damonster's GM Game #1 (1 Teams Left)

[heyhockeytown91]

I just posted this in the Chatzy, but I'm going to post it here as well because, well, it just makes too much sense.

Why doesn't one league member simulate the season on NHL 12 with updated rosters instead of us voting for playoffs? It would be much more realistic.

I only started this summer as well.

I'll be involved with this game. What I intend to do depends on the results of DHabs game. I can be a commmish or agent regardless, if you need me.

Let it be known to all that I officially "dibs" produce man if he is an assistant GM. Thank you

because people can cheat

So get one of the commissioners to do it, or someone not involved with any team.

and you can't choose who is in the playoffs.

Just pick people with experience, KLLR, Dhabs, Me, Top 6, Produce man, MacTruck. People like that.

that's what I plan, I know KLLR won't do it, but want to see who wants to be, I'm going to pick the most experienced, active GM to be commish/agents

It could work, but a problem I see with it is that a lot of players are horribly under/over rated in those games. Derek Roy is an 88? Right....

Personally, I like what we have now.

you sim the whole season

Edit: also, no buy outs until game starts.

Just so everyone knows

 

[Any Colour You Like]

looking for a 3C, top 6 winger, and a number one goalie. PM me on here or on chatzy for player inquiries and offers.

Uh, why exactly is it preferable to have a vote as to who makes the playoffs as opposed to simulating it?

1. Over/under rated players in NHL 12.
2. NHL 12s sim system sucks.
3. This is about who can build the best team, and IMO, GMs votes can get closer to that than a simulator. True, the best team rarely win the cup in real life, but I think this is more about who can build the best team than accurately showing how a playoff series would go... because that is impossible.

Even taking all three of these into consideration, I think simming is a much more realistic option. What's to prevent a GM from ranking a team last who he didn't have the best relationship with trades and such?

Law of averages says one GM ranking a team badly will be over-ruled by the other 29.

Neither system is perfect by any means, but I think voting is closer.

Has any game on this board ever tried the other way that you know of?

This is only my 3rd game, so I have no idea.

It has been talked about using other methods, however it has always came back to being quicker and easier to use votes then NHL sims.

Gotcha. Looking forward to this either way.

 

[donghabs98]

if anyone is rebuilding please send me a pm. I have prospects to move

also shopping MPS

 

[hlaverty06]

PM about Larsson

 

[Michael Farkas]

You guys need an experienced agent for RFAs? I could lend some time to help, I'm a bit of a stickler (i.e., no one is signing a player with top-six forward upside at the age of 21 to a 4 year deal worth $1.25 million per year...or any nonsense like that). Prefer to do RFAs because I know what's required of qualifying offers, one-way/two-way stuff, etc. If you need someone, feel free to PM me, if not, that's fine too.

 

[KuralySnipes]

need legit top six talent, and offensive + defensive depth

David Krejci is willing to be packaged for a puck moving defenseman or top 6 scoring winger

 

[donghabs98]

Looking for a assitent GM since i am in Toronto. Your job would be to use our resources to fill in our needs and make EDM better

 

[heyhockeytown91]

I am a first-season GM who is also looking for an assistant. You could help out as much or as little as you'd like and it would all be appreciated greatly. PM if interested.
