BRHL2 Schedule

Predsgm · Guru

hey i am definately not complaining with the schedule at all.. cause i believe the Nashville Preds has the easiest schedule of them all down the last 8 games..... with 4 points out of the playoff spot.. the team traded away everyone for minors league title.. when in fact they started their 3rd string goalie for 6 games and went 5-1 to climb back into the race and the remanining 8 games none of the team are playoff teams.. in fact 3 of the games are against the bottom 3 teams in the league... there is no doubt in my mind.. we hold our own destiny in our hands.. if we can go 7-1 grab those 14 points. gives up 94 points in total.. and for sure should be a good shot at 7th or 8th place and a remarkable last 5 weeks of the season

stay tuned.

JUST FOR THE RECORD: Can we please use the actual NHL schedule for next year? Even though Bettman and his team of monkeys cant do an adequate job in the NHL, its better than what the program comes up with.

If you knew anything about the sim, you'd know it's impossible to do.

Also, making a schedule is always tough. And there have always been instances like this when you try to fit the schedule in at a set time frame.

I think that we should get from this is that ratings need to be fixed because it's a little ridiculous that Montreal will win the President's trophy. No offense to him but I'm sure his expectations were to barely make the playoffs if at all.

ha. its not the ratings, its the sim. Same reason Mason has simmed well for me, or the way Patrice Bergeron underachieved for you. It happens. I don't really want to get into this, again, the as a whole the ratings are fine. There is usually a few over and underachievers in the league. And in every league I've ever been in.

How come it doesn't happen as much with my ratings?

I know I don't have Alexei Yashin 2nd in scoring (9 pts ahead of the 3rd guy) while playing with his 2 great linemates Modin and Carter.

Exactly. Todd White is top 3 in scoring in another league of mine. Who knows why. IS that realistic? No. But its a sim league. Just because on paper you have the best team doesnt mean the sim will spit it out that way. Nor should it. Otherwise we could just add up all the ratings and determine the winner. There is a guy in one of my other leagues that has had by far the best team for the last 3 years and has only won once.

I'm sure it's frustrating. I would be too. Deal with it. However, with the bergeron instance. That's just bad karma, and i don't even believe in karma..haha

I need to chime in here.

How can anyone say the ratings don't need significant adjusting when basically 16 teams are within about 5-10 points of each other. That's not realistic and it doesn't reflect how good those teams are, it reflects how bad the ratings are.

It's not the sim, it's the ratings. Philippe's ratings work, I have seen the tests, I'm sure he would be happy to post them.

If your only argument is "It's a sim, it's random, it's supposed to be like that, it wouldn't be any fun if the best team won all the time" and that is what I hear from most of the knuckleheads in this league, then why don't you go play in an FHL rerate league?

If that is your argument, you have to ask yourself, what is the point of trading for good players and building a good team if it doesn't really matter, it's just the sim and it's all random. What is the point of building a good team if some guy with half your hockey knowledge who has put in half the effort has his team, clearly worse on paper, 1 or 2 points behind yours.

How can you be fine with it when a team with a shoddy defense, two decent wingers, and a mediocre goalie is going to win the President's Trophy? These ratings are awful. There's no point in even building a good team.

Whoever wins the cup is going to win out of pure randomness, and it's going to be a waste of everyone's time and money.

See that's the problem. You guys just take it thinking nothing can be done and I try to fix it. I made brand new ratings forgettng everything about FHL i.e. that a player has to be 70 OV to play on your pro or that 10 SC pts is a big difference.
I had great results last year except I found something out about FHL which I don't think many people knew so I'm working on fixing them at the moment.

I agree that I dont like the ratings. My point wasnt toward the ratings. IT was towards the fact that strange things do happen in sims even in different rating systems.

If you're all talking about why Montreal has been winning. 1st off he does have a very well rounded team. 2nd he plays the weakest division the majority of the time

We do? Don't put words in our mouths..I was one of the biggest advocates of changing the ratings at the start of the season. But i was ensured that i looked at overall ratings way to much..I (luke) don't like these ratings now. But I can promise you I wont like Phillippe rating my players, or him rating his own either...

Great so you're saying I'm biased.
For the record I use formulas and nothing else and I got better things to do than cheat in a sim league, I don't have to anyways.
I was talking more about Eric saying the ratings are fine and nothing can be done about it.

I'm also not really talking about using my ratings because I use different formulas and it's not fair to change at this point. Just fix the current ones, make them furhter a part so that it's actually worth something having Crosby or Lecavalier on your team and that they're not just other players.

exactly. many of us made trades to get guys for next season

if we knew that top-20 guys would get extra boosts of ratings we would have saved and traded for them

instead, teams like Montreal have been a model for success: two stars and great team chemistry.

however, there's no reason we can't talk now about how to majorly change ratings for a season down the road
