CP's NHL 13 Connected GM Interest Thread

[Mitch]

I'm interested. 360

[La Flames Fan]

Darn right I'm in...XBOX360

[ComixZone]

I'm definitely in. (PS3, I don't think I'll get both 360/PS3 versions this year, I'll just focus on PS3)

[3 Justin 3]

I assume both leagues (PS3 and 360) will be doing Fantasy Draft. That is what I want anyway for the 360 league, Fantasy Draft's are not only more fun, but more fair as well.

Since we need teams as well I'll go Avalanche.

[miraisoup]

I would be down for the 360 version for sure.

I'll play or just manage it doesn't matter to me.

Is it possible to fantasy draft instead of start with a team's current roster?

I'm assuming since this is a Flames site, everyone will be wanting to be the Flames, so I was wondering if we shouldn't do a fantasy draft so we can all pick the Flames players (and other players from around the league) that we like?

Just a thought.

Agreed, this will make things a lot more interesting and will allow us to really flex our GM muscle right from the start.

[DownhillGoat]

Intriguing. I suck at the GM portion of BeAGM, but I'd be interested. PS3.

[3 Justin 3]

Fantasy Draft all the way. It's much fairer, though it is incredibly hard to do because we need to fit it in with everyone's free time.

[dissentowner]

I am in for Xbox 360.

Damn, didn't think of this. Sounds like it would have to be a weekend, but then some people might work on weekends.

Crap. That'll be a tough one to figure out.

[miraisoup]

Could always do 25 game seasons or something too. Might make it easier on everyone involved.

The game isn't out for months, so we technically have until then to get our fantasy draft completed. When the game comes out, we simply create our teams with the players we chose.

In 12 they have an option to do a Fantasy Draft when you start a GM mode so I wonder if they will put that Fantasy Draft online so we would be able to do it right from the game. That would be excellent.

true, but we'd have to draft without knowing the ratings of players which can make it hard to build the kind of team you want

[Joborule]

I figure the best way to go about this is to do the fantasy draft once the game comes out. Besides people show interest now, but when it comes to time to get things in motion, some people may not be available anymore and we may have some new faces pop up.

In regards to picking teams. We'll probably have a team draft lottery around the time the game release.

Sounds good to me. Dibs not the Canucks or Oilers. Can we rig it so the Canucks and Oilers get 29th and 30th picks?

If we're doing a fantasy draft, I just want a team with cool looking jerseys.

[Mitch]

Yeah I don't think we can pick the players before the game comes out, there'll probably be a load of players with different ratings and potential. Sven for example. He'll probably be rated up from a 69 most likely, as well as his potential rating.

[3 Justin 3]

I have a couple points. First, as the game hasn't been released yet none of us know how the fantasy draft will work, whether we can choose the draft order ourselves (I know the game can randomize it, I'm betting we can't choose it how we want it).

Also, for a fantasy draft I think on a Sunday would be best as I know people either work (like myself) or go out (most people) on Saturdays.

As well, I'd rather pick teams than leave it to a lottery, we'll be fantasy drafting anyway so it isn't like the team we're picking will be that relevant. Unless like 5 people want to be the Flames (in that case have a lottery), but I'll let someone else be them. I'll be the Kings, Av's, or Flyers.

If we do want to do a fantasy draft before the game comes out (we won't know their ratings, we'll have to guess essentially), I think that would be easier than doing it when the game comes out as we could do it over a week rather than like 30 people getting together at the same time to do it online. Though, like I mentioned I don't think in the game we'll be able to make our own draft order so either people will have to be honest with their picks or we're screwed.

Lastly, I have a friend who isn't on the forums, but will join the league.

[FlamesKickAss]

what about doing a fantasy draft that is simulated in the game? Seems fair and would save a lot of time

randomize the draft order and then auto select, assuming they have this option
