Team losing form after Christmas

Post by Franck »

Is it just me or does your team always start to loose form after Christmas? It has happened to me in every save I've had on EHM so far.

That happens to me probably half of the time. I think the AI teams are finally catching on to our tactics and so they adjust accordingly. I always try and change up the lines and tactics, but that doesn't usually help.

Can't say I've seen this happen at all.

Though, I do always see at least one of my best players get injured leading up to big games... ...but that's a story for another time. ;)

Three reasons for this:

1. Practice regime too intense for some players, so they are tired and have weaker performances.(As mentioned above)

2. Tactics--Others catching up (As mentioned above)

3. Dog days. If your team is like mine and leading the league by a wide margin. They are bored, and waiting for playoffs already. I generally give a couple days off practice, change up my lines a bit, and then play everyone an equal amount of time in games..inluding pp and pk, by changing who is on them in between periods. I find it works well for them to try things different for a very short period.

i've had it happen a couple time. though lately it seems like my Coyotes team starts really slow (like below .500 or near .500 the first half of the season) and afterwords get on a roll and finish like 2nd-4th in the standings.

Now my AHL team usually decides to start losing around that time.
