Randy Bobandy took his first depreciation hit of -153 TPE this off season. I’m just earning welfare+ now to keep filling my 1150ish TPA build’s bank for next season. I started banking already but got greedy and upgraded LD and DI for fun. Bobandy is currently ranked 15th in TPA among all VHL players, 9th in VHL centres. I’m projected to get around the same depreciation this upcoming season plus a little more of course, which my single season TPE earnings can match. I even slowed my earnings down a bit last season and season prior, on previous pace I should have hit 1400 TPE already, I’m at 1300 currently. I have player store money when the depreciation gets rougher in my 7th/8th seasons and in my 9th season it’s basically see you later old guy anyways. I don’t think the depreciation hurts unless you’re trying to get 95+ attributes, which only like less than 1% of the VHL population has since they cost 10 TPE each. I did slow down my earning for 1-2 seasons and I don’t earn maxed capped now, which not everyone will agree on being fun to do, but I’m having fun with this 9 season VHL career. Only awards I’ve won are VHLE awards but I’m also only halfway through my VHL career.

Houston Bulls First Week in the VHLM Hello Houston fans! I'm doing well thanks for asking. Through one week of the VHLM the Houston Bulls have been seeing changes like no other team in S92. Houston currently ranks number 1 in S92 Waiver Signings with 11 players signed! This recent ad drop couldn't have come at a better time for Houston, after a S91 Cup Contending season, the roster was left empty, only to be filled by four S92 draft picks. Houston picked up 3 forwards plus a goaltender from the draft, and traded for another forward from Vegas. Since then, the current 10-4-2 roster we have built has been swarmed by first gens! These are not your typical first gen waivers though, someone take the horseshoe out of my rear and check out the development these players have shown in three weeks or less of joining the team: Name: Base TPE -> Current TPE Lucy Leitner: 60 -> 135 Nathan Ecker: 60 -> 128 Nathan Schwartz: 60 -> 114 Ondrej Vencko: 60 -> 110 Filip Zinek: 60 -> 95 Charles Losfeld: 60 -> 81 Dylan Boland: 60 -> 77 Benjamin Abenduct: 66 -> 130 Cody Toland: 66 -> 89 Jack Dickins: 66 -> 85 I am so proud of this group already. These are just the totals of our players from waiver signings, not including centreman Deez nutz who seems to unfortunately be going inactive. We also have captain Trimiskez Artav, first gen player, approaching the TPE cap in their first season of play. These TPE jumps are crazy, these players are a treat for any lucky GM, and it is already showing through our play. 5-5-2 to start the season is nothing to be excited or disappointed about. Houston has multiple players in VHLM top 10 categories, as well as multiple players over or around a point per game. I can't imagine what this team will look like in a few weeks when playoffs start itching closer. By then I am sure most of our roster will have found a way to be effective, whether that be on the offensive or defensive side of the puck. This team shows a lot of heart and dedication to getting there. It is a process, like most things in life, you can't get rich quick folks! Houston is ready to grind out this season and develop all these talented S93 prospects for a fun playoff run. Here is a look at Houston's schedule to start to the season: Game 1: W 6-4 Game 2: SOL 2-1 Game 3: L 2-1 Game 4: OTL 4-3 Game 5: L 5-4 Game 6: W 6-2 Game 7: L 4-2 Game 8: L 4-3 Game 9: W 4-2 Game 10: W 7-6 Game 11: W 5-1 Game 12: L 8-3 To wrap this article up I'd like to share something we do in Houston (some teams may have other names for it) called The Flaming Bull Award. We have been doing it for a few seasons now and essentially it is a Player of the Game Award. Each sim there are usually 1-3 games simmed per team, of those 1-3 games I decide who played the best. This award is a lot of fun to hand out because I find players actually want to win it, they want to perform well in sims and earn my made up award. If I were a player on this team I would probably want to win it a couple times too. There have been some close decisions this season already but here are the Flaming Bull Award Winners through the first 6 sims of play: Game 1, 2: Game Winning Goal, 3 Assists, 4 Points, 7 Shots Blocked Game 3,4: Win, 0.946 SV%, 35/37 Game 5, 6: 2 Goals, 3 Assists, 15 Shots Game 7, 8: 3 Assists, +1, 5 Shots Blocked Game 9, 10: 2 Goals, 2 Assists, 5 Shots Game 11, 12: 3 Goals - Hat Trick, Game Winning Goal, 1 Assist, 12 Shots

HOUSTON BULLS PRESSER! Hello and welcome to this week's Houston Bulls Presser! One week through the VHLM already wow. It's flying by and the Bulls have already played 10 games so far, lots more to play though! Please answer each question to your best ability. Answer three questions for 1 capped TPE or six for 2 capped TPE! For the Week Ending Jan 21th, here are your questions! 1. Houston after 1 week: 4-4-2, 4th in the Western Conference. Does our current record reflect the rest of the season? 2. How has your player performed through these first 10 games? 3. Team Bonding Opportunity!: Ondrej Vencko @Mutti is our well known drug addict. We need to hop the border from Texas to Mexico, what vehicle are we cruising in to partake in illegal activities? 4. @Nathan_8 was announced this week as Houston's newest AGM. Do you have any words of advice for Nathan? Anything you would like to say? 5. Our captain Trimiskez Artav @jake and our assistant captain Chris Reynolds Jr @Crstats23 lead the team with 7 goals each. In a 72 game season, how many goals will the two end up with? My guess is around 45-50 goals for each of them. How many goals will your player end with? 6. I am deciding to drop everything I have and run! The mafia has caught up to me and Houston needs a new GM now. You have been chosen to fill my spot! As GM of the Houston Bulls what is the first thing you do? To claim TPE: Go to the portal > Player > Manage > Claim Capped > Type > Press Conference Thank you to everyone who participates in these pressers, I read all of your answers! Let's Go Bulls!
