hey y'all.
over the nhl game has made its way to the 'nex-gen' console, i have approached dynasties a little different. before i would make myself a 99, put myself on the canucks. and try to stack my team. and win. but that's not very fun to do as as 23 year old anymore.
what i have been doing is taking a different approach to the franchise mode/dynasty which really took off last season when i made the 'be-a-gm profiles'. last year i would try and build the team based on how the real life GM would. that was fun sure.
but this season i've found that if i try to play a dynasty i'll usually acquire the same kind of players. draft the same guys. and then quit before season 2. i need something more.
so this season i am taking my dynasty experience to a whole new level. basically i created a dynasty manager page for my dynasty. once i got it all set up i decided to take a team at random (new york islanders) and try to think of a storyline which i could play out all year. and i came up with one. i usually do this to an extent with every franchise/dynasty i start, especially in MLB games but i think it's going to be different this year.
i'm a handful of games in, having played some and simmed some, give it a read if you are looking for something like this to follow and cheer me and my islanders squad as we try to get the light house project started.
