I have.

I'm glad it's Elite teams, players & captains who can decide how things work in Elite. At least with this current meta & gameplay, you just need to play one season in Elite & you will understand why three point system wouldn't work. But you can use that in Pro, Lite & Neo, I don't mind. As Eki said, games are too short & as Juizki said, game is not competitive enough to support 3p system at least in Elite. And tbh, the difference is quite huuuuuuuge! 3p system is not a saviour which reveals that Elite is really more even league, it would only take points away from unlucky teams, which didn't manage to score before game went to overtime. We all know how this game works. Better idea is to cut 4 teams away from Elite, if you wanna make it look more even. 2p system is not perfect, but 3p system is not solution. If people thinks Ghetto is full of criminals because of OT fights, then we should probably talk about giving 0 points from OT losses in future, but idk if Elite players want that. I don't know if I would support that either. Probably not. We just need EA to make better game, not new point system. Peace.

Why is it stupid? Said teams who have barely lost any points are by far and away a cut above the rest, in fact the difference between them and the rest of elite is effectively an untraversable canyon, so the current system seems pretty fine to me in that it accurately shows that. Also, maybe tone down on the whole sexist overtones. It doesn't take a genius to figure out how so many games are low scoring this year, or why so many teams are playing 'park-the-bus'. Goals are down, not because there's a big conspiracy and people are "ladies", but simply because the game that EA has given us does not lend itself to 6-4 games like it did in the past due to a whole host of reasons, like the impact that small nudges have on players now to name one. It's a shame Consolehockey is rip because I could have shown you tournaments where the 3pt system was in place and let me just say it wasn't pretty. If you thought the current system leads to a runaway top 2/3 then you'd be in for a shock at some of the standings from the past.

I’m really sorry but I just don’t get this.. How would any point system make 6th seed team better than now? 3p system and EABUNKA would have hands like Penatski and IQ like Dominointi?

I dont think that a team that plays shit in their pants have that good shot on winning the title anyways

What? How does 3p system change this or did I miss something?

Yes I’m playing for money only #GUCCIGANG #BILLIONAIREBOYSCLUB #YACHTCLUB

Currently seeding #1 after regular season is such a huge bonus for those 3 teams racing for it

Oh and another thing, what would be even more stupid is that with the 3-point system a team could go through the regular season unbeaten and not finish first. 🤕

I think that solution to this ¨fkin stupid¨ thing is to make a summer cup-style draft teams for elite so there is no this kind of stupid situation!!! So called ¨mailajaot¨

Winning the regular season massively improves your chances of winning the title.

WORD FROM THE CAPTAIN ''This has been a long journey. After Nightmare, rebuilding started from January first I think. Almost from scratch, @illbiocandy being the only teammate from last season. Expectations before the season were quite high, but we didn't expect that there would be such challenges. It was a little bit slow start for us, but after that with the help of some mid season recruited experience, we were able to play more solid and gather points from almost every match up. Overall, regular season was good for us! Anyways, I'm happy how it turned out and I would say that we have good chance to go far this season. Long way I would say, but I'm happy with all the changes we have made so far and now we will aim to win every playoff series with still quite a few aces on our sleeve 😉'' - @Kozek77

Could you elaborate on this? The playoffs would still work the same way. The major advantage of finishing first comes to play in the semifinal match-ups, not in the first round.

What @PleeMaker said. Also, if you take a look at @KepakkoFIN's list it also opens up a debate on how and why certain teams go to OT and why some of those teams win majority of their overtimes meanwhile others lose. I hadn't thought about Checkmate's potential 3-points system record, but looking at that list we'd truly be in a horrible spot right now, only because we couldn't smash the puck into the net before OT. Yet we've come through 7 times out of 9 when the next goal decides the game. I have an explanation of my own for the reason why, it's up to you to figure out what's your opinion on it. As long as we're talking about winning regular season, only the top teams matter because they are the only ones competing for that regular season win. And if you say it doesn't matter, you might want to take a look at the prize pool in Elite, especially the difference in cash between finals runner-up and semifinals losers, and think would you rather face seed 4 or seed 2-3 in the second round. Assuming that the odds on favorites win their first round series.

Well those single points would probably decide regular season winner, I don’t think it should be like that.

With 3-2-1-0 point system Elite standings doesn't look that different. Everyone just has bit more points and some spots has changed. 6. Kova 8-2-2-9 32pts 7. FBK 7-2-3-10 28pts 8. Roots 7-2-3-8 28pts 9. BPH 5-5-2-10 27pts 10. GFB 5-1-10-6 27pts 11. Gotham 6-1-5-10 25pts 12. Luleå 6-1-5-10 25pts 13. SJ 5-4-2-11 25pts 14. Checkmate 1-7-2-10 19pts 15. Pompa 5-1-0-12 17pts 16. AF 4-1-2-15 16pts (There can some mistakes)

With the game being as uncompetitive as it is, and having matches where even the most lopsided matches can be taken to overtime on such a regular basis, we should never have a 3-2-1-0 point system. Otherwise we'd have bunch of underdog teams stealing singular points from the top teams just by placing a bus in front of their net through out regulation and going for harpoon attacks. It could also result into a situation in which the better teams would have to go for all out attack to secure full 3 points after playing a very frustrating even game, just to get downed to 0 points due to last minute bounces and other cheesy plays. If we want to encourage teams to be active and play as aggressively through out the game as they would in the first period, we'd have to consider 2-0 point system in which the winner gets 2 points and loser gets 0 despite whether the game is decided in regulation or OT. Anyhow, there would be certain faults with this system as well.

What???? #1 seed would still be pretty big thing like now?😂😂

You don`t get nothing of winning regular season. But i get it if price money is only motivation to play and your team is among those 2-3 teams that can win with this system.

We got full points against Clumsy Penguins, GGs! MVP: @Aze This was our last regural season game. We want to wish good luck to all the teams we've been playing against in this season!

I my self am surprised of how tight this poll. I don`t think NG will do any changes with these results so we have to wait for more people to realize whats wrong with current system. No offence to Ghetto Firebirds at all.. Great team and specially @Jeresti rox!!! But still, i must mention that look at the Elite standings now... it looks like some lame ass football standings. GF is ahead of teams that have won 50% more than GF. GF is just above playoff line, with one win more than league bottom Almost Famous.

Hi guys , we need a goalie

I assume you mean the "stealing singular points" part? I don't mean underdogs would be stealing points as in gaining that 1 point for going to OT, but that they'd steal points from the odds on favorite teams' point totals (the better team would lose 1 point just because they got dragged to OT). Imagine one of the top elite teams, for example, who have to face these "park the bus" plays on quite a regular basis and how much it would affect their point totals during one season. Of course this applies to every team that's better on paper than their opponents, but it would hit most dramatically on the best ones.

Free RW looking for finnish team! Can play RD/LW but prefer playing on right side. Backup role is fine too. Ready for tryouts ofc. Lite/Pro Contact me on psn: Kkarkass

Thanks for your post! Maybe i am just too tired, but i just don`t get it... what would make this underdog team want that one OT point more on 3-2-1-0 system than 2-1-0 system? I would think that underdog has more reasons to try to fight from that single point on 2-1-0 system, because on this system single point is relatively more valuable.

Best post in this thread right here.

Not sure a 3 point system awards attacking. On the opposite I do believe the team that has the one goal lead plays even more defensive in order to protect those points. There is a charm to that as well but not sure it leads to more goals. OT is also in general less exciting since both teams already lost one point each. Think 2 point system is good since there is a playoff as well. Makes the group stage a bit tighter.

Well it is quite simple, If you boys really try you can get it. Just try to think about it. If 3rd and for example 6th team closer on same level, it does not matter as much what team you face on semis or quarts.

Tone down? Oh man you are such an adult. I hope this will change a bit in tournaments to come. I hope we will see more teams that have a shot to win the cup.... just like in real hockey. And another thing is that with current system a team could go trough whole regular season by losing every game and still win a cup.

Yeah it is. But who outside of those 3 teams thinks that this is a good thing? Not majority of viewers or players is my guess.

Yeah thats true... i checked AF and Ghetto games and there was 1 point bigger difference. But when there is 50% more points for win i think difference is relatively smaller. GFB have only one OT win, if i remember it right. That means that on that part you have not gained any edge. Still to me that standings looks a bit better. At least those top teams would have lost some points. It so fking stupid that on this point of season some team have lost only ONE POINT :DDD With European point system they would have lost 6 points. On my eye that would tell a bit more that the difference between these teams is not quite sooooooo huge. But to me this is more about ideological stuff than something that you can see from standings. The difference between Hockey Dudes and Football ladies is that hockey Dudes are alla about scoring, kicking ass of opponent and they fight all in for the win. Football ladies are more "lets hope that we don`t lose this one" and everyone have fun...and omg do everything so opponent cant score... then those ladies throw high fives after a nice 0-0 tie.
