OT: Yahoo Fantasy Hockey/NHL Video Game Thread

[bagh]

Shining path, you willing to do the trade you proposed with a slight tweak?

Keep the defencemen out of it. The two RW you want for the centre you listed and replace St. Louis for the C/LW you proposed. Their stats are similar.

The other trade I don't like as much.

Anyone on PSN hit me up for NHL12 we'll start a team/league my PSN is ComradeObama

 

[Don Chytil]

Just picked up our boy Marc Staal in League 3. 1st place and only getting better

 

[NYRangers09]

Does anybody have any idea if its possible/how I might be able to get another online pass code for NHL 12 online? I gave the game to my brother and he cant play online now because I already used the pass

I believe if he logs in under your PSN on a separate user, he can go to your downloads an download the online pass, which is then applicable to any other user on the PS3. Not 100% sure though. Worth a try.

This sounds right, but if he's trying to use the game on a separate PS3 you might have to re-buy the game to get another code.

 

[The Dark Passenger]

I asked earlier and didn't get much of a response, but is anyone interested in a HF Ranges EASHL team for PS3? If anyone's interested I'll make up a team and get this going. It'd be nice to play a real game with people I kinda know vs. a bunch of people who don't know what they're doing on drop ins.

Let me know if you interested via PM or here!

So on one of my fantasy teams I am in the middle of a ****storm. I have the following players:

Marchand- suspended
Byfuglien- IR
Duchene- IR
Skinner- IR

This is just ridiculous.

 

[FultonReed]

i have a minor issue. i normally wouldn't do this, since i seem to have a pretty good idea of who's doing what...but my team is packed with dudes that have been producing. my entire line up is scheduled to play and i'm really not sure who to sit out tonight.

C Henrik Zetterberg(Det - C,LW) @NYI 7:00 pm
C Steven Stamkos (TB - C) Van 7:30 pm
LW Rick Nash (Cls - LW,RW) @Chi 8:30 pm
LW Johan Franzen (Det - LW,RW) @NYI 7:00 pm
RW Nathan Horton (Bos - RW) Wpg 7:00 pm
RW Ryan Callahan (NYR - RW) Pho 7:00 pm
D Shea Weber (Nsh - D) @Col 9:00 pm
D Mark Streit (NYI - D) Det 7:00 pm
D Ryan Suter (Nsh - D) @Col 9:00 pm
D Nicklas Lidstrom (Det - D) @NYI 7:00 pm
BN Ryan Getzlaf (Anh - C) Dal 10:00 pm
BN Vinny Prospal (Cls - C,LW) @Chi 8:30 pm
BN Frans Nielsen (NYI - C) Det 7:00 pm
BN Michael Del Zotto (NYR - D) Pho 7:00 pm

G Henrik Lundqvist (NYR - G) Pho 7:00 pm
G Josh Harding (Min - G) SJ 7:30 pm

i have the only 2 members of Columbus that have been producing fairly well (and not even on the regular) so i'm actually considering sitting Nash, even though he scored twice in their loss the other night. i'm also having an issue at Center. Getzlaf hasn't really been up to par this season and neither has Zetterberg, really. surprisingly enough, for the last week, my leader in Powerplay Points has been Frans Nielsen. i'm tempted to play him, because of his shorthanded play but i'm really not sure, here. i've never had a problem like this before

 

[Melrose_Jr.]

Yah, I think almost everyone is playing tonight. WSH, EDM and LAK off. Must be one at least one more.

Wish I could help you Fulton, but I've changed my lineups like 3 times already. You just know on of the guys who's been producing will hit a wall tonight while someone in a slump breaks out.

haha yeah, exactly. and at the end of the night, or a little before all the games are over, you stare between the guy you sat and the guy you put in like

but thank you for addressing my issue

Bump for 1 week left before playoffs start in Yahoo leagues.

I've got (3) teams in Champs League that haven't made roster moves in 3+ weeks. I need to see some action on those teams this weekend or, as commissioner, I reserve the right to give those teams to someone who is going to play. We're in a position now where playoff spots might be won and lost because of a huge win against a "dead" team. Not cool, even if I stand to be a beneficiary.

My league 5 team is currently in the 6th spot. Not bad considering it was a solid last when I took over. Great league and fingers crossed that I can get into the playoffs.

 

[Melrose_Jr.]

Anyone want to take over a Champs League team that's been abandoned? Currently in 5th spot, last week before the playoffs, top 6 make it. Take over by 7PM tonight and you'll be able to set tonight's rosters.

Agreed, hate free wins due to inactivity.

Yeah, I bombed that takeover in league 5. I don't know what happened, a couple of bad weeks, and a few injuries. I couldn't stop the freefall. We basically swapped positions.

Can I get that team Melrose?

 

[bagh]

hehe. If I beat UAGoalie by 7 catagories I can actually get in the playoffs for a team that I inherited which was dead last.

Don't think it's going to happen as my forwards are struggline but here's hoping for a underdog vitory.

 

[waxring]

Hey guys, my yahoo fantasy hockey team is having a technical problem. Its happened all week long. The total points accumulated every night is different then the points that end up showing on the leaderboard. For example i made 75 points last tuesday when looking at my team roster but the leaderboard only put down 27... Its happened on many occasions, is there anyone i can contact to fix this problem?

Usually issues like this are universal and Yahoo gets them fixed quickly. They do have a support you can contact if it hasn't been recognized as an issue yet. Also I would check their fantasy hockey forum first to see if anyone else is having the problem.

 

[Clowes Line]

Year after year, why do the NHL video games say "New York Arena"?

Just wondering, does MSG have something against signing a contract that lets the game use Madison Square Garden?

When you play and watch the intro to a game where the players skate out, it says "New York Arena" "Capacity: 18,200"

Why not Madison Square Garden?

 

[Kakko]

Because the people designing the games don't know the first thing about hockey.
In NHL 12 the Rangers have the 5th worst defense in the league

 

[Giglio NYR15]

Actually nhl 11 said madison square garden...it went back to new york arena this year. Its either 10 or 11, but one had the real name. Every arena looks the same though. Compared to the 2k models where they make each arena look authentic.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Does it have to do with money?

 

[Blueshirt Believer]

Yeah 09 had MSG, same with 11.

I think some years EA doesn't get the rights, I don't think its so much a money thing as it is a timing thing. At least that is what I have heard.

The designers were all prophets and foresaw the end of the season, that's why.

Seriously though, it's a weird licensing thing I guess. When I used to play EHM all the arenas were "NY arena" or "Calgary arena", etc, but i'm surprised EA cant get the rights consistently.

Honestly, I think the series has had been down hill since 09(that was one of the best hockey games ever made).

09 was also the last year that montreal team worked on it and it shifted to Vancouver. Vancouver I think has been largely mediocre.

I am waiting to see what they do this year, because 13 is supposed to be the last part of the three year cycle. This year is supposed to be their best game. I am skeptical.
