Review: 8/10 While I am not a fan of this edge effect, you made it look really good. Your choice of fonts are very appealing and the back glow is just enough to seperate the text from the render, well done. Not much to say about the background, it serves it's purpose and works well with everything else. My only real criticism would be that you lost a lot of detail in the players face, which is also subjective as this may be the look you were going for. I think a bit of contrast in the render would do it justice. Overall, very nice job. Keep it up, you are getting really good.

Actually I fucked up, or my memory fucked up. I meant to say Puff the magic dragon. Drug reference implied...

33. If you could pick a dragon, what would you name it and would you use it to takeover the VHL? I would call him Pete. He would spread love and joy throughout the entire league. 34. Are you in any other sim leagues? Yes 35. What are some things you like about the VHL that keep you coming back? Kills time, fun things to do and great people, why not keep coming back? 37. What team do you feel you have a rivalry with? Explain the rivalry. Do you have others?? Every team in the league is a rival. It's a kill or be killed league, we would rather kill. 38. Whats a way you think the league would have good success with in terms of recruiting new members? Where should they look etc? Delete, format and start over with a fresh new league. 39. @Devise is on our team. He's also a simmer. What do you plan to bribe him with so we win another cup? Doesn't look like it is working.

With a third of the season under our belt, all the teams seem to have settled down and are working on small details to improve each game. Also with most team, except the bottom two, are playing .500 hockey and better, there is a lot of competition to stay in the mix. A couple of bad sims could find your team a few spots lower in the standings. An interesting stat that stands out a bit to me, being on Seattle Bears team, we went from having a fairly solid defensive last season to one of the porous. Seattle flipped around and has one of the top offenses in the league. We did lose a lot of talent from last season and it is showing in some ways that you wouldn't except. My player, LeGrande, switched from defense to offense during the off season. I would have to say it did hurt the back end a bit but he is doing fine as a forward. Not great, but holding his own. I look for the season to continue with close games and head shakers. Good stuff. Word count 182.

Review: 8/10 While the render is a bit rough, I love the design of this sig. Good depth and pleasing text. I like the font and simple effects that you used. I am not a fan of most edge effects but this doesn't look bad. About the only thing I would have done different is offset the player render to the right more and move the text to the left side to balance out the overall look. You are doing a great job and look forward to the next one. Keep it up.

Review: 6/10 It seems you have the tools at hand to add layers and effects. This graphic doesn't look bad for someone starting out. You have a good mix of colors and effects that make it interesting. I think what you need to work on is cutting out a render, then making a background or using one with a bit a blur to add some depth. Also you formatting is off. When the player is in the middle of a graphic, it makes it harder to balance the "look" of the project. I think you have the skills and are headed in the right direction. Good effort and keep it up.

From what I have read, Simon T is based off of the NHL and is intended for use in that format of 9 forwards and 6 dmen. Just using the same players to fill in the lines does not play well with this sim engine. Even though 1.1 is old as fuck, it might actually work better with a full roster and give the teams cap to have said players. I think that should have been addressed before we had an expansion. I am just spit balling here so take it for what it's worth.

Triggered. Drama is a forums Covid. It just spreads like the legs of a truck stop hooker.

Review: 6/10 Very appealing sig. I like the design concept and I think it all works well with this design. On a subjective level, I would like to see more render detail and contrast. Your text would look better if it were on the sig and not off the boarder. That said, it really does work and it is how you made it. Nothing wrong with this project that practice won't cure. Great effort. Keep bringing them.

Review: 6/10 You have the right idea with this graphic. You have a great render and also I would say you placed the logo very nicely. I would just keep working on your skills and learn what you can by asking others or watching tutorials. I think I would start with your formatting. Player, text and any other element in a project should be placed in a way that makes sense. I would work on your font, there are a ton out there that will really make your work great. I like the overall design and just stick with it. You have a bright future making graphics for everyone to see. Great effort.

First off, I hope everyone is well and dealing with this world issue with some success. I for one, have to stay home with my wife as we are both at risk. On to our hockey world. With the season underway, it is glaring me in the face that if this league takes up just a little bit of time, it is well worth it. Being stuck in a house with nothing but a jar of pickles and no Top Ramen, a guy has to have someplace to go. The virtual world of sim hockey, the savior. While it isn't the most ideal way to kill time, it can be whatever you make of it. Another bright side, I found a closet filled with toilet paper. I hope the neighbor doesn't realize I took half of what they were hording. Well the team is going strong, the players seem to be in great spirits. What could a guy ask for that we already have here in the VHL. Not a lot. Just remember. When you go out into any public areas, always wear a condom. I have my own theories on protection against diseases. Stay classy VHL.

9. Who do you think will win this seasons continental cup? The team that beats all the other teams? 10. The lost hurt to Calgary. We should of kicked their ass. But we didn't. How did you handle the loss? We lost? WTF, why am I the last to know? 11. What are your players goals this season? Yes, goals is goals. 12. Where do you think the Bears will place this season? Good chance we finish in the top 10. 13. If you're in the VHLM, how do you think your team will do this season? I'm not but I think we will do great. 14. If you're in the VHLM, who do you think the best player will be? Best player or most popular? I am confused.

Review: 6/10 Reviewing is very subjective and everyone has his/her own style. I am not a fan of low detail player renders. I would love to see this with some attention placed on the player. Color choice is another thing that seems like some adjustments are needed. I like the whole concept of your project, just not crazy about the overall look. I think it could be better with a different approach. All that being said, the work you have done looks quality. Good render and your text looks very nice. Keep up the great work, this is only my opinion and I know you have a high skill level.

Review: 7/10 First off, this is an amazing design. I am a huge fan of out of the "norm" graphics. Your mural look is very appealing. Great textures that really adds value to this design. Color choice is spot on and I like how you made them all work together. Background is just great to look at. I think all elements are placed in a natural looking order. At first I wasn't a huge fan of the boarder, I think it could be a bit thinner but I see, after looking at it, it is working as intended. Great concept. I really enjoyed reviewing your project. Note: Scoring is very subjective and I haven't seen a 10/10 on the site to be honest.

This is the most boring time of the year for me. Off season has never been my favorite time because I enjoy playing games rather than going through all the off season draft and all the stuff that happens during this time. A few changes in the league made a splash on the forum. I like the reviewing change as I hope it is easy enough for more members to actually review others work. Nothing but good should come of this change. I think we will see more critical reviews now as a closer look is needed to give a relevant review. Now for the donation change, I guess everyone likes it so it must be something that puts the players on a more even playing field. I am not against everyone having the same chance at earning tpe. I see flaws in the logic, but I am just here doing what I can as a member to better my player. Let's hope everyone stays healthy and we can all make it through this pandemic. Wash your hands and don't hug a anyone that is buying up all the toilet paper. Word count: 191

1. What are your thoughts on the Bears having 3 1st round picks in the upcoming VHL draft? 2nd, 5th and 7th overall! It's better than zero. I am sure we will get the best players out there. 2. What are your thoughts on the Bears having 8 picks in total in the first 2 rounds of this draft? Good work by the GM. 3. Who do you want the Bears to pick at the draft? Somebody that is active 4. Thoughts on the Bears next season? Should be interesting. 5. Thoughts on the Bears future? The team looks strong. I think we will be a playoff team for several seasons. 6. What are you expectations for your player next season? I hope to contribute more consistently now that I made the change to forward.

I am a big fan of the new reviewing system. I thank you for your review and input on my graphic. While I understand the rule of thirds, I have found, in my close up style renders, that the diagonal method applies to this style better than the "Golden rule" or rule of thirds. It's all good stuff and basics that should be known. I agree with your assessment about the text, I do struggle in that area. Thank you again.
