Excellent, thanks lads. 11 games in 14 days. Will have to remember to rotate my squad a fair bit. That'll be something to do in-between periods when I'm watching the Stanley Cup at 4 in the morning at least.

Hey guys - "opivy" team name "Toledo Cherokee"

Challenge me! My team is a bit horrible on offense and defense - building up my revenue streams before I dip into the free agent market too much. Going to try a forchecking play in hopes that I can get some odd man rushes and surprise people.

I've sent you a couple of challenges as well Opivy.

First blood to Getzlaf in our series. One day after a 15-0 win for the Fire over Team Noname 16484 as well, disappointing.

My team is Dreadful - I have the lowest "stats" as far as stars in the league, yet I am in 3rd on the table

I fear I will get promoted and immediatly relegated.

WOo hoo! Beat the guy in 2nd place today 4-3 in OT - good scoring from my 2nd line, I moved a good passer to center who the PC wasnt putting my lineups and he got 2 g 2 a for me. I also took a young kid and put him in as my 3rd line center and put him on the PP. He responded with the OT game winner on a steal in the neutral zone and a breakaway.

Hey, warm welcome to all the new PPM members :) Let's hope you'll have lots of fun on this game!

If someone wants to challenge me, don't hesitate: Shadd666 - Toulouse Hérissons. I'm done with both the French Cup and the Pegasus Cup (a French-speakers friendly tournament we organize every season), so all days are free now, rather than just sundays as it was for most of the season until recently. Just drop a PM at the same time to be sure i give you the priority when accepting challenge. I receive a lot of challenges, sometimes on the same dates, so priority to TBLers ;)

That being said, it looks like we start to have a decent amount of TBLers on PPM... We may think about a little tournament in season 2... :p

Just got my team created and had a quick read over the rules, my team name is 'Satan's Skaters' and my arena name is 'The Scorching Arena'.

From first looks after creating my team it looks very good, I am a bit confused though, how do I find the option to pick my line up? As I can only find the overview of the players :S,

EDIT: Worked out how to do it now, was a bit confusing but I have found it.

I have spent all my money on upgrades. I was rated 13-7-8-10-14 going to my league game today - I won 4-3 in OT and now my offence and defence went up to 11-12 from 7-8 - players did not go up in stats much. I found it odd. Not sure how those stars are calculated.

I started a team for my cousin - he logs in for the first time and his academyn pumps out a 180 15 year old who is a 2 way magician...... I have upgraded my academy three times and I keep pumping out 91 OR duds with high passing.... I can only have so many centermen hehe.

You scored 2 shorties. May have to change my PP line to make it a tad more defensive. :-D

Did anyone bid 500k on a bunch of my players? I have sold over 10 players now, but for some reason someone bid 500k on 3 of my players, and then another person came along and bid 500k an another 4 of them - the players were over 120 and some over 130 OR but none of them were worth anywhere near this money - there was no bidding war just a quick huge bid.

I am working with the GM's to try to find out whom it was and straighten out the issue. "protosnake" and "bigfatparakeets" I did a search on the forum here to see if anyones names matched and I got 0 - this is the only place that I have ever discussed the game so I thought maybe - has anyone else had any strange bids etc?
