I've kind of lost interest in the EASHL. We really don't have a chance at making a run up to the top of div.1 as we can't play as many games as those top teams, so IMO there really isn't a point to having the pro team. It would be cool if next year they added something like a season mode to the EASHL where you could get a number of teams together and form a league. To me that would be a lot more fun as everyone would play the same number of games and stats would actually mean something (assuming you could track stats from league games only), and there would actually be a goal to keep you interested (the league title). You would also be playing the same teams multiple times which could be a lot of fun like some of our scrimmages where you know the strengths and weaknesses of certain players and try to shut them down.

Actually now that I think of it I'm kind of surprised someone hasn't tried starting something like this themselves. I think it would be a lot more fun than the current setup.

Dudes I just got a PS3 for my birthday from my wife this weekend. I can't wait to buy this game and get in on some NHL action.

Should I buy a headset? Do you need it to play effectively or is it just for chit chat?

I've stopped playing EASHL/OTP too and don't have any desire to start playing again any time soon.

i think we might as well keep the pro team open. we did put together a nice record when we played. since all the gms had the abilityto go between teams, i assume anyone that still wants to play can join the casual team again. i might get back into it, but for now i have got hooked on GM mode.

I'm on a break right now as well. Waiting for the developers to tweak the game to make wrist shots more effective since it's killing the game for me.

What would everyone think of doing a mini 2vs2 EASHL league? Basically if we had enough people interested we could split up into 2 man teams (1 Defenseman and 1 forward) and then play every team in our mini league once or twice. You could update the original post in the league thread with standings and stats (winning team PMs me the score and player stats).

Personally I really enjoyed our comm games because I knew the tendencies of most players, so I think a mini league could be a lot of fun.Also there would actually be something to work for (the playoffs and league title) rather than the regular EASHL where there is no chance to win the league unless you play thousands of games per week.

If everyone thinks it's a stupid idea I won't bother, but if a number of people were interested I would have no problem organizing it.

Like I said in the original post it would be 1 forward and 1 defenseman (because no one likes playing all CPU forwards), and I was thinking it would just be random. After we see how many people are interested and what positions they would play I could just do something like this to decide the teams http://www.random.org/lists/
