NHL 11

[Ruki]

Fuck I have good luck......24 hours I have had: two +5 All goalie cards (Close to 30k for both of them), Mike Richards, Jason Spezza, Joe Thorton (bought for 4500), and Eric Staal (my future #1 center)

[Ruki]

Future lines so far:

E. Kane (91 overall, paid 6200)- E. Staal- D. Byfyglien (89 overall, paid 3250)

D. Boogaard (85 overall, paid 800)- J. Sheppard (81 with a max of 89...paid 1900)- C. Clutterbuck (83 overall...and thus completes my Minnesota line!)

Now the hard part is gonna get this under the salary cap.

[Ruki]

And in one night, mine and Rocksta's teams are basically complete.

I have cap issue, and I could upgrade my D-Men....and get some younger guys with lower cap hits.....But I have a good team! 4 stars, I think.

The only time I buy cards is when I have to meet certain requirements for a tournament and can't do so with what I have in my collection.

My top line right now is Holmstrom, Jason Williams and Patrick Eaves... my second line is Jason Chimera, David Steckel and Scott Walker.

The requirement was team chemistry at 75 at least, so I had to go out and make a few purchases to get that up.

Man I've been trying to pawn off Dan Boyle and Mikka Kiprusoff for enough pucks to grab a Jumbo Pack during those HUT store deals this night. At least I hope thats what the deals are.

Except nobody would buy them for enough to equal 5,500.

[Ruki]

The special jumbo packs are 15000 and just give you twice the rares, I think,

[Meacon Keaton]

So, am I the only one playing Be a GM mode while everyone else Ultimate Teams it? I reckon I should give that a try soon.

[Ruki]

HUT is so addictive....and I don't know why.

[rocksta]

Are those packs up all night or have they sold out ?

[Ruki]

They sold out around this time last week.

[rocksta]

Ah they're every week then? I haven't been on in like a day. Too busy civing.

[Clawson]

That's the deal? Fuck that, that seems like a massive ripoff.

Bought the Barrie Colts dark jersey to go with the Halifax Moosehead white jersey. Repping my hometown and one of my favourite beers.

There are too many issues with Be-a-GM right now that will most likely be patched before Halloween... not to mention roster updates (EA or self-updates as I do), as well as players to create for people who self-update... plus, HUT has been a lot of fun so far. Having to switch around my roster to meet requirements for the tournaments has forced me to part with some good players for extra EA Pucks so that I can purchase specific needs before entering a tournament.

I have been, however, running a Leafs GM game where I'm simming most of the games. Just so I can get a feel for the changes to the mode and figure out how I'm going to have to approach it when I do start my legit Be-a-GM game.

[Toe]

I've been playing both. I had to restart my HUT since I switched to the 360. My reward pack gave me Steve Sullivan, and I have a full forward line from the Adirondack Phantoms, so I am pretty good to start out.

[Clawson]

I'm so close to a Jumbo Pack but the servers crapped out on 4 of my 6 attempts to play today. So I used spare change from Suikoden to buy a Consumable Pack to let me get some players under contract while I get those last 1,051 pucks! Naturally, first game after that and the servers shit. So yeah I have 4 guys with 1 game left on their contract.

Hopefully the training cards I'm trying to sell, sell well.

I got the white Colts jerseys since I hated having Edmonton as my away jersey.

[Meacon Keaton]

I started HUT last night. Played a game or two. Doesn't seem to do anything for me. I'll give it a couple more go's to see if it hooks me, before I give up on it, though. I wouldn't say no to an offer to join Team EWB, either. That is, if you'll have me.

I have both jerseys and currently have a bid in for their logo. Mainly so I can get that Silver Trophy.

Our EASHL team has been on a fucking TEAR this week, won 9 out of 10 games. Although this meant we got bumped up from the Pro division and into the bottom of the Elite league, which seemingly means no playoff shot.
