Also remember that there are trophies for both the casual and pro mode divisions, so if you are a trophy hound or achievement completionist winning one of those should be a goal.
It would probably be easier to get a pro mode trophy, while everyone is adapting, then to get a casual, where I suspect we'll find the greatest number of cheesers and rage-quitters.
Monthly seasons, so I suspect that you'll have an aggregate, and a reset for each season, and hopefully, a reseed as well.

honestly though, if we are going to have a group that is concerned with winning and being good, then we might want to look at how we do things. i often wondered last year how much higher our rank would have been had we not started off as a pretty bad team and been a hundred games under .500... we may want to have everyone just test things out on their own or in community games so that we don't end up shooting ourselves in the foot at the beginning.

I agree totally here. That was brutal! Just sayin' ... 
So many blowouts during that time.

Maybe we can all play in Casual team first, then we setup our pro team once we are "warmed up" and ready?
|
Also agreed here, I'd give it one full month before we sign up for the big leagues. We'd come flying out of the gates. And we're all on the same playing field for casual and pro, since everyone would've just got the game.

Well, currently the game is on normal level. Not hardcore passing level.

Good point. I keep on forgetting the EASHL has monthly cups this year.

i know we have been through this, but are there any major difference between normal and default for the gameplay? just seems like most games you have one or the other as they are kind of redundant as far as adjectives go...

Not too sure myself. Passing I thin has greater assist on default then normal.

What is this "defending" you speak of? 
Seriously, I think I am better at that than I was through most of last year.
