skip Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) Hey guys, welcome! I am starting the NVL with the idea of having a new ROM of updated players for each NHL season. With 30 teams, deeper rosters and the ability to more accurately rate current players (no thanks, Igor Kuperman), we have a ton of players available for a great player draft pool. Alternatively, there is a deep field of teams to play a team-draft (classic) league. We can do either, but I think it depends on the # of GMs we have for the league. If we have at least 15 GMs, we can do a player draft. If we get less, I suggest we just do a team draft. I suggest this because with less teams, our teams will be totally stacked. WANNA PLAY? Add your name below, and choose a team that hasn't been picked! NEWER GUYS - please create your AIM account and share your name here so I can add you to the chat group (Riboot, Shizzmoney) I attached the current ROM and an excel file with the players and teams. Basics: 40-t0-46 game regular season (depends on conference set-up, etc.). I will not go to 56 games :-) 5 minute periods, no line changes, penalties on/offside off. 10 minute OT. Full playoffs (16 teams, 7-game series) Weight bug fixed Hot/Cold to be accurate in edit lines (all categories hot or cold) 12-round player draft (6 fwds, 4 dmen, 2 goalies) randomized order, snake draft *Trading allowed (limited number of preseason trades/free agent moves allowed). Allowing 5 total moves per GM in pre-season only. General Manager and Team Finalization Date: Friday, November 6th Draft Start Date: Sunday, November 15th League Start Date: Friday, December 4th League Regular Season End Date (Target): Sunday, February 7th January 24th I will end league registration 11/6 and we can begin the player draft/team draft shortly thereafter. If we have a player draft, the list below will be accurate. A team draft will reset the choices here: Let me know if you have any questions. -Skip Edited January 16, 2016 by skip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 To my understanding, Blitz is being replaced by another league already. Anyway, I'll play. Randomize the draft order! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clockwise Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Wish I had time to join this. Always wanted to play in a draft league with current rosters; planned to do that with pixelpuck but never had the time. Good luck with it, Skip.

HABS Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 i think 56 games is a bit daunting... Even GDL with some very reliable and top notch coaches has trouble finishing all games in a season. 40-44 gms? Also player draft like GDL? Please clarify... or are we using current NHL club rosters?

CoachMac Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Good Luck with this league Skip, However I would like to point out that 12 of 22 B League coaches missed the first deadline of 8 GP in a week and 12 of 16 A League coaches. I don't think we need MORE leagues I think we need leagues with MORE participation. That said I will also be starting my 92 and Original 6 Leagues shortly.

skip Posted October 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 UPDATE: Chaos will create it if we have the interest. So far, 14 people are interested. I am updating the initial post with the prospective rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceStorm70 Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Hey Skip, are you essentially using Blitz 11 code for this rom? If not, what fixes are not going to be in this rom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip Posted October 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 This is Clockwise 30-team ROM with Smoz hacks applied. Weight Bug Fix is in play but there shouldn't be anything else added from Blitz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallywojo Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Hi Skip, i am going to have to back out due to I am over committed with Classic for both systems, blitz, SDL, and an offline league. Good Luck, I hope this succeeds and maybe in the next season if a space is available i will join. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope to get you in at some point. And, you're right about the missed games, absolutely. Also - I'd love to join one of your leagues if you have an opening :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ba55i5t Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Is there any word on whether there will be a classic version of this league or not? I would be interested in joining, and assisting in making that happen in any way possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mav Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Is there any word on whether there will be a classic version of this league or not? I would be interested in joining, and assisting in making that happen in any way possible. There was a classic version of the lg using updated rosters and such but that went defunct. As for this lg you gotta either wait for next season or you can hope to replace someone in the lg if someone quits or gets booted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
