I prefer randoming for a few reasons, it lets me practice with the different offensive plays/forecheck setups, and get to know players outside of the big names and Hawks, which helps for my fantasy drafting a bit.

Randoming vs. Good Team vs. Being A Homer
Just wondering how you guys pick teams for online versus matches...myself and my buddies pretty much always random for teams, even online vs. strangers, but it seems we're in the minority online(so far it seems everyone picks Vancouver or Washington like they're Ken & Ryu). So just curious, do you guys pick a random team, go with your home team, or just pick a team that is rated high/has a high-rated goalie?

Re: Randoming vs. Good Team vs. Being A Homer
I watch every ranger game and only play online versus or franchise with the rangers solely. Even exhibition games. That way I am familiar with my team and how can do what where. Not that it is much of an issue since many of the players seem to play very similar.Comment

It also doesn't really help me that the Hawks are a trendy pick right now, I guess. Half the time by the time I even hit the lobby the other person has already chosen them so I can't really be a homer if I wanted to, lol.PSN ID: NalsoComment

Re: Randoming vs. Good Team vs. Being A Homer
I picked the LA Kings to use online versus this year. I dunno why. Not a fan of them, but don't hate them either. I like that they're young, and I think those all black jerseys are sharp. I'm 7-0 with them so far so I'm sticking with them at least until I lose.Comment

Re: Randoming vs. Good Team vs. Being A Homer
Almost always do i Pick the New York Rangers...always.
Then, there are those times when the bandwagoners (you can tell who's who) pick teams like Chicago, Pittsburgh, Washington, Detroit, San Jose or Vancouver. Thats when I usually counter with one of those teams.www.youtube.com/BillyWagner13

Re: Randoming vs. Good Team vs. Being A Homer
I have not been online in this game yet, Heck I didn't even get into my NHL 10 last year. But I plan on eventually getting online when I am better and I will be the home squad, Nashville. I am willing to go random in European Leagues with people using other EL teams.
Offline I am playing hut (offline) like a fiend. I also play some International Tournaments with USA. And I will mess around with the Europe leagues some. But if it is a NHL game or tourney I am Nashville
Back on old xbox I played NHL 2k(whatever) online and I was always Nashville and I would lose 9 of 10 games I played. I didn't know what I was doing and Nashville was one of the lowest ranked teams. So everyone that had a mic would ask me, "Are you from Nashville or something?"XBOX: Orangeug1ad

I always use the Pens. That wouldn't change if they were awful either.Comment

Re: Randoming vs. Good Team vs. Being A Homer
my home team is the Sharks, but I do like to use all teams. I don't necessarily random a team, but mabey pick a natural rival depending on who my opponent picks, but I'd say about 70% of my games are with the SJ Sharks.Comment

Re: Randoming vs. Good Team vs. Being A Homer
I mostly use the Red Wings, being my home town team, but Tampa Bay isn't bad at all. Top 6 is comparable with any in the league (at least by NHL 11 ratings) and their defense is pretty deep and can hit. Good sleeper team to use if you don't feel like picking a powerhouse.Keanu Reeves: I shall take Balloons for $800, if you please.

Re: Randoming vs. Good Team vs. Being A Homer
Been a Caps fan my whole life, play with them in my season mode and stuff, online, it really depends on who the opponent picks, not to mention I generally don't want to play Caps vs Pens every single day of my life. I haven't gone online with 11 yet though.Comment
