  1. Greetings! My opinion is that how the life works, sadly. If you want to stay in a higher league, you must be active in trading, in signing free agents and learn a lot about tactics. Game World Zamboni is without promotion and relegation, here you can compete without the risk of losing your players.
  2. These are dark times for the Tigers, defeats after defeats... Maybe we can reach a playoff spot, but we need to find our better form.
  3. We are the Lords of the Overtime! We are huffing and puffing and always find ourselves in an uphill battle, and if we don't lose in regulation time, then comes the lucky escape! I have a suspicion that there will be no lucky escape against the Sebastian Storm. They have a superior squad, and Dave "granpubah" Calloway is a very experienced manager with great tactical skill. I have learnt a lot about the game's tactical aspects just watching his team, and analyzing our battles. My team started the career in the LIHL, the Storm is a well settled SHL team, so it will be a great challenge. Smashvilles4Real is going to travel to the Knights, they have a terrific team, so Smash need to dig deep if they want to steal some points!:) The Knights offered me Dawkins in a trade, and I feel some regret because I rejected the offer. That's an interesting trade: From Knights (SHL) to Twisters (BHL) SHL level 1st round pick SHL level 2nd round pick SHL level 2nd round pick From Twisters to Knights CHL level 1st round pick CHL level 2nd round pick CHL level 1st round pick BHL level 2nd round pick J. Marquardt (C) 31, years enforcer overall rating 71.
  4. Tomorrow in the early hours (here in Hungary) the Steam will have a big-big challenge, they are going to head-to-head with the Big Ducks. The Portland team found their captain and some magic formula and they won 4 games in a row! :) Packer the Steam's center has 14 points after 11 games (4+10), Tage Thomsen has 7+9 so he is the most effective attacker in the other team. This will be a great game, I am going to check the result after I wake up! :)
  5. That was a great match! The Whalers had an excellent start, but the Big Ducks nearly came back from 4 goals behind. The Whalers have some excellent scandinavian players, and they didn't let the team down. The Tigers had a hard fought victory in the overtime, and it was a real disappointment for me. Our finishing was really poor, we had a lot of chances, and we scored only one in the regulation time. We are going to badly miss these points at the end of the season. Today we are going to lock the horns with the Whales. Where are the Whalers when we badly need them? My favourite jersey is the second one, I have a nostalgic feeling when I look on them, it looks like the "old" Hartford Whales' jersey. The Steam has an excellent squad, maybe there are some issues with the Teamwork. After some unlucky defeats, they had an invaluable away victory. This is a performance they can build on.
  6. Good looking jerseys! :) I think the Big Ducks are going to win this derby, they have an excellent squad, Tyrod has one of the strongest team in this division, and they will have the home advantage. Off course I support for the Whalers, because I see the Ducks are preparing to fly away. :) I think they are not just Big Ducks, they are the Mighty Ducks... :)
  7. I think It is going to be an exciting season in the SHL! After six games the Ducks are leading the race, and they destroyed us 2:5! :)
  8. But how can I sign 70+ overall rating players with very good traits in the Lower Iron League? Every time I've tried I couldn't offer a contract. Anyway, it harms the balance of the league. I think, in this year there will be some runaway winner because of this.
  9. In the Cage Lower Iron League there is a brutal goaltender with an overall rating of 71. He made the competition totally pointless with a saving percentage of 94,7%... For example Tigerton Tigers outshot them 41:24, but the final score was 0:0... And they won the shootout. So, we have a champion! :)
  10. Yes, I remember, this was my first season. I've finished 2nd in this league with the Thunderbolts. Nolasco was the Fury's powerhouse, he was a terrific player! (He finished the season with 100 points (37 goals and 63 assists)! Why did you change back to the Lower Iron?

    Promotion?

    That's okay, you will get a message on the 77th day. My other team the Torrington Thunderbolts also won the playoff in the Biscuit Game World, so I know everything will be arranged on that day.

    Promotion?

    Hi Granpubah! The Meteors done their jobs! It was a crazy season, and I lost my playoff duel against a Bronze League team again. Next season I need to change a lot of things about my roster so I think my team will not so strong as they were this year. We have ran out of budget! Your ex-goaltender has signed for us (Naveen Wylde), I hope he will be a good replacement for Polis, he will leave us because his salary is too much for our budget. My other team, the Thornbury Tigers are still in fierce battle for the promotion at the Fishbowl.

    Yes, I remember at season 10 the Beasts won their last game of the season. I don’t understand the motivation, but it is a big achievement for him.

    The season ended in the Iron Hockey League, The standings: 1. Rushsylvania Stealers 141 pts 2. Mount Airy Gladiators 141 pts 3. Torrington Thunderbolts 141 pts Congratulations for the other two managers, it was a crazy race! I hope next season we will going to compete against each other again in the Bronze League! Guys, it was a fantastic championship, and I think we had the smallest margin! Balazs Szabo Torrington Thunderbolts
  16. Hi! I see you have a very good team, but not much luck with the injuries. Good luck in your next matches!
  17. If you are interested in my opinion, I think it's not a cheat. I don't say that I like it, and I think I will never use this trick, because I like to trade with human controlled team. I don't care much about the success and the achievements, because I am here to have fun. I know that if somebody uses the weak points of the system to earn success it can ruin other players fun. I care about other people gaming experience and I want to be a part of this community, so I play fair and square. If you use this trading method then this is your decision, and I say again it is not a cheat in my opinion. I don't say I like it, but I can accept it, but don't wait that everybody will like it.

    We had outshot the Stealers 31:28, the result was 1:3 at home, after that we were even at 35:35 against the Gladiators, and we thrashed by 5:2... Frustrating, but luckily the season is long...

    You are to harsh. The Stealers are really the #1 this year, and the Latrobe Animals are surely not the worst team in the league. I had lost all of my games in the pre-season, and after that the first game gave me false hopes... The Stealers and the Gladiators helped us to see our real strength. You don't have a bad team, so keep your chin up and go for the victories! Go Warriors! Manager of Torrington Thunderbolts (Biscuit)
  20. We are getting closer to the end. After 51 rounds the table looks like this: 1. Michigan Center Fury 135 pts 2. Torrington Thunderbolts 106 pts 3. Edgewood Reapers 103 pts 4. Prince Rupert Raiders 100 pts 5. Minnesota City Mustangs 100 pts 6. Smoke Rise Scorpions 96 pts 7. Romaine Imperials 95 pts 8. La Marque Topcats 94 pts The Fury has won the championship with an excellent performance, they have dominated this league so I think they will be successful next year in the Iron League too. There is 27 points to gain, so every match will have a great importance in the next rounds. Top 8 derby games in this season: Michigan Center Fury 53. Prince Rupert Raiders (A)55. Torrington Thunderbolts (A)56. La Marque Topcats (H)58. Smoke Rise Scorpions (H)60. Romaine Imperials (H) Torrington Thunderbolts 52. Smoke Rise Scorpions (A)55. Michigan Center Fury (H)59.

(I'm not counting with the Fury, they are not interested in the race for the 2nd place . ) Who will win the silver medal?
  21. It was a terrific game! Your team has scored five powerplay goals! It was about 40%! My team's record is 4 powerplay goal in a match, but we scored only four in the first 11 games... Your keeper maybe had a bad game, but he performs very well in this season.
  22. In your last match you've earned a valuable victory against the Bulldogs. The Pinehurst Miners has two tricky away matches against your team and the Bulldogs so if you lucky then the 1st place isn't unachievable.
  23. I have made a power ranking for LIHL, I used up Erzac's idea with this formula: Team OVR = (OFF + (DEF x 2) + (SG x 2))/26 1.Michigan Center Fury SG 66 DEF 68 OFF 66 OVR 67 2.Minnesota City Mustangs SG 71 DEF 67 OFF 65 OVR 66,883.Prince Rupert Raiders SG 67 DEF 69 OFF 65 OVR 66,804.Smoke Rise Scorpions SG 80 DEF 67 OFF 64 OVR 66,385.Chattanooga Rampage SG 74 DEF 66 OFF 65 OVR 66,356.Torrington Thunderbolts SG 70 DEF 66 OFF 66 OVR 66,157.Island Lake Indians SG 65 DEF 68 OFF 64 OVR 66,118.La Marque Topcats SG 65 DEF 68 OFF 64 OVR 65,969.Romaine Imperials SG 65 DEF 66 OFF 66 OVR 65,9610.Soda Bay Cyclones SG 70 DEF 64 OFF 66 OVR 65,4611.Hale Predators SG 71 DEF 66 OFF 64 OVR 65,4612.Edgewood Reapers SG 70 DEF 65 OFF 65 OVR 65,3813.Red River Rockets SG 68 DEF 63 OFF 65 OVR 64,3514.South Dayton Owls SG 66 DEF 64 OFF 64 OVR 63,8815.North Haven Hyenas SG 66 DEF 63 OFF 64 OVR 62,9616.Finnegan Beasts SG 70 DEF 61 OFF 59 OVR 60,96 For the Overall score I used up the players overall skill. You can see that the Edgewood Reapers manager is doing an excellent job, this team's strongest point is the winner instinct and the teamwork, as I said.
  24. Hi! My league (Lower Iron League) is also very exciting. The Michigan Center Fury has an enormous point advantage, but there is a fierce battle for the 2nd position. The Edgewood Reapers, the Prince Rupert Raiders, the La Marque Topcats and my team the Torrington Thunderbolts competing for this position. After 45 matches the Reapers and the Raiders had 90 points and the other two had 89... This is my first season, but this game gives me a great experience! The Fury is the strongest team in the league, I think they will give a great challenge for the other teams in the Iron League next year, Nolasco and Arena leads the charge while the giant Jussilla blocks the attacks, this team has also the best offensive defenseman. The Reapers has a very good roster with great veteran players.and with an also veteran manager. Sennevile is a great goaltender, and he is helped by the league's best teamwork and winner instict. They are very strong as a team. The Raiders has three excellent players Germain, Thelland and Cape. Cape (like Nolasco) is a Bronze League level player, this season he has a lot of problems with injuries, but he is a terrific defender with excellent attacking skills. The Topcats has a very experienced manager, and they have a very solid defence led by Zemancik, a great offensive defenseman. The Minnesota City Mustangs is a great danger too. They play a cruel physical hockey with a giant center. This team can be very dangerous and they can also reach the 2nd spot. My team is the youngest in this league (and maybe in the Biscuit world), and I must spend a lot of time with thinking about my lineups if I want to give a challenge for these excellent teams and managers. I am a rookie but my experience with other manager games can give my team a great boost. I wish good luck to you all for the next matches!
  25. Hi everybody! I'm Balazs Szabo from Hungary. I have never played any online game, but I like the manager games very much, so I have decided to try this interesting simulation. I'm competing in the Lower Iron Hockey League with the Torrington Thunderbolts, and after the relegation I'm looking forward to a very difficult season, because I need to learn the basics of this game, after the team rebuilding. I wish you the best of luck for the season ahead!
