FAKE TOUGH GUY ALERT

Naah.. As long as i play online.. Shes good with it.. Lol

[Marvie_3]

Defensemen need to start paying more attention to where the opposing players are. We're getting killed by guys getting behind everyone.

[Delryk]

Well that was a terrible start. Dont think ive ever played that bad... Template was too slow to keep up. Need to change.

[moop1167]

hopping on in a few

[wsoxfan1214]

Same. Would be awesome if others hopped on.

[Red_Man]

I'm on

[Delryk]

So i changed to an Off.Def to have more overall speed/acceleration. At 95 for each right now.. Guessing its not worth going to 99... Or is it?

85 seemed to be fast enough in dropins but after 3 games with u guys I felt so freaking slow.

Acceleration does nothing so those are all wasted points. Do something like this:

Athleticism

Acceleration - 65
Agility - 93
Balance - 79
Durability - 60
Endurance - 95
Speed - 90
Strength - 90

Wow. Really? no wonder they revamping top speed and stuff in nhl13...

I'll check it out after work. Thanks for the tip. Anything else i should know? Other than me being a twit.

Discipline doesn't really do anything. Shot blocking is completely unnecessary as well.

[wsoxfan1214]

For real?

And I'm also convinced aggressiveness does something.

[Marvie_3]

Aggressiveness apparently makes you check harder and intimidate the opponent more but hitting/intimidation are all broken anyway.

Take your WSA/WSP down to about 80-85. Put more in Passing/Puck Control. Deking at 95 is kind of a waste too.

Aggressiveness: 70 Body Checking: 75 Defensive Awareness: 99 Discipline: 70 Faceoffs: 76 Fighting Skill: 50 Shot Blocking: 90 Stick Checking: 99

Get rid of all these. The shot blocking stat only effects how fast your player recovers after a shot block/block attempt. It doesn't increase your ability to block shots.

Acceleration: 75 Agility: 80 Balance: 83 Durability: 60 Endurance: 91 Speed: 95 Strength: 80

This look pretty close. Don't need any points in accel and balance is higher than you need.

[wsoxfan1214]

I've actually noticed a difference with picking corners after I put it up in the 3-4 games I've played since. I also need all of the help at deking I can use. I can maybe take it to 90, but I noticed a big difference in hitting corners after putting WSA/WSP up to 90. They only went up past it after putting a few boosts to a higher value anyways.

Get rid of all these. The shot blocking stat only effects how fast your player recovers after a shot block/block attempt. It doesn't increase your ability to block shots.

And put it into what? There's nothing else useful there. AGG is useless. Body checking is too. DA is maxed. Discipline is broke. I rarely take faceoffs and don't win when I do anyways. Fighting skill is a no, and SC is 99.
Not to mention I despise when my player does the leg squeeze shotblock shit.

This look pretty close. Don't need any points in accel and balance is higher than you need.

Again, put it into what? Lol. Accel is useless past 70, Agility is eh. Balance is fine because I hate being knocked down. Durability is useless. Endurance gets me through periods at 90. Speed is high enough. Strength is for slapshots.

[Marvie_3]

Since you're a RW, having a higher faceoff stat would help when the C is in the penalty box.

Agility. Strength helps with your ability to hit and resist being hit. It's not as useless as you make it sound. Put your player weight up to 275 and take your balance down. You won't notice a difference.

Ffff. I'll try it after this. I hate tweaking builds.

[Red_Man]

Probably going to be done soon as well, hit 1,000 points, have a banner, not much else to play for.

Anyone going to be on around 11?

[Delryk]

I always pictured Vis as a less terrifying version of the cryptkeeper



I'll be up for games tonight if we get some others on.

Add a few fake gold chains and a big puffy coat that Viz wears even when its 90 degrees outside and I think you've got it right.

[Delryk]

Games tonite?

[Showstopper]

What do you guys want to do in the future??

Do you want to be a competitive team and be in the top 200 of the elite division or do you want to be laid back and play the game as is? I know what I wanna do. I want to be competitive just like I was before I joined the team. I've come to realize that over the few months I've played with GAF. But you guys make that decision for yourselves because right now you're floating somewhere in between. I mean you have guys that wanna win and you have guys that don't care and log on every night just because EASHL is fun.

From what I've seen thus far, I can tell you all that there is definitely potential here but its being held back by several things. Lets go over some of them:

GMs - You have GMs on this club with less than 15 games played. GMs I've never seen before in the few months I've played with GAF.

Goalies - You don't have a goalie on this team but you have people like myself and maybe others that have their legends and that are willing to play the position. What's the reason behind not playing with the goalie when it's a well known fact that you get 3x as many points when you play with a goalie??? What do you have to lose here??

Rage Quitting - I remember specifically one game when we were down 3-0 and one of our players left the game. Dropped the F bomb and left. We ended up wining that game 4-3. Lesson here is, don't give up. If you have the human players, fight it. See what happens.

Players - These are the top players on the club

Aces
Viz
Marv
Vieirak
Nozdeuse
Legit

And maybe these two but its been awhile since I've seen them play:

Milly
Zsswimmer

The rest of the players I either haven't seen or I've seen them but they're not on the same level as the players mentioned above. That's my 2 cents fellas. To those that feel offended, feel free to prove me wrong or even better, let that be your motivation to get better and become a leader. I've been there, I've done that.

[ph33nix]

If you're going to pretend to be the leader of this club you should at least have the balls to call out people by name.

[CB3]

Serious business happening here.

This league needs some competition. Come NHL 13...

[Marvie_3]

Hey, show got approved finally!

GMs - You have GMs on this club with less than 15 games played. GMs I've never seen before in the few months I've played with GAF.

The GM title doesn't really mean anything.

Goalies - You don't have a goalie on this team but you have people like myself and maybe others that have their legends and that are willing to play the position. What's the reason behind not playing with the goalie when it's a well known fact that you get 3x as many points when you play with a goalie??? What do you have to lose here??

I'd love to play goalie but playing it has gotten progressively worse since NHL 10. Controls have gotten worse since then and saves I would have easily made in 10 get past me for no reason in 12. Maybe the position will be fixed in NHL 13 and I can go back to playing in net.

Rage Quitting - I remember specifically one game when we were down 3-0 and one of our players left the game. Dropped the F bomb and left. We ended up wining that game 4-3. Lesson here is, don't give up. If you have the human players, fight it. See what happens.

That was probably me.

[wsoxfan1214]

.

I've played with you three times and maybe one has been at the position that I usually play (RW). I scored three goals, so I'm not sure how that's below your threshold. If you're going to blanket statement everyone, at least wait until you've played enough games with them at their usual position before you make them out to be a below average player. I play D with you because we usually don't have enough defenseman and people won't play with one.

[Red_Man]

Shows finally approved? Can't wait for the "tali is a slut" at the end of every post

[Marvie_3]

Better leave this here just in case.
