So do we get more TPE when we recreate now? Since the value of earning a skill has gone up, regression rates have gone up to compensate for it, it seems if you are going that deep down the rabbit hole you guys changing everything should consider giving us more TPE percent from our previous player. You know, to make it in line with all the changes.

Stay safe everyone

There goes my Power and Torq graphic...

It's a run to the finish. Teams are making their big push to make it into the playoffs. Well not all teams but the ones you always see near or at the top are, near or at the top once again. Moscow seems to be improving compared to the first part of the season. Seattle looks like they are on a streak. Chicago seems to be doing great with superstars paired with bots, what a concept. Malmo is chugging along doing what we do best, win one and lose one. We are secretly building a strong team but want to keep it low key so we can just emerge as a powerhouse without anyone seeing it coming. So far, nobody sees it coming. With the Christmas holiday coming, I bet everyone has been rushing all over, looking for that hot item or special gift for someone. I really like this time of year. Snow on the ground, deer in my yard. Plenty of ice to fall down on. Ya, it's a fun time for sure. I wish everyone a happy holiday season and of course a safe one. Wear your seat belt and stop texting when you are driving. Good luck to all in the playoffs.

Review: You made a good looking sig with this one. I like the render and background a lot. Very well balanced graphic with little to no dead space. I like the blurred effect you used and the focus is clear. Text looks clean and unique. The only thing that looks off to me is the sparkler effect in the background. It's a good final product and that's what matters. Well done. 9/10

Review: Good looking sig that has a lot going on. Main render has a fairly good logo swap that is hard to do sometimes. The faded head render is a nice touch and looks like it blends to the background well. I am not sure about the text, it seems like a lot of elements were jammed together and it makes it hard to find a focal point. Overall I understand the design and it looks like you did a fine job with it. 8/10

Wow, the season is well into the second half. Does time fly or what? It's been an, interesting season to say the least. Some of the big teams aren't so big anymore and some of the “also ran” teams are making their names known. It's good to see a transfer of power though it is really messing with my predictions. I always went with the old saying that the “Cream always raises to the top” but this hasn't been the case this season. Simon has been a cruel bastard at times this season and I am hoping he has a bit of sanity going into the holiday season. Maybe he just needs a hug, or a hooker. Either way, there has been some games that you just have to shake your head and just move on. Every season I am fooled by thinking we are going to have a sim engine that works better or is more friendly at least and every season it's the same thing with the only thing you can count on is a outcome that for the most part is random. Maybe when you figure out some of the things that triggers Simon and avoid doing those things you will get a game sim'd that goes the way you would think. Stay safe everyone and good luck going forward.

Review: I like the overall look of this graphic. Nice color change and branding changes. Something I look for when members use a stock picture and transform it. You did a great job with the text behind the player. The logo swap isn't bad but could use a tad of warping and maybe play with the blend ranges. I like the vignette though it might be on the dark side but that is really subjective. All in all you did a fine job. 9/10

Review: Well, I haven't seen this album cover is a few decades. You did a really good job in bashing this. I like to do the same thing. I see the render head swap and logo on the street and thought you got the point accross. You made a really fun graphic that I bet most won't relate to. On a critical note, the blend ranges could be messed with to get a better effect on the logo and heads. I really enjoyed this graphic. Beats the standard sigs by a country mile. 9/10

So are all skills like that? If you are paired with lines that have more of everything you will score less, hit less, block shots less, get poor gas mileage?

Gandhi would get more hits than Max.

The cream always floats to the top, so they say. I see many different teams in contention at the top of each conference. It is a good thing for the league to not have the same team dominating for several seasons and gives hope to the other teams that they have a chance with the right moves and a shit ton of Simon luck. In my opinion, chemistry trumps skill level and finding a good line that sims well, regardless of what skills they have, is working better than just going off how much scoring or defense a player has. I think it's a double edged sword but it seems to be leaning in that direction from what I have seen across the league. Whatever works and whoever gets the job done is the way to go. Malmo just traded for a couple of players and I think this is going to help us make a push out of the cellar and maybe into a wildcard spot. It's hard to tell but it feels better already. Let's see how it plays out for the next twenty games or so. Good luck to all and have a safe holiday season.

Review: A really fun graphic to look at. You did a great job with the color change and even the logo swap. It looks like you put some work into this graphic even though it's a stock photo it still takes time and talent to change it in the ways you did. I like the whole thing. I am a fan of non sig graphics and this is a great example of a no text project that works just fine. You went down the right rabbit hole, will you continue the journey? Fun stuff. 9/10

Review: Really clean work with this one. Formatting looks good, very well balanced. Render looks detailed and has been cleaned of any branding. Nice logo swap from what I can see of it and the text is simple yet appealing. Maybe a VHL lapel logo would have been nice and although it looks balanced, it is a bit heavy on the left side. Overall and proper sig that looks really good. Great effort. 9/10

You are correct. Keen eye you have. Thanks for the awesome review.

It's been a crazy start to the season from where I am standing. Seems like the teams I figured would be in a better place, even this early in the season. That couldn't be farther from the reality of the standings. I think the big brains that “fixed” the exploit broke something along the way. I see low skilled clickers scoring hat tricks and no defense defensemen staying in the plus. Dogs and cats living together. Yes, the end is near. Thank you Ghost Busters. On a more serious note, Malmo has been a mixed bag of good and less than good. We are a solid .500 team as it stands. We have players working harder than they have in the past and it is rewarding to see that. We have an amazing team that wants to win and players weening off of Welfare. A bit of work and a few extra points to work with goes a long way. I think the team has committed to a “Team First” attitude and it will pay off in big ways the more players we have that can get some tasks done. So let's hope that whatever is stuck up Simon's ass pops out and some realistic sims can be seen. Good luck to all teams and make sure you use up your back up games when you play us. That makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Review: What's not to like about this graphic? Great background, color palette is spot on and the render has a logo. It's like a dream come true. The text and their effects are really simple yet compliment the render isn't of taking over the graphic. The team name is placed well and is a cool touch. Good job. 8/10

Review: Cool looking dude. Nice swagger and that hint of " I know what you did". He looks clean cut and has just enough detail to make him look natural. The background is looking fine and doesn't overpower the render. Text is looking good though I am not a fan of the pink. I think you did a fine job with this graphic. I would have liked to see some VHL branding somewhere. 8/10
