Playing 10 minute periods. Out of the season, how many of the games do you guys actually and how many sim?

This is my first ever NHL franchise so I'm still trying to get a feel of it.

I asked the same question in this thread. What I do is play opener, promotional nights, 60-75% of divisional games and some Wednesday night rivalries. I sim all other games and if it is tied at the end of the third I jump in. Takes me about 3-4 weeks for a season with playing a average of 90 mins a day with some misses.

Nice work with the jerseys and colours, I like it.

I tried to make the same colours work but just could not co-ordinate it well enough for my Seattle Battlecats franchise so in the end I opted for Black, Orange & White. Perhaps I'll share a photo later when I get back from work.

As for amount of games played in a season, In the past (on previous releases) I have played every game from preseason through to finals however the problem with that is I'll get 5 or 6 seasons in and then I am burnt out from playing too much. Also because of this I opt for shorter 5 minute periods.

I played the entire first season with this current franchise and probably played the first 20 games of my second season before recently deciding to play every 5th game. Now the season is going quicker I am enjoying watching my team suffer losing streaks which is much better than me dominating every season and it's a tight race as to whether I'll make playoffs or not. (If making playoffs I may choose to play every 2nd or 3rd game - we'll see).

Anyway best of luck and enjoy learning!

Need a mascot for the Nordiques. Any suggestions? I know Nordiques is Northmen, so I was thinking Viking.

Finally had enough time to sit down for a couple of hours, and really focus on building a team.

I also went the expansion route, with the Houston Reign. Logo is the lion head, color scheme is dark blue, dark red and gold. AHL Affiliate is called Spokane Spirit, with the same color scheme.
