Peacerich_se

33 yr old swede looking for a socially active swedish or english speaking club on any level (doesnt necessarily have to participate in ECL but if it is I can play in all divisions/teams with the exception of maybe the absolute best teams in Elite) as long as its active ( 4+ evenings/week) and play 6vs6 and NOTHING else on EU-servers. I can play all positions but im probably best as a D or C. "Peacerich_se" on PSN.

Yes, but again, im just brainstorming like I said earlier in the thread, 10,14, 16, 22, 30 teams, whatever. Like we´ve agreed on earlier Elite is, based on skill to big already, it wouldnt be any different if more teams where added there would still be a top 8ish that would be in 6th gear going full throttle so it really doesnt matter if its 8 or 14 teams that are just about to get into 5th gear. Its about thinking outside the box and not get stuck in this pro thinking that we are some sort of pro organization that has got big sponsors, hundreds of players that has got this for a full time job and tens of thousands of "fans" following the games on twitch. My idea with teams from Lite and Pro being able to get a spot or two in the Elite playoffs would have been insane if it was a pro organization, but now it isnt, its a community and its not like i think that this system is killing the community in any way, shape or form I just cant understand why people seem to be so against giving all teams that participate, regardless of division, at least in theory a chance win and it probably wouldnt happen and it would just be on behaf of one single team from Elite if so. As far as pro goes they would already have proven that they could hang with a group higher because they just got promoted, as for Lite its a different story ofcourse but like I said before, let them play the winners from Pro and the 8th team in Elite for that spot or give them the 8th spot in the Pro playoffs, make it however you want all Im saying is that it should be possible.

Yes, they would in my example but in my other example they wouldnt necessarily have to just steal that spot right off, they can play team 7 for it and the team from Lite could play team 8 for their spot, Unfortunately there cannot be 16 playoff teams in Elite when it only consists of 16 teams and with the promote/regulation system Elite would have to expand in order for this to work, therefor in my other example if Elite was expanded to like 22 teams or something it could be done with 14 teams from Elite and 1 each from Pro and Lite. You could also have a system where top 7 in Elite goes to the playoffs while the winner from Pro faces off against the winner from Lite and the winner in that matchup plays number 8 in Elite for the final 8th spot. Like I wrote before this can be done in a million ways but what I´ve wanted all along here is just to bring up the fact that I think it should be possible for all teams to win the cup, IN THEORY, if its every gonna happen is not interesting.

Ok, interesting, look at your qoute below that you posted in my original "suggestion" less than two hours ago. If we would just go by that scenario (7th Elite spot to the winner of Pro and 8th spot to the winner of Lite) Synergy would have beaten Carlsberg with 10-1, 7-0 etc, I disagree.

Question is who is trolling here. Yes, Lite is mainly for beginners, when have I ever said anything else? What I´ve said is that there are some teams in Lite that are as good as the worst teams in Elite. And yes, the absolute best (again 8ish) top teams in this community probably wouldnt lose a playoff series against the best team in Lite but its not like that would win 10-0, 13-1, 8-0 and 10-1. I do not fear Lite teams more than Elite teams, jesus, try and read for a second will you? There are SOME teams in Pro AND Lite that i fear more than SOME of the teams in Elite. You dont have 16 elite teams in elite, no, which was exactly what i wrote before. Sure, its the spirit of the game, couldnt agree more, I love it! In my opinion the best team from Pro and the best team from Lite should be given the chance to participate in the Elite playoffs, how we should do this I dont know but I love to have a discussion about it and hear some ideas about how it in theory could play out. How people can be so against two wild card spots for Lite and Pro I dont understand, its not like im suggesting that the playoffs be played with the 6 best teams from elite, the 6 best teams from pro and the 4 best teams from lite I agree, they should have "more" access to the Elite Playoffs this is not a pro league, its a community where we like to compete. Again, im not suggestion a huge playoff with alot of teams from lite and pro being matched up with the elite playoff teams, just two spots, one for Pro and one for Lite. No offence to them and you are right, they wouldnt win the Elite playoffs and I´ve never claimed that they would but they wouldnt get battered with 4-0 and a goal difference of 44-3, they would maybe lose 4-0 but thats a different story. The top team from Pro would have to face lesser skilled players overall, yes, but they would still have to win the whole thing which would mean that on the way they would have to beat opponents that are as good and in some cases even better than some of the teams from Elite, so they would still deserve it.

Care to elaborate on that?

It depends, if we were professional as f*ck there are maybe 8ish teams in this community that I consider clearly being above the rest, so if Elite was only for the very best teams we could more or less cut it in half, not that I want that, suggest that or think that it would be a good idea, it would be a disaster for the community, much like how it would kill the Premier League if it was cut in half There are quit alot of teams both Pro and Lite that I fear more then some of the teams in Elite. Off topic, but still. Apperently Elite spots are up for sale now, it will be fun to see where we go from here if people start buying spots left right and center.

I agree, but neither is the current 16 and again, lets not focus on the exact numbers and "suggestions", 16,18,20,22,30,10, whatever, lets discuss the possibilities on how we handle the "problems" with missplaced teams. Im not a big fan of divisions myself but since the community overall seem to be pro divisions I´ll kind of have to take division into consideration

Its not a pro league, we do as we please with who deserve what and why, my point overall is that I dont see why the top team in Lite and Pro shoulnt be given a chance in the Elite Playoffs, how this should work we can all discuss but that is what I want and I cant possibly be the only one who think that its a good idea that before every season ALL teams can at least dream about it. Does it have to be the number 7 and 8 spot? Ofcourse not! Expand Elite to like 22 teams and give playoff spot 15 and 16 to Pro and Lite, have team 7-10 in Elite and the best team in Pro and Lite play short 6 team tournament where the top two teams get spot number 7 and 8. This can be done in a "million" ways.

Try and explain how my suggestion is a joke and why?

Yes, in a world where this works it would be, but something tells me that every single season for as long as NHLgamer has got this division system working like it works right now the best team (or maybe even a few teams) in Lite will be better then the worst teams in Elite. If the team winning the Lite Playoff then get a spot in the Elite Playoffs, I dont see what is wrong with that. They dont even have to get a spot, the can play Elite Team number 8 for the 8th spot. If this League or community was pro for real we wouldnt have to worry about it in the same way because teams wouldt come and go by the dozens every season and there wouldnt be issues with teams swapping more or less the entire roster.

No, it wouldnt be easy because you wouldnt be the only one trying to do that. What annoys me with the division system is that you have to play in Elite to be able to win the cup, I think that it would be a much better system if all teams, regardless of Division at least in theory had the chance to win and not limit that oppertunity to the teams in Elite.

Or we can just make it so that all teams, even the teams in Pro and Lite can win the playoffs in Elite. As it is right now the top 8 teams in Elite will play the Elite playoff, why not just cut it down to the top 6 teams and give spot number 7 to the best team in Pro and spot number 8 to the best team in Lite. *Edit - With automatic promotion for the team in Lite so that new teams, or the best team in Lite could just jump over Pro.

...and the division system is somewhat good but its not fifa with that huge player base, 10 divisions is 4-5 too many.

EA keep saying that they´d like the game to be more competitive so why should it be possible for the net to come off to begin with, at least in a 6 on 6 matchup. There are just so many things that would make the competitive scene alot more competitive with just some small adjustments to the game according to me. I´d like to see some easy "before lunch" adjustments, and this is for the EASHL 6 vs 6 scene, not the rest. Injuries, what is the point? Get rid of it. Fighting, same thing, pointless and more or less never happens anyway. Stamina, fuck this, full steam space machine it feels like its just there for no reason what so ever if anything make it possible to at least see how much gas you´ve got left.. ALL players should be able to perform all moves at all times, its just so annoying when you lose control of the puck for no fucking reason with like a defensive defenseman. Net off moorings, pointless and is just used for obvious reasons. Games are to long, sort this out by using real minutes instead of the "real time fast clock" and adjust the penalties accordingly, Id say 3 x 3min with like 30 sec penalties. That way, all games that doesnt go to OT would be pretty much on the spot 10 min and not like now, anywhere from like 20 min til the next game comes out. If draw make it a 3 min overtime, if draw after that a 5 round shootout. The overtime and shootout should be a setting that the home team can pick before going into the game (for playoffs etc). To challenge a club why do you have to go to totally different dressing room where nobody ever is? Wouldnt it be nice to just be able to do that from the original dressing room so that you can just challenge a team and not get matched up with the same random team over and over again, this would also be a great tool to see if the fucking search engine works to begin with and see who is playing. Reconnect to games if you are disconnected, duh, this is possible in "indie/arcade/low budget" games such as rocket league, but not in a AAA-franchise such as NHL. If the goalie gets disconnected he has got like 30 sec to reconnect, if he fails to do so another player has to take the goal, I want no bots, EVER, same thing goes for penalties etc, if there are alot of penalties just add the time to the skaters who are already in the box or replace them with the new ones but no bots, ever, if people rage quit you better finish your game with 3 or 4 players. It should be possible to change your lineup once you see who you are up against, pretty much like a dropin before this position thing got into the game like 2 years ago. I like the new drop in system for sure when most people just want to play F/C but its pointless for a serious team. Highligts/replay: These are way to short, the highligts for the goals are like 2-3 sec long, make them like 10 sec or something instead.
