I've set this up for completeness sake, since there are only four Slapshot leagues at the moment I don't expect there'll be much activity.<br><br>Rob...
Clearly Slapshot is a very close analogue to Gameplan Baseball. I play both and wondered what people thought about the two games in comparison?<br><br>I ...
Great game. I've been hooked on the real NHL for years so when this came along I jumped at the chance (hence, 3 teams). It only took me three attempts to get ...
Has anyone else noticed that a goaltender with anything less than Go REF is basically crap?<br><br>I have a level 10 goaltender with Av REF who has a worse ...
As well as the greater variety of skills I find you're using more players in Slapshot.<br><br>In GB you can use a crap player or two further down the lineup ...
As soon as I looked at the rulebook I thought that goaltenders looked a bit like batters in Baseball - i.e. two key stats (Hit, Fld -> Ref, Sta) that are...
I noticed quite a few players in NHL4 invested in fans early, but considering the shorter season I was less convinced - plus I think if you invest in fans you...
Got to agree with this one. An Av REF goaltender can get by from time to time but your number 1 guy should never have anything less than Go.<br><br>Staying on...
As far as fans are concerned I'm only now beginning to build up my fan base in NHL2, midway through season 2. The team and the finances are now at a point ...
Actually in GB I've found that Hit is not much use, not much point hitting the baseball if you can't run fast enough to beat the throw or hit it far enough to...
Well I've cheated a bit here - not actually yet a "player of Slapshot from Ab Initio Games" but thinking about it. Not desperately interested in real-life ...
> (1) do you need to know jack about ice hockey to play? - because I don't...<br><br>No. I know next to nothing about ice hockey (I'd watched it on the...
Thanks Rob, I may well give it a go. Not likely to be writing a newsletter myself - I already do 1 (NFLBX) and am thinking of doing another (RP27), plus (as I...
I'm currently using the four lines option, but even with this my attacking players seem to be building up fatigue like crazy...dropping back the parameters on...
I've found that 30 seconds for the average forward and 60 seconds for the average defenseman (average durability) results in about 6-8 points of fatigue each...
Goaltenders - Yes i would agree REF seems to be the key strength also with goalies only having 4 skills as opposed to the 8-10 skaters have you can train a guy...
The key to getting through the playoffs with your starting lineup intact is winning series in less than seven games, then you get the extra rest.<br><br>My ...
This week in MLB3 I rested a couple of my star players for the first couple of games of the playoff series (because they had fatigue over 50). I lost the first...
Only week 3 in the first season, so I have just got to 50 on three of my players, so I will probably find out in the next couple of turns :)<br><br>Stuart...
last year i got to the final in the NHL2 and had some very tired players with fatigue around 70. They seeemed to play for shorter time than you would have ...
On my experience last year I would rest the guys who are on 70-80 fatigue their fatigue will probably reach 100 in the middle of the games and your other ...
Getting into a position where you can rest players before heading into the playoffs is a big advantage, for sure - I've been lucky enough to be able to do this...
Well, I'm in full on 'well chuffed with myself' mode at the minute - got my NHL3 turn and found I'd won the whole thing. Should never have worried about all...
There's recently been a lot of talk on the Gameplan club about newsletters, which has gotten me to thinking (in a vague sort of way) what would you put in a ...
Rob,<br><br>Where do I get the feeling that you've got the hang of Slapshot already (given that you're also waiting for the results of a final in NHL1, having...
Tough to say what would work best - I suppose it might just be a case of someone giving it a shot, and see how things go.<br><br>I suppose a 'form guide' would...
