    Having some issues with some injuries to some depth players, for some reason they seem to play key roles. Think you have built yourself a good lead, now I need to work on putting some room between myself and 3rd place. 

    It's only 5 games, I could go to bed in 1st and wake up in second but I'm hoping it is a good lead, the more you build on 3rd the more you help me :D. I am also having issues w/ depth player injuries, not massive 20-30 game injuries but enough to annoy me, 4 players have gone down in the bottom half of my line up and 2 in my top 6, I have 3rd line W and 4th line W on IR right now and I had one of my leading scorers go on IR for 5 games also and for some reason they do seam to play key roles. Good luck in the second half of the season, and good luck in Dangles.

    Your team is taking this season for sure, no way can I catch you the way you're playing. Well done with the team

    This is the first team where I did player characteristics according to the recommended tactics in game. Now we just can't fall off a cliff.

    And you should know I'm a little nervous about your team.

    Normally I do puck possession, so I wanted to try something different and the tactics said to use powerforwards so I decided to try it and it seems to be working (we could fall off a cliff) it also seemed the easiest to run/find players for. You are having a good season too for a team fresh off promotion, if you don't promote this year you should next season for sure.

    Hey now, I resent that. We are clearly lower middle.

     

    I was just as surprised as you about the 7-1 game, though. I can only attribute it to 12 mins on PP against 2 mins on PK. My PP is #1 in the league and has bailed me out a few times already. Maybe that swung momentum early and you guys couldn't get it back? Or maybe it was just dumb luck.

     

    I did notice something about your roster. Pointing it out as a learning tool to see if it is correct or maybe I'm missing something. Your roster is stacked with Centers and Forwards who can play Puck Possession, but you don't have any defenders who excel in that system (you certainly have ones who can shoot). You also have no mobile defenders or defensive centers for Moderate Forecheck. Talent wise your team is leaps and bounds better than mine, but I wonder how much the tactical fit factors into it.

     

    Speaking of talent, I have a few guys on the trade block because I am trying to switch to a dump and chase tactic. Seems like an easy one to run with my first attempt at this game. I have two beast defenders who don't fit into this mold. Lonroth and Clouthier if anyone is interested, neither are mobile enough for my liking. I could use some young gritty mobile guys in return.

    You have a quality team but I was just saying at the time you had no wins which was very frustrating that we couldn't win. As for players this is a side team so I just throw together whatever I have and let the game figure it out if you still have those D I could probably piece together deal w/ you. My team is supposed to be all offense all the time and get shots from the point puck possession was the system it gave me so I just left it.

    How is everyone's season going? I personally had a rough start but my team has picked it up. Just wanted to start a topic on Dangles as I have not seen a recent one in a while. So any teams playing well down the last stretch of 20-25 games?  Any teams folding?

    I am a neutral 3rd party here and I have tried multiple times to trade with the computer I sent 1st round 75 ovr and 2nd rnd bhl to another bhl for a 79 ovr defensemen and it's gotten rejected, I have also received trades from the computer asking for 79ovr goalie who is 6'1" and in decent age for a 52ovr prospect. From what I've read  if the player was on waivers when he made that trade then it is a perfectly fair trade if the computer accepted it it's fair. But in the future I would say 2nd rnd GHL AT LEAST for a 90ovr or a SHL 1st or just claim him off waivers like is normally done. Just my 2 sense you don't have to listen.

    I agree, I try not to exceed one sniper per line but have seen some teams be successful with two on the wings and a playmaker or powerforward on center. For puck possession, I'd definitely try to focus on playimaking, powerforwards, and two-way forwards. Line focus may alter production a bit but not a ton. That is a strategic section dedicated towards your teams playing style. I tend to drift towards more two-way, balanced lines with an occasional scoring line or energy line thrown in. As Jusatin said - may want to take at your player roles as they effect line chemistry and production. I think even some players play better with a different combinationnof player types - lot of time to figure that out though.

     

    You cannot train a specific talent. They will train in endurance as they play (if they haven't capped it out yet). If you don't want him to be tired so fast you can ease his training or have him play less minutes per game.

    About the sniper thing, it could be it. I have had a rule of max 1 sniper per line so they don't "clash" with each others.

    Ok good to know about training, I set it to hard from last game to preseason then I set it to easy so they don't tire as quick, what is capping out ? I need him to play big minutes he is my best puck moving defensemen. I will definitely have to try the sniper thinig.

    I set almost all my forwards to sniper cause I want shots. I have my first line as scoring second two-way 3rd energy 4th checking.

    I will defintly have to make some adjustments in the future but not right now we finally started winning and we're on a 7 game win streak "knock on wood" and vaulted from 10th to 4th and just beat the #3 team so things are starting to look up. Thanks again for the advice will definitely have to try those things.

    - Hey A13 - how do your players fit into your overall system!? I.e. A Puck Possession style has players that have sufficient enough focus on that rating to be successful within the system.

     

    - You nailed the spelling of Gel ;)

     

    - And I'd also like to know how to get my images to 8.4kb - that's exceptionally small for posting...especially working off of a phone.

    I play a puck possession system with players that have high passing and puckhandleing skills. Our puck possession is averaged at about 51% per game. How do you know what a players focus is? Is it the role assignments? I base my lineup off of the fact that I have $0 in cap space and all my other players are below 75ovr. But I do have a respectable team, I have 5 81+ovr rated players and the rest are 76-80 they all have good passing and puck skills and most are assigned as role to sniper. Will almost all players being assigned to sniper affect the system I play? And will the line focus affect that also? And is there a way to train my players endurance specifically? I am very annoyed by 1 defensemen he is always tired after 2-3 games. Good to know about gel.

    The program I use to capture images is "Snag It" editor.  I don't use my phone for the forum stuff, that is all done on my laptop.  Truthfully I'm not sure why the images appear so small.  I'd prefer they didn't.  But I'm not very tech savvy (like, at all), so have no idea how to adjust it.

    Do you know of any free ones that will work with the forum? I have used lightshot in the past but the forum won't let me use it.

    It's good to see some IHL chatter in here!  As mentioned by A13 and Balazs, the Stealers are looking good this season.  Sam is a co-worker of mine.  Don't expect him to post much in here, but he's paying attention...

     

     

    I'll refrain from talking about my own team's performance for now because I'd probably go all John Tortorella on this forum. 

    My dangles team is frustrating the heck out of me we have probably one of the most stacked teams in the BHL and I mean STACKED we have 79/80 on my 3rd line and we still can't win and better yet my goalies play really bad then I trade them then they stop 42-43 shots against my team and we lose 2-1 it's been a very frustrating season. But my biscuit team looks really good, I think we are starting to gel (is that how you spell it?) w/ the exception of two tough 7-1 losses wwe have had a good season thus far.

    Quick question what screen shot or copier do you use to post the in game content on the forum like in the humor therapy thread I have something I would like to contribute thanks.

    At the time we lost to latrobe they were the worst in the league and My team is actully one of the better teams
    I have in the IHL I was just disapointed by the score of our losses, I expected to lose to the stealers but not by 6 goals and the loss to latrobe was very disapointing after we beat a BHL team in the preseason. After the 1st 4 games I am expecting a good season from the warriors

    Preseason started well and had high hopes after the teams performance in game 1 we beat the BHL's Medicine Hat Winterhawks 5-4 in regulation and then played a decent game against another BHL team but took the loss 5-2 then to start the regular season we beat the delson savages 6-5 so a good start then we got beat by the worst team in the IHL 7-1 clearly some people forgot what hockey was and it is still there only win then we turned that around and won 5-3 in an all around pretty good game, then we got messed up by the #1 team 7-1, another 6 goal loss. So the start to the season wasn't all I had hoped for after a good preseason, also kind of sensing a pattern we win then lose 7-1 ? That could be brutal if it continues anyone else experiencing the same frustration ?

    I claimed a goalie off of waivers and was the only claim till approximately 30-60 mins away from the claim closing and then someone else claimed him and got him. Why does he get the player when I had my claim in the longest why does he get him?

    Quick question unrelated, how do you post your team/game world at the bottom of your post ?
