Well, NHL and NBA are adding a lot of new features for 2k9 that will directly improve the league apps and until those features are made public, i can't show anything since they are so closey tied together.
how about on the website you can view players who are in lobby or what there online status is from the league site?
Well the problem with that is Sony doesn't give us that info, so it would probably only be a xbox feature.
I think Kidd kind of mentioned this, but I'd love to see us be able to fantasy draft our online league. Maybe have a separate roster file for online leagues with only the data for that league, and then people can select the teams that they want.
Here is another thing. Under user profile, how about keeping more stats for lobby games, and a history of leagues and lobby games. This way you can look back on your previous stats.
i cant remember if this was posted but how about an option that would allow when roster updates come out.. they would be implemented into the league as well online.. or even an abilty to input real time trades from nhl.com website or something.
Honestly guys, I got some many awesome things into the online leagues this year that I'm dying myself to use them in a giant league. I honestly think this whole application will be the greatest web application in the video game industry period.
For your sake, I hope the gameplay is there. I'd hate to see you work so hard on this stuff on the web side of things for the game to stink and still have the same NHL 2K issues we've seen year after year. Can't wait to see what you've been working on!
Well my greatest fear too, But i have played it and its classic tight 2k hockey game play that has graduated to a more mature feel. The guys at VC really did a nice job bumping up the presentation and all that jazz (although i dont pay attention to that lol). I'm going to see what i can do to tweak it so the leafs are ranked #1
here is a hardcore stat PROD = Production. This is minutes played divided by Points. So if a player has 11:00 of ice time, and 2 points, his PROD will be 5:30. The lower the PROD, the better you rank. It is a great stat for those 3rd and 4th line guys.
all i will add is that i would love to have a online dynasty with all 30 teams involved with rookie draft, and free agents, ticket prices.. everything a gm would do, with multiple seasons
