    That's good to know, thank you for this! Current system is kinda good. It's same for everyone for sure but it could be used for matchfixing. For example last rounds of ECL regular season and none would be able to prove it.

    Matchfixing? If some teams want to fix a match it doesn't matter what system is used.

    If you're referring to the fact that both teams would be content with securing 1p to clinch a playoff spot or whatever, both the 2-1-0 and 3-2-1-0 allow that and it's fairly common in pro sports -> teams go into the match with a more defensive mindset.

    I think suggesting someone will fix a match is a bit farfetched.

  2. I calculated last season's regular season standings with the 3-2-1-0 system back when this was last discussed.

    1. LHC 75
    2. JYP 74
    3. HAVU 74
    4. hREDS 57
    5. UB 51
    6. Brayce 47
    7. Roots 47
    8. FBK 39
    9. Vesa 38
    10. KOVA 37
    11. Ghetto 35
    12. SJ 34
    13. Checkmate 33
    14. Luleå 30
    15. Gotham 29
    16. AF 20

    If you compare the standings to the actual ECL10 standings, you can see that not a whole lot changed. The same 8 teams would have made the playoffs and the same teams would have occupied the relegation spots. The only anomaly in the standings is Checkmate, who actually finished 9th with 9 wins in OT out of their 13 wins.

    I'm sure you could replicate these results with the previous seasons as well, so it doesn't really make a difference.

    Yes, I know, but it's very limited. If you want to actually browse something out of that menu you have to go into this full screen menu window to actually do something. Please correct me if my memories of 360 are wrong, but how I remember that system is that you could do these things in menus (parties, messaging, notification settings etc), without having to go to full screen menu/dashboard to do something more meaningful than just turn off your console.

    Yeah the X360 menu was way better.

  4. I don't care either way, I'll buy whichever console the scene is on. However, having played through two different generations both on the 360 side and the PS4 side of things, I do think XBL is a vastly superior service to PSN. On the subjective side of things, my all time favorite controller has been the 360 one, and I do think they took a step back by making the Xbox One sticks too tall and hard as a diamond. I had an Xbox One for a while and ended up shaving the skin off my thumbs with the pattern they have on the sticks. Although I guess one could say you don't have to ram the sticks like they owe you money. #softthumbsconfirmed

     

    EDIT: @Juizki you do know about the quick menu that you can bring up by holding down on the PS button, right?

    It doesn`t change it. But if some teams have to play with shit in their pants with current system because so scared of losing single point or two on regular season, it may have an effect on that. Because meaning of are you first or second on regular season would not be so big.

    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.

    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.

    Best post in this thread right here.

  7. I don't really care which way points are counted as the better teams will still prevail and the worse teams won't. I don't really know if the assumption that "teams play it safe" is correct either. If it is an even match-up with teams battling for the same position, why would you want to give points to the opponent rather than deny them of points by winning in regular time? And if the skill gap is bigger (top vs bottom), the worse team would still try to salvage at least a point.

    One solid argument for a 3p win is that there would be the same amount of points up for grabs in each game, regardless of whether or not it goes to OT. But as I said, I'm indifferent on the topic.

  8. It is completely warranted and understandable for people to be annoyed that they have to play games on an inferior server and it has nothing to do with your nationality or "race". Sending messages like that is over the top, but I do understand why people would prefer someone else to get promoted if it means playing games with a better connection.

    I do agree with what you have said but it slightly annoys me when the suggestion is that it's racism when it clearly isn't.
