Were you in the Draft league? If so, what team were you, and are you out of the playoffs

Welcome
I loved the uniforms they used for one season in 1997 before they went back to the old logo. I thought the fisherman logo was rather badass at the time

Great job on the hack! Always nice to play with new teams and players
-
I have resumed the project. I've already completed the Islanders and Mighty Ducks in addition to the other teams that are done. If someone would like to host this in-progress hack, IM me on AIM or PM me on here. I'm nearly 50% done

Nice job. Puts my 78 to shame
Gonna have to work harder to catch up to you

So yeah, I was screwing around with my hack, which I'm still doing some work on, and was playing Nashville @ New Jersey as the Devils.
I won 4-3 in OT, but I think I came up with a record amount of hits in a game with 5 minute periods. You be the judge

Okay, here are the general rules for this postseason tournament.
So that each team gets at least 2 chances to advance, this is a double-elimination tournament. When the season is complete, I will put up brackets, and these will be based on points from this season. You have to lose twice to be eliminated.
I will put an example of what the bracket would look like if the season ended today. This does not take into consideration that Vancouver's in the playoffs as of right now.

Well, I've never played anyone on this site before so I don't know how much I'll win or lose. Once i play quite a few games I'll make my decision. I probably will agree to play 82 games. Hopefully though, I won't lose as much as Scott Stevens = God.
The joke about me being bad at this game is an old one. *Don't make me bust you up, n00b.
*** = Don't take that seriously. You'd probably beat me too
-
We have 2 games to play Donch. Sometime tonight, I'll give you the chance to get 2 easy wins for yourself. I'll be playing my backups, since I'm not interested in getting Dougie his 50th goal. Won't have any meaning if it comes in a loss
-
I wouldn't stay for 82, but I'd definitely sign for 30-40 games.
I just can't take all those losses
-
You're in 1st place in the Campbell Conference, backhandfloater. There's no way you won't be in the playoffs.
Nice try though
-
I'd play too, just spot me 10 or 15 wins in advance, since I'm only gonna win what, 5-8 more?

As long as I get a 10-win head start, since I can't beat anyone with any talent
-
I believe you Evan. Sorry if I caused a bit of an uproar because of my concern for low-ability players. I just don't want players feeling the same way I feel sometimes after getting my ass handed to me. I don't want players to be overwhelmed.
-
I'd like to think I'm an advocate for the players of lesser ability, but I feel like I'm getting silenced in this arguement. What most people do not understand is that I'm not talking about myself among the terrible players. I meant awful in the sense that I'm not going to do enough damage in B to satisfy my relatively high standards.
My concern is for those guys (or gals, if they ever come in here) who are going to play in organized leagues for the first time. Their first league experience, unless they are already very good, will be that of many many losses. That's not good for the psyche and confidence, I can attest to that.
However, since my points are not being understood, I'll just stop trying to plead my case. Do whatever you want *shrug*.
-
Playing competitive games is what the spirit of competition is all about. If the players are of equal ability, then it's going to be a very competitive game. There's nothing competitive about a game that's over 3 minutes into the first period because the better player has already scored 4 or 5 goals on an incredibly lesser player. There's no challenge for the elite player who plays against cupcake opposition and scores 20 goals against them. Grouping players by skill allows for more competitive games instead of some of the ones you see in the draft league (most of them involving me).
Understand where I'm coming from in all of this. I still consider myself an awful player, and I don't want players like me to get mangled and embarassed on a regular basis. These kinds of players need to play competitive matches to boost their spirits. Don't you think a player of my ability would want to play if they knew that they had at least a fighting chance to win, instead of knowing that they're going to get smashed?

A "C" league is exactly for that...casual players, new players, and terrible players.
The problem with the low-tier players in the draft league is that most of the time they're getting thrashed. They're basically fighting among each other not to be the worst. Games between them are good, and I'm not throwing anyone in there, just some matchups in general. The lower players like me have only scored upsets a few times this season, I believe. Players like me, I don't think could hang with high B players. That's why I'm pushing for the C league. I don't want to see anyone give up this great game due to being thrashed night in and night out
As for the relegation/promotion...every season, the leagues draw new teams, no? The promoted players would get first pick in A. The relegated players would get first pick in B, then it'd go by last season's standings from the bottom up. The champs get the last pick. If they can win the league with some middle team, they can do it with a low-tier team.
I'm very passionate about the need for a "C" league. I don't want to see players like me feel embarassed about how bad they are and how they would want to quit because they're getting outclassed on a nightly basis. All I'm essentially looking for is a fair shake for my rookie bretheren
-
My sticking point is any promotion/relegation that is implemented. Rookies who join the B league and get shelled will be one and done. The last thing the league needs is to discourage players who, like me, suck, by throwing them right into the fire with good players for them to get shelled 9-0 night in and night out.
-
Not dividing the leagues by skill is a bad idea.
I don't want to join a league and end up get pounded to death every friggin' game. Kinda' takes the fun out of playing when you're losing 10-0 every night.
If anything, we need a "C" league, for total rookies, and terrible players. At least then those guys could win the C league, then jump to B and get destroyed, and guys who finish low in the C league don't get relegated out altogether, thus always giving them a place to continuously hone their skills until they either get good, or give up due to frustration.
-
I like all the stuff you're implementing. Hopefully I can get a shot at joining Gens B, and not end up getting relegated after just one season
EDIT: Filled out an application and sent it in. Hopefully that's the way I had to go about signing up for the next season's league. If not, just ignore it
-
I'm trying. I'm in a bit of a funk right now, that's why I haven't played as much as I would want to. I'm still aiming to have my season done by the end of January. Then I can re-focus on getting better again.
-
I got NHL 2k7, along with other stuff. It's a helluva game, best console hockey game in modern days. Though my money's still with NHL 94
-
New Jersey Devils - Scott Stevens. 'Nuff said.
New York Rangers - The trio of Messier, Gartner, and Tikkanen rules.
Toronto Maple Leafs - Dougie Gilmour. God on skates
