TESTING THE DRAFT - NHL 19 - Franchise Mode Commentary

Its finally here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have my 10 hour trial for NHL 19! First thing I had to do was checkout the draft!
Let me know what you thought!!

[@mhummel2009]

I really like your NHL franchise videos. The occasional swearing cracks me up. Just hoping my toddler doesn’t start repeating you. Haha

[@MrBO55]

I've watched a lot of your previous draft videos man, and they've helped a ton! I've been finding Med Elite 70 overall players in the late rounds, players who have a ton of trade value, and who end up being in the lineup in later years. I used to just sim the entire draft after like the first 3 rounds, but thanks to your vids, I choose every pick; and even find myself trading for other teams 7th rounders just so I can snag up a guy who looks decent Keep up the great content man, very under appreciated channel!

[@jacobknowles129]

Yeah boiiiiii, I was wondering if you'd be back for 19! Onwards to 2044

[@pinto6174]

I love how they added a bust feature

[@watergunkaiden2141]

Man hate having to find out in past games that sucked

[@sttrogdor93]

Eddy can't scout to save his goddamn life.

[@Ante3118]

Something that really gets annoying and that would be so easy to fix is the names of the players from smaller countries all being english names. Like all the norwegian, polish and slovenian players being called Joe Smith, Lee Weston etc. Really detracts from the realism of the game.

[@fernmccreary2729]

cashtheyen obviously this also every eastern euro is black after 2030 which I like

[@AD-poop_]

Keep the fog of war and just click overalls on

[@jeffboggess5613]

when there are 4 bars next to the binoculars, the potential is exact

[@nwerk5157]

Mortiz Seider was projected 3rd round in this video, he went 6th overall tonight

[@Caps4Life99]

If they list a player as a gem, he is definitely going to be better than most around the area where he'll be picked. Likewise if a player is a bust don't pick him, at least not anywhere near where CS has him ranked.

[@emiltangen9205]

FUCK YEAH YOUR BACK I AINT DEPRESSED I FKING LOVE YOUR SHIT

[@Suko620]

If you go into settings and turn on potential you can keep off of war on but then when someone gets drafted it shows their overall. That way you can look back to see who got steals from a potential standpoint

[@konrad6047]

Really hope they fixed the player growth so the low overall players with good potencial doesn't just end up with 99 skating, defence and handeye while still having terrible other stats

[@MattWic]

From just one season I've had guys grow so much!!! One dude who I took 4th overall went from 70 to 77 in one season! Seems better across the board. Quality playing time is huge though

[@paulinieminen9083]

No need for fog of war in this run imo

[@alexandredaigle8479]

Fingers crossed it trends like last year

[@rileyduggan945]

Keep it how it is for this “season” and then do season 2 where you can see everything

[@Catfi5hB1lly]

What was the goalie you drafted rated as?

[@UchihaItachi1986]

I'm very interested to know if draft eligible players will actually grow before being drafted.

[@paulinieminen9083]

11:01 High starter goalie

[@Gooseman8819]

Holy shit lol wow he missed bad

[@Gooseman8819]

11:04 *

[@golfer435]

I drafted a 57 overall high starter potential in the second round of my first draft. He is currently 85 overall for the Zurich Blades who are down 3-2 going into game 6 of the 2024 Cip Final.

[@tacoflavouredkisses4336]

I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE A ANOTHER YEAR OF BLANK PORTRAIT FOR DRAFT PROSPECTS EA ! I JUST CAN'T TAKE !

[@mrmorhouse]

I've got a question for all you guys, have you experienced a player being injured one season as a 85 overall. And coming back as like a 79. Not being upset morale wise just being an overpaid douche in the middle of their prime? I had a guy he was 86 overall, got injured came back in the off season as a 79. Never got back up. And he was only 28? Like wtf is that a new thing? I've played alot of franchise since like 2011 and never seen that.

[@MattWic]

I normally turn injuries off so I haven't seen this. Sounds pretty cool though! Happens in real life. Guys get hurt and sometimes are never the same

[@kmbizzy881]

CBJ WILL WIN THE CUP IT IS NOT FAR FETCHED..... love ur vids

[@ChiTownGangster]

You missed a med franchise

[@alexmacdonald9344]

Why not just do a series containing regular drafts and another containing fog of war gm modes? Give a little something towards both play types.

[@MattWic]

Yeah that's what I'm gonna do. Should be fun

[@colbkam8268]

Draft a Pollack

[@MattWic]

He gonna play the polka in the locker room?

[@ThePeteAndDallasShow]

The only thing that really deters me from playing this mode is the generic black silhouette for the prospects. By the time you reach 8 years or more into the league, almost all players' profiles is the same generic silhouette. Can't even identify players anymore. At least try to do it how Madden does it with their prospects.

[@MattWic]

Yeah I agree that would be nice. I guess I've just blanked it out at this point cause it's been that way so long. I do play at least one game and go into the instant replay and look at each guy. Kind of like putting a face to the name lol Try it!

[@UchihaItachi1986]

Why do your scouts have a guy ranked 28th if they think he's a bust?

[@MattWic]

I think how it was explained by EA is that the scout thinks he's a bust for what Central scouting thinks. So if a guy is 20th ranked and he's a bust it means your scout thinks he should be 30th+ ranked

[@jayvyas1677]

This is so stupid so unrealistic Canucks never win a draft lottery

[@thetallestpenguin7921]

Jay Vyas they never win in real life so pretty realistic

[@UchihaItachi1986]

There gonna win it next June and unite Quinn and Jack.

[@jayvyas1677]

I wish

[@canadian__ninja]

The number of fake players in even the first draft is depressingly large. EA being EA.

[@alexandredaigle8479]

Turn off fog of war for this series for sure

[@Blackhawks_]

Almost every video it’s Fix ur sim Ea lmfao

[@guillaumeparr2104]

The new menus are really a downgrade from the previous years, looks like 2010, really not a fan of the lack of colours, but it doesn’t really matter because fog of war is the best thing they could do to franchise mode!

[@MattWic]

I like the darker theme! Just so much clutter...

[@guillaumeparr2104]

I feel like it’s gonna grow on me, it’s just that right now it’s so different from what we had in previous years, but we’ll get used to it
