I'm currently 5-6-1 with the Blues, made some trades and signed Vince Dunn to a contract. We are off to a slow start but hopefully we will get it together soon.

What difficulty/settings are you playing on? I extended Makar and Landeskog for extremely reasonable prices on my franchise.

The overall layout I definitely copied from posting feedback on TNK's sliders from his thread in the sliders setion. I just started doing this over the weekend so I am open to suggestions of other types of things you would find interesting in these posts.

Just wondering..


What sliders are you using?


I would love to do a dynasty story but don't have time to play every game and fill out the score card..


Im thinking of doing a recap style based dynasty and posting league wide news every 2 weeks or so, just have to figure out logistics

Most of the season I was using TNK sliders, but I was winning every game and scoring 6 goals easily. I just switched to Al Tito's for the last 7 or8 games and they just have the super AI feel and it gets frustrating because sometimes you can't hold on to the puck at all. I'm always stuck in the zone between Pro and All Star.

Scoring has been tough for me this year as the goalies are much better. I'm guessing 90% of my goals are from one timers.

Would like to see more snipe goals and tips.

Iam off to a great start in my franchise with the leafs 6-0-0 made some trades before the season got Tyler Myers from the Canucks and Paralyko from the Blues but when i play games its been hard cause with the latest pathc and etc i feel like the AI is more agressive esp in my own end iam using TNK sliders and tuning them to find a perfect ballance..
