coleman26 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Yes, but it took forever. Your 3rd and 4th lines get so easily pinned down in your zone since USA is so stacked. Hard, but fun. You can trick shot it, if you don't mind ruining the fun of things. Also, from what I understand, there's a HUT tourney win redemption problem with the demo anyway, so you might not get anything by winning it today. Still, crazy fun. Between the new gameplay and GMC, I'm more stoked than I've been for a game in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpt Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I beat it the first time I played. I haven't tried it since, is it that difficult? I'll try again later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenixlipinski Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I got to the finals, lost, and started over. Then lost to NJ. Started over. Made it allllll the way back to final... Too many contracts expired and the only consumables in the demo are tons of training cards... So i was stuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coleman26 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Oh, yeah, you can lose to Shawnigan and try again with the same team, but if you lose to New Jersey you basically won't have enough players left. So, if you lose to Jersey, just quit and re-start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanucksFanMike Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 The Jets need a 4th line LW and backup goalie! If you would be willing to negotiate a trade involving those two needs of ours, PM the Jets now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksFanMike Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 GM Connected doesn't allow for custom rosters and the commish can't force trades through on day one, they can only be sent to him for approval. The game starts on day 1 of the regular season, so no pre-season (again, as of mid-July. May change for launch). FA signings and trades don't occur until the GM advances an interval, which will likely be a 2-week interval given that it's a sim league. This means everyone is stuck with their default rosters for the first 2 weeks. Many of the trades can't be made in the first interval because it will put at least one of the teams below the cap, thus the game won't allow it and it'll never even get to Trav. We'll have to wait for those teams to sign free agents first. Here's where it'll become a nightmare: The below floor teams will need to sign free agents and the free agents go to the highest bidder. Odds are a lot of these teams are going to put bids in on the best players, which means a lot of teams still won't be able to make their trades even after 4 weeks of game time as only a few teams will land the big names left. We'll have to do another 2-week interval before those teams can make trades. First 2 weeks default roster Can make trades and bid on FAs in first 2 weeks, but the transactions won't take place until the interval is advanced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coleman26 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 sub question, trav implied yesterday that some NHL player movement that isn't reflected by the update might have to be moved by him. If we can use the 'current' rosters, can we not just do like we do in our own league and go into roster management, update the rosters manually, and then use what is listed as the 'current' roster? Then all we have to worry about is moving the draft picks along, and we can do that pretty easily. Edit: nvm, read that wrong. Although this may still be a possibility, it seems like either we'd get to update the rosters (through the first update, or whatever) or not update at all. Hopefully someone with the Stanley Cup edition can let us know a few days before Edit 2: Apparently the Stanley Cup edition doesn't give you the option of unlocking 3 days early this year. This has been a very unsuccessful post for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DollarAndADream Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 Regarding editing rosters before I start the BeAGM, I'm not sure it's possible. I don't think you can. The way I see is they wouldn't let you. Somebody could edit their team to 100overall and then start it. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
