I'm in on the 360 please.

I personally think it would be fun to do a bunch of seasons. Bunch of drafts, build up the prospects. I love doing that in the current Be A GM.

the other thing to remember is that starting right when the game comes out is often fruitless. because even though the roster updates are never perfect, the first one that adds in all the new players after the nhl season has started is often worth waiting for. personally, thats why i often get into HUT and/or EASHL at the beginning of the year as its not worth it to start GM mode until october and the rosters are better.

Everything We Know About NHL 13's GM Connected Mode

Bad news. Unfortunately no fantasy draft. There's an option to randomize players on the teams instead.

I own both consoles, but it'll most likely be 360..

Hockey · 06-02-2012, 06:34 PM

I think it's safe to say that no one will take the Canucks, so I will take them.

So no fantasy draft eh? EA can go f*** themselves with a rusty screwdriver. What a piece of s*** decision to not put it in the game.

Fantasy drafting is the best part for god sake.

Now some teams will be stacked and some will get the Wild.

Pierre "Monster" McGuire · 06-02-2012, 11:16 PM

So should we stick with the teams' real rosters or should we randomize?

If we stick with the real rosters, some people could end up with the Blue Jackets or the Wild, which isn't cool.

If we randomize the rosters, some teams could end up with Stamkos, Crosby, Ovechkin, or even... Luongo and Burrows...

I say stick with the real rosters and teams can be on a first-come/first-serve basis. Just my opinion though.

I'll stay with the original team I wanted, the Buffalo Sabres.

i wonder if manual draft order is available and whether or not you can start from the 2012 entry draft....if so it would make it not as bad for crappy teams

Mitch · 06-03-2012, 11:33 AM

I kinda want to do the random team thing. That way you don't know if your going to be a cup contender, or a rebuilding team. When I play on NHL 12 I usually do fantasy draft and randomize it so I get a random team. My opinion. I will stick with the senators though.

Hockey · 06-03-2012, 01:39 PM

I don't mind if we randomize or do current rosters. I think it be cool if one of us got the Jackets or some other crap team and made them into a contender in a few years.

Also if we do current teams I think it would only be fair if we did some sort of draw to pick teams.

Randomize

HellFire · 06-04-2012, 09:47 PM

I would like to join. I am on the xbox360

Iniggywetrust · 06-06-2012, 08:31 PM

I'm down on PS3. Not sure which teams are left but I would like the Canadiens, Jets, Panthers, or Flames ( i'm sure it's taken but I'll throw it out there as my first choice)

king_amonte · 06-08-2012, 10:26 PM

I'm in for PS3

Joborule · 06-09-2012, 10:05 AM

FYI we have 31 interested users in total thus far. 14 for 360, and 17 for PS3.

zukes · 06-09-2012, 12:11 PM

PS3. I will give this a go.

Fransken · 06-12-2012, 09:20 AM

I would be glad to join on PS3 and I vote for multiple seasons with randomized rosters, that way everyone will have a chance to build their team as they want by drafts and trades. And if the Chicago Blackhawks are avalible I would be happy to represent them, otherwise Winnipeg and Colorado would also be great!

Baxter Renegade · 06-13-2012, 05:52 PM

I see this hasn't been updated in a bit, but if there's room on PS3 still, Im in.

EDIT: If you would have checked one post higher, I would have seen the true count... Im in at #20 on PS3!!!

Russic · 06-18-2012, 08:45 AM

I totally lost this thread and couldn't find it somehow. My only concern with randomizing the teams is that if somebody is maybe/kinda/sorta interested gets the BJ's he suddenly isn't motivated to play his games. I've talked with a friend who does this in Madden, and while it's awesome he says leagues with too many people can be a clusterF if there's even a few people who aren't totally in.

If we have about 20 teams in a league, you can pretty much eliminate the worst of the worst teams and be left with mostly the playoff teams. If I was supreme dictator I'd run it the same as the reality tv drafts... everybody gets tossed into a hat and Jobo picks a draft order. Maybe those who recognize themselves as better players don't aim for the crazy stacked teams (but that's totally optional).
