NHL 2011-2012 Offseason thread of Cash Rules Everything Around Me

I'm so close to flipping on these super human goalies in NHL 13 especially in HUT. But no, my goalie can't make a stop to save his pathetic life!!! No matter how out of position they are, apparently they can morph their bodies to make saves that I didn't even think were possible even for an NHL video game, I mean seriously screw this at times and it seems to be a lot worse in HUT for some stupid reason. Also HUT still blows, makes it a pain to save up enough pucks but having to worry about everyone's dang contracts expiring every other game forcing you to buy small packs and wasting pucks.
 
Finally had enough for a jumbo pack and I get jack squat in it when it says you get at least 3 rare cards with my highest player being Kindl and 2 AHL scrubs but apparently it counts training cards as rares or something, bunch of BS. Screw this, I'm done with HUT, stick with GM connected, offline GM mode, regular versus or EASHL.

If only the NHLPA could negotiate with the individual teams. I am sure they would take less from the struggling teams to help them out.

Clearly needs to be a profit ceiling for teams. You make x amount of profit and everything above that goes to the struggling teams. That sounds perfectly logical!

Send me all your cards then.

Don't forget to also cap coaches and gms salaries. Those bastards are taking caviar out of players mouths.

That wouldn't be fair to the Leafs. All they have is profits.

I really don't like the sound of that at all.

Eh not everything. Maybe brackets for a percentage.

I guess my sarcasm didn't come through :( I find the idea of profit sharing completely ridiculous. It's not the Leafs fault that they make mountains of money and a team like Phoenix is sunk. A salary cap helps teams stay within a competitive window, it's up to individual teams to figure out how to turn profits in whatever market they're in.

It's not rocket science! :(

In some markets, rocket science would be easier than turning a profit with an NHL team. I could put Tabris on Pluto before I could ever make the Coyotes profitable in the current NHL economic system.

No, I will hoard them for the next time I play in about 6 months!!

Just send me the good ones for now then. I'll send them back later.

I think you just volunteered to send Tabris to Pluto. We'll be interested in hearing the progress you've made.

Stop shitting on my team. Start shitting on my finger.
I've been hard at work on it for 2 years. Unfortunately I'm terrible at any math higher than algebra so that complicates the engineering process.


Anybody better than the hosers I have now.

I have like 5 80 d-men I'm not using if you want some.

You clearly need me to make shitty, stupid passes to you that somehow get through 90% of the time for a tap-in.

Pretty much, the problem I was having was that I kept connecting on cross crease passes except every single one no matter how out of position the goalie was in, somehow made the save. But when they did it to my goalie, he let the puck in both times it was tried against him. :/

And these were like AHL goalies too, but apparently the AHL consists of only super man goalies for the opposing team while mine is a monkey.

The goalies do have a bad habit of acting like Mrs. Incredible in the net.

Ron MacClean and his dumb buddy Cherry need to be strapped to a fucking nuke and launched at the sun. Why we continue to let them embarrass us is beyond me.

Wouldn't it be easier to just send them to Pluto with Tabris? Kinda pointless to build 2 rockets.
 
I'll probably pick it up next week. I haven't bought one since 09, though I've played '11 and '12 significantly with some friends. Sounds like the physics have finally gotten to a more realistic point, which is what I was really waiting for. It also sounds like they really need to spend this year overhauling the UI and menus, they were slow and shitty in 09 and, from my experience with the more recent games, have only gotten more laden down with shit since then.

Also, we're getting close to the 20,000 post limit, do we have a lock out thread planned?
