We should be getting more people in the VS league closer to the date, and like VS said, if we're going to be responsible for playing a lot of games it might be better to only have 10-15 people anyways.

Pittsburgh in the Versus league, please.

Fuck me I thought I had read in one of these threads that the demo was already out. Tried to track it down earlier, was sorely disappointed. It's supposed to be up next week?

Marvie has a list for a PS3 league, I think there's 4-5 guys in it.

I can't find the list but if still available, I will take the Leafs. MIBUPE

Red_Man · (08-20-2012, 12:01 AM)

I'm 95% sure they are I'll try and find the list to be sure.

Assuming the info in the OP is still current, I'd like to sign up for either of these teams:

Versus League: Blackhawks or Bruins

edit: Actually, make it Chicago. It will help even out the Conferences.

Phthisis · 09:44 PM

I'll take the Kings in the versus league if they're open.

EDIT - 360 right?

mackaveli · (08-22-2012, 06:36 PM)

PS3 - I'll like to take the Oilers.

rinse82 · 09:25 PM

I'll take Boston, Philly, or Vancouver (in that order) in the VS league

Thanks

Bad7667 · (08-23-2012, 12:11 AM)

I would like to join the VS league. Devils or Vancouver if either one is still available.

But seriously, EASHL/SWTOR/GW2 at the same time. The less playing I have to do the better.

Marvie said once the game is out you can sign up for both, if there's space (and it looks like there is).

But good good, SIM league should really fill up, if there's like 1 AI team that team will get fleeced so hard.

That's what commissioners are for.

Marvie_3 · (08-24-2012, 04:56 AM)

Given how terrible AI trade logic is, I don't think it's even possible to fleece a computer team.

First and a 2nd (30th and 60th even) for 1st overall, I used to do it every year in my Be A GM mode in NHL 11. -shrug-

Marvie_3 · 05:27 AM

I never got that to work.

It's always frustrating when the AI team says something like "we want younger players blah blah". You change your offer to some younger players and it comes back with "we aren't looking to trade this guy for prospects". Hopefully EA can finally fix that.

As long as it works, that sounds pretty good.

Tonight. Release for headstart is tonight. Sometime between 9pm and 12am PST. I'll be playing too.

The more people that join it, the less barren it is. ;)

Shit talk before the random draft, because you won't have anything to laugh about after. I'll get Brodeur as my goalie and be screwed :(

Once the game comes out and we've given everyone enough time to sign up, I'd assume

You can't do the fantasy draft in the game though.

Red_Man · (08-28-2012, 09:47 PM)

There is no draft. Every team is given a randomized roster.

Cake Boss · (08-28-2012, 09:54 PM)

oh, much better then.

I'll take the SJ Sharks I suppose. I'll post my GT when the game in released.

Sweeet, that means only 1 spot open for a full simmed league and no annoying "who gets to fleece the AI team" stuff that Marvie needs to deal with. Hope it fills!
