  7. How would you rate NHL94.com and NHL94online.com's customer service?

    in General NHL'94 Discussion

    Posted

    I voted 10 for customer service as I feel you guys do a great job with responding/moderating the forums. My only suggestion, as mentioned before, is some better organization. After getting used to the forums, I can follow the logic and navigate through with no real problems, but it does take some time getting used to. I just feel there may be a better way to organize it. Wish I could provide a better suggestion, but I haven't thought about it enough. Still, GREAT job guys.

  8. GENS B1 AND B2 FINAL STANDINGS

    in General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by kingraph

    I was thinking about this for a while too. I'm sure determining the mix between really good (weak A, good B ) players and newbies is difficult. I can see the reason for trying to group players by skill level, but a little mix is beneficial too. For example, the bottom rung of "A" players and the top rung of "B" players seem to be at the same level (depending on how you categorize, I've played both). They will do well in B, but not so well in A. However, and I think you'll agree, playing against "A" caliber players is the best way to learn and grow. I'm sure the same is true for lower-ranked B players who play the best in B.

    It seems to me, a new person who joined this classic season, that the Spring'10 season was best organized by skill level. It had the A B C divisions and that makes sense. There's definitely an "elite" level of players out there (A) who will beat any good B player consistently, those who are really good ( B ) players who can occasionally win an A. And the newbie level of C players and other players who can't improve in B. Looking at the standings, the player divisions seem correct. Most of you A leaguers all know each others' skill level at this point and would agree with the divisions (with the occasional gripe).

    As someone who took over Winnipeg in the middle of the season for the A division this year, I got to play against a bunch of A players (as well as exhibitions) and I learned the most from playing people better than me. (in my defense, I also managed to win a few games). Now that I'm hooked on '94 again, my goal, as is Comeback's and all other '94 addicts, is to get into that A league and compete with the best of them! However, the only way to get better is to play the best.

    At the end of the day, I don't know what is best -- skill parity or mixing it up. Pros and Cons for both.

    Either way, major kudos to Chaos and Halifax for organizing this league. It's not easy, and you guys do a great job. Simply said, this is f'in awesome. I'll be back next season for sure.

  13. Dallas Stars

    in Building Lines with AJ

    I got Dallas for my rookie season in the Spring'11 classic, I was happy because I love SPEED! I always felt Dallas was a stronger team than indicated by the ratings, particularly with no line changes.

    I flip-flop with Modano at center (with Courtnall and Broten on wings). One thing to mention is when Modano is at Center, you can throw Courtnall, the only reliable righty, on the LW. As you mentioned, he has enough juice in his shot to slap it in with some consistency. However, as I quickly found out, most of the players in this league are pretty adept at manual goalie, and those slappers get stopped easily. The other reason I like Courtnall on the wing is his speed allows him to get a quick chance at a goal right from the faceoff.

    Thanks for the write-up, great as usual.

  18. Did STAN1SH take over Boston in GENS B-2?

    in General Discussion

    I saw that too today, I don't know. But I thought this Stanish guy is a level 'A' player now with Boston. So I don't know how fair this is going to be. The noobs are going to get TROUNCED. Whatever, I just want to have fun win or lose. I'm kinda disappointed, I relish the shalakings I dish out to Wags.

    I guess it doesn't affect me now as I played Wags as Boston for our 1 and 1. However, I'm looking forward to getting TROUNCED in the playoffs (assuming I make them)
