

[@Cedisdead]

Great video as always. Just wished you played with injuries on if you still can change it in sliders just put it on a low number so you dont need to deal with changing the lineup all the time. It would bring alot of realism to the save.

[@joez8238]

Awesome to see! Great video! Go Blackhawks

[@randyclement9487]

If you have JBD and Sanderson as created prospects you should add Shane Pinto, he's been sick. Just look at his stats

[@gavinperkins2067]

Ah yes Colorado Avalanche backup Fancoo

[@seansadayasu6937]

Chad Krys is like Chad Chris. His brother was the captain of my school hockey team.

[@LukieVFXistop1]

Yessssssssssssss!

[@calebheal2]

My favorite team, but you gotta add Ian Mitchell. HUGE piece of the defensive future.

Heck yah Tac!!!! Can't wait for more of this series!!

Haha is that not how you say it?

[@cookiescuz1443]

@@TacTixHD I believe so or at least thats how the sports broadcaster say it

I was going to give props to you for having a somewhat realistic franchise mode for onc.... oops nvm, signs Ovechkin in Year 1 UFA.... smh

[@zegrassnipes3206]

This series is going to be truly epic!

[@Gorenj8]

Can’t wait for the update next week for franchise. The mode is really broken right now and it makes it not that fun. If your looking for an actually good mode to play and your at least decent at the game play 3v3 HUT Rush, super fun quick 3v3 games where first goal wins.

[@centralhockey12]

Colin Delia is pronounced Dee-Lee-uh. I only know cuz I graduated from Merrimack and Delia was a STUD for our hockey team, awesome to see him making the blackhawks

[@lilblkhawk1976]

YES

[@Cucuy]

FINALLY THE HAWKS IVE BEEN WAITING

[@PhilliesND5]

If you look at other computer teams, all of them have their 5-on-3 PK centers in the spot labeled as left defense but where center actually should be (and has been in past years), so I'm pretty sure you have Wallmark in the right spot but Toews in the wrong one

[@Takhar7]

Correct. Its a visual glitch. The center stays in the same position as in previous years

[@SamGautreau7]

Loved those free agency signings, I feel like your team could actually do really good next year!

[@ryanpalmer4547]

Man! You picked an awesome team to do this series with!! They are actually in rebuild mode! I hope you are ready to see my comment every few days asking where the next episode is lol

[@griffinstewart3135]

To get a +5 on offence u have to get a better coach and it has to be a sniper, power forward and a playmaker on a line for each line and on defence for a +5 u need to get an offensive d and a defensive d on each line by also looking at the scheme fit for the forward and defence lines for each players Srry it really helps out the sim

[@CharlesN97]

Did you make ian Mitchel? Could have been useful on the hawks

[@tevinwalker2260]

As a Blackhawks fan thank you

[@blatantlybogus2431]

Good goalies really make a difference in playoffs. Sometimes

hey bro listen i love these franchise series and it may seem that your not getting a lot of engagement and views on your channel but i’m telling you rn that u deserve at least 500k subs i can see the amount of effort you put in and your knowledge and your one of the very few popular nhl youtube’s as well man you deserve way more

Sokalov (the 2 way guy u got in free agency) was the best player on the cape breton eagles last year

[@jakebennett3064]

Also, I think you should trade for a better 2nd/3rd pair defensemen if you’re doing good at the deadline . You’ll need it if you want to hoist with toews and Kane!

[@walty_boi6574]

Love u plz do Ottawa next

[@danielbateman5042]

Nice

[@logicali1134]

Why the hell is Trevor Wong so low. In my sims he’s top 10. Did u lower his stats

[@sillytrooper960]

In the pk it's a visual bug left defense is center so put at what you would have last year.

[@irjscats2476]

You have to manually assign scouts to work rn it’s a weird bug that I hope gets fixed soon

[@theoriginalwayno]

I feel like the hawks have a old core but trading Kane and toews there trading a Duo

[@ItsTheJake9]

You should add Pius Suter he’s projected to play for the hawks this season

[@brandon2974]

you can advance day from the contract menu in the resign phase

[@hockeyrhys1472]

you should do your franchise mode more like 2bc he is super entertaining

Dude you missed Trevor Wong in the 4 round and he is a elit high

[@xx_brickmaster_xx1977]

as a hawks fan if this happened I would love it. Ovi, Kane, toews
