what up bumpkin, long time, yeah must have been u holding us back all this time
me, swimmer and zaraki finished out the season on a pretty high note (zaraki we are just gonna pretend like the last game didn't happen, ok). Our goal this month was to finish above .500 and we smashed that going 33-13-4. My math says thats 16 games above .500, great job to all who contributed this month!
we will also be adding some new hardware with the ELITE FINISH trophy since we finished the season in the Glitcher Division AKA Elite. All thats left is to raise our 1st banner with a successful playoff run tomorrow.

I just want the acheivement for winning playoff game. Damn robo Jagr stole my only win.
Damn, If I get my grade up to a B, I'll unlock 2 new cards.
What's easiest forward "type" to grind grades? Or is defense easier?TheVisualizer

Player Type doesn't really matter as much as what you do on the ice. Stats should be the only really hard category to get a good grade in. Positioning is easy you shouldn't be getting less than a A- if you follow the blue arrow around.
For TeamPlay make sure you are doing a lot of hitting and passing, and make sure you make your passes count, focus on being accurate. If your build doesn't have enough strength or body checking add some so the hitting is easier to do.
For stats you're just gonna have to make good things happen on the ice or be part of a juggernaut team in a blowout win.
Defense is hard to grind in Drop-In Games because you rarely get passed the puck. Any assists or goals you get are gonna have to be the result of hard work on your part. You are better off sticking with a forward.

Dunno, my team play always sucks but I haven't been hitting since my playmaker can't really hit. I guess I'll try messing with power forward again.

WTF, I just got A's in all my stats in the last OTP game and it didn't count it in my stats... Why does this game hate me?
Does it have to be ranked?

Ugh, makes this fucking painful.
Use a power forward and hit the shit out of anything that moves. Try to chip in with at least an assist per game and play your position as good as possible. If you get 10+ hits in a game, you can get a penalty or two and not get docked for it. Just don't turn it over much and clear the puck on the PK and you'll be fine. Don't even try to dominate a game. Just concentrate on playing smart and you'll have it in no time.Zaraki_Kenpachi said:I just want the acheivement for winning playoff game. Damn robo Jagr stole my only win.

If you don't feel like reading all that, just play smart. :lol

I dunno, I feel like I am playing smart but it's hard since you get literally 0 team work. I usually have to play different so we don't lose by 10 goals and can't get enough touches with puck hogs.

Ya, because you're one of the puck hogging bastards.

so from what I gather, Marvie your intention is to play the playoff game Tuesday evening right?
Can we get a roll call on who's gonna be available from my list of people I feel should be allowed to play in this month's playoffs:
swimmer already said he can't make it, so I'm inclined to say we postpone the game for him...

I'm not 100% I can't make it, but my dad, brother and I like to go watch our local hockey team and usually go to a lot of games so there's a good chance we'll be there. Like I said, I'll let everyone know if I'm going. I don't want to delay the games so if yall wanna play go ahead without me (if I do go to watch hockey).TheVisualizer said:

how about we shoot for wednesday night sometime between 6pm-11pm. Remember to shake the rust off, whoever is playing on the playoff team will be running 2-4 practice games against the CPU beforehand so we dont have a repeat of last month's debacle.
Right now the tentative roster is:
LW - marvie
C- sefskillz / visualizer / pheenix
RW - zaraki / sefskillz / zakkath
LD - schuey / visualizer
RD - swimmer
me and pheenix have volunteered to give up our spots this month already, but if we can't field a full team, one or both of us will take a spot. I volunteered you for center duty sef cuz there's no way you can be worse at faceoffs than zaraki :lol unless marvie wants to play center?
zaraki, schuey let me know if wednesday night in that timeframe is good, I think all the other people I have penciled in to start should be good.

i know, you are the Lebron of the Gypsies, you put up crazy scoring numbers, can play multiple positions... and sure as the sun rises you choke in playoffs everytime
its just for the playoff roster we have a lack of options at center, I'd actually like to play center in the playoffs one of these months as I play it a lot in the regular season now, but we will need to find a suitable replacement for me at LD which schuey or kave_man could be once if they get more games under their belts.

shit I read Marvie's post wrong, he can't make it until late on Wednesday, how about Thursday night then everyone?
edit: Thursday will be fine I think
I'd rather you play defense with me. No offense towards the other defenders, they are great at it but during playoffs we need the two top defenders who also have played a ton of games as a defensive pairing. Better to have a strong defense than faceoffs imo for playoffs anyways.TheVisualizer said:i know, you are the Lebron of the Gypsies, you put up crazy scoring numbers, can play multiple positions... and sure as the sun rises you choke in playoffs everytime

i dont know, what time works for everyone?
zaraki, we still havent heard from you, do you want a spot on the playoff team or what?
I've been trying to figure out what I've been missing in the game this year, and I realized that I didn't put my goal song in yet.
this one isnt doing it for you anymore, marvie? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AX4tSBPSViEMarvie_3 said:I've been trying to figure out what I've been missing in the game this year, and I realized that I didn't put my goal song in yet.
