LoganT Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 I've been toying around with this idea ever since I came back and played in Metz's Beer League. For those of you that don't know, Beer League has all the player attributes (speed,shotpower,etc.) set to 0. What I really liked about this is that it slowed the game down a lot and made for some really interesting games, an example being taking a shot from the point (keeping it low, of course) would almost always result in a rebound (because of low goalie stats), which in turn resulted in some garbage goals on rebounds. Now, what i'm proposing is to start a new league taking this concept and expanding on it a bit. The main changes would be: Weight-Bug Fix - One of the best advancements in GENS play was this, and i'd fully intend to have it implemented so goons have their place. Reduced Player Attributes - Every player in 94 would have their attributes reduced by the same amount. By doing this, the best players (Roenick, Bure, etc.) are still the best players; the pace of the game is slowed down. This does also include Goalies, making things like rebounds more likely. There a couple of attributes i'm not sure should be reduced, such as Agility, but this would be figured out later. Besides these, there a couple other things I may or may not implement depending on how it turns out, such as: Reduced Check Speed - I'm on the fence about this, but I think in order to even out the slowed down gameplay, the speed of a check would have to be reduced, ensuring that Bure can't just be caught by any player mashing the check button. Line Changes/Longer Periods - Would only be implemented if there was a majority of the coaches wanting it. I just want to gauge people's interest in this before I work on perfecting the idea. Again, this would be a slower, less "arcadey" game of 94. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceStorm70 Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Great idea Logan but not for me. I prefer 80's coast to coast hockey over the 90's-00's crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donnybrook Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Great idea Logan but not for me. I prefer 80's coast to coast hockey over the 90's-00's crap. couldnt agree more. beer league is painfully slow, the 0'd rating make it so boring. id be interested in a equalized ratings league but only if there were all at 4 or 5 for every player and 6 for goalies. maybe off sides would be cool.

RedWingDevil Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 An alterative I can think of is using all the bench players instead of the star players for all teams. You want to try being the best? Go with the Benchwarmers! Otherwise, it sounds like a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoganT Posted December 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 (edited) couldnt agree more. beer league is painfully slow, the 0'd rating make it so boring. id be interested in a equalized ratings league but only if there were all at 4 or 5 for every player and 6 for goalies. maybe off sides would be cool. I'd just like to say again that I am NOT trying to recreate Beer LG; I agree, it was very slow (although I enjoyed it). The purpose of this league would be to slow it down, but of course it won't be as slow as beer LG. I'm gonna mess around a lot with this in the next little while to find a good balance, so the game is slower but not painfully slower. Also the ratings wouldn't be equalized, they'd be equally lowered for every player, say -1 to speed for everyone for example.
