*Start your game and select no salary cap and fantasy draft on and no injuries. ( no GM firing if you really want)
*Scroll over potential and hit the button to put the highest potential at the top and begin selecting the best rookies and highest potential players.
*Put your lines how you want them and start Sim'ing
*You will have one or two bad seasons while your players begin to develop but by the third season you will be making the playoffs
*Play when you want but I just simmed to the draft, draft good players and continue simming.
*Try to do some of the easiest GM tasks
If you do these steps it shouldn't be hard, it took me 6 six years and I did 4 seasons in half hour.
P.S I only won one Stanley Cup.
Go into Game Modes > Be a GM. When setting up the settings make sure to turn the salary cap OFF and playoffs are set to one game series. One game series are quicker and usually the better team wins so there's less simulating. Also, turn OFF CPU trades and waivers. Here's the trick, before you select your team (NHL All-Stars RED TEAM) sub out ALL the NHL teams with teams from other leagues that are 68 overall and below. Make sure the team you will be using is set to use the the NHL All-Stars RED TEAM.
Now go ahead and start to sim away (but be warned that you will need to hit a few times to continue sim as you will get messages from your owner), and in this NHL league you will average 62-70 wins per season. Just remember to re-sign your players each off season and within 3-4 seasons you will reach Legendary status and unlock the trophy.
One last thing, when in the playoffs make extra saves in case you happen by chance to lose a game.
NOTE: You can play on rookie mode and set the GM difficulty to rookie mode.
What I did was edit the rosters and take all the best NHL players and put them on the Tampa Bay Lightning. Then when you have to pick your team for Be A GM, I simply swapped out all the NHL teams with DEL, OHL or whatever bad teams I could find. Make sure you set playoffs to “Single Game Elimination.” Now all you have to do is simulate through 3 full seasons. You don’t have to worry about anything as long as you win the Stanley Cup 3 times you are guaranteed to earn enough GM points to get your legend plaque.
PS: you can also try replacing opposing teams with clubs from youth leagues to make it easier for your club to win, but even without this, the trophy is obtained very quickly and easily.
