How many have the game on PS3 and how many have it for 360?

I know tgraveline started up a GM connected and we want as many members as possible (for 360).

We can't start one without having more members, feel free to add me anytime (GT is MacAttack362).

Sounds good, get your dibs in on the Wings because I already took the Penguins.

Penguins shouldnt even be allowed!!

Canucks are even better and the Rangers are stacked too.

And are they available?

I would assume so, just ask tgraveline.

For those of you that want to join the XBOX 360 GM Connected league, just search "Dobber Hockey" and pick the team you want to be.

I'm Pittsburgh, not sure who TG is.

[hockeyrobot]

Yep I PMd him. Either way I'll be in it next week.

Are we waiting for this thing to get populated before we start it up?

Yeah, pretty much.

How does it work? Just worried I wouldn't be able to keep up or I would join in a heartbeat. I only get on every couple days or so though.

What skill level is the league at?

Basically its like Be A GM, you pick a team (could be your favorite or someone else) and you play games against the rest of the league. You make trades, sign free agents and play against other league members.

I believe EA lets you set up custom AI, so that if you're offline the computer will play the game for you with your own strategies in place.

Its supposed to be the best new feature of the game, so I'm excited about it.

I don't think we're all-stars lol, we all play for fun.


I hope to see you both in the league!

Pittsburgh, VAN, and NYR are easily most stacked teams in this game.

Also, for anyone looking to pick up one of the Oilers for their team, go for the Nuge. Holy shit he's good. 2nd year he put up 80 points in 82 games and in my third year he's got 22 points in 14 games so far (and 2 hattricks!).

It's weird - when I play (ie: not sim), I pretty much score at least a goal with Hall every game, usually 2-3 points. He's got such a sick wrister and stuff. But when I sim, he sucks despite being top line, playing with RNH and stuff... he scores about ~60 points a year; meanwhile Bartschi outscores him playing on the second line. Eberle I haven't found to be a very effective player simming or playing, despite the fact he's an 86. Might look into trading both of them as Bartschi needs top line minutes and I have Callahan who can replace Eberle on the second line... though then I'd need new 3rd liners.

Also, if anyone does set up a PS3 GM Connected, count me in.

I'll try my best to set this up after work tonight.
