  1. can’t buy a win this season. I expect to at least make the playoffs with my current roster. My guys can’t score to save their lives. Hoping for a better second half this season. Oh well! I will be extatique when my team starts winning more games.
  2. Decided to bring the Rome Trojans back to life. Glad to see some of the people from the old Biscuit days here I hope my team ends up faring a little better than the original Rome Trojans
  3. Same with Medeiros on my team. He somehow played 30 seconds even while assigned to my farm team.

    I hear you. Last season I lost one of my top forwards (Guyard) for the whole season and could never get over it. The amount of injuries I've had in the past two seasons are staggering. I'm hoping to avoid injuries to my top players this season, but you never know. Your team is so stacked that I strongly doubt you miss the playoffs, but it does get frustrating when your top guy(s) get injured for a while. The addition of farm teams will help soften the blow in case of injuries compared to previous seasons though. Best of luck Kim (Except against the Trojans)
  5. Well that's a bit of a drop for us this season. Hoping to challenge for a playoff spot, but I'll consider this a good season if I avoid the relegation zone. Best of luck to everyone this season.
  6. Same here, traded player is still on my affiliate. I also have a free agent that doesn't want to leave my affiliate team.
  7. He has a few seasons left until then, but I hope not
  8. Thanks! I'll give it a shot.
  9. My prospect Nial Batts declined my contract offer. Is this a bug or is he pulling a "Eric Lindros" on me? Would love to hear if this has happened to other managers.
  10. Awesome! Thank you for this
  11. I've always had very good goaltenders, skill wise, but they always seem to let me down when I need them the most. I switched goalies last season and this one is even worse At least I'm still in a playoff spot in the GHL, so yeah it could be worse. Just a little frustrated that my goalie is killing my season so far considering I thought I was going to improve from last season.
  12. Goaltending has been horrible for my team this season. Not too many options out there either to improve in goal. Wondering if I stay with Stulreiter next season or look elsewhere for improvement. For now I'm just aiming for the playoffs.
  13. The answer would be a polite laugh

    Veteran defenceman Mathis Janvier is available. Looking for a forward of similar caliber, preferably a veteran. Mathis' overall skill level is 83 and he's a good stay at home defenceman. http://www.gameplanhockey.com/player?gpid=3923

    It does takes some of the fun out of it, doesn't it? The playoffs are always entertaining because it can go either way, but yeah there's usually no contest for the league lead most seasons

    Biscuit Abuse

    I usually try to stay away from the trade drama around here because the managers that have abused the system either think they didn't do anything wrong, don't care or are not willing to fix their mistakes. I feel like nothing will change unless more drastic measures are implemented by the game in prevention of abuse of CPU trades. That being said, I find the sense of community in our game world a little lacking. I may be wrong, but it seems we all chat here with each other when there is a conflict over a trade others disagree with, but we never actually chat about our teams, our league, players, potential trades,direction of the game, etc. Just my two cents, back to lurking now
  17. Those are awesome ideas. Although I agree with IneffableLeafs, the Hall of Fame would be pretty empty for quite a few seasons as players do retire quite late (I personally never had a player retire on my team)

    Those are great ideas Anders. I like the up vote/down vote idea. It would work as long as everyone uses it honestly.
  19. If it makes you happier some of my defensemen are well paid, happy and still suck LOL. So it could be worse
  20. I'm also curious about the effect of player happiness on player performance. It would make sense that it does affect performance since I don't see any other reason to have that feature as part of the game. But that's just a guess though. To what extent they affect each other is also a mystery to me.

    If anyone needs help in net, I have Ahlberg available for a prospect or 2nd round pick. He's having a great season so far.

    Biscuit Abuse

    I find that one of the issues with trading with human players is the lack of communication by most. If a trade is rejected, a counter offer or a message saying why they are not interested would be awesome. Often I get a trade rejected and don't receive a counter offer or a reason why they are not interested. IF you don't want to move that player, make him unavailable or tell me what it would take or simply tell me I don't have anything you want for said player. This is something I miss from H-D, where there was some sort of negotiation and a active chat for this purpose. Here the game world chat is barely used and could help negotiate and keep in touch with other managers. Also I had decent players available all season and had to trade them to CPU teams since no one made offers or counter offers on them even though they were available almost form the start of the season.

    That's what I go by if I trade with a CPU. In all honesty, we shouldn't be trading picks with any CPU teams. It's really not fair for the new manager and in my opinion is a form of cheating since you are gaining an unfair advantage over managers that don't want to abuse the system. Don't get me wrong, I'm cool with CPU trades, as long as everything is kept fair and actually give up something of value for what you want and not fleece the CPU.

    Wish I would've kept that guy, but his salary was and is a little much for me.

    Even though my goals against are pretty low, I'm still looking for defensive help (Top pair D), I think that's the last piece I need at the moment. But yes, I'm very pleased with my team's defence right now.
