I like the simplicity in this design.  Good work on applying a team logo to the player's T-shirt, that was a nice touch.  I also like the Florida Man design in the corner.  It took me a minute to get it, but it is really quite effective.  Your player has an unusual expression on his face and I have yet to figure out what you are trying to convey, but that really doesn't matter as I like it anyway.  Your choice of background is a little pedestrian.  Something a bit or dramatic could be a suggestion.  Keep up the nice work.  7.5/10

Straight Outa Mockba.  Nice graphic.  I like your choice of a blue background and overall blue tint as it represents the cold North very well.   Your choice of subject matter was refreshing in tht you did not use a hockey player, and yet the sense of passion and intensity is definitely present.  Your choice and colour of font for the players name is good.  However, the material that is written in below the players name is a bit hard to decipher.  It could be made to pop a bit more.  Nice work, as usual !!!  9/10

Thanks

Overall I mostly like what you have going on here.  I like the general blue tint to the whole graphic with the exception of Dubas' face.  I also like how you incorporated the logo into the background of your graphic.  I assume that there is no name because we should recognize person.  My suggestions would be to have your text a bit more distinct.  I do like your choice of font and your use of lower case.  Nice work  8/10

1. How does it feel to be a Steel?
 
Pretty awesome.  I was thrilled when adison @adison reached out to offer me the opportunity of playing for the Steel.  It didn't take me long to decide !!!
 
2. What do you think about your performance so far in the JST?
 
I am more than pleased.  Noodles has the lead in point production with 16 in 6 games.  Pretty much beast mode.
 
3. Any changes you think should happen with the lines or for players to join the team?
 
The Steel are 6 - 0.  I don't think any changes are necessary at this point.
 
4. What is your favorite Sport to watch? Also favorite sport to play?
 
Well, hockey of course.  I watch it quite a bit, but don't play it so much anymore.
 
5. If you had the chance to move a team or create one what city would you make it HQ?
 
In my previous persona of Isau DaMoose I made a play to have a VHL team placed in Swords, Ontario.  I stand by my choice.
 
6. Favorite Candy?
 
Anything with chocolate in it.

I think the fire theme is just fine.  It is certainly fitting with the "Phoenix" who rises from its own ashes, right ?  Also, that color scheme makes your graphic nice and bright. Nice use of the cityscape in te background.  It associated the team and the city quite well.  Nice logo swap.  It looks nice and clear.  I also like the dynamism portrayed on your choice of player.  My only minor suggestion would be to make your text a bit more distinct.  I like it !!!!  8.5/10

Well, fishy @fishy let me one of the many who really do appreciate your presence on this forum.  Please take pride in your accomplishments, even if, sometimes, they are not well met.  Why am I here ?  Good question.  And one I really don't think about much.  I do like the sense of community.  but let me make a comment here.  I have been part of forum-based "activities" for many, many years.  When I first started, it was the Wild West...anything goes, no respect for gender, race or creed.  That being said, at the time my mother passed.  One of the guys (from Georgia USA, I am in Northern Ontario) actually picked up the phone and called me with condolences and prayers.  That just blew me away !!  So, ya, the community thing is one of the reasons I am here.
 
Fundamentally, this forum/game is a source of entertainment. I enjoy hockey...always have since I started playing more than 50 years ago.  So, gravitating to a hockey-based game was pretty natural.
 
Third point being that with all the covid shit that has come down in the last 2 years, I have been kind of trapped in my home for more than 6 months a year.  May - September I am pretty much at my cottage with no internet so things slow down as far as the VHL is concerned.  But, otherwise, with no escape to sun, sand and margaritas, all I do is shovel snow !!!
 
Any way, fishy, like you, I enjoy being here.  If I didn't I would be long gone !!  But I have to say in closing that this does not occupy a whole big chunk of my life.  I am not consumed by these types of games/forums.  When you read what I post, you get what you get...I am not the most sensitive person in the world and I know it, but that's who I am.  No veneer....

Sales @thadthrasher, been there with ya.  Just retied Isau DaMoose.  He had a great ride, although Riga suffered mightily at the hands of STHS during his stay there...which, coincidentally, was his entire VHL career.

Let's see what happens to these "superstars" after the reroll.

I too am very fond of skylines or cityscapes.  The Bratislava skyline is very distinctive, so I can see why you use it extensively.  I like the color scheme in that you use the colors that are incorporated in to the Bratislava Watchmen logo.  Your use of the VHLE name multiple times  across the centre of the graphic is very effective and informative.  Your text stands out and is easy to read.  Your player seems to be very proud of playing for the Watchmen.  Overall, I like what you have going on here. 9/10

I like what you have going on here.  The simplicity of the graphic is very effective.  The inclusion of the two trophies is also quite informative.  The use of a "cameo" for the player is also effective and relatively unique.  I would also like to commend you on an excellent logo swap.  Your color scheme is pleasing to the eye as there are no clashes.  Everything blends well togather.  I might suggest making the text pop a little more as it seems to get lost on the left hand side.

Junior Review
 
Introducing Noodles Marconi.  This badboy is straight out of the Alberta Badlands, referred often as “Badlands tough” as everything alive in the badlands either wants to bite you or poison you (in most cases both).  Little is known about Noodles’ childhood other than his family were ranchers in one of the most rugged places on the planet.

 
 Noodles’ minor hockey career was mostly uninspiring due to his long gangly frame (hence the name “Noodles”).  He followed pretty much a normal trajectory for Canadian kids, every two years moving on to the next division.  It was not until the summer of his 18th year when he began to fill out that Noodles began to be considered for a hockey career. Noodles hockey awakening came when he was invited to play for the Drumheller Dragons.

Here he spent two seasons developing his skills and becoming physically larger and stronger. Originally considered to be a journeyman right winger, Noodles surprised his coaches (and likely himself) by turning in a final season point total of 40 goals and 40 assists. After graduating from high school, Noodles entered the University of Calgary where he spent his undergraduate years playing for the legendary University of Calgary Dinos.  Again, thought to be a journeyman player, Noodles hit the score sheet on a regular basis much to the delight of his coaches and the fans.
 

When interviewed, his coaches unanimously declared that Noodles played with the most heart that they had seen in a long while.  They commented positively on his defense and scoring ability.  They also suggested that Noodles needed to work on his skating and strength.  
 
Recently, Noodles announced his decision to turn pro.  This was met with limited response from the VHLM with only Mississauga and Mexico City showing interest.  Noodles chose to try to play for Mexico City, having just recently accepted their FA offer.  When asked why, he responded, “ That is where Isau DaMoose played.  DaMoose is the hockey player after whom I model my game.  He played a two-way game and was a consistent contributor.  I am sure that his time in Mexico City had something to do with that!”
 

 
“Also,” Noodles stated, “I could be spending a season and a half with Mexico as I won’t be draft eligible until the end of next season.  That gives me time to work on my game and to be a more complete player.”
 

“ At the end of the day,” Noodles concluded, “I just hope I can contribute to the Kings’ success.  I have always played for the logo on the front of my jersey, not the name on the back.  And that ain’t gonna change !!”

If I recall correctly, the RFA was abolished at some point. I don't know when, but it's gone cause members were so loyal nobody was caring about this option. Literally, the only time I remember someone was using that stuff was Punk when I drafted him like 25 something seasons ago. Basically this was a rare stuff. However, nowadays I see some members who may have used that stuff for funzies so maybe bring this back eh? May spice it up for GM's and that comes from one of em. I expect people saying that is still gonna be useless, but who knows...RFA lives matter!
 
Other than that, trade deadline over, I created a new guy and I hope he will be a good player. Sirkants was decent, but spending 3 seasons as a backup and overly not caring about TPE earning on last summer did hit him hard a bit. Also, he never was a member of meta team so there's that.
 
Other than that x2 - Riga Reign wins cause we traded for Alex Johnston so other teams gonna give up for sure. 100% guarantee from hedge.
 
Other than that x3 - I have no high S84 picks. Oh...

1. If your player was going to play any other sport which would it be and why?

2. What is your players pump up song and or genre before their games?

3. What is the best flavor of icecream? and why is cookies and cream or caramel pecan?

Nice sig.  Your render is nice and clear.  The player shows intensity and that works with the overall effect.  I am really glad to see that it is wearing a cage !!  You choice of color palette, that is, the use of warm colors is effective.  Color theory claims that warm colors evoke passion and intensity which fits with what I mentioned about the render.  Your choice of font for the player's surname is good, but "Reylynn" seems to be a bit blurry.  Overall, nice work.  Thanks for sharing  8/10

I like this graphic for a few reasons.  I like that it is informative.  How the player render is positioned leads one's eyes naturally to the information presented.  The use of space is also effective.  Sometimes it is not what you include, but, rather, what you do not include.  A little bit of space allows the graphic to "breathe".  Your choice of a colour palette is effective and appealing.  The use of warm or hot colours suggest passion and that is what I would want for a hockey player graphic.  The overall effect is very pleasant.  9/10

First off, let me say, that I really like this graphic.  The colour scheme grabs one's attention.  According to colour theory, the predominantly cool colours evoke calmness an a sense of relaxation.  It don't know that this was done cognitively or instinctively, but it works.  Secondly, the flow of the graphic leads one's eyes to the player's name.  Again a positive element in terms of design.  The text is unique.  I certainly like the wavy effect in the player's surname.  Overall 9/10
