THL (PS3) Team History

I won't be participating. I dropped a couple of weeks ago due to certain reasons.

100% unacceptable.

i seen that, just wanted to tag ya to make sure. thanks for the response.

i wouldn't be against that, but, the Gm Connected gives us an option to play a way we never could before and thats using Hardcore settings. the normal style is still way to much tape to tape.

the happy medium could be pro/hardcore. thats what we are using on the 360 side of things until guys settle in with passing. then bumping to allstar/hardcore later in the year.

also, we turned off injuries, bc of each team losing guys for 40 plus games. yes injuries are part of the game but they are way over done in this mode. waivers, are turned off also, bc they dont work correctly. this can be turned back on once a season starts if EA fixes it in a patch.

trades are on, but rules etc are in place on 360 side. same goes for FA pick ups.

its nice to have some sort of management over your team, even calling up guys from minors to try different lineups.

regardless if we go Gm Connected or even old forum style via League Republic, who is in? either way we need to know.

hopefully we hear from more guys throughout the next few days.

I'm in

I am in,

And vote to just continue with the season we have going.

To be honest I have 0 interest in going back to the system we used in NHL 12

I'm in, I'd like to use gm connected. I think injuries off is a good idea as well

I'll play, but only if we stay on GM connected; and if we want a restart I want a chance to pick a new team. No piont in forcing people to stay with the team they are if everything gets wiped out.

In for whatever happens but would prefer not to start over.

actually some pretty good reasons to start over... but like i said above, i understand completely in wanting to stick with it.

Just by looking at the responses so far, although there are some good reasons starting over would not be a good decision.

im trying to get this league on the right track. if that means starting over, so be it.

i see one person dead set against starting over.

if the majority of the other guys would feel the same way, we might consider not starting over.

if we do start over and we lose an owner or two, nothing we can do about it. just hope that in the future they may want to return.

i'm in, wholeheartedly. should i go to the xbox page to look at the trade rules, or are those going to be provided once everyone responds? the only reason i don't want to restart is because i have done alot in terms of roster work, but i am ambivalent.

just want some solid TSO work.

Hey guys, you're my opponents this week. I'm free tonight post football game, all morning/afternoon Friday, late night Friday and Saturday, all day Sunday.

Ill be on after football game

That's what I'm saying; my schedule doesn't permit me to get on NHL every day. I have large blocks where I can play, but complete admin duties aren't for me. That's why I only offered to be a secondary commish at the start.

If someone would offer to be full-time commish, I think that'd be great, but I think we need someone beyond just advances...we need enforcement of policies such as monitoring forum activity/unplayed games, trade rules, etc.

stuff will be posted here once we get a head count.

why? bc of all the guys that signed up guess how many applied for the commish job? 2.

one cant do it no more and the other cant commit to anything other than advancing the schedules, accepting trades etc. which is fine.

so as long as we have a guy like that and even another in due time. i will then handle the forum stuff, monitor the scheduling thread.

I am gonna go ahead and put this out there:

First of all I don't think this league is all that broken and I don't think it requires a full wipe and restart. With that said I do think some changes could stimulate this leagues success and improve enjoyment for all its members. Now of course we are not all going to agree with each others suggestions on what changes are necessary ( eg. Time period, waivers, injuries, ect). But for those who still want to be a part of this league I suggest you put forth some suggestion on what changes you would like to see made. I'll start.

1. I would like games vs computer to be easier. Why? This way every one has a shot of making the playoffs, it will help direct the focus of the league to player vs player games and away from the inflated need to preform well against the ai teams. It will also encourage people to get their games in on time since user will realize they will preform better then there ai replacement.

2. Everyone should be required to enable there ai control. HOWEVER, users are only allowed to play another users ai on the last day before the advance and if the game cannot be reasonably scheduled. This way users do not take advantage of another users ai team.

3. I have no problem with the way trading is set up now, nor do I have any issues with the current advance schedule.

4. I don't mind injuries and waviers being on as it adds an interesting dynamic to the game, even if they are unrealistic or inaccurate. I think everyone has worked around it just fine so far. But I would not care if these features were disabled.


As I said before these are suggestions, ideas that would make the game more exciting for me. I am just trying to brainstorm her and I encourage you all to do the same thing. There is no one śure fire way torun a league, so lets try and find one that maximizes the benifit for as many users as possible.

Just my 2 cents.

I'm in, definitively

G_T_G If you think there needs to be a more involved commissioner I dont see you offering up any suggestions as to what we should do. I dont have any problem with Fiddy14 stepping in and helping run the forums, that helps split the job. Does anyone know if two people can have commissioner control on GM connected? That would be the most beneficial I feel but if not and rschwep feels he doesn't have the time, I'd like to throw my name in that discussion since no one else has stepped up.

Also, I somewhat agree with oilerplanet in the sense that the league really isn't that broke, we just need to police some issues and we should be fine. I do not think the CPU needs to be dumbed down, I feel like you somewhat contradicted yourself by saying you wanted easier CPU games but then didnt want to get rid of injuries. I know for me, ridding of injuries and waivers would really help because you know you can have a consistent lineup and would help eliminate the need for an easier CPU opponent. The CPU can't just be a cake walk because it almost defeats the whole purpose of doing GM connected. It eliminates the whole concept of sim gaming as well. If we are just going to be basically play games that matter against users then we might as well just come back on the site. Does anyone know if there is record of user-user games or user-cpu games available? I guess we have the schedule redwings8831 made but I dont want to give him any extra work. I think at the end of the season that would be something to look into and make a decision for next season.
