    Hey @Jungledonk, Sorry for the delay. Grey Warewolves how now been removed from the standings and stats.
  3. Kenu
    Hey, sorry we missed this thread! We have gotten confirmation that the Grey Werewolves are out. Their games will be deleted.

    The rules with dates were published at the start of the season, so missing the date is really up to the captain. But sure, I agree, this article would have been an even more helpful reminder a couple days earlier.

    Team player with a big heart looking for potential new home. Contributor on the ice and in the locker room. Favorite position is RW. Currently represent Team Frosty in Elite but looking at options due to no ice time. This has been discussed with Team Frosty and there is no drama involved. https://nhlgamer.com/player.php?playerID=4 PSN ID: KenuFHR

    I truly get your point, but here's my take on the issue: They made changes that a lot of loud people thought were the wrong changes. Also, that feedback was given with no previous experience of the game and while people didn't yet know how to play the new game, so the opponents were also not playing the same way as they are today and thus you might have fond memories of beating everyone 10-0 when nobody could play defence. Hence you can't really go purely on the old feedback if the consensus is that you made the wrong changes based on the old feedback and that's why we are painfully reminded about some of the negative aspects of the old tuner today.

    Thanks for the feedback. If this is a common consensus we are of course ready to look at the rule.

    Shouldn't be - it was removed for ECL 8 as far as I know.

    Are you color blind? (I'm not sure if this is too personal a question?) I'm not, so it doesn't disturb me, but that's the reason why we have the post color rule in there. I also don't in particular enjoy the missing helmets (except it makes it easier for commentary when players stand out), but I haven't heard of an argument besides "it's unrealistic" to forbid it. Does it mess with you being able to tell the opponents from your players?

    Agree with you. This is why all cases are manually reviewed by LA. New case:

    The intention is very important here. In the cases which we have handled so far, the intent has clearly been to interfere with the player rather than play the puck.

    The Game Changers program itself isn't new, but if you're referring to the fact that currently both Game Changers that have daily contact with the dev team and provide feedback and content creators (that are not) are both branded as Game Changers - I agree they should not be called the same. I mean no offence by this to anyone, but it's simply confusing to those that are not in the program. I'm of course in a biased position, being a Game Changer (the first mentioned version), but I couldn't disagree more about the Game Changers (nor the developers) being clueless. Lots of people with different areas of expertise are giving both broad and detailed honest feedback on a daily basis. I agree this tuner is not what our NHLGamer community asked for, but sadly a big chunk of the critiques of the game have been spamming "bring back the beta tuner" and the studio decided to do that for a week to get the feedback. Let's face it - had they brought back only parts of the tuner, the same people would be complaining how "this is not the beta tuner". And thus here we are with the good and the bad parts of it. (These are my own observations and not some internal information) Be sure to fill out this survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/FZMVS62 However, note that you can only do it once - so best to wait until you have played enough to give your thorough opinion.

    Is he going for the puck or to interfere with the player?
  14. Kenu
    Welcome! I hope some team will give you a chance to come try it out. 👋🏼
  15. Kenu
    You guys made us very proud! Congrats! Let's get some more guys over to Washington!

    Hi, Are you referring to HUT switching to dedicated servers? Do you have a video of the on-ice coach thing happening? Are other teams having issues? I've heard complaints about HUT, but not about EASHL suffering.

    More information about "NHLGamer, Dr. Oetker and Elisa kicking off unparalleled 6vs6 experience with ECL 8"
    Erik "@Eki" Tammenpää of FILADELPHIA is the cover gamer for ECL 8. The toughest, most prestigious EASHL 6v6 league in Europe is back – bigger than ever. Founder and owner Kenneth Lehtinen and the NHLGamer organization is proud to present, in association with Elisa, the 8th edition of the European Championship League – ECL 8, presented by Dr. Oetker Rustica. NHLGamer, Elisa Viihde and Dr. Oetker partner up to produce the 8th instalment in the popular and successful ECL franchise, expanding and enhancing the tournament in a number of ways. The collaboration between NHLGamer and Elisa Viihde will bring increased visibility to the tournament as it enables ECL games to be broadcast on the multimedia platform Elisa Viihde. This development will see the quality of our already-beloved ECL broadcasts make a tremendous leap forward. Starting the second week of January, Elisa Viihde will broadcast three games from the ECL top division, Elite, every week nationally in Finland. These broadcasts will feature Arttu Hämäläinen (of IS Cup fame) and NHLGamer’s very own Jani Hetta in the booth, calling the play and guiding the viewers through the most high-skill, high-pressure situations virtual ice hockey has to offer.

Broadcasts will also be available in English or without commentary at the NHLGamer Twitch-channel. Our new sponsorship agreement with German-based international food corporation Dr. Oetker will allow ECL 8 Elite to feature an unprecedented price pool of 10 000 EUR as it makes its grand return on January 7th. The prize pool of ECL 8 Elite will be divided as follows: #1. ECL 8 Elite Champion: 7 000 € #2. ECL 8 Elite Runner-up: 2 000 € #3.-4. ECL 8 Elite Semifinal losers: 500 € The ECL 8 Elite Finals will be played on Friday 1st of March at the LanTrek event in Tampere, Finland and can be enjoyed live at the venue or through the above mentioned broadcasts.

    This is most certainly not the case @Niksu21. The dates are in the rules that will be published in the afternoon. Here's the info you asked for:
  19. Kenu
    Sorry, forgot that in the article. They were also offered and turned it down. Thanks - I'll add it now.
  20. Kenu
    Big congrats to the members and of course to AIK Hockey for recruiting such a quality team! Oops, sorry, I copy pasted the list from your captain and didn't notice the typo. Fixed now!

    Kenu replied to keranee's topic in EASHL Teams

    Fantastic work - love the video and great to see the team back for ECL 8! ❤️👏🏼
  22. Kenu
    Yeah, that's the way we've done it so far. So to explain this in more detail: the top 2 have got promoted automatically the semifinal losers have played for a promotion against the bottom Pro-teams the remaining 4 quarter final losers have stood first in line for a promotion for any open Pro spots after the above, we look at the remaining teams with a Pro application (such as your example above) and decide who would be the best fit for any remaining Pro spots. Exactly - it's all about knowing your own level and where you enjoy playing. I mean the funny thing is that when we were drafting up the three division system, people were saying nobody would want to play in Lite. Well, I think we can all agree that's not the case. So I agree it's possible, but again it has to be supported by the teams actually wanting to play at such a level. True, however for a super talented squad I don't believe they should have to play from LOW-LITE -> LITE -> PRO -> ELITE, because let's say hypothetically that you started in LOW-LITE (come up with a better name, please haha) in ECL 9 (NHL 20), that'd mean you could play in Elite in ECL 12 - second season in NHL 21. That growth sort of story makes sense for teams and players that actually develop from being beginners to true champs and it would be amazing to see. However in today's community it doesn't make sense for players that are already Elite level and it doesn't make you want to put in the time and work. We'll continue looking at this approach as the community, leagues and tournaments grow and develop. Feedback is always welcome. Since it came up with my above reply, In regards to ECL 9 being played on NHL 20, I guess it's good to mention that we are looking at other alternatives for playing NHL 19 after the ECL 8 season. Playing for the European Championship more than once a year per game (ECL 8 = 2019 champion in NHL 19) would lessen the value of the championship in my opinion, so we're looking at other things for players to play outside of the two ECL seasons we're able to provide during the NHL 19 lifespan.

    Thanks for all the input. I would like to point out that the top 8 in Lite have been prioritised over any new teams, no matter what the roster of new teams. My personal belief is that these picks have been quite successful in the past seasons, but please feel free to provide your feedback on this as well. I would also like to know how many feel like there is a need for a 4th division and how many would volunteer in playing in that division.
  24. Kenu
    Thanks for the feedback and good write-up @ahonaattori! I do agree that we could go a little higher in game amounts and we'll take that into account once we know the amount of teams that sign up for ECL 8. The reason behind the low amount of games has nothing to do with the amount of work for our staff (while it is a valid point, that there is a ton of games as it is) and I am strongly against tracking any less stats. There are two major reasons behind the decision in the past to have roughly 10 teams per Lite group: The Lite playoffs take a bit longer than in the other divisions and in order to keep the seasons between the divisions roughly in the same ballpark we could not have the regular season go on for much longer. The amount of teams that quit during the season has traditionally been the largest on the Lite level. With the shorter regular season, we've wanted to make sure the regular season doesn't feel like too daunting of a task even for new teams that might have trouble winning any games. Teams quitting during the season not only causes extra work for our staff, but is very unfortunate for the teams that may have their efforts nullified by a deleted team. That being said, perhaps we can get a roughly 24 game regular season instead of the current 18 for Lite. The final size of the groups depends on how many participants we have. The amount of playoff teams is another question we have to tackle every season. There was some criticism above towards almost all (64/75) Lite teams making the playoffs last season - which is understandable. Then again, 32 would - in my opinion - be way too little, considering the amount of teams and the whole ideology behind the Lite division. You could of course have some sort of compromise in between, but it does in fact take the same amount of time to finish the playoffs nevertheless. Ideas are welcome in this category, of course.

    Congratulations for a superb season and the championship FILADELPHIA! Very impressive job by runner-ups Symphony as well - going into tonight I did not know who were going to win. Hold your heads up high, guys!
