If Madden doesn't get fixed, I will be playing NHL a lot more. If you need a defenseman with long range shooting skills, let me know.

MrBob, what's your SC name and league?
MrBob.841
Been playing mostly with friends against the CPU online I still need to finish a couple placement matches. 1-1 right now but I might tank my final three to put me in the Bronze league. Gonna finish off the campaign, and then head straight into the league. Have to decide if I'm gonna scrap all the Zerg work I've done in practice for the Protoss before I do so.

Sweet, we should play some matches. I placed Gold, but I don't think I deserve to be there. I'm more of a bronze silver player.Mrbob said:
I'm loving Zerg right now, but am probably "better" as Toss. I wish I would have done my placement matches as "random" to get placed a bit lower, but oh well.
Laserbot.274. Add me, I love doing comp "stomps" with my friends ("stomp" is a bad term since we usually lose to an equal number of Hard AI).

Fuck, hype +45!
That looks RAD.
I can't wait to combo up some orange, blue and gray for some tastelessly awesome uniforms.
Edit: Any news about game face? Or whatever their catchy name is for using your face in the game?

Bummer about Game Face. I hate the snarly NHL faces you have to choose from. Another year of pink visors for me.Marvie_3 said:Orange, blue, and gray? What the hell?
Game Face is apparently not in this year.
I'd wear a pink visor even if Game Face was in the game.
Orange blue and gray are the colors of GAF. Look around once in a while, man.

So it sounds like we might have to split the team up into a couple different teams to start. According to the EA Live Chat today:
So in order to get everyone a playing spot, we could form ~4 teams, have a draft, and even play against each other sometimes. Once people start to drop we could form up back up with one team again.

I agree to multi teams if we have a cap as well.
Can't do that. My awesomeness would require a contract that blatantly circumvented the cap. EA would throw a fit and we'd just have a mess.Zaraki_Kenpachi said:
The EASHL practice mode could be a big help here. It'd get newcomers practice time with the game and also get each team practice time with each other.NoRéN said:
I think if we're going to do the multi-team thing to start, we should start with 4 teams and depending how many more people join closer to launch, we could go up to 6 or more. Plus, we'd get more awesome looking jerseys. :lol

SnakeswithLasers (awesome name btw!) I'll add you in my SC2 list when I get home later tonight!
What is the best deal right now in picking up nhl 11? I have a 20 dollar gift card from Madden I can use at amazon, but I can't stack a gift card into a future purchase. Game is $57.99 with some digital magazine issues for free. Anywhere else running a sweet NHL 11 preorder?

Whoa, a draft? This sounds way more organized than we'd ever been in the past. But I'm down with it. Although we won't be drafting due to skill, so what's it going to be--alcohol tolerance? Asshole tolerance?
Since everyone seems to be in support of the multi-team setup to start, I think we'll start with 4 teams. Depending on how many people join this next week, we may go up to 5 or 6. I'll captain one of the teams. Laserbot may or may not be a captain. Who wants one of the other 2 captain spots? If you do, you need to have the game on release day. That way everyone can play as soon as possible.
Goalie would work great. If each of our teams had a goalie it'd make the games more fun.Fixed1979 said:

So if we're going to do this thing with multiple teams we probably should go through and find out what positions people AREN'T willing to play.
It sucks being on a team and having to play D if you don't want to.
For me, I will either play RW or Goalie. Note that I suck at goalie even more than I suck at RW, so I'd like to be on a team of like-minded suckers.
It's going to be tough coming up with a team size that allows people to play the position they want, but that guarantees there will usually be on at least enough (2) people so that you can get in a game when you want.
EA is dumb for not just forcing you to fill up your game before they'd unlock another dressing room (so if you have 8 people on, you need 6 to play in one game before the other two can play--and you're locked out of joining another game until the one you started in has finished, so you can't just start a game as goalie and then drop to get in the next game).
But whatever, I'm sure we'll still have fun.

Ya, seriously. The reasoning behind it is pretty stupid too.SnakeswithLasers said:
On another note, I think my 360 controller is finally dying. :/ Guess I'll have to find another one cheap.
I think just drafting from the positions listed in the OP would solve the positioning problem. I figure that drafting 6 for each team will keep anyone from having to sit out.SnakeswithLasers said:
It is stupid about the single dressing room but I get why they did it. Teams that have 50 players always rank higher than the ones with 5 just due to the amount of points/games played. I assume there'd be an easier way to fix this but I guess not.
Just buy a different one from Gamestop, swap out the innards, and return the broken one. Works every time.Zaraki_Kenpachi said:
