OT: Yahoo Fantasy Hockey/NHL Video Game Thread

[Player big P]

I'd like to see one of those "*******" memes re: NHL 13 with how annoying it is.

"Sets up on power play, open man at the point-
Dumps it back into own zone."

"Odd man rush-
Pass to no one"

"Racing for loose puck-
Avoid loose puck"

The puck loves to bounce away from all my players or tip off their sticks or they just flat out overskate it, and it NEVER bounces to open ice, it ALWAYS goes right to an opposing player. I had it bounce down my entire roster the other day, tipping off each player on the way down, all the way down the ice and into my net. It's laughably easy to tell when you're about to be scored on because for a period of time beforehand EVERYTHING goes wrong.

I'm done *****ing for now I guess.

Anisimov Fantasy Value

Hi guys,

I didnt know where to post this, so i figured you guys would probably know these guys the best.

Who do you think has the more value, or is the best right now?

Artem Anisimov or Brian Boyle ?

if i ever had the chance of having

Anisimov vs Boyle + Gustav Nyquist, should i jump on it?

(Im owning Anisimov right now)

Thanks for the reply !

 

[broadwayblue]

Artie. He'll get more ice time this year and should outscore Boyle by at least 10 points.

Is this a one year league or a keeper league?

If it's a one year league, I take Anisimov. If its a keeper league, I take Boyle and Nyquist without thinking twice.

Rangers GM has decided to get bigger younger and faster for the 2012-2013 season.


Rangers traded Gaborik to Avs Landeskog

Rangers trade Brad Richards to Hurricanes for Jordan Staal

Rangers trade Bickel 1st 2014 to Wings for Smith and 2ed 2013

Rangers trade Christian Thomas and 1st 2017 to Bolts for Ryan Malone

 

[Punxrocknyc19*]

Ryan Malone gets his first as a NY Ranger in a 3-0 win vs L.A. Kings. Pyatt and Stepan had the other goals..Miller gets his first NHL point on an assist on Pyatt's goal.

Jack Campbell is by far and away my favorite non-Rangers prospect. Kid is going to be something else when he hits the NHL level IMO.

Is anyone out there looking to join a club for XBox?

We're looking for a center and a dman but really anyone is welcome.

PM me for details.

 

[Callagraves]

I do really love this game.

 

[broadwayblue]

Hey guys...I need some help with online modes as I generally play the xbox 360 season mode at my place with my buddy. I'm trying to figure out how he and I can play together on my Xbox against my cousins online, who each have their own Xboxs. Is this possible? I've tried practically every option but can't figure it out. At one point the game mode screen showed "Guest: 1" for my console but we couldn't invite online players to join. I even bought my friend a Live membership thinking that might be the issue...but still no luck. This is beyond irritating. Any ideas...or is there no way to mix multiple local players with online players?

You can play against other people online with guests. I have played against people who have had guests before. You can invite your cousins to an xbox live party and then create a match with your xbox live party. I am not sure if you can play against 2 xbox's though. I know you can play against one xbox with two controllers hooked up to it.

Yeah, the party mode let's the two of us play on my console against one other xbox...which is fine if you only have people at 2 locations. Why do they have this limitation? Weak.

It's weird because when you play in the online league mode, there's what, over 12 xbox's connected to each other online? Because the game can handle the online league mode, it should be able to do what you want.

Exactly. 12 people connected via 12 xbox's is ok, but 4 people on 3 xbox's isn't?

Rangers are on fire.

I’m not sure if this is the best place for this, but there is an active NHL13 GM Connected League for PS3 that is about to start its off-season (currently finishing season 2). There following teams are available: BOS, BUF, CAR, FLA, MON, NYR, PHI, PIT and WIN in the East and ANA, CAL, DAL, EDM and SJ in the West. Current rosters were posted by the league’s commissioner on the EA Sports NHL thread in the Fantasy Hockey & Video Games section here: http://hfboards.mandatory.com/showthread.php?t=1417095.

Seeing as your team is open (although there have been some roster changes,) I was hoping to get some interest in joining. We really have a good group of people with an solid and dedicated core of GMs. Only mandate is to join our Facebook group to converse, talk trades or setup games. The Commissioner does a lot to keep things organized and moving along. He advances every 5 days (off-season will be different, so please sign up soon, if interested!) Feel free to PM me or “Devil X” for more info. I know he's a Devils' fan, but he does a great job. If I can get along with him, then anyone can! Thanks!
