BACK 2 BACK!

March 2011, April 2011 Amateur Playoff Champions!

2009-2010 CAG Hockey Team

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgeK5UeVcrY
That's right, folks! It's that time again! Welcome to the official thread for your CheapyD All Stars!

Club History
This will be the team's 3rd season of play, starting with a rollercoaster season in 2008-2009, a rocky start to the 2009-2010 season, but a very strong finish down the stretch that saw the team learn to work together and even eclipse the .500 mark. Looking to continue their progression toward greatness, the 2010-2011 CAG team is sure to be a powerhouse, hopefully having raised some banners by the time the season's over!

How We Play
This is a team for people who wish to compete at a high level and learn the correct way to play their position and hockey in general. Your play will be critiqued, and your contributions to the team will be evaluated. This is not to deride anyone for the way they play, but to improve the team and to give us a better chance of winning games and possibly winning a banner someday.

If you become a detriment to the team, there is a possiblity you could be cut. Not saying this to scare anybody off...but we're looking for smart, skilled, and committed players. If this sounds like something you want to be a part of, please see the information on the CheapyD All Stars below.

When We Play
We have two official Hockey Nights each week. These fall on Tuesday and Friday, and usually start around 8 PM EST and end in the wee hours of the morning. These hockey nights can be filled with ranked games against other EASHL clubs, team practices to improve on basic skills and fundamentals, or even intrasquad games to compete against each other. There are also other random times throughout the week that we play, but Tuesday and Friday are the definite times you can find the team. If you'd like to play, please feel free to join us! If you'd like your information posted on the team roster, please see the "How to Sign Up" section below. See you on the ice!


CheapyD All Stars
***IMPORTANT***
One thing that we strongly recommend is that you do not use the "Be a Pro" or "Action" camera types. While these angles can be exciting for single player modes, they do a poor job of showing you the ice and which teammates may be open (especially players behind you). Since we strive to play strong team hockey and get everyone involved, it makes sense to be able to see the entire zone as you play. The CAG team advises that you use the "Ice", "Classic", or even "Overhead" cameras.

Getting The Most Out of Your Player
The following guide will show you how to best distribute your points and which boosts you should apply based on the cost of raising each attribute. Setting your player up wisely will give you an edge over the competition!

Custom Soundpack
As you may or may not know, NHL 11 allows people to set their own custom playlists for in game events (team intros, goals, penalties, etc.). The great thing about this is you can stream the music from your computer and have the playlists pre-set. All you have to do is assign them to the specific events in game. You can find the pack here, along with full instructions on how to install it.

So, you got off the fence, Alan? haha. It would have been weird had you not gotten NHL this year though. I'm really pumped for the new game. Even if it's not perfect, as long as nothing is fundamentally broken, it should be a lot of fun.

Also, I don't know if this has been posted, but a new developer blog was put up on 8/27 that outlines the new features of the EASHL. I figured I'd just post it in here since it directly relates to the CAG team.

EASHL Improvements for NHL 11


27-August-2010
The EA SPORTS Hockey League has been one of the most popular features in the NHL series since 09. In NHL 11 I feel that we’ve really raised the bar on the mode with a mix of features that the hardcore guys have been asking for, as well as making it more accessible to those who love NHL but haven’t played before.

This year in the EASHL you start off as a Free Agent, and are free to play Drop-In Games to get a feel for the game, as well as start to grow your player. You can edit your Pro right from the mode, as well as see the Free Agent leaderboards. Check out the ‘Around the League’ menu to see who the best clubs are in the EASHL. You can get scouted and invited to a club, start your own club, or go look for a club to request to join.

Once on a club, you can see right away one of the big additions: the divisions; the EASHL is divided up into the Elite, Pro, and Amateur divisions. Right on your Club Hub screen you can always see your current division for the season, and an indicator arrow for where your club currently sits within it. The EASHL regular season is all about driving to earn your place in the best division you can in order to qualify for the other huge addition: the playoffs. Finishing the regular season in a division earns you a spot in the playoffs.

During the playoff window you need to win four games in a row to be crowned the playoff champs. Playoffs add a whole new level of intensity to the league; there is a more jacked-up crowd, on ice art, and pressure. The playoffs are one and done, so if you lose, you will need to come back strong the next season. The time left in the season/playoffs is shown on your hub so you always know how much time is left. Once the playoffs are over, we have a whole host of trophies to hand out based your season performance:
• EASHL Champs (Elite playoff winner, as well as the best record in the regular season)
• EASHL Runner Up
• EASHL 3rd Place
• Regular Season Champs
• Finish in the top 10 of Elite
• Finish in the top 100 of Elite
• Elite Playoff Winner
• Finishing in the Elite Division
• Pro Playoff Winner
• Finishing in the Pro Division
• Winning the Amateur Playoffs
• and more…
The great thing in NHL 11 is that you don’t have to be the #1 club out of hundreds of thousands to be recognized. Now there are trophies for every club to strive for. Another great addition is the ‘League History’ screen that shows the best clubs for each month. In this screen anyone can view all the previous seasons and see who the top clubs are (or were).
Speaking of top clubs, we’ve also added some glory by introducing banner raising and on-ice art to reward the best of the best. Many of the trophies above will also earn your club bragging right for the following season. Anyone playing in your rink will see who they are dealing with. No longer will you just be another random opponent.

For those EASHL fans who have been asking, yes we added two of your most requested features: Club Practice and Jersey Customization. Practice is split up into two modes: you can play a full on scrimmage with 6v6 to simulate a game, or you can have a more skill based practice with no CPU players. For example if you want to practice 2 on 1s with a friend, you can jump into a practice with only a CPU goalie and go on the rush to your heart’s content. Both practice types are a great way to work on your skills and grow your chemistry with your teammates.

Jersey customization is a great addition, meaning now no two teams need to look alike. Similar to our offline creator you have full control over your logo, colors, equipment, etc. to really make your club stand out in the EASHL.

We’ve also made it easier to get together with teammates and get into a game. To start off, on the main hub we show your teammates online, who is in a game, etc. We’ve made a new Dressing Room that finally allows you to organize your teammates before the game, pick your desired positions, and then matchup against another team. There are some other subtle touches, like GMs being able to post messages to everyone’s ticker, no matter what game mode they are in (great for organizing a time to play). We’ve even added the ability to only matchup with another team with your club size or your goalie type (human/CPU). If nobody is online, you can always jump into a Drop-In game to get your EASHL fix.
Finally, gameplay and EASHL guru Jason Rupert has completely redone the progression model. There is now a better curve to progression through the mode, as well as a more balanced cost system. This year your position and player types will mean so much more. If you make a playmaker you will have a much more difficult time purchasing hitting for example. While you can still make the players you want to make, the result will be better differentiation among player types, which will make for more balanced gameplay in the EASHL.

There are a lot of other smaller tweaks to the EASHL (45 new team accomplishments for example), but those will be yours to discover when NHL 11 hits the shelves. I can’t wait to see who will take home the first EASHL Championship!
-Garreth

Some of the highlights
*The Elite, Pro, and Amateur divisions are something you place into...and not something you choose. So, we should be competing with similarly skilled teams basically all the time. Each division also has its own trophies and awards
*Apparently there will be team specific arenas this year. That's not confirmed, but it mentions other teams knowing when they're in "your rink"
*Team Practice mode does allow you to take 6 players (or less) and practice against the AI. This is huge for me because it encourages improving as a team, and not just exploiting each other's weaknesses
*Jersey customization appears to be WAY more in depth than any of us gave it credit for. I'm sure it's still not at the "upload your logo" level...but there are a lot of options

I can't wait for this game!

[moojuice]

Yeah, I remembered I had a $30gc for gamestop, figured I might as well. Hell, the Avs have to be rated at least a little better this year.

As for team specific areas letting others know who's ice is who's, I'd imagine it's probably just crowd noise.

And I figure this might be beneficial since it's hard to explain this and play at the same time:

Any interest in a small single player per team league maybe aim for 10-12 players and each team would play each other 2-3 times?

[n8rockerasu]

Those videos are great, Alan! Although, I would have enjoyed them more if you made them yourself, haha. Like "Coach Alan's Corner", with your little hockey rink marker board. That would be epic! Definitely stuff people should make note of. I don't have a lot of technical hockey knowledge, and most of my defensive strategies are rooted in basketball (though zones work essentially the same way), but these types of things will definitely give me a better understanding of where I need to be on any given play. That kind of stuff has me really looking forward to team practice mode.

I'd be all for that. The sooner, the better, though... I will have less time to play once the regular season starts. Not that I won't still be playing then, but I'll be going to all the Ontario Reign home games starting October 23rd, and I've been averaging about 7 Kings home games each of the past 2 seasons.

I've got to PM CravinTacoBell, Captain_Obviou5, KasterDB, and mr_hockey. We need those guys back (amongst others).

Those were basically all the relevent videos that had anything to do with the CAG team. I found it amusing that 3 separate people have your shot off Alan's ass uploaded though, haha.

haha, see In my head, I'm convinced that you exchange sexual favors to get tickets to all these events. I mean, how else could one person do so much? lol

[Matt Young]

I didn't expect the picture, but I figured you'd say something, LOL. I'm actually home a lot of nights. I explained my increased social activity over the past couple months in the MLB league thread.

I've actually been treated for social anxiety and used to take medication for it... it's just that I'm comfortable around certain people/groups of friends- acting as I do with you guys. I'm much more quiet around a majority of people, and at hockey games and wrestling shows, I'm just an anonymous face in a crowd of 6,000-ish (Reign), 18,118 (Kings), or between 20,000-72,000 for wrestling shows.

I'm able to do this stuff because I don't have many expenses, I live 60 miles from LA where all kinds of events take place, and I have some connections with the right people. As far as the Reign games go, a friend of mine has been a season ticket holder since the team formed (2008) and he purchased 2 seats. I go for free to those games. I could not even afford my own season tickets at the moment, if I had to pay for them.

EDIT: Turns out the draft is at 8 P.M. Pacific. I thought it was set for 8 P.M. Central- Devin's time zone. I guess that means I won't be able to get on NHL right after the Packers game after all.

I know, homie. You don't have to explain yourself to me. I'm just razzin ya (see Magic, you're not the only one who gets it, hahaha). I'm kinda the opposite (or maybe the same, depending on how you look at it). I think most people are fucktards and can't stand being around them, which is why I don't go out. Even friends I've had for awhile tend to be flakey and have their own lives to live, so with Xbox Live, it's nice to be able to be "social" from the comforts of my own home. At the end of the day, whatever makes your dick hard! lol

I'm the same way. I have a small group of friends that I hang out with regularly here in California. Most of my good friends are in Illinois. Too many people- friends or otherwise- have screwed me over or let me down, so that coupled with the anxiety means I stay home a lot (and my other medical problems exacerbated that).

I'm totally bipolar about social activity. Sometimes, I won't be home for several days. Other times, I won't leave my property (I do go outside, at least!) for days at a time.

As for what makes my dick hard- the lesbo stuff between Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning in The Runaways.

Awesome that we've got 7 people signed up already! I just hope we get a lot who show up regularly. Hopefully having a second hockey night during the week will make a difference for people who weren't available on Fridays.

Weird glitcvhes, but look how much open ice we had

I totally Facebook "liked" that video.

Great times tonight, even with several soul crushing 1 goal losses.

hey hey hey... can't wait.

Destrovega, don't know my new skater name yet. Left Wing and I can try to play more center if needed. I thought I did alright last week.

I'll be there the first Tuesday and have to miss the next Friday. I am getting married in 4 weeks, it will be a bit bumpy until Oct. 22nd.

very excited to play hockey

All right, #28 holds too many bad memories, so does #2, time to combine them to be at my worst! But seriously, I don't know when I'll be starting, I could end up getting the game any time this month, so I'll let you guys know when I do.

You just tell her that Friday Night is hockey night, and if she doesn't like that well, you can get penalties that last for five minutes for fighting. I think you get my drift.

I can't find my old pic of the Miss USA and Penalty Box with Tissues picture dang it.

I'm in, same info as last year. I will have a few days to play this before I go back to work once I get back from PAX.

Cause it hasn't or did not cross the red goal bars.

[Magicking610]

Eh, it looked like it crossed, the guys on the other team said it crossed. Whatever, everyone gets shots like that, don't they?

anyways, if we are playing tonight, I can only hope that Nate, Alan, and Darktower decide to change their names back.

And we can only hope that Michael Richards doesn't decide to show up again. Not sure if you realize this, but a lot of people were seriously offended by that outburst. It's one thing to talk shit or call somebody a jackass, but that kinda crossed a line. Just something to think about.

For Gary...and possibly Destro, I guess, lol
