I'm pretty sure Marvie said we'd do an offline fantasy draft. Since GM Connected doesn't do fantasy drafts we HAVE to do it offline... and then we'd just trade around picks/players as needed to get all the players/picks to their picked teams. So all you get to "keep" from your selected teams will be pre-set assistant manager stats (I assume, and scouting stats etc), and the logo and name.

That seems like it would be more of a pain than just doing random or sticking with the teams, but we'll see, wish they had fantasy setting on the online mode. :/

Yeah we'd have to draft A LOT of players... Randomizing would probably be a better idea, that
s true. Sticking with the teams is IMHO not THE best idea, since it's just not equal ground :D

The other things is that it would screw some people anyways with what order they draft in and what not, that's fine for entry draft but I don't know about setting up your team to begin with.

Well fantasy drafts are always done serpentine (so, 1st doesn't draft again until 60th, etc), so that normally makes it more fair.

But yeah, I'm also disappointed there's no real entry draft :( You can only select I think how you want your assistant to draft (Best player available, best D/LW/C/RW available or so), not actually pick player x... but oh well. Will still be fun.

Yep, that's my biggest complaint about the mode and also how they are doing free agency with "bidding rounds". Hopefully in future installments they actually give us the option to do it properly. But they did actually add online GM mode with a ton of different options including doing it in co-op (hopefully we get more info on that part here soon) which is what I have been wanting since they added GM mode. So baby steps I guess.

Actually, I'm okay with bidding rounds for free agency. Better than the "you either get the bid right the first time or he's gone" system they have in place with the AI. Multiple rounds are more realistic, since a player won't just look at first offers and accept the best, he'll go around asking for more with other offers in place.

Also, what do you mean by coop? I know they have options that you can either play as a full team, only GM or as an individual player, so it can be up to 7 (or 6) people per team (1 GM, 6 players) AFAIK. So it could THEORETICALLY be a league with 30 teams of 5 people each team who all play full-on 6v6 games.

But I think for our league we'll keep it at 1 per team. :p But we COULD join a random full league as a GAF-team (maybe you can have even more players onyour team, just only 5 playing at the same time, like EASHL)

Here you go, it is the online team play but with all of the GM features which is what I wanted:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFXcAAjFKJ0&feature=player_embedded

Co-op Online Team Play in GM Connected is what it is called.

Also regarding the bolded, I think you might be able to do something like that or it seems like you might be able to with the video I posted.

Edit: Another video that explains it a little more, though I'm still a tad bit confused with the co-op as he mentioned it would be more with a buddy on a single console, but hopefully you can do online as well as in me and a friend can control and play for a team against the AI in our own private GM connected league.

Doing an offline draft is going to take forever since it'll just take one person not being around for a while to stall it considerably.........

My last two hockey games were NHL 99, and ESPN NHL Hockey which came out in 2003. I had to manually edit all the goalies in ESPN NHL down to have ratings between 20 and 40 to get them to play properly.

Completely forgot about that Canada/Russia series started today, I guess it doesn't help that it's on while I'm at work either.
