there is more people that I was thinking! this is realy gonna be cool! thx again Calv

Oh ya! why is left wing and right wing so popular?

Do you use All leagues? How long does it takes to seem one month.

All leagues set to enhanced, not sure whether I'm going to do monthly of bi-monthly updates, I'm leaning towards the latter due to the large number of users that have signed up

Don't do too much mate, just go with what works around your schedule, I never did last years so I am not too sure how it all works. Will you be having a separate blog or posing stats within this thread? Also will you do each player on a monthly/bi-month report or so many each time?

Last year he did a monthly stat update and a yearly pictoral review of attributes and league leaders.

ehmfans wrote:Oh ya! why is left wing and right wing so popular?

I think the reason is because with a limited amount of points to set to each attribute, some areas get left behind in order to have good other stats.

For example, a good centre should be good at faceoffs, but that's one of the first areas I got rid of so I could increase my wristshot, stickhandling, etc. Therefore, I chose LW/RW instead. And I'm thinking a lot of people did the same thing so they would have a very good shot.

I'm curious as to how many Bantam and U16 leagues are going to get dominated by people with 13 wristshots and such.

So Calv are there going to be any surprises this time?

Very exciting! I would prefer montly updates but I can understand how much time that would take. Maybe you can give more frequent updates to users who stick around and show a high level of interest.
Are you going to make the league file avaliable before you run any sims so that we can see what the 'clean' game universe looks like?

I am going to go research my team since I have never heard of it before. I wonder which college I will end up at?

If you happen to have the DB handy, I'd love to take a look at it and maybe play through it. Thanks!

Ah I hope that i end up playing major junior.

Being a goalie should be tough though, i'll probably end up playing Austrian Division 4 hockey

I'm excited to see where my player goes. Being one of two Prep School kids in the game (Bruins72 is the other [Thayer Prep!? I would've thought Cushing or Deerfield Academy!), I'm curious to see if I end up at a CCHA school or one of the Ivy League Schools, but with my luck, I'll end up at either Alaska-Anchorage or Bentley College.

I asked to be assigned to a highschool but for some reason was not included on one. But the level of competition should be higher in the league I am in. And if my career goes well I could be a college 'One and done'

Sweet - this should be good.

I always liked watching the Thunderbirds play down at UBC while having a burger and beer in the cafeteria upstairs - pretty ghetto but fun.

Okay then let´s roll ^^
After my successful first run i really hope, i will not stay with the Blue Jackets again. The only NHL Team i´m absolutely not interested in and i stayed 10 years? Well... i forgot t ask for a trade

Sorry got confused between the USHE & the U16E!! I'll change that for the real game

thunderbug wrote:So Calv are there going to be any surprises this time?

If I told you that they wouldn't be surprises!!

I think I'll be doing an update every other month, if writing the stats up takes 1 minute per user, thats 79 minutes per update.....

Excited and intrigued about this guys. Can't wait!!!!!!

surprise?

Is it possible for you to share the DB with us?

I'm looking forward to this =)

I didn't do this last time, but I'm intrigued about whether I'll make it to the NHL or not!

Defensive Defensemen are NFL linemen of the NHL.

Last time Calv put in a bunch of hall of famers with misspelled names.
