NHL 13 - CDC Sim Connected [PS3 SIM LEAGUE] pt 4(ACCEPTING NEW MEMBERS)

[Tangelos]

Surely hockey video games are games though? It's right there.

[coleman26]

Hockey is hockey. Doesn't matter what form.

[Tangelos]

So, what I'm taking from this is you'd kill a man for his hockey cards, yes?

[coleman26]

Certainly not me.

[Tangelos]

Certainly not me.

Duclair is out 15 games, which might as well be the season. If I go back to back 7s, and EA counts all of them, he could be back for Game 3 of the Finals. Now, to adjust.

This series shouldn't of started yet.. I haven't been able to set lines. I don't really care as I'm not really LA but I should be able to at least get them ready.

[shiznak]

This is serious business.

I wouldn't be in this league, if it wasn't.

[coleman26]

Trav booted you, CPU did it. It's your second team, I'm not waiting all night for you to set lines

Just sim through them, I don't really care but you shouldn't just sim without asking me first especially since the CPU just re works all the lines. I had Lehtonen in the minors so he shouldn't even be playing, he hasn't played a single game all year.

My only concern is that it will hinder the progression of some players, I know you wouldn't cheat so that's not it at all. I really didn't expect LA to beat Minny so a 2nd round loss is a success for the Kings

[coleman26]

77 ovr Gabe Gauthier will go top line with Beleskey and Crosby. See if his crazy shot pays off.

Puck drop on Game 2. Connolly finds Toews in the corner, who turns into the slot and puts it top corner. Toews is making up for a 1st round so dismal, I came back into town thinking he was injured. Helm just poked checked a loose puck and sent it top corner, but nabbed by Lehtonen. Also, I forgot to set AI again, which is a weird mistake to make twice. LAK penalty coming, 2 minutes high sticking. Green scores, CDC freezes. From Crosby and Elliott, I believe. Also, Rogalski gets a helper on the first goal. Gauthier loses the puck in the neutral ice. Good shot, not great at hockey. Possibly dragging Crosby's minutes down because he's got terrible endurance. Connolly for Game 3 is likely. Varlamov dives across the net to rob Laplante of a rebound. For the record, Laplante was 1st star last game, and is looking great here. End of the 1st, Colorado up 2-0, shots are 16-6 Colorado, hits are 2-2, faceoffs are 6-5 LAK. Gauthier fluffs a one time attempt from Crosby, right in the slot. I'm blaming Gauthier. 30 pts from the 4th line this year, cannot catch a pass in the playoffs. Brodie just destroyed DSP, luckily I am at my injury limit! Blain tries to pass out from behind the net, and Steve Smith's it right off of Lehtonen. Larsson gets the credit, and it's 3-0. Fact: if you give Kyle Palmieri a whole zone lead on Kingberg, he will still lose a foot race. Even though he's had about 1m in this game and Klingberg has had 12-15. 11m left in the 2nd. 2 on 1, Kuenhackl and Osala, goes glove side, robbed by Varlamov. Not a lot of hitting, and few shots by LAK, but every one of them dangerous. Barker finds Gauthier on the off wing and it's 4-0. Still playing pretty badly though. Gauthier, I mean. LA picking up the pressure, Osala and Reddington with a few chances in the latest round. End of 2nd, 4-0 COL, Shots 28-13 COL, hits 4-3 LAK, Faceoffs 12-8 COL. 3rd coming. LAK putting pressure down, but it's a lost cause in Game 3. Try not to get hurt is most of it. 16m left. Noesen gets a loose puck in the slot and guns it five hole. At 5-0, I'd expect Campbell to come out for LA.Hamilton scores one to save a little face, then Clutterbuck gets it back. 6-1 game with 4 left. Namestinkov gets a beauty with just over 3 left, 6-2. No goaltending in this series at all, I guess. Game 2 draws to a close and I'm just going to sim the rest because this has stopped being any ???? fun whatsoever.

So, it's different from your Cup run when you booted 2 human teams so you could watch? It's a CPU team you're managing. It's not your team. I'm watching the games.

Not worth rating by shabbiness though?

[coleman26]

NYR was one, I'd have to go check. You were commish and the first 2 rounds, you were facing teams that weren't responding, so they got the boot. You played CPU rounds against them, and no one questioned, which is fine. I'm just saying, it's a CPU team, and whether I sim or watch now, the same players are in. No difference.to who gets the experience now.

[mpt]

I was the Rangers the whole season as he was on holidays and asked me to run his team while he was away.

With the Rangers I watched the entire series between Philly and New York as he wanted to watch. When that series was over I watched Washington and New York as I was the GM of both teams.

[coleman26]

There was one more, I remember because 2 teams asked me about it, and my reply was that if a team isn't going to bother being around for the playoffs, they deserve the boot.
