    I will play. I can't promise my play will be good with a newborn and wife yelling at me, but I'll probably have a decent amount of non working time in the winter anyway.

    Zepp welcome to the wonderful world of "Jesus Christ I can't even take a s**t for 5 minutes without being bothered" it truly is wonderful.

    I went through this GDL XV had my best regular season ever!  Didn't hurt that I had Gretzky Gartner Oates thou to help!

  2. So far have gotten more Yes votes this quickly then I thought, BUT for all the guys that may have come across this, and have been an active player in GDL before, or of your new here, and me, or someone else has talked to you about this league, but your just not interested don't be shy to click on the No response so we know where you stand, and can stop wondering if so, and so has any interest.

    Starting to get hopeful thou that GDL XVII is not an if, but how many coaches as I can think of 4, or 5 guys who haven't responded new, and old that I believe would be interested off the top of my head.

  3. So in 24 hours I got 8 yes votes for interest, and 1 post saying he changed his mind and would play but forgot to vote.  9 coaches with interest in less than 24 hours is probably pretty good considering the ghost town this place was the last few months!  There are also a good handful of new guys that seem like really good buds that are gonna stick, and maybe they would have interest, plus I'm looking at you @TomKabs93 and @kgman01 would really get the level of competition at the top more then adequate, and then if @Premium decides to play so he can take down a past champ, and the Firsr Kof94 winner boom becomes very interesting.  As for kg he said he thinks he will have a real fiber optic connection real soon as his town finally has it available, and TK's internet is choppy when we were both on wifi, but when I wired up it wasn't terrible I've played much worse, and then if he wires up it should be fine so hopefully if this goes down you 2, and Plabax decide to be apart of it, and who knows who else might come out from hiding if they see this happening, yeah I'm talking to you @Uncle Seth @HABS @Zalex and @The Russian Rocket to name a few.

    Good bait, but the only time I registered for Classic since CB check was last season with Boston. I went 18-5 and was scoring nearly 7 goals a game! I definitely wasn't struggling.

    I participated in two other seasons, where I replaced swos for NJ and Carse for CGY.

    Struggling with NJ is obvious.. I don't believe you can win with the Devils. For this reason, my heart wasn't 100% in to it. As for CGY, I played on a setup that sometimes didn't allow me to turn around and go backwards, which is why I lost so many games and finished with poor stats.

    As for the other leagues since the CB check... I have more than everyone else combined :D, and that includes me sitting out!

    Hey we need all the talent we can get I had to try :)

    Basic Problem Solving: What is causing the best players to leave? That's the underlying problem.

    Lack of adequate competition, now when KG gets his home internet service installed since his town finally got fiber optic internet, and Tomkabs wires up his cpu instead of wifi (that wasn't that bad once I wired up), you return, King, and Ice and when they are hot Tex and Brutus all offer adequate competition.  Maybe if some of the other top guys see this competitive again you might even get a handful more to return.  Just my .02.

    I'd like to see @kingraphon the waiting list! 

    @Premium didn't win many classics for reasons unrelated to his actual ability. He doesn't have to prove himself in anyway,

    And Ice on the sign up would be nice.  I disagree Plabax has done nothing but struggle in Classic since the introduction of CB check.

    TBH, the regular season of GDL was pretty boring for the last few seasons.  2-6 people dominating and 18-22 people playing it out.  56 games is a long grind, and somewhat meaningless when the talent pool is so wide.  I have always preferred leagues that group skill level and/or try to balance out skill with handicaps.  

    Drafting is hella fun though!

    Having said that, if we get 24 people who want to play GDL that are new/excited to play, I say go for it!  You're probably going to need closer to 30 to deal with eventual drop-outs.  I don't think I'd play, but I will be happy to help work on the ROM and draft, etc.

    Man seems like your almost on the brink of competitive league retirement unless it's absolutely necessary, shame there isn't enough guys who can play up to your level to keep you interested in the regular season.

    Losing the best of the best in every league is what is hurting this place we don't need new blood as much as everyone thinks, what we really need is the old top level players to return, that is what this place is missing.

    If this game was on the PlayStation network and playable though modern consoles,

    The only downfall to this would be that we would lose the ability to hack the rom, and add in Blitz, and VHL, and ETB, and Plablegs, and well you get the point type roms that is/was the backbone of this site, and if there was no fantasy draft option to do a GDL type league then it would just be classic.  Also they would have to make the Gens controllers compatible via USB with their machines to keep the true experience alive, without all of this it still would not be optimal.  Sucks this is a critical post, and I have no constructive ideas to make everything above happen on a dedicated popular server like PS Network.

    I am interested.  But I feel the way Brutus does, that to be GDL, it has to have a large number of coaches.

    If there aren't enough coaches, I would rather it be a GDL-like league with a different name.

    Yes I agree if we only got like 12 coaches call it like Mini GDL, but regardless I'd like to keep the format, and rules to a traditional GDL.

    Lots of updates to my roms, new roms, and re-released roms.

    Updates to the Original 6 roms, include new player ratings using my new template, updated NLC Lines.
    Updates to 1980 rom includes the new player ratings using template and elimination of 1980 Olympic teams.

    NEW!
    1980 Olympic Rom
    1970 Rom is re-released using new player ratings and improved Splash screens
    Slapshot 2v2 and 5v5 EVEN STEVEN ROM

    The 2v2 in Vegas was awesome, ordered a 4-way play and love playing this new rom with the Chiefs and Bulldogs.
    The 1980 Olympic Rom is designed to be a Solitaire Rom.
    Try to beat the Russians with the USA.
    If you can go for the ultimate challenge and try with Poland, Norway, W. Germany, Holland, Romania, or Japan

    Here are the Splash Screens.

    Wow looks amazing!  Awesome work bud.

  11. Simple yes, or no question.

    Obviosly not till Classic is established, and winding down say maybe Thanksgivingish for a targeted draft start, or Dec 1st.

    If your not in good standing with your Classic participation you would probably be excluded (I'm not saying I'm going to be the commish, but if your not active in Classic I would probably think whoever runs the next GDL should it happen would take that into consideration).

    Well, if you find the IIHF World Championships is the equivalent of the NFL, then we'll just have to stop there.

    I don't, but if the Olympics were not for 3 more years, and the NHL was on another season canceling lock out then yes the IIHF World Championships would be a big deal in the hockey world.

    GDL is the NHL '94 equivalent of the NHL.

    Blitz is the NHL '94 equivalent of the Olympics.

    Classic is the NHL '94 equivalent of the IIHF World Hockey Championships. 

    ------------------------------------------------------------------

    I will never come out of retirement for Classic.

    GDL is like the equivalent of the USFL

    Blitz is like the equivalent of the XFL

    Classic is the equivalent of the NFL

    Why?  Because both GDL, and Blitz are currently belly up while Classic is about to run, and only game in town!

    So we can count you in for the next GDL Mr. Jagr?

  15. I wonder if @Premium will come out of retirement, and give winning Classic a shot, IMO it's the only league he hasn't proven to be the best at, yes he won in 2013 I think, but that was with Detroit, Plabax with Detroit in a classic league is like Raph VS the CPU, it was also pre CB check so that also gives it an * in my mind.

    The guy who won was in Vegas with a buddy who came in 4th, Kevin, I think.  I think he goes by KB27 here, as he has since joined the forum.

    Was he there?

    Dayum, was expecting Tex to at least be in the final.

    The Twitch feed was great.  Hearing the brothers talking was awesome, and then the play-by-play by was great, too!  These two were highly skilled.  As Raph mentioned, the stops and starts, the manual goalie on and off to reset.  Not your average dudes playing in their basement.  Hope they join up here, if they haven't already.
     

     

    Don't think Tex was there.
