  1. Just started playing 2v2 yesterday for the first time, lots of fun. I'll join in for exhibitions if anyone needs an extra player. Also looking for any 2v2 tips and advice I can get - so if anyone has time to help show out your skills, I'd appreciate it.

  2. Trade Alert:

    The Connecticut Praying Mantis (CT) have agreed to trade D Kevin Bieksa to the Winterfell Whitewalkers (WFL) for D Kimmo Timonen. In addition to the player swap, they have also agreed to swap picks in Rounds 8 and 12.

    As a result of this trade, these are now the following picks:

    Round 8: 175 (CT) 184 (WFL)

    Round 12: 271 (CT) and 280 (WFL).

    Now back to Round 7...

  4. I agree, which is why I started a voice chat thread under Locker Room.

    I have tried using Mumble with Dragon and it worked great. I'd like to try it out with some other players via exhibitions etc and see what others think.

    A few reasons I chose Mumble over Skype: It's less personal and you don't have to use your real name, you can connect to multiple servers, Mumble is less of a resource hog and bandwidth hog than Skype, and Skype doesn't have a push to talk key like Mumble to prevent you from broadcasting continuously.

  5. Dragon and I just played our 2 survivor league games using Mumble, and it was pretty cool. Playing from USA to France we had no noticeable lag at all. I think it has some potential good uses and wouldn't mind playing either a league game or exhibitions with it again. It was nice to get to chat about the game a bit and throw in some commentary instead of feeling like I was playing a robot who types back. It also helped when I was trying to host a game and it wouldn't let me, as I was able to let him know what I was trying to do to troubleshoot and when for him to attempt to join instead of him just waiting in the dark for me to type out responses.I could see a definite use for it in a 2v2 to communicate with your teammate.

  6. I totally know what you mean Robbie. There are just certain times or matchups whether against another player or CPU where the game just totally goes against you. Cannot shoot or pass accurately, and your players are either over pursuing then being always late to react by a second or simply just in the wrong spot whether it be 5 on 5 or a PP situation. It is annoying at times, but yet impressive that a game from that era adjusts on the fly and has these little wrenches they throw at you. I have had some games vs the CPU where they literally shoot 8/8 with 100% accuracy and you just know a certain shot is a going to be a goal even before it has left the stick.
