Over the centuries we have had to admit that EA Sports was able to stand out and innovate in its advertising concepts to be attractive to fans of the franchise NHL.

Still, the most seasoned players will have no hesitation in saying that the publicity stunts and physical enhancements came at the expense of playability. (style of play) in general, which has not evolved enormously in recent years.

Despite everything, year after year this sports franchise remains one of the most anticipated franchises for fans in Quebec and Canada.

The moderator and sports journalist of the ball curve as well as RDS, Michael LapriseHe took advantage of madness Connor Bedard and his love of the EA Sports NHL franchise for simulating multiple seasons while highlighting the future absolute first choice in the next draft to see how many career points he would earn.

The goal is to beat the unbelievable record of Wayne Gretzky from 2857 Career Points, Laprise allowed himself some madness by modifying (light) its orientation.

“Ever since I was young, I’ve simulated seasons in different versions of the EA Sports NHL game. And every year, even if I have the best player (real or fictional) on the planet on my team, his career stats show I always end up light years ahead of Wayne Gretzky. Season after season, my best scorer is always around 100 or 110 points. Reaching 2857 points is impossible even if you simulate an entire career.”

So he decided. to bring the Regina Pats forward on all lines and on all special teams. As mentioned above; a…small…change!

“My first season simulated? OK. Let’s not talk about it. Nothing special. But when it came time to draft, I gave my all to get Connor Bedard selected. I gave him the number 16. Why not? 98? Because that’s how it is.” the number he had with Team Canada Junior. And it’s MY team. MY franchise. However.”

With this strategy, Laprise allowed his star player to get the playing time he needed, so he racked up at least 225 points a year.

However, after simulating several seasons, Connor Bedard eventually broke the record Great thing during the season 2036-37aged 31 Years.

Unfortunately, since EA Sports is EA Sports, there was no description of the pivotal moment when Bedard broke the record. Added a simple celebration animation to the game with all teammates.

Nevertheless, a picture of the new record holder was presented later in the session.

In short, for many newcomers to EA Sports and the game NHL 23, all those simulations would have been a waste of time. However, the most experienced players will love to hear what happens when a player achieves the unthinkable by beating a hockey legend’s record!
