Come to Jasper at the end of September. Kickass hockey tournament is going down. And I want to win so if I list you as a 'buddy' you'll be on my team. I figure then with me and various other former teammates we can roll all these rec guys

Ty

how do you guys want to do this?

this is what i'm thinking.

commish - desi

gm - all of us including desi

we manage our teams and play or sim.

no eashl type thing where we only control one player.

regular team rosters, no randomization.

82 game schedule, standard playoff format.

salary cap on.

pretty much current nhl rules.

rule #1. do not reject any pvp trades.

rule #2. discuss with others for player vs ai trades. in nhl 12 i was able to do gomez, a 2nd and 4th for crosby.

none of that poop if that's still in the game.

We'll have to see. It still isn't clear to me if the league will have only teams chosen, or if we can include the whole NHL with the unpicked teams as CPU.

The GM mode thing is cool, but to be completely honest, would love to find a league that we could join as our EASHL club. To be able to play as W0fnud in a league would be fantastic.

apples, if you are going to question everything I do (that I haven't even done), then you run the (frank)ing league.

i have run a few fantasy leagues with veto power and unless it was something completely off the wall, there is no worries.

I went into Operation Sports to check out some stuff. They have dudes working on the game from EA that post there and I got this from them. I don't think it'll be an issue for you.

This is how it works...this will be a long post and I apologize...

GM Connected uses the real NHL schedule. To play the games, the commissioner selects a "tick length," which can be anywhere from 3 days to 2 weeks. The length of this tick represents an actual portion of the NHL schedule. So when you enter your GM Connected, you will see all the games your NHL team has scheduled in real life as playable during that tick.

So for example, let's say I'm the Flyers, and the commissioner sets the league tick for 2 weeks. The first time I start my GM Connected as Philly, I will see all their games on the first two weeks of the schedule, let's say October 11-25.

THU OCT 11, 2012 BRUINS
SAT OCT 13, 2012 ISLANDERS
THU OCT 18, 2012 PENGUINS
SAT OCT 20, 2012 JETS
THU OCT 25, 2012 FLYERS


Now the game will indicate whether these teams are human or AI controlled, and I can play them in any order. So if the GM of the Penguins is on but the Bruins guy isn't, I can still play my game against the Penguins even though it isn't "next" on the schedule.

The length of time for advancing the tick will be informal and vary league by league. So let's say your league decides that you will advance your schedule every REAL 5 days. So you have 5 days to play all your league games and once the commish advances, any unplayed games will be simmed. The schedule will then change to October 26-November 9, and you will have all your team's games from those two weeks available to play in the next five days, and so on.

So, I think we should go week long "ticks (NHL portion of the schedule)" and have a real life week to do it. This will advance the season like the NHL. It appears I will be able to advance at anytime during the week, so if all games are played, we can advance early.

no i trust you. it really depends on who will be on more often. likely will be you.

btw all teams in the league, so those that aren't human controlled are cpu controlled. 30 teams.

yeah. it should work well for you.
