That's weird... were you hogging the puck? Constantly calling for a line change? The game does work in weird ways.

I mean, in Manchester... I had my worst game ever. 0 G, 0 A, -5. Then after the game, I got promoted from the 2nd defensive line to the 1st line. That was quite funny.

I think it factors your report card in when decisions are made. I assumed I got demoted from 1st to 2nd line center only because of my stats grade. It said I didn't have 1st line production and that I couldn't rely on positioning alone to stay there. The stats category on my report card was my only bad 'grade'. Positioning and team play were both A's.

I led the AHL in scoring as a defenseman (after 12 games and 22 points) and I just got promoted to LA!

Dude, I have like 16 assists! I'd have more goals if I could master the joystick aiming, I suck!

Congrats :)

I... got traded to Montreal tonight :(

Played 13 games for Manchester - 4 G, 13 A, 17 P, +/- 0, 47 PIM
Played 9 games for Los Angeles - 4 G, 15 A, 19 P, +/- 15, 9 PIM

1st game played for Montreal. I got 2 G, 2 A, +3, 2 PIM destroying Detroit 9-3.

After my last game with L.A., the screen says "The GM has great news for you". That news said I got promoted from the 2nd defensive line to the 1st line. But the news after that was the trade news.

I looked at the Transaction News to see who I got traded for, and it made no sense. The Kings traded me to Montreal for Alex Henry, another Defenseman. He is a 78 rating like me. But he has 1 Assist in 17 Games with a -2 rating.

So yeah, I'm bummed to have gotten traded. Now I know how Lubo feels. lol

Has anyone in this game gone PAST 12/13 games in the AHL and NOT been called up? Come on . . . someone here must suck hard at this game.

Something tells me that much of this grading and performance stuff is all hogwash. It seems pretty scripted to me.

I just played online with my EASHL team. We were down 3-1 with a minute left in the third and I scored 2 goals to tie it up and then won it on a breakaway in overtime. damn that was cool

Try as a goalie. Way easier to suck. I just got told that I'll be playing fewer games.
