THE SEATTLE BATTLE CATS - HEAR THEM ROAR!
The citizens of Seattle are buzzing with excitement & anticipation as they welcome the new NHL Battle Cats Franchise to their city.
My Personal Introduction:

Hi to all in Operation Sports
I am new to this so apologies if this is not flashy to begin with. For some time now I have been posting monthly updates in the "How's your Franchise Mode going" thread in the NHL Hockey forum of my team, the Seattle Battle Cats.
I began the franchise like I have for many many years playing EA NHL titles, by playing every game for the 82 game season. Of course I went through and won the championship in the inaugural season however when you play every game the challenge is somewhat not so high.
Yearning for a new challenge in the 2nd season, I changed to playing only every 5th game and simming in between (& for finals, I can only play games 3,5,7). This meant the fate of the team was largely put onto how well I constructed and managed the team outside of my own gameplay.
I wouldn't say I am an outstanding player, I play pro with pretty much my own set of sliders I think I am comfortable with. I do tend to win most games, however I do get caught out by the CPU and can even go on horrendous losing streaks from time to time. Most importantly, I enjoy playing the game and to me that is what matters most, otherwise I don't think I could invest the time I have making this dynasty thread.
You will notice the next post after this one is a rolling full history of my dynasty, I just thought it would be an important almanac looking back after many seasons, which I hope to get through.
Following the Season History Post, I start with the condensed reports of the 1st & 2nd seasons together on one post. I have pieced these together going through old game saves to help to tell the story of the Battle Cats. I had only just found Operation Sports during the 2nd season and decided then and there I wanted to share how I went (even if it only appeases my own needs to share lol). The 3rd season is where the updates start coming month to month.
If you have any feedback, tips or tricks for me to improve, please do reply as any help and advice is hugely appreciated.
Hope you can enjoy. Cheers,
Dan.
