EXXEO

My team doesn't know what mojo is. If you asked them they'd probably scratch their heads and think you were either talking about coffee or end up calling their lawyer thinking some sexual misconduct occurred

For instance, what if we gave players a two game suspension after four major penalties? What do you guys think?
 
Also, it would be rather interesting to have the option of using PED's on your players… But if they get caught in the random drug screenings they may be suspended for the whole year! Haha!!

So we have people getting major injuries and major fights, what if we added a suspension aspect where players could get suspended after x amount of major penalties?

"And here we come again last place moans
Skating down the lonely road to get owned
Like Crosby we all wear too much cologne
...And we've made up our minds
...We'll lose at least 35 more times!
 
Cause we know what it means...
To skate along the lonely rink of dreams!"

RIVERSDALE'S FLOWING NEWS
V.Masharin lasches at management.
 
After yesterday's shocking trade of long time hopeful and first overall draftee of current ownership FWD Valerei Masharin, he had a lot to get off his chest.
"They always prefer french-canadian or north american in this team, never russian. Me never got the chance to play my style, it was always go-go hit the players, dump the puck."
Team representant and PR director, Pierre-Luc Desgranges told the media that "We always want players with character that can skate. We thought at the time that he would evolve into that kind of player, but obviously we had other elements in our locker room that were better suited for the job to do, and wish him good luck"
Valerei Masharin was traded to the IHL Southside Spartans, along the IHL 1st round pick obtained from the New Haven Colonel, which will certainly become an IIHL 1st round, given that team's IHL ranking.
The Riversdale T-Birds received in that trade the Spartans's IHL 1st round pick. With the earlier trade from the Skyline in the pre-season, they now own 2 first round pick from the 4 teams that now sit in contention for playoffs in the IHL,and that with 13 games to play. Should one or both these teams make it to the BHL, the T-Birds would be very happy for this year draft.Along with their own IHL 1st round pick becoming a BHL one, they could have up to 3 players chosen in that BHL 1st round. That would certainly help them down the road, should they choose wisely.

"Wayne Starblazer here, were back with live post-game updates and we now go to Andrea Killer in the Savage Storm locker room with goalie, Aaron Keene."
 
"Thanks Wayne. Aaron, the Storm were relegated last season from the GHL but the team had high hopes of getting back in this season as the squad that finished so well las season hadn't changed at all. This now marks an 0-3 start to the season, what's happening from your perspective?"
 
"You know Andrea, it's a bit of a mystery to us as well. Statistically we're playing well. We know we have some work to do on our power play and penalty kill but the squad is feeling good about what's to come."
 
"We noticed that Sauvage-Abenaquis left a bit early from the bench today - that combined with his average 8.8 GAA has a lot of people concerned. Is he doing ok?"
 
"The team doesn't know one hundred percent what is going on with Gabriele but what I can tell you is that he has never been the same since we had our pre-season match with Coquitlam. Even in the GHL he was averaging an above .900 Save % and the last time we were in the SHL he was one of the best goalies in the league so we have our suspicions. I did see their Center, Deslaurier, pick up his water bottle while there was a scuffle in front of the net. It may have been a diversion that gave him an opportunity to slip something into his drink. GPH authorities are looking into the occupancy as we speak. That's all I can say about the matter. We hope he feels better soon. We need him back at full strength very soon."
 
"Wow, terrifying news! Thanks Aaron and best of luck to Gabrielle's recovery. Back to you Wayne."
 
"Those *#%^~+, who do they...oh yes, thank you too Andrea... and now over to Brock Longbottom on Slaughterville's next matchup against Pinehurst."

A BREAKING NEWS FLASH!
 
"Welcome, this is Butch Sacktooth here at the Storm Update center and we have just received word from the Slaughterville court justice that there will be a counter investigation into the injury of Coquitlam Center, Deslaurier. The letter states that Coquitlam expected foul play as just days prior to the injury the Storm had requested a drugging investigation in concurrence to Sauvage-Abenaquis extensive nausea and poor play following the two team's pre-game match back in mid September. At the team's first regular season match Deslaurier suffered a crippling 37 day upper body injury. No significant proof was found against Deslaurier or Coquitlam but this new finding does make this turn of events quite peculiar. We will keep you updated as new information trickles in."

I've noticed in both Clapper and Biscuit a bit of an odd trend. In both leagues there have been several matches that I have won and lost that leave me scratching my head in confusion. The box score will show a 100% lopsided advantage to one team and by all guessing you would assume that the team with all the best stats would most likely be the winner. Not the case. I saw a match recently where a team put up early 50 shots and still lost to a team who put up half the number of shots and were stuck in their defensive zone for nearly 65% of the match. I have seen games like this previously but feel as if it has been the norm this season. Once more, I'm not complaining necessarily because my #14 Clapper team beat one of the top seeded teams recently on a match just like this but I don't know if I agree with how often a match like that can happen.
 
As additional info, on many games that we lose and have a high percentage of positive stats, my entire team will play in the green or blue and my goalie will post something like a 55 performance. I rest my goalies well and find that kind of a strange dip in performance rather odd, especially after he had just came off the bench from resting the last game and the entire team was killing it.
 
Any one else seeing this?

Just wanted to bump this suggestion as I think it would be a great addition to the game for many reasons.
 
In looking at stats from Biscuit, 23 BHL games have gone to a shootout this year.  Checked GHL as well and the number of SO games was 21.  We are 22 games in, so that is 1 per week per league.  For the higher leagues, the point differential is always very tight, so shootout wins/losses can have a huge impact in the final standings, which could be the difference between making/missing the playoffs, top 2/bottom 2 promotion/relegation, etc.
 
Suggestion #1:  the ability to edit your shootout lineup.
Suggestion #2:  tracking shootout goals, attempts & percentages (much like face-offs) on the player stats screen to see success rates... for both players and goalies would be amazing.

Would it be possible to add a shootout lineup option into the mix?

I've seen the rise of many a player in both leagues that I'm in. I've been apart of unfair CPU trades in the past and still attempt to do CPU trades when it makes sense on both ends. I offered a trade last night and gave a first round pick and a 82 OVR 19 YO goalie in return for a 25 YO, 84 OVR goalie and still got shot down. That all to say, I've seen you (Jihee) make some very questionable trades in your rise to the GHL also. You are not without blemish and I suggest that if any of us decides to bring this topic up again that you address the individual first and then if the response is not taken then log all your info and ask Glawin and Anders about it in the appropriate section. Once more - I've played my hand in the pointing finger game too but it only leads to more frustration. Find a different way to do it. Jusatin, because someone doesn't directly state that "you're cheating" doesn't mean they aren't saying it.

i think I have players that have hidden traits that include "volcano-like explosive rage" because some of my players that are classified as more docile are creating some of the most horrid penalties. Posted below is a prime example: Benjamin Genest is a pretty easy going Defender that 'hates dirty hits' but I think he must store his anger deep below the surface and when it erupts creates massacres on the ice. I like this trait!

"Wow. Why the sudden hate for me. "
 
How do you take that as hate? Seriously? I'm just making an observations and asking people to just stop calling this out every two months on the forum - deal with it in a non-public setting. Sheesh!

I echo TheWeekKnights' statements.
 
Since the mud slinging continues, this thread is now locked.

Just to throw in my two cents that no one asked for: 
 
1. Everybody needs to calm down.  This is a forum for an online game, not a political protest.  There are plenty of ways to bring up an issue you have with the game without personally attacking people.  And there are plenty of ways to defend yourself without getting into essentially a yelling match.  I haven't ever seen this from the community, and I'm disappointed.  Let's keep it constructive.  
 
2. CPU trading, in my opinion, is pretty balanced now.  It's almost impossible to rip off the computer, and you truly have to give up something good to get something from one of those teams.  If it's not unbalanced in the CPU's favor, the trade is not going through.  Besides, you should have seen it a few seasons ago when you could give up 3 old guys who aren't very good with orange trade value and get a top prospect.  It's come a long way and I think it's a good part of the game.  
 
3. The game is still being developed, and it's certainly not flawless.  But it changes and grows and gets better all the time, so bring up your complaints in a way that makes people want to listen, discuss, and make those changes, and it'll improve more quickly.  
 
4. This isn't meant to be condescending, I just like the game too much to see people rip it to shreds.  
 
5. Now I feel like a parent.  Great.

I think development in general has been slowed so I'm not sure I'd start dealing your prospects immediately unless they haven't been developing over the last few seasons.
