Canes checking in.
This looks good. The problem is I suck so bad at controlling these games. Being mostly a PC gamer I don't have much experience with either post Genesis-era sports games or modern console controllers, and generally revert to button mashing as I try to remember what button I need to push to do a certain move. Most of the time I end up icing the puck as I accidentally shoot it in yet again from behind my own red line.
No biggie! We all gotta start somewhere! Inever started playing CoD until 3 years ago. PLaying online, I was brutal. Takes practice.
I wish the Free-for-All mode would come back! It sure helps with skating and puck skills.
Coming out from the basement!!! I'll take the Oilers.
Already have this preordered. With over 100 NHL12 online games played this past year this was a no-brainer. I'm in for some league play if there's room.
Then I will lay claim to the Blues.
Gah! I'll fall back to either Philly or Boston.
All it takes is one decent season for the bandwagon to get its wheels going :p
More St. Louis Jayhawk fans! It's pretty amazing how many of them there are.
Somebody's got to class up the joint.
I could be up for a GM Connected league.
As long as no one minds me sucking.
Well why the f*ck not!
Well why the f*ck not!
Excellent! I'll pencil you in for the Leafs.

Just for clarity for new guys, Green has the Habs. Unless he's really lost all patience for them, which, given they took Kaberle off our hands (!) and gave Cole half the Province's GDP, he might really have. (Smooooooch!)
If Green has any sense at all, he'd take the Sens instead.
See what I did there.
If Green has any sense at all.
Have you seen my f*cking avatar?
Yes. This is actually my dog. No, really.
Mon Dieu!!!
I'd be willing to give a league a shot.
Give me the Sabres.
Just wondering of the players in the league, what's everyone's skill level?
I've played EA NHL on and off since '92. Really started playing in 2002. But to be honest I lost interest in 2009. What they've done with the game is amazing, but I just found the speed in the game was lacking.
So to rate myself, less than Intermediate.
Seeing as ColdForged has the Canes, I guess I'll call dibs on the team I grew up rooting for...the Islanders.
The league needs at least one rebuilding project, right?
I barely played any real head to head games. I'm more of an otp guy so this will be kind of new to me
I updated the OP with the information who is calling dibs on teams, adding B Dog's choice of the Islanders.
And while I am a huge fan of rebuilding teams in all sports games, the chances of multiple seasons is pretty iffy. If I set up the league, I will try to use the shortest schedule as possible.
Understood. I was mostly being self-deprecating about my choice of team. That said, it will be fun to play with Grabner, Tavares, Okposo, Moulson, et al. And what are the odds that DiPietro gets hurt in a fictional league?
About as good as odds that Ryan Whitney gets hurt in the first 12 games. Ugh...
Out of curiosity, how would a league work? Are we talking just online play vs. each other, or the whole GM package where you manage your team, go through drafts, trades, etc.? I've played a ton of NHL12 this year but almost exclusively online head-to-head play. I know next to nothing about hockey team management. Not saying I wouldn't do it, just curious how much I'll need to temper my expectations.
And I'll just plan on Flyers if someone else would want Boston. Philly is the team I've played the most in NHL12 so I'd probably be most comfortable with them anyway.
I'll take the Kings, of course....This is XBox .. right?
I think GM connected is the way to go. Managing your team won't be that difficult, editted lines can be saved.
1 thing that could make things difficult is if they include their AHL affiliate. But if anyone is having difficulty, I don't mind lending a hand.
That scheduling method is awesome
