  1. Review: Who's edward? Good looking design. I find that multi render graphics can be a challenge. You did a good job with your graphic in that regard. The text in a lower corner works for me. It seems to balance everything which is a good thing. I think the only thing I would suggest is don't let your top layer crush the detail on the render. Mask out, lower the opacity or anything that would bring some light on his face. Good job overall. 8/10
  2. Call me old fashioned, but knowing the setting for skills would be great to know. Thanks for all you do for the community Beketov.
  3. It doesn't seem to be turned up at all. I wish the league would be more transparent with the sim engine settings. It might give players an idea of what kind of build works best. It's just my opinion though but it sure seems different from how builds worked well before the hybrid era. If you research hard enough, you can find some information about this version and what does work and what doesn't do squat.

    Don't dis the old guy. lol
  6. In old VHL lore. Experience was a very strong and magical attribute to have. The league had to handle it's level very carefully. It is supposed to make your player excel compared to and similar build with low experience. Maybe this is how Simon intended to keep older aging players from totally sucking after regression. Oh well, who believes in lore of an age long gone. Yes, Max is playing and would have 98 experience if it were posted on the event page date.

    New Player

    That really made my day. Thank you for doing that.
  9. I wish it was posted on the date the events page said so my retired player could have claimed it.

  11. Time to make a new player. I have enjoyed the players I have made in the past and I hope my new center, Axle Gunner, will do as well as Merrick. At the time of this article, I am just trying to get things in order then I will focus on the limited TPE I have to make a starter build. I think he will do well after a few updates. Being back in the “M” is going to be fun. I have met several new friends when I have made a new player and join a new team. I hope I pick an active team and Axle can contribute. Max had a good career and will play his 8th season with Riga, unless he is traded. He had a good overall career that includes a cup when he was on the Seattle team. He played with Malmo and had a blast there. Having career highs and I must say it was a fun time there. The beginning of a new adventure is fun and scary at the same time. You just never know if you are making a winner or a busted player. I think that's part of the whole VHL experience. Good, bad or indifferent, I think this new player will be my best.
  12. Review: I really like it when a graphic is more of a composite than a makeover. You did a great job with these elements and it looks great. I like the figure head, city skyline and team logo in this collection of assets. It really sets a mood and I am sure there is a meaning behind this work. I am a fan of this, great job. 9/10
  13. Review: Fun looking design for sure. It definitely is over cooked, but I like the outcome. The render can be seen through the massive overlay work you did. Your color choices work well together and gives it a ton of pop. Formatting is always tricky with this design style but everything looks like it is well placed. The text is a bit hard to read but follows the overall design. Good job. 8/10

  15. The depreciation fighters in the player store are still set to the pre-hybrid ratios. Am I wrong in thinking that they too should reflect the increase in depreciation?
  16. I guess there isn't a player name policy.
  17. How is taking 1/3rd of your TPA 12%? Thing biggest thing that is broken in the league. I will always argue this is the wrong approach.

      I agree with Gustav as I know if I had known that I was going to be hit with four years of depreciation then I wouldn`t have come up early to play a nine season career as I am now being hurt on the front end of the career by being a under-developed rookie in the VHL and like a heavy depreciated player in my final season of my career. Next player I will clearly have to think hard about stay the extra year in the VHLE or the VHLM.

      because otherwise they'd just get to spend their last seasons widening the gap.

      But I disagree with this statement since we are no longer widening the gap but rather being pulled back lower than other players that stayed down a season. Look not further than Vancouver with my player Bouchard and Maple as a great example as Maple now has more TPA than Bouchard simple due to me fight to keep his head above water while Maple has a full season to bank still. This is clearly punishment for skipping and earning faster than others.

       

      Bouchard will now need to decide if it is worth playing his ninth season and being a average player or retire.

      I was told it was to replicate the aging of a player, which I didn't buy for one moment. Gustav makes the point that the high earners should pay more. Why? Because they worked too hard? It's a punishment instead of a reward for doing the work. Apparently, they don't want welfare players to feel bad. Maybe work with the players that are new and encourage them to do tasks, not tell them it's ok to do welfare. It's there for the week you go on vacation, or something that takes you away from the league. It should not be promoted as the norm or it will become the norm. Oh wait...

      Hot take on the welfare but I also agree this has very much become a Welfare league but that being said the leagues salary cap structure is based around having welfare players or depth option players. I remember a few off season ago that GM & AGM were told we were bad by public opinion since we value earners compared to clickers. Both have value but different value!!

       

      It like comparing the guy that comes to work and works to someone that simple shows up to work to collect a pay cheque.

  18. You go MO!!!
  19. London beat Seattle in a intense finals series. Though I would never bet against Seattle in that scenario, it seems London has proven to have been the better team. Congratulations to them for giving us an exciting series. I am sure Seattle won't let that happen too many times in the future. As for Max Torq. He is still in the middle of making the decision to retire on the 12th and recreate or continue to play another two seasons. Riga could of course trade Max and that could be a factor. Max has time to figure out what's best and I am sure whatever is in the future will be fun. To change the topic completely. I love making graphics. I love reviewing graphics as well. I wish more members would take the time and review others work. I am not asking for mine to be reviewed, though I do get a comment from time to time, but I like to review new members graphics. I can remember making my first graphics and all the comments and helpful tips I got that made me push harder and harder. It also makes new members feel more like they are important and others are watching what they have created. It's a good feeling that I hope helps others want to push their skills to the next level. I am by no means a great creator, but I do make graphics that are “different”. I enjoy thinking of different ways to do certain things. I would never have gone down this path if it weren't for the support of our close community. I strive for retention of new members and I think reviewing anything a new member posts is nothing but a positive thing for the league. Everyone stay safe and enjoy the summer.

    Justice.

    Review: Very well done. I wish more content creators would follow this format. It is well balanced and screams quality. I am a huge fan of large head, detailed sigs and this one is perfect. You got rid of the NHL branding and that is great to see, or not see. Your background fills the gaps and looks great. Your font choice is spot on. Great job. 9.5/10
  21. Review: This graphic is indeed intense. With a screaming player and blowout highlights, this has all the hallmarks of intense. I like the format in general though your color palette could be better. I like the background effects and the text is workable with the box it's put in. I would say a color change on the render and get rid of the NHL branding would have made this an epic sig. Great job though. 9/10
  22. 1. I have been busy painting my resin printed dioramas. Punisher is coming along nicely. 2. Yes, Seattle is a hard team to beat in the finals. 3. The best, second best and third best players, in that order. 4. I have no idea what Riga needs to do. 5. I pick the LA Kings. 6. Just because I am not a fan of Colorado state in general, I pick Miami.
