Both of you wouldn't survive out here in the west! Islanders gm was Anaheim gm in previous year and didn't make playoffs and now with islanders he's first! Shows how weak the east is...
That just isn't true. I'm in 1st, that is true. I also beat Dallas and Colorado, two of the best teams in the West. I'm doing better than last year strictly because I worked at it and got better at the game.
Fun fact:
2-0 vs West (1.000 winning percentage)
5-1 vs East ( .833 winning percentage)

1.) Live Draft
2.) Spectator mode
3.) Practice mode
4.) trade rumors like in NHL 11 or 12 (i.e. if a team sends a trade offer to another team about a player, it might say that team X is shopping a top 3 winger or something like that)

Usually in the western playoff race is much tighter, and it usually takes more wins and points to earn a playoff spot in the west, therefor making it a tougher conference to win.

Our game shouldn't have counted in this stat... it was my first game in over a week and I wasn't even warmed up!
Oh man, the All Star Break is a) going to actually exist in our league and b) be a lot of fun!
Here's what i'm thinking...
-Top 6 teams from each Conference make it. Right now that would be...
West:
Vancouver, Chicago, Detroit, Minnesota, St. Louis, San Jose
East:
Islanders, Islanders, Islanders....kidding
Islanders, Washington, Sabres, Jets, Devils, and Bolts
-We'll do an OTP game (has to be ranked or else we cant use our BAPs) in a specific Lobby (Bluth ASG or something)
-Decide who is going to play what position on each team
-From your position, you choose the best guy on your GM Connected Team and model your BAP after him i.e. Change his name, jersey number, appearance, height, weight, and play by play name to reflect the real player.
Example: In the West the Lineup could look like...
Mursak-Sedin-Couture
Keith-Pietrangelo
Niemi
This way, it looks like an actual All-Star game that we actually get to play.
-As far as the shootout goes we can just do essentially a playoff, using the actual seeds at the given time but using the top 8 teams.
Example:
1) Vancouver vs 8) Carolina
1) Islanders vs 8) Edmonton
2) Chicago vs 7) Ottawa
2) Washington vs 7) Colorado
3) San Jose vs 6) Tampa
3) Buffalo vs 6) St. Louis
4) Detroit vs 5) New Jersey
4) Winnipeg vs 5) Minnesota
...and then since its a shootout, it should go by really fast and still be pretty fun. Just use your GM Connected Teams and go into online shootout.
I dunno guys, should be a pretty cool All Star Break for the league.

I think it should be the players.. those who have the top 6 in points in each conference at each position..

This sounds like a lot of fun. this works in a perfect world but odds are that not all 12 ppl will be available at the same time. I'm thinking if someone can't make it then the 7 seed gets in, etc.
Then i have to do all sorts of vote counting and nonsense. I think top 6 teams is better
you could just make a thread with a Poll in it for each division.. does the counting for you.
Each GM in the top 8 of each conference nominates one player from their team.
That player gets added to the poll
Everyone votes. GMs cannot vote for their own player.
Top 5 players get into the allstar game..
The top GAA goalie in each conference gets into the allstar game.
Nahhh don't like the idea of changing your guy...
Should just be top 6 teams get in all start game.
#1 seed gets to choose their position first and so on... Simple.
No voting. The voting might get skewed like in real life lol.
I told you guys that I would be around this evening but something came up, and by something came up I totally mean I am going to play poker and get drunk.
So,if you are the GM of Winnipeg, Philly or Phoenix and you see this go ahead and play my cpu. Sorry I won't be on boys, especially Jets and Yotes who I was talking to yesterday.
GM here.
