    Looking for a club for ECL7.

    After hanging up my glove and blocker due to I didn't think it was fun anymore 😕, i'm looking for a club as a skater. Doesn't really matter what position or how much playing time I can get, not sure how much I would be able to play anyways due to busy hockey season. 
    Skill wise there is better options out there for sure. 😂


    If there is a sound and fun group out there looking to fill the roster up for upcoming season and need a allrounder hit me up!

    Finnish, swedish, english und ich spreche ein bischen deutsch. 

    Have a nice weekend 😊

  2. NHL 19 Beta - Vi vill ha din åsikt!

    1) Om man direkt efter matchen låter det gå automatiskt till nästa match brukar namn animationen fastna i skärmen.
    2) Målvakterna är katastrofalt dåliga i arcade threes.
    3) Tycker det är problematiskt när drop ins ger casual utrustningen och då kan det vara svårt att skilja på färgerna på klädseln i vissa fall på hemma och bortalaget. 
    21) Målvaktsspelet känns bra, fortfarande är det lite problem att målvakterna "fastnar" så man måste trycka på poke flera gånger för att målvakten skall göra en räddning. Styrningarna känns aningen för bra just nu.

    Några snabba tankar bara :)

    Ummm, whaaaa? 🤔 

    First or second goal(the one from faceoff)  from us was replayed for some reason. We tought you guys wanted to watch it for what ever reason and did not hit X. 

    Did not even notice you watching replays after scoring. But did notice you guys using start 2 seconds before end of the game with 2 goals lead. And not playing after that. 

    Fair play is important to me. An example can be asked from Aapon Taikasauva from last night. 

    Yes this is what I also thought that it was a misunderstanding all along from our end, I have never questioned your integrity or you not being a fair-play team. Thats why I said i'm sorry for last night.

    Best rivalry for us is with the Deadly Phantoms :) not that we have a problem with them but its always like a fight about who is the best german team :D
    and somehow its getting a "rivalry" with Unknown just because it feels like we play them almost every night and the games are damn good.

    Thats nice to hear bud and yeah I can see that you have a rivalry going on there, I suspect there will be a lot of other german teams coming up as well!

    Fair play chavelski ! When player lost connection u still continue. Nice ☺

    Yes, see I don't think you have to leave the game if its under 10 mins left in the third. I would see us quitting every time if it happens in the first 40mins though. But I guess there is different "codes" for this too.

    So, I just arrived at work and while here is nothing to do I decided to open up a little bit again. I have got some good feedback and some negative feedback from these posts, as it should be, I just find it nice that you have actually made your way down here and read this series. The weird thing is though that people mix it up with the skill of our team being bad as shit because I am writing about the GM struggles. While we definitely aren't the best team out there we aren't the worst team either. But I can't expect everybody to know us and that's fine. But I can't see the connection about opening up and telling people out loud about GM struggles how you relate that to the team being bad? I mean GM's can probably relate how crazy off season can be and what goes down with the daily running of a team. And that is what this post is about, the daily running of a team and my personal opinion of how crazy it is in my perspective and opening up about it. If you have a problem with it just don't continue after these words :) 


    Lets go back to what this topic is really about.. Last night, amazing. One game we had some bad bounces against us but else it was a good night of gaming. A couple of days ago one of our forwards decided to leave for another team, we couldn't offer him all of the games in the upcoming tournament as we are trying to rotate on our lineup. Ideally, in the wildest dreams, you want a lineup of just 6 players working on that chemistry but because this isn't professional in any means and you actually can't play 24/7 you have to have some extra players to rotate. I envy teams who have big lineups and because they have played so long together everybody on the team knows how you play, that is the GM's dream, just to put 6 players available in there and the results are the same no matter what lineup. Okay, just because last night was amazing doesn't mean its going to be that today or tomorrow, so its time to push down the expectations to my teammates. Not that I wanna take anything away from last night but some nights gaming ist just going great as shit and some nights its just shit.


    We played Rusty Blades last night and there was a episode of "watching the replays" after goals being scored. As behalf of our team, I am sorry @Tanski87. We all know it can be annoying as shit and sometimes when your players are boiling in the dressing room its just better to not go for a rematch and start building some bad blood because from our side we really like you guys but last night I took a executive decision and decided not to play you again just because some hotheads in our party were boiling. :D Of course, maybe at first it isn't on purpose and maybe that was your case but it is very childish of us to response when we score to watch just to get back even though maybe it wasn't on purpose but of course after that its just a rally, it gets hot in games and you just work through it. Maybe you guys are making a highlight video and you need the replays but our guys wasn't just in the mood yesterday of watching replays. I am truly sorry for that.


    I have been thinking about rivalries in this game and can think of some of course but I just don't feel/know there are a lot of them? I can imagine the veterans like NOS and 112 have a rivalry and I can imagine @MartindalexC you can enlighten me of any other rivalries? Maybe you guys have some? What other rivalries are there? Shouldn't we be hyping these rivalries even more around the forums or during ECL, make it like a game of the week or something or "Rivalry Night" like NHL does it? Rivalries are bittersweet and add the extra spice to the game, I know some games are just even more annoying to lose and after those games you don't feel like saying much. Generally that is good that you don't say anything after if it isn't positive that you have to say because then we can avoid the personal jumps that we still see on these forums and some guys like to work on. Of course, It happens in every day gaming that you get annoyed and maybe its a bad bounce or just a bad penalty that leads to a goal deep in the second overtime. Here in Sweden I find it a little bit of a prestige thing when you face another Swedish team, the majority of the teams are Finnish so when you do get a Swedish team your hands maybe sweat a little bit extra.


    The time from when the registration started to the time that we actually get ECL 6 going is long as hell. This is the time when the last movements are made between teams and while its fun to see some movement you also wish there would be more permanent rosters in teams. But as long as this is just a hobby we can't expect anything better to happen. You can't decide for someone else that you have to play with that guy, you are going to get into arguments especially because we aren't doing this for our living and you can shut down the PS4 anytime you want. But I have big respect for teams who have had their core stay the same for years! Then there is always going to be one player on some team that just might wake up with the feeling "I have a dream..." and wants to be the captain and put together something own. That ain't really bad either though, you might do it because you want to play with an irl-friend who hasn't played the game for that long and you want to do something with him just that he could have a chance playing in the ECL. That is nice, more players to the community means more teams and that is just great.


    I think its good that we criticise our league system if it is to try to make it better. It is not perfect but maybe some day it will be fair to everybody, we would have less complaints and a better flow. So my advice is that when you do criticise, motivate why you are criticising so that we together can make it better. There is now a lot of staff here with different roles and eyes on everything so if you don't want to adress your concern in public you can always message somebody of the staff in a private message. There is staff that does a lot of work for the community and has been doing it for a long time, @Kenu, @The_Alpha_Furyan, @Lurkins, @gzell60 and @Ranksu to name a few. They don't get paid to do anything, they just try to make something everybody enjoys to be around, so those who just play and complain, my advice to you is, TALK TO SOMEBODY about your concern and watch your language before you say anything stupid. We have members of both genders in this community and its important to remember that going forward.

    Have a nice weekend boys and girls!

  23. The Untold Story of a General Manager Trying to Make It Part 3

    in NHL 24

    Posted

    Tonight we sucked! Okay, we didn't have our regular lineup and had a couple of players borrowed from the community but still. You know those nights you don't get any bounces, you do stupid mistakes and everything you do turns into a failure. Well, tonight was one of those nights. I wouldn't recommend to right away when you've stopped playing EASHL to go directly to HUT, don't do it, it literally makes you wanna cut your PS4 into two pieces and you are quickly reminded why you don't play Hut in the first place. I mean you control the game, have over the twice of amount of attack nevertheless shots, but because your still in that EASHL mindset you won't remember that Hut is about the glitches and other kind of scoring that a human goalie never lets in. So writing this i'm pretty annoyed, maybe i'm taking the game too seriously or maybe its just human nature but oh boy this game is truly a love/hate relationship. 

    Lets get back on track. This series of posts isn't supposed to be whining about other game modes or the game. I mean, we are at a NHLGamer forum, it means somewhere deep down everybody has a passion for the game which is truly nice to see. Oh, I wish the community would have been this big when you grew up, well there wasn't internet in the beginning so that explains a lot but still, wish I would have found myself here about 7-8 years ago. Maybe it would have changed my life in some way, maybe there was a weekend when there could have been sixes lined up but instead you went out with your friends and met new people and those people changed your life so you maybe moved somewhere where you normally wouldn't have thought of. Funny how life works. Still I would say i'm happy for the 95% of my time, those 5% thats missing i'm playing NHL and getting smoked with my friends when your thinking you shouldn't be losing this game. But again, if you were happy all the time and winning all the time, wouldn't it take away the good feeling when you actually surprise a team or something works out what you didn't expect to happen? 

    Okay lets try one more time. 
    We have had some roster changes. First of all I kicked a player for inactivity. I mean if you can't engage to play for more than one night every other week then your not seeing the game I see it. So I had to make a cut. It was difficult because this player had been a part of my team a longer time and always been a guy I could count on, but now there was something missing, maybe it was the passion for this game because he had the time to play other games. Maybe it was the new players on the team that made him feel uncomfortable, I don't know. Its stupid to speculate but in this case I had to make a decision to cut him, the inactivity wasn't fair against the other members and for every day that went by it was harder and harder to insert him in your plans. I don't know how you other GM's do in these kind of things where you have a player, he is clearly not in it by full heart and the times he is available to play you kind of feel that no, he is going to take our gaming down a notch and that is not the thing you want to do when your preparing for the upcoming league. But then again you need backups, hell, I felt it tonight where I had to take in two players only for to get some games going. I really don't like that, because they don't count as "your wins" when you win against a good team because there was that one guy that shouldn't have played for them and he was a difference maker. Weird, I just always get that feeling when you have a freelancer jumping in. Still though, on the other side you get games going and by playing you get better, but its not a team thing you know. 
    After a short while after I cut the player, I found him getting active again for another team, it kinda pissed me off, I mean, where the hell were you all this time? But then on the other side, i'm happy for him, good that he is playing again regularly and don't know, maybe our paths will cross again. So the designated backup forward wasn't there no more, well time to move on with the guys we have and maybe with some passive searching well find someone perfect for the designated role.

    A few days after I woke up with a message. Our defender has decided to quit the team. God fucking damnit. He explained it with that he feels we don't play him the puck often because we are scared to share him the puck so that he doesn't mess anything up. Okay, I understand him on that point because unconsciously we weren't playing him the puck when he was open because we felt that he is going to do something that is going to hurt the team in that game. I feel kind of shame but on the other side I don't. Of course there is the aspect of being left out and the team not trusting you isn't a fun environment in the long run. But in other hand, isn't the most important thing that the team wins? I know for a fact there is players who just loves racking up points game after game and i'll admit that I love having a hattrick instead of the famous "kiikarit", "ugglorna" or any other terms there is for being left out of the scoresheet. But I really don't care as long as we have won the game and I need to have five other guys in the lineup with that mindset or else we can just fold straight away. But thats only human too, it doesn't matter is it on the ps4 or in the real NHL, there is players who live for points and that is basically just a mindset. And of course, if a player racks up points it means your getting goals and that helps your team to win. But still, we need to be on the same page to make it work. 

    Funny how this business here on NHLGamer works. Your sitting with a open spot in the lineup and for a few days, maybe weeks, nothing. Nobody is interested or the players you are getting contacted by aren't interesting enough.
    So you try out some players for a while, but you still have that suspicion that is this going to work when the going gets tough? So after trying out a couple of defenders a interesting person came to tryout one night. I made a party with him and boy, we clicked right away. We talked, we laughed, were on the same page how this game is supposed to be played. He seemed like a good guy, I like him. The only thing is that he speaks english and the rest of us speak swedish, but we were desperate and we needed to fill the spot.

    It'll work though was my thoughts, I mean i'd prefer he spoke swedish but this will do. Then there's the little suspicion, okay, he checked on the part of being a good guy and the other guys are going to like him to, what about his gaming? How is that gonna be, so I begged, please let him be a player who can play this game, even a little bit, the rest we can work on was the thoughts going through my head. So the night of gaming, he joined the party a bit before and clicked straight away with all of our other members. I messaged some of my guys and they thought the same thing, what a nice fella to have around. So we started playing. Okay, he is not Paul Coffey but he is not Marek Malik either, okay so he is somewhere in between, we can work with this.

    The first night he played ok. Then came the second night and he played even better. Nice, this is going to be a nice "unknown" pickup. So then after we got done gaming I asked quickly my guys "what you think?" "Should we sign him?" and all the members were for it. So he asked me in the party, should I still try-out with some other teams or? So I told him that no, we like you and we want you to be a part of our team. So we signed him.

    Then came the next day. I heard some buzzing about a team that were going to fold and a few hours later I got a message. "Yo, so my team disbanded...". THIS CANNOT BE HAPPENING!!!!

    The guy who messaged me was a original member, he was there when we first started it back in the summer and I played on that team that disbanded, were over at his house a month ago partying so I know this guy very well. And of course, I like the shit out of him. So there I am with my new defender in one hand, just told him that yes we are going with you welcome to the team. And in the other hand I had a friend, of course playing the same position, active as hell and of course speaks swedish..........

    Because that's what you want right, friends in a party hopefully speaking the same language playing video games. So I talked to a teammate, I felt I needed to do this quickly and not drag this out. My fellow member said hell yes but what about the defender we just signed? "I know, I said." So I went to the new guy, told him, listen, there is no easy way to say this but here is the facts " a original member has decided to join....".

    So I kicked the new signing before the press conference. Damn, what a shitty move by me but it had to be done. In the long run it had to be done and then there was the fact I couldn't say no to this guy, he was everything we had searched for the whole damn time. I told the new signing after I told him the bad news that I am really sorry it had to go this way and were hoping to get a polite response, well I didn't not get that I can tell.

    The first reaction was "What the fuck? You kicked me out of the team?" Yes, I am sorry, it has nothing to do with your playing skills or your personality because I really liked you on both fronts.

    "Fuck you", he wrote. Then I said I understand that you feel that way but it was not personal and I am sure you will get a new team in a heartbeat because your a good player and a even better guy.

    To that he responded "Fuck off" and theres that. 

    I know this might change my perception to some of you guys out there but sometimes you have to make the tough call, even though this turned out really shitty I still find pride in that I let him know straight away instead of dragging it out and not confront this guy.

    Just be honest, tell whats on your mind but do it with respect to the other person and try to be polite, don't take it too personally if he thinks your a complete asshole in the heat of the moment but if you can be the "bigger person" and still answer it with a polite answer, someday that person might look back at the thing and say he is sorry he overreacted as it turned out in this case also.

    The next day this guy messaged me and told he was sorry. I said I understand. Things happen in the heat of the moment. I also told him that I will try to get him a new team and wrote a recommendation to a couple of teams about this player. 

    I started writing this post about 44 minutes ago and damn I feel better again. The bad results tonight don't seem so bad after all. For me, talking about things works and I am sure there is a lot of people who are the same way. Ive seen at least 5 teams that have been created and folded only during this break between ECL 5 and ECL 6 and a lot of the response I have gotten has helped me understand that is about the daily grind, no matter if you don't have success every night, come back tomorrow and try to make the most of it. A lot of things happen very quickly in this industry but don't let small things get in your way.
