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.

If I were struggling to feed my family, I would most likely not have internet service but I don't know, could be a government hand out. Let's play hockey and not try to make everyone a victim that doesn't donate. I get it, not only will it save me money, it will now save me the time I spend here.

You are correct.

Go mow a lawn of something. Like 20 bucks is that hard to come by. FFS, make a point or don't comment.

Yes, I am the only one opposed to this apparently. How many players actually max each week? How many play a whole career? Out of all the new members, how many will stay to the end? Pay to win? That would mean my player is Elite now, oh wait, the sim doesn't look at everyone the same so wtf are you talking about. High tpa and success as a player are two different things. Pay to win what? I am no better as a player now than I was 3 seasons ago. There is no pay to win here because max skills only work for a few. Pedal that bs to some kid that doesn't know any better, it doesn't work with me. I am done with this topic as it is taking time out of my day.

Yes, that 6 extra tpe is killer. Can't afford or not willing to buy? Still a bad change no matter how you spin it.

I'm a capitalist. I don't understand that my ability to buy perks for real money should be limited to others that don't feel like they want to invest in their players. Protecting people that don't donate? Really? I don't think this is worth my time. This sim is clearly going in the wrong direction. Take take take and improve what? Nothing. This sim is just getting worse. Fix the cap issue or something that is fundamentally flawed.

And why is inflation a horrible thing when it is really just a small percent that are actual TPE whores? Seems like the same people that pushed this shit through are the ones that pull their players up on Discord to showcase their awesome players. And yes, the sim engine is shit. It takes a few minutes on Simon T's website to see how little of the settings actually work here. I have heard for 3 seasons that somebody was testing the a newer version, but that never goes anywhere. I guess losing a player isn't a big deal and protecting the poor is noble. Have a great rest of your day.

TPE whores? I translate that into players that work hard and earn tpe. Why would you stifle players that actually earn tpe for the sake of those that aren't willing. I don't get it apparently but I couldn't care less about the trivia 5 or 6 end of season tpe. But to get rid of a fucking donation? Really? Does that really hurt the league or you protecting the ones that don't spend the money. I find this a complete joke. Afraid of what, a handful of tpe over a full career? I don't like several things about this league now. You change shit that really isn't an issue but we run on a fucked up sim engine that doesn't know it's ass from a door knob. Good going BoG.

Take more away? Why? You still have to be active to get everything you changed. Inflation that bad of a thing? Why? I see this as a step backwards. Most of the new members seem to go away rather fast, this will not be good for retention in my opinion. I must be missing the "Big" picture.

We all learn together. I like to follow your work as I love the player and you try to do good work like I try to learn things. Good stuff.

21. Tell us about your day. A wonderful morning out making the rounds in search for toilet paper. 22. Who is your favourite player in the VHL - not including yourself, hehe. I really like Rayz Funk. Very good team mate. 23. Which player would you consider your players rival? I have no rivals. If I find one I will let you know. 24. Do you feel like you have a rivalry with a team, or a GM you hate losing to etc? I hate losing to Calgary. Not sure why as they seem like a jolly bunch. 25. What kind of equipment does your player use? (gloves, stick, pads etc) Gloves, the real warm ones with the fur lining. Stick, any of the ones that are long and stiff. Pads, easy, Depends. 26. Does your player have any weird superstitions? Yes, I always have a few Asian girls pee on me before each game. Oh wait, is that a fetish or a superstition?

Well the time has come to a point where I could no longer stay in the shadows and pretend I was normal. It is hard to admit when you path is not what you feel deep down inside. I made a brave move and paid $3,000,000 to have the change over. I am now living a life that I truly felt was my real purpose, a forward instead of a defenseman. I know the change is not going to be easy, but it is what I felt needed to be done. Oh what a mental relief it has been. I was a forward trapped in a defenseman's body for too long. Now I need to adapt to my new role. What do I wear? Do I act the same around my team mates? Will they point and laugh? I hope it isn't as stressful as some others have told me it would be. So going forward, I will be holding my stick high and firm. I will skate like the wind with this burden off my back. Now that everyone knows, it is just that much better. Being something you are not just to please others is not a way to live. I look “forward”, pun intended, to the season and see if my new wings can fly. I would like to thank my GM for his personal support, he has been great and is considering a lifestyle change himself, from what I have been told. So thank you Bana, you are the best.

Review: Interesting design. I like the text and the player effects. The background is interesting as well and it really looks good. Great job.
