team name is 2p2 degens ,send request

does it let u join more than 1 team? im already on one...

Just catching up on the thread (usually just post bat signals), but as far as AHL defense goes, you really can't allow breakaways off turnovers in the neutral zone. I guess the best way to put it is you should never really skate past your forwards unless you're filling in on a 3 on 2, 2 on 1. Or unless you have a clear lane into the zone with the puck and you should be communicating the whole way so someone can stay or rotate back.

As far as when you're in the offensive zone you should know what you're going to do with the puck if it should come your way. Turnovers at the blue line are brutal and I commit my fair share but indecisiveness will kill you. Overhead view helps but it's fairly easy to see whether or not you have a clear lane to shoot or if someone is open. With the slower skaters this year D to D passes are very effective.

In your own zone is basically pretty easy. Don't chase, don't commit penalties, make it hard for them to enter the zone, and stay back to give your defensive partner and outlet pass.

Turnovers at the blueline in the offensive zone were the hardest thing to deal with for me playing D last night.

This is probably mostly true (that people overvalue NHLers without much reason), but for chemistry reasons NHLers should be a bit more valuable.

I mean, yeah. In some cases the increased prices don't quite justify how much better the players are, but it usually does. You have to keep in mind too that rarity matters. Certain players are issued far less than others and the demand for them goes up exponentially as a result. Of course those aren't the players you should target to build your teams, they are the ones that you want to sell for profit.

I'd agree with this, definitely.

Some of it goes back to rarity, but definitely a lot of people will overpay for name players.

It actually took me a while to sell Buff at that price, but I figured eventually somebody would go nuts for him based on his playoff heroics. On another note, some of the underrated players on teams with passionate fanbases that have high potential can be sold for a lot, too. I sold Gilbert Brule (82/90) for almost 6k earlier - probably to some diehard Oilers fan that just had to have him. In general players on Canadian teams can be sold for a lot more based on that same logic. Players like Cammalleri, Phaneuf, Kessel, etc. are just worth way more than they would be on other teams.

what a tilting game. 2-1 with like 5 minutes left in the second, then end up losing 6-1. I had to just stop playing I was getting so pissed.

also I finally bit the bullet and switched out of that D-man boost pack thing and switched to playmaker so I could put stats where I wanted. now I'm getting my ass thrown to the floor at least 7 times a game, and it seems like I have less time to make passes because even if I press it while I'm still clear, it delays a bit and then I get smoked.

By the second I mean the third

same here, my buddies never play tho so I'm itching for some EASHL action.

I'm gonna go play a few games and join the squad. PS3 go!

you're only allowed to play in one EASHL team.

I'm loving the chemistry on the AHL team. If anyone else wants to play C while I'm on, I'm def cool with switching to D. I'm hoping to be on more the next few days. Lately I have been exhausted and only jump on for an hour or so per night.

Def got some good chemistry. I just got my Super Star card. My guy only went from an 81 to an 83. Am I just applying my points wrong or does it become exponentially harder to increase a guy's rating? I also have five +5 boosts applied. I dunno, my guy has some pretty awesome offensive attribute numbers, I figured once you got the Super Star card you'd be around the 85-87 area (for a forward I mean, I know I could probably turn him into a 90+ D-man).

I'll get on before the Monday Night Football game if anyone's around?

only one. but i think you should quit yours and join ours

ok, request sent, but i might jump around between the 2 at times in case people aren't on, etc

cool. ps3 team now 2-1 btw

i would confirm you guys right now but Im not GM. the_main signed off about 30 min ago so he'll get you next time he's on

can a team have more than 1 GM? that would be cool

you can have like 4

cool ill try to figure it out and make you gm as well willie

ill be on after football if you guys want to run a game

what time is that?

imo we should stick with the guy that wins 90% of faceoffs as our center

With my veteran card my guy's only a 79 or 80 overall RW (up from 78 with my pro card), I think that's normal. He's a 85 overall DFD though!

Also, grades on defense are ridic easy, got my first ever A+/A+/A+ last night playing D. I get killllled on team play as a forward.

Ya, I'm slowly improving my team play grade as a forward. And I'll need to make it even better if I ever wanna get to an A- overall for my Legend card. Just always making good passes and doing a lot to intercept passes/block shots on D helps the team play grade.

bout 3 hours from now

ill jump on quickly now and accept the requests though

Yeah my pos and stats are good but my team play sucks and I play forward. On a different note I did a drop in game an hour ago and our goalie was interested in skating around all game and laying down on the blue line. We lost 22-0...

you cant be accepted because youre on another team.

you have to leave it first before i can add you


baumer you're added and jwill youre GM too now
