I think Jobo was talking about a draft for selecting the teams, not the players on them. It's easier to just randomize them for everyone. Random team, random players, done deal.

Ah. Randomizing it is easier. I mean, I wouldn't have a problem with setting up a lottery or something for the people to pick, I got time to set that up.

FlyingDonutz you seem to have just an infinite amount of time to fill with NHL, I think a few of us would be jealous. A lottery sort of deal would be interesting, that way at least a few of us would get the team we want. Who wants to get stuck with the Oilers jersey representing their team right?

[FlamesFan86]

I would like to join Xbox 360.. gamertag: SnitZ86

[Fransken]

As a matter of fact, one of my friends would be thrilled to represent the coilers!

I also like the idea of a lottery draft, especially if we divide into two separate PS3 leagues. That would give the last person to draft (provided that we are 20 players in each league) 11 different teams to choose from and c'mon, you can't despise one-third of the league.

Hah. Yeah, especially in the summer, I've almost got too much time on my hands. I just want to make sure I do a better job than Bettman.... even though this job is a lot more limited than his

[3 Justin 3]

I think we're almost at the limit, but two of my friends are definitely in. One of them is on CP (theinfinitejar), the other isn't, but he plays more than half the people on CP.

[Pierre "Monster" McGuire]

I'm still in for the 360, just forgot to read the thread.

So basically we're doing a random pick of teams we'd like with randomly shuffled rosters. I don't mind that at all.

Also, I think I still have some of you on my friends list on Xbox from the CP EASHL team.

[FlyingDonutz]

There really isnt a limit, as long as we make two leagues... Unless we fill up 60 a console.. damn, that would be hard for us to manage. But I'll do it ;p

My xbox 360 name is heyITSMEmitch if any of you want to add me ahead of time. Just message me saying your from CP.

Fantasy drafting is the best part for god sake.

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

What's wrong with Suter and Parise?!

jk

I was thinking about the different release dates earlier today, the game is released on September 11 in the US, and September 13 in Europe.

I'm guessing many here is as stoked as I am and my question is, how do we solve this problem? Because me and my friends still want to join in even if we live in Sweden and I'm guessing the first (couple) of seasons will be finished rather quickly. Maybe if we get enough players we can divide into two different PS3-leagues with one starting on September 11 and one on September 13 and the one starting on September 13 will contain all the players from Europe and all the other ones who are willing to join in. That way it will also be easier to go head-to-head with other players considering the time differences.

The only problem with that is I wouldn't be so sure there would be many people from Europe in the game. I understand the time differences point, though. I think we should just start the league on the 13th, actually, so players can get acclimated to the new functions in the game. I guess that's what the demo's for, though.

I guess we'll have to figure that out, I was planning on setting up the 360 league on the 11th around 4 or 5 EST, but it would be much better to start it a few days later so players can all get the game and whatnot, considering people might not be as hardcore as me and pre-order the collectors edition in May.

[secol]

it also wouldn't be time difference that would be an issue....there might be lag for both sides.

also don't quite remember if this issue was resolved, but are we simming or playing all the games? if we play all the games i think it might be way too similar to HUT, simming however would be interesting and much faster

[Fransken]

As of now we are 35 people who have signed up for PS3 (including my friends) so it seems like, as discussed earlier, that we are close of having two leagues with at least 20 players each and then maybe it isn't such a long shot of having the two leagues starting at different dates.

Everyone who reads this post and is open to the idea of having one, of the supposed leagues, starting on September 13 and are willing to join for whatever reasons like Flying said before, can raise a hand so we can see if this is a possibility.

For the record, my one friend from CP is theinfinitejar who wants in, the other just put JaromeIginla (his xbox GT).

What is the count for people on the 360 league now? 26ish?

Also, rather than randomizing which team we are, why not just pick them ourselves since the teams will be random.

For instance, I'd like to be the Flyers or Avs.

If they want to sign up for the league have them post in this thread, and the official one when we get the process rolling. It's important each person gives appropriate attention and dedication to this, so taking it upon themselves to enroll would show good faith.

If we have people picking teams, many are going to want to pick teams others want. Many would want Flames, then when someone gets that move on to Flyers, or Bruins, Kings, etc. Team logo and uniforms isn't important here so I figure we could simplify and speed up things by just going with the team a random generator selects for us.

[FlyingDonutz]

I think Randomization is the best way to go. I don't want arguing over teams. Though maybe as mentioned before we could do a team selection draft. But it's between those two, I think, as any others could cause issues.

[FlamesKickAss]

a team selection draft would take not even a day. just randomize all the names and then go down the list and let people pick.
