Hi <br>What are peoples thoughts on what makes a good center. I've struggles with this one. I know what I'm looking for in a defender and a forward but not ...
This system of making teams lose their best players for the week in order to encourage teams to keep their wages in check doesn't really seem to be working in...
You make some good points Martin. I've always thought the holdout rule is unfair in all the PBM games. Given that not every team has a manager in the league ...
From what I've seen:<br><br>CON is good, as it helps in winning faceoffs - look at how many your centres win/lose along with their CON rating at the end of a...
This is an area where you need a bit of balance, though - Danny doesn't want to hurt teams so badly that they'll need a couple of seasons for the coach to sort...
Thanks for the pointers. Basically it's up to the individual's idea of how his team should play. Center is an area I'm looking to improve on but I think I'll...
Imagine my shock when I was expecting the 2nd draft pick only to end up with pick 10:-( I thought it had to be a mistake only to find in the rulebook that ...
<Imagine my shock when I was expecting the 2nd<br>draft pick only to end up with pick 10:-( I thought it had to be a mistake only to find in the rulebook...
I've had a few problems recently with several players at the same position hitting poor form at the same time (NHL2 Wild - none of my defencemen played well at...
I find in both Slapshot/GB, the first step is to give a guy with bad form a week off, this halves the bad for immediately and can sometimes stop the vicious...
Thanks for the explanation. The reason makes sense and would stop teams throwing games in Gameplan as well at the end of the season but doesn't make me any...
> I doubt I get a response to this, but does anybody set any of their wingers to A-D value of 5 or are you all rather more defensive than that?<br><br>I set...
I've had the feeling that most of my attacking players A-D values have been set far too high apart from my defenders. <br><br>Thanks for that.<br>Troy...
Hi<br><br>Iset a couple of my forwards to A-D 5. I do this with forwards who have poor defensive abilities using the probably suspect logic that they don't add...
You could take the opposite view - that forwards who have poor defensive abilities should devote more effort towards defense.<br><br>But then, if it works for ...
I tend to give players who are good defensively lower ratings, and good attackers high ratings (although I don't use 5, which probably doesn't come as a ...
Interesting strategy about mixing up the A-D ratings on the lines. I've always done it the opposite way, try to match the guy's with the same rating on the...
Generally I'm looking to develop younger players, especially in NHL1 where most of my starting forwards will retire within two years :-).<br><br>I think value...
Well done to whoever complained to Danny about the holdout situation.<br><br>For those not receiving a turn today the new rule is - if anyone on your team is...
I emailed Danny on Tuesday with a copy of the message i put on this site a couple of weeks back.<br><br>I guess the NHL2 Sabres will start to reduced their ...
It looks like the new holdout rules are working. The Sabres have suddenly had a huge downturn in fortunes. This seems a lot fairer to me as the rest of us make...
Got to agree with you here. I'd be interested to know what the coach of the Sabres thinks about it though?<br><br>For the record...<br><br>Sabres before the...
I'd say the loss in form is fairly realistic , if you went to work and some of the people did n't get paid then morale would sink pretty rapidly?<br><br>Why ...
NHL1 and NHL3 have both reached week 13 - draft lists ahve been issued and the most exciting part of the season is upon us, so I thought it was time to see if...
I think it depends on your team. If you are just as good away from home as you are at home then it doesn't make a lot of sense to kill your players for the ...
For me (in NHL1), winning the division is a big thing - the three division winners are seeded 1-3, even if their records are worse than other teams. On the ...
I would rest players on a rotation basis so your players do not lose all their form just before the play offs start.<br><br>Best to prepare a few weeks before ...
> I would rest players on a rotation basis so<br>your players do not lose all their form just before the play offs start.<br><br>What I was meaning was: I ...
Many congratulations to Robert Dorman as his Toronto Maple Leafs destroyed the Edmonton Oilers 4-0. Great season!<br><br>The new season has started and very...
Thanks Troy. Top seeds in the East, with the 2nd highest points total (112) in the league, it was a great season.<br><br>Considering we started and finished...
