Beketov

I just want a singles match with some story haha. I was going to say put me against Parechkin but you're the one I was pinning when the interference happened so this made more sense.

Man, Mercer is just cleaning up haha. Also, still upset with having been eliminated from the Tag Tournament, Rage officially challenges Aleksanteri to a cage match so that his partner can't interfere and break things up this time. @Ahma@Molholt

I'd like to see a little more depth to the BG, feel almost pure black right now. Same with the text, I like the broken effect but it feels a little flat. Lighting is good but could be a little stronger to make things pop. I like the orange highlights (orange makes a great highlight colour in a colour scheme like this) but do more with it. Effects and blending are well done and the text style / placement is perfect. Just make things pop a bit more and you'll have a masterpiece.

The colouring is interesting although I feel as if it might be a tad too strong for the lighting that is present. Strong colouring is fine in itself but you need to get some strong contrast lighting on the face to really make it pop. Unfortunately your lighting looks washed out and doesn't seem to have any effect on the render. Get some curves layers on the render to create contrast (or burn / dodge it for added bonus) to make the light do what you want. As is this looks like natural lighting that you slapped a brush onto. Lighting / Colouring aside I like the text style and the depth but I think they are backwards. Blur the BG (lest side especially) a bit more and bring the text back into focus. Overall, well done, just needs a few adjustments to really pop.

Good to know. I think I just added a lot since the last update which is why things look so low. Carry on.

I know its never been quite as frequent but how often are attributes updated in the sim for the VHLM?

One of these days maybe I won't suck...

3-2 Yukon

Brampton Ottawa Bern

Glad to get my first SO, although only facing 9 shots it doesn’t take much.

Could we play any other team this season?

I know I hate when my face turns slightly blue, I don’t know about you

Well I still sucked hard but at least we won

I'm getting tired of these 40+ shot games against Ottawa...

We did used to have that colour scheme, back before we moved Hamilton to New York Man, we were oh so original back in the day haha

3 individual awards over the course of 7 full careers. Wow, I am apparently more awful than I thought. And really, none of those three were ever vote based ones. People didn't have a choice haha. Heck I'm pretty sure Green has beaten my 46 season total in each of the past three seasons. Do my players seriously suck that hard?

I've been around since S1 but I've actually barely ever won individual awards. Two Assist Trophies with Beketov and a leading Scorer with White but that's about it I think. I apparently make good players for winning cup (I've done that with basically all my players) but do so at times when competition is crazy stiff for awards and always get crushed.

3-1 Yukon

Royals Wild Lynx

Two games into Season 47 of the VHLM and things are not looking too hot in Saskatoon. The team dropped their first two games (both against Ottawa) and allowed a league high 84 shots against their rookie goaltender Jakob Holik. After the game Holik was particularly upset about his team's performance. "Frankly, it feels like I was thrown under a bus out there. I know I didn't have my best games ever but it's pretty challenging when you are facing shot totals up above 40 and your team can't seem to block anything." -- Jakob Holik The wild blocked only a total of 19 shots and only managed to put 5 of their own in the net over the course of the two games. Lines will likely be changed up going forward to try and prevent box scores like they saw in their opening games but Holik is already seeing a trend he doesn't like. "Honestly, it feels as if the Wild drafted me so that I could completely carry the weight of the team. I don't know if that's the case but it's how it seems. I'm not playing my best hockey and need to improve myself but that won't happen facing that many shots. If we want to win this season, we need to all put the effort in to get the stat lines evened out and stop the other teams from getting so many chances. I'm not interested in getting slaughtered every night." -- Jakob Holik

I'll join but I think we already know who wins these every time...

Man, @Kendrick bleeds like fucking Rick Flair when you cut him open haha. I will say, I've always been a bit annoyed by WWE games regarding how often tag partners break things up. A combination of that and Kendrick's bad luck may have cost us after I hit the pedigree and the engine decided that it wanted to have kendrick leave the ring with Parechkin just standing there.

This is gonna be a long season with shot totals like this...

I would be really surprised if the game had the Canadian Destroyer since it was made famous by a TNA guy, absolutely amazing move to see done though.

This feels oddly triply to me, I'm not entirely sure why. I think it's something about the BG being so green while the render and text seem under-saturated. Just gives it an odd vibe. Not necessarily bad, just odd. I'd like to see a bit more lighting to really make the render (and it's nice effects) pop and maybe an extra exposure layer to blend everything together just a tad bit better. I do like your subtle depth with the leaves going over the text BTW, nice touch. Good job overall.
