NHL 13 GM Connected League (XBOX360)

[Juice]

Master Team List (since trying to post a spreadsheet of any kind on LGP is complete balls, I google doc'ed it instead):
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc ... pli=1#gid=

beLIEve made a google doc that shows the results of all scheduled games starting with tick 3.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc ... U9TcWhKenc

This doesn't solve the problem of us being able to schedule games more easily. However, this kind of visibility will hopefully cause people to play more games. At the very least, we'll know at the end of the tick who isn't getting their games played.

I'll update this manually once each night, so don't expect it to be real time or anything.

I used the start date of the game on the real life schedule, since thats what the game gives us (rather than the date/time the game was actually played, which doesn't seem to be visible anywhere).

10/8 UPDATE - SCHEDULE WILL ADVANCE 10/21

I'd definitely be interested. Haven't played the 13 demo yet or read much on the online gm, but the concept is intriguing.

[MRandall25]

I'd probably give it a shot.

Play it! The game plays slightly differently. You can't tap the puck forward anymore with LT for example and its harder to check someone off the puck. It makes for a strategic game which rewards good puck possession rather than the usual cheesing we see players use on XBOX Live.

OK. How about we pick teams? We can start posting here which teams we want. If we get 30 people to actually post their interest then I'll gladly start up the league. You want to go first "Itsagreatayforhockey!?"

[Elementary Penguin]

I'd be interested

[malksby8771]

OK I'll run it if you guys start picking teams that works for me. How about I start out by saying I'll be Edmonton.

[Chefpatrick871]

I'll be the Wild!! Pm me your tag.

[MRandall25]

I'll take Vancouver.

[Malkamaniac]

I'd gladly play.

I'd be the Kings.

Can you make trades and such? Also is there a way to create a league with drafting teams and each GM picks their team?

Yes and yes. You could do a fantasy draft in the GM Connected but we're just going to try to get 30 GM's for each team and it's first come first serve I guess. Lots of teams left if you're still interested.

Guys my gamertag is jibdasme You all can add me if you want that should make it easy on me to get the league going.

It's Be a GM but with multiplayer. It'll be awesome. Persuading some friends to join a league at the moment.

If it works properly it could very well be the best multiplayer experience I've ever had.

Oh and the game is awesome (have given the demo about two hours now). EA has spent more time and money and change more things than in years (biggest change since the next gen jump in 07).

Can you be pursuaded to join this one?

[André]

Yeah definitely. Depending on the format though.

Playing takes time. For a thing like this to work and go on for a few seasons I suggest the short (29 games) season format, for example.

Different time zones would be an issue too. But I'd love to look into it. Would be awesome to play a bunch of LGPers =)

[It'sagreatdayforhockey!]

Well since no one wants Pittsburgh, I'd gladly take them. If not, then I'll call San Jose.

[AussiePenguin]

i'll play, but timezone issues may be a problem for me to.

i'd take the Coyotes, maybe move them to Quebec

or draft full teams would be cool too

[GSdrums87]

Me and my cousin do a LOT of Xbox NHL, mostly in the EASHL, but this whole new format of Be A GM is intriguing. We might pick up a team and join you guys.

[Godric]

I'll take St. Louis

[canaan]

I'm in.

Rangers

[Jamie]

I will play. Chicago would be my team since the Pens are spoken for. My gamertag is HOCKEY MAN87. Add me if you want to.

[Chefpatrick871]

I'm in.

Rangers

Great now we're gonna have Canaan rants in the newspaper a la Torts.

[canaan]

At least they'll be comical!

[Elementary Penguin]

I'll take Boston.

Last to pick has to take the Flyers?
