Good job Appon! Thank you NHLgamer Staff to make this Tournament. Hope see everybody in ECL6 and maybe new faces too

I have to see one fake slapshot in pro finals!

I wish the playmaker had any form of balance / strength, the fucker is so nice to use but he gets jostled off the puck like a geriatric waiting for a hip replacement.

I guess the power forward thing still applies in most players' opinion? That's still the most popular choice of build by far. (Apologies if resurrecting such old threads is frowned upon here. I didn't want to start a new thread.)

Gongrats Aapo, well deserved!

A big congratulations to Aapon on winning the finest trophy we have in this community - well deserved! GGs to SJK as well who fought til the very end. Well done all of you!

Can relate. First game ever with player classes I accidentally picked Defensive D. Not sure I have recovered properly since.

I don’t think it’s as clear cut as merely taking a look at what others use would make it out to be, for example SJK successfully utilizes other player classes amongst their forwards. I think people use PWF now because they have always done so + if your opponent uses PWF’s, at least you’re not ”giving your opponent any leash” by using a possibly inferior build. Everyone should use whatever feels most natural. I switched from playmaker to PWF in NHL 17, and while at first it definitely felt very clunky, I feel like it is the best build at the moment. Jumbo isn’t bad either, though.

Monte Carlo are pleased to welcome the latest addition to the team: Veskku of Tiki Talk fame! He plays RD. Also, it has come to my attention that filip15900 never actually said he would join the team so contrary to what was originally stated in the opening post, he's not a member of Monte Carlo at this time. My bad!

That’s because your offense is limited anyway.

While I agree, I feel like we are starting to see a bit more variation. A few jumbo playmakers, hitting snipers and grinders out there. Nothing resembling pure playmakers, danglers or snipers though, haha.

Congratz Aapon! By far the hardest team to play this season. Fair win!

Evolution Is looking for a forward (center, possibility for a winger aswell) We are also looking for a backup defender. We will play in Elite next season Interested? Contact me here or PSN Crisu_Rottis We will play the pro finals before even thinking about tryouts, but make sure to apply early.

Nice Aapo!! Gongrats!!

Yh i dont see personaly a point of all of those players builds, if 90% community use PWF and than there is 10% others.. EA should really work on the builds to balanced them out on next NHL, probably that will not happen so we have only a hope, that the Indian guy will finally start to work on things what he suppost too, not making every year new game modes which no-one plays.

Hybrid best atm.

I would use ply or jumbo ply if their pokes would be better. Pwf is the most balanced build so thats why i guess people uses it

Powerforward is very OP. You dont need to tackle with it, just skate against the opp and bounce lol Sadly the smaller builds are to weak in this NJD traphockey style of game

Ever since EA added the player classes I have stayed away from the Power Forward like it's the plague. So clunky skating wise. Though, when you have to deal with the fat man-lag on most evenings you tend to shy away from the bigger player classes. No need to feel heavier than what you already do.

Gratz Aapon!!

Still taking offers. A small addition to the previous post: Preferably looking for pro+ teams, so the backup positions is also better than fine by me. Intensively hard working, promising D, almost mr nice guy. Good with women. Smooth kisser, fiery lover. Dont hesitate to hmu.

congratz Aapo you were the far better team than everybody else so well deserved

Grats aapo! Bit surprised that you won without @puke85 fake slapshots.

Come on svennar! Going for pro, usual playtime after 20 and active players more than welcome.

I'm searching for a new club to play EASHL and participate in upcoming ECL tournaments. I prefer to be goalie but I can also play decent defense, doesn't matter if it's ld or rd spot. I'm still interested more about playing in the Elite teams but I don't automatically decline offers from Pro clubs. The main thing is that my usual playing time is about 20-22 FIN time (on weekend can play more if I'm at home), so teams games should be around 19-23 FIN time.

Swe/fin (dont understand or speak finnish) goalie lf any g spot in a elite team Just pm me for more info

Well it was pretty much a joke but but.. I've used previously hybrid goalie (besides NHL 12) but in this version I always felt that it's not strong enough, since butterfly goalie tends to feel more agile and faster regarding the reflexes. Butterfly is also the strongest class when it comes to rebounds which tends to be pain in the ass (at least for me). It's just my opinion, but since hybrid is only ''good'' in pretty much every category, butterfly is ''great'' in some categories and pretty weak on some other categories. The point here is that the categories where butterfly is weak are pretty much irrelevant so it's not worth to use hybrid eventhough you will get job done with that class also. For example butterfly lacks vision, which actually is pretty important stat in this game but since I myself play quite aggressively in net, it doesn't matter if my goalie has no vision when I can just push out from the net and close the angle. Some other goalies like to just stand on the goal-line so butterfly might not be for them since without vision deflections and shots behind the screen are pretty hard to save. Standing goalie has always been weakest in my opinion in pretty much every NHL, but it also depends what is your style as a goalie. Standing goalie has always been so weak against low shots no matter if you are standing in the net or in a butterfly. In the other hand butterfly should be weak against high shots, but when played aggressively enough you can close the angle pretty easily. Standing goalies strengths are just crap, so when choosing between hybrid and butterfly, it all comes to how you play in net. For me butterfly is just outstanding (in my opinion NHL 16 butterfly is the best class ever in NHL games). But yeah those are only my thoughts and opinions, everyone might not agree with those but since I have something like 5000 games in goal overall I think I might have a small clue

I think i read somewhere it will be some new classes in nhl17? One bigger sniper with no playmaking skills but big hits and a bigger playmaker that would remind off Joe Thornton. Not sure though. Muddymosquito plays sniper and sniper only. He just play like 5 games every other month tho. Skål
