OT: Video Game Thread Part III

[EliasFTW]

anybody else notice Brunner is missing in the latest roster update? I can't find him on the Devils or in the free agent pool

I had to add him from the Swedish national team

 

[EliasFTW]

So at draft this year Elias St.louis Jagr selanne and souray all retire on me. Crap i think im screwed next year. Somehow i sit 37-20-4 at the deadline already at the goal that was set for wins still need the get in the playoffs but a nice little rebuild.

Steen (84)- zajac (87)- Ryder (83)
Clowe(82)- Henrique(83)- Gionta(82)
Latendress(81)-loktionov(80)- Moss(81)
Tedenby*(77)-wellwood(79)- Brunner(79)

Greene(83)-Larsson(82)
Ballard(81) - Fayne(81)
Robak(79) - Zidlicky (80)

Schneider (86)
Brodeur (85)

*Turns out it was Anthony Brodeur i traded not Teddy

 

[EliasFTW]

Haha never been this happy playing Be A GM. won both the Stanley and Calder cups!

 

[B A T M A N]

If Schneider goes down you're ****ed!

From the sounds of the nhl14 trade engine and what I'm hoping sounds like he's playing trades on easy, he could just trade a future 2nd round pick for one of the leagues elite goalies and the other team would still have to give back a decent prospect

Trade difficulty is on Medium.

I was thinking of signing the merk that is Nabokov. I may, but I want to give Veilleux some games. He is a top 10 pick that I drafted, with 4 star potential. He will most likely be my goalie of the future. I have Anthony Brodeur in the minors tearing it up so if he ***** the bed I can just call up Anthony. There's always options.

I kinda hope McDavid takes another couple of years to develop. My center depth is insane right now.

[SeidoN]

won the Cup year 4. made a couple moves at the draft/offseason

To ANA: P Kane, Loktionov, 20th Overall, 60th Overall
To NJ: 1st Overall, 7th Overall, 22nd Overall, 37th Overall

with the first pick, I took a guy who I found in the prospect game stats that was 82OVR off the bat. 4G potential, insane passing already. good stuff

I also wanted to get a new 1C and move Zajac down, and put Henrique on the 1RW, that meant moving Baertschi. so I waited till the pre-season for his boost. he went up to 90. I did a search for 1st liners with >85 faceoffs and found Duchene. didnt realise they had boosted Duchene's faceoffs so much from last year so I got him. exact deal was

To COL: 2018 1st, 2018 2nd, Baertschi
To NJ: Duchene, 2017 1st, 2018 1st

also reacquired Tedenby and signed Raymond for depth. team as of now is..

Ryan (87) - Duchene (88) - Henrique (88)
Scheifele (86) - Zajac (87) - Heward (82)
Fioretti (81) - Granlund (83) - Tedenby (83)
McLaren (78) - Josefson (83) - Raymond (81)

Larsson (85) - Brodin (81)
Demers (83) - Lange (78)
Fayne (82) - Burlon (82)

Schneider (87) - Lack (84)

 

[EliasFTW]

I have a goalie situation worse then Vancouver. Schneider 29 (87), Niederberger 23 (85), Toni Eskelinen 20 (80). Might trade Schneider at the deadline he has one year left. I just know im im gonna have 10mil locked in net ig both get any better

I currently have:

Schneider - 87 - 6.5M - 8yrs left
Lack - 85 - 2M - 5yrs left
Tokarski - 82 - 1M - 2yrs
Brodeur - 78 - 700k - 2yrs
Kinkaid - 74 - 700k - 1yr

probably gonna seal Tokarski. he was good in the AHL and hes to good now. need Brodeur in that starter spot. id deal Lack but thats an awesome tandem

 

[DevilChuk*]

spent about 50k modding a hummer for the big heist

during the mission, attempted to throw a grenade.. it hit the ceiling and landed right on my beautiful car

its okay though.. I'm sure I can afford another one

 

[EliasFTW]

Couldnt sell Schneider. Rode him to another cup. He wanted 7.8million so i let him walk. Both Niederberger won the AHL goalie of the year in 2015 Eskelinen won it in 2016 after i brought Neiderderger up to back up Schneider.

 

[DevilzFan]

Was able to play a few hours of GTA Online last night on the PS3. Not bad. Not great either. It's just okay.

That said, it will probably be more fun with a "crew", so if anyone playing on the PS3 is interested, lets start something. Or if you've got one, I'll join.

hahaha I know dat feel. Gotta use sticky bombs not grenades. And you will most definitely will be able to get one after that mission.

 

[EliasFTW]

Anyone else not waste time drafting outside of canada? Why no Juniors program for the rest of the world? Kept McDavid and another top prospect in junors for two years. Came up with a overal in the high 80's

 

[EliasFTW]

Ah Mathias Neiderberger you make my team 1 ted lindsay 1 Vezina 1 Jennings 3conn's 4cups. Sad we hight have to part ways as you are a ufa and im broke

 

[SeidoN]

another year done. a 2nd round exit to the Pens sigh. anyway got some players NHL ready, got a draft pick at 11th who is 77OVR already with 4Y stars. playing in the juniors this year but hope hes a beast soon. Heward, my NHL ready pick last year is an assist machine, with 55A in his rookie season. his offensive awareness is beastly. my 2nd year 1st rounder Sam Bennett is also ready, who is gonna end up really good imo. Granlund also leaped to an 85, but I have Duchene now so flipped him for a new high potential D man

roster ahead of the new year is

Ryan (87) - Duchene (90) - Henrique (87)
Scheifele (86) - Zajac (87) - Heward (84)
Fioretti (80) - Josefson (83) - Tedenby (83)
McLaren (78) - Bennett (79) - Raymond (81)

Larsson (85) - Murray (85)
Fayne (81) - Brodin (82)
Lange (80) - Burlon (83)

The Schneider (86) - Brodeur (83)

after the 3rd or 4th yr the prospects go all over the board.

The first 3 years are CHL heavy because the CHL is in the game and uses real players.

killing time with some Kerbal Space Program. so pointlessly addictive lol

 

[kiwidevil]

Should I buy GTAV now or wait for it to come out on PS4(not that i am getting one straight away)?

 

[DevilzFan]

killing time with some Kerbal Space Program. so pointlessly addictive lol

KSP is one of the greatest games ever conceived.

 

[Holtz My Bahls]

We should make a poll of which consoles we are getting PS4 vs. Xbox One...

 

[B A T M A N]

GTA Online is working for me now. A lot of fun to be had there.

 

[kiwidevil]

F U guys. I went and bought it.

 

[DevilChuk*]

spent five hours straight playing GTA campaign tonight.. trying to get to 100%.

Went from 72% to 83%.. this may take awhile

I thought I had pretty much all of it done but apparently I have ****loads more to do.. and they don't even require you do EVERYTHING to get 100% (so I'll probably still be going after I hit 100% because I'm OCD like that).

I just got to 85%. I may stick there for a while once online starts working.

Bruce are you Xbox or PS3? I'm Xbox
