Snerlord Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 So after spending the nearly 4 weeks going for the Greatness Trophy. I thought I'd share some tips or pointers I learned along the way.So when I started this. I was Originally playing for Fun. Like most. Then I went for Trophy Case. Which was Pretty Easy. To Speed things up (Because 82 games + Playoffs is a lot)I would recommend. Only playing the first period or until you get a Hat Trick, which is pretty Easy on Rookie. Then sim the remaining of the game.9/10 you will win. Doing this will get you 246 Points (+ whatever you get during the Sim). Which is enough to win the Calder Trophy. Doing the same in the Playoffs will also get you to the Stanley Cup. If you ever get to an Elimination Game. I'd recommend playing it, so you wont be knocked out of the playoffs. Also I'd recommend playing the final game in the Stanley Cup. Doing so will Pop Trophy Case, The Franchise.Now the fun part.Simming 24 season until the Year 2045-46. Which will take 12 hours alone. Each season takes about 30-40 mins. Just because of all the conversation you have during the season. During this Stage I would play one game during the season. Typically the first game of the Season. Play Full 20 mins Periods, Set the Gameplay sliders in your Favor, go to town.( this gets boring fast) I would Average 40 Points a game for my player. Simming the remainder of the season would typically net me another 80-100 points. Ending each Season with 120-140. Do this until the Final season 2045-46 at this point you should have a around 2750 points. Just about 100 away from 2857. I then would Sim until the final month of the season. there you will be close. Play one or two more games and Greatness is yours. Finish simming the season and you will also get Golden Years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djb5f Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Thanks for the tips. I am doing the same trophies for NHL 21. I’ve been playing 3-minute periods on Easy with sliders in my favorite and probably average 20 points a game. I simmed the rest of the first season after 30 games or so and did not get much. I’ve done another ~25 games in the second season so have over 1000 points. Sounds like that is enough to sim the rest. I was not sure if once you got old, they cut your minutes or force you to retire or drop to minors. But if you can go to Season 24, that sounds promising. Too bad the simming is so slow.

Ryudoz Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Hey I'm playing 23 and was wondering if I could apply these tips. Could you clarify. 1) Season 1 - Play game until 3goals and then sim 2) Win Playoffs 3) Sim 24 seasons 2045 (1game a season - 40pts) 4) Final season make sure you are at 2500+ 5) Play/sim as needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I however haven't tried it. because this was just a drag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard from several people that it can happen randomly between seasons 20-23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guy retired after 23 seasons. Some ppl have retired in less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
