One question, how do you guys get the best performance out of your players? I'm not sure if this is entirely possible in my case, because I don't coach games or set up tactics(I'm not that deep into the game).
Reason I ask, is because I had Derek Roy on my Buffalo Sabres. Roy's scouting report continually slated him as a franchise forward, however I never had him consistently over an 8.0 Rating, ever. In fact, the only player I could keep over an 8.0 was Ryan Kesler.(And Miller, but he sort of does that on his own
)Recently I traded Derek Roy away, he needed a new contract, and wanted over 5.5 Million. I simply could not afford this, so I traded him away and slotted in a young promising prospect. 20 games later, I check on Roy and he is averaging an 8.64 with very average linemates!
So back to my question, How can I get the best out of my players? Any and all tips are welcome, I am fairly new at this game, so if there are any tips you remember learning as you picked the game up, I would appreciate them.
