OT: Yahoo Fantasy Hockey/NHL Video Game Thread

  • Xenforo Cloud will be upgrading us to version 2.3.5 on March 3rd at 12 AM GMT. This version has increased stability and fixes several bugs. We expect downtime for the duration of the update. The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
Lets do it then, but let's make it a keeper league with 3 keeps season to season.
 
Anyone liking NHL 14 so far? I just picked it up during lunch and can't wait to play when I get home from work. I decided to go back to the 360 for it.. I had NHL 13 for PS3 (I did 09, 10, 11, 12 on my 360), but I prefer the Xbox Live interface for teams/leagues/etc.
 
Guys, I've renewed HFNYR-1 from last year. You all should have received an e-mail to rejoin.

If we have openings, I'll post the link to join.

The demo was amazing. They fixed the HORRIBLE true-performance skating from last year..the fighting engine is awesome ,and overall the game just feels better.

gonna play madden for a few weeks then pick it up.

The skating style is optional with regard to the "true-performance" garbage from last year....so you can choose skating the resembles NHL 12...but sometimes, for no good reason at, it switches back...I dunno. Scoring is tough.

Are you saying there's an option to utilize the .'TPS' or not? Are you talking about 13 or 14?

overall the demo just feels better than last year's. actually never really played 13 much...just didn't like it.

I played it for a while last night on 360. I like it better than 13. The skating, hitting, and puck physics feel much more realistic than last year. This is the first NHL game that feels like it takes place on Earth to me. The default Ranger lines need modification though in my opinion.

Also, the actual game has been tweaked significantly from the demo. Much better now IMO.
 
Does anyone have experience in how Yahoo's scoring system works in regard to categories that overlap?

For example: You can give out points for goals and PP goals. Will a PPG score the base points for a goal with the PPG score added on top, or will it just give the amount that is defined by the PPG parameter.

Let's say: Goal = 1p, PPG = 0.7p.

Would a PPG gve 1.7p or 0.7p in that scenario?
 
Putting my hat in the ring for any openings this year, my g/f will co-manage with me.

Also keep me posted if the champions league gets going again.
 
Joined a 10 team head to head yahoo league. This is my first time playing fantasy hockey, and I would like someone to rate my team as it currently is.

3. (23) Corey Perry F
4. (38) Kris Letang D
5. (43) Bobby Ryan F
6. (58) Braden Holtby G
7. (63) Loui Eriksson F
8. (78) Alex Pietrangelo D
9. (83) Justin Schultz D
10. (98) Jonathan Huberdeau F
11. (103) Andrei Markov D
12. (118) Dustin Brown F

I feel like I neglected the goalie position somewhat. I feel like trading for a solid goalie.

Thoughts?

Edit: I'm also down to join you guys if you have a free slot.
 
I have opened up HF-NYR1 from last year, as some members haven't re-joined yet.

Your goalies are horrible. You can't ignore that position.
 
Any openings out there.

Prefer:
H2H
10+ teams
Lots of Pts columns emphasising depth not just scoring ex: hits, blks, FO, etc....
