ESPN NHL 2k5 (XBOX) League
 
This is really the sports game I am craving. Anyone want to get in a league? Game comes out this Wednesday. I'd like to be the Bruins. But if there is a lot of people who want the same teams, I'll hold a draft.

I will take the Canucks.

1998Nole 08-28-04 08:00 PM

I would like the Flyers.

Is it onsale anywhere this week?

I have not played a console Hockey in years though. The last one I remember playing was on the SNES in 1995.

deadlax 08-28-04 09:15 PM

$20 ($15 w/ gamer coupon) seems good enough for me.

cmcbruins 08-28-04 10:31 PM

I will take the Toronto Maple Leafs

deadlax 08-29-04 09:09 PM

Leafs have already been taken.

JChaos 08-30-04 10:22 AM

I suck at hockey, but I'm in. I'll take Detroit if they're still available.

rocketsauce 08-30-04 12:09 PM

Damn me and my Chicago sports team affiliations. Why must I stay to true to Chi-Town............... Yes I'll take the Blackhawks

ween 08-30-04 12:12 PM

so...how does the hockey league stuff work? How long is the season and how many games a week? All I am familiar with online is football

Obey The D 08-30-04 01:12 PM

Even though I'm sure they will suck all kinds of ass, I'll take the New York Rangers.

When I used to play a league for NHL 2002 on the PC, we used to do a game every other day. It worked well for us, but we were all college kids with nothing better to do. I assume this league will be a bit different.

The other thing we did was play a short season. I think one season we played enough games so that everyone played each other once, then the other time we did twice. I think it will need to depend on how often we play games. I know I would like it if we could do playoffs every couple months because playoff hockey is what it's all about!

Jeraden 08-30-04 02:23 PM

Count me in, I'll take the Penguins

deadlax 08-30-04 03:03 PM

I think this is going to be a 27 (approx.) game season. But i am more than willing to take suggestions.

ween 08-30-04 03:15 PM

My friend is in and he will take the Devils

Copenhagen 08-30-04 03:20 PM

Just my .02, have your friend register here. Part of the fun of these leagues in the interaction with fellow board members. I'm not saying he has to to play, but it would be nice.

ElementZ 08-30-04 04:37 PM

Do you guys keep your stats updated here, I don't have an xbox but would love to see the results. I wish I could play.

Ginsu 08-31-04 10:40 AM

$170 and your in!

DiabolicalBunny 08-31-04 04:24 PM

I just got back with my game in hand, about to try it out. When do you suspect the league will begin? Are we going to wait to get a full slate of teams or just start shorthanded?

1998Nole 08-31-04 04:32 PM

Just got it today, can't wait to try it out.

ween 08-31-04 04:36 PM

WHere did you get it? Best Buy by any chance?

deadlax 08-31-04 05:53 PM

I'm gonna pick the game up either tonight or tomorrow.

No one else has signed up, so I'm gonna cap the league at the lowest threshold above the number that has signed.

deadlax 08-31-04 05:55 PM

16 people have signed up. I am more than willing to start the league with 16 people. I'm looking out the window, and traffic does not look fun. If someone wants to start the league tonight with the teams stated, they are more than willing. But I will either do it tonight or tomorrow.

rocketsauce 08-31-04 06:20 PM

I went ahead and started the league deadlax. The league name is DVDTalk. and the password is dvdtalk. all lowercase. I made it 16 team league.

deadlax 08-31-04 06:28 PM

Bought the game, joined the league.

lordzeppelin 08-31-04 06:58 PM

geez...I missed it already? FUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKKK

Couldn't you guys wait until the Canada vs US world cup game was over so I could have joined? grrrrrr

deadlax 08-31-04 07:09 PM

Been up for 4 days or so.

1998Nole 08-31-04 07:11 PM

I am in as the Flyers.

Played my first game and only lost 10-2.

lordzeppelin 08-31-04 09:44 PM

Okay...I joined. I grabbed the Thrashers...because I saw a few others had said here who they wanted...(I wanted the Penguins. LOL).

My tag is Ronin317

deadlax 08-31-04 09:59 PM

umm, i think we already had 16 members for a 16 man league. you took someone's spot.

lordzeppelin 08-31-04 10:21 PM

Really? it said there were still 17 spots available when I logged in...you want me to drop it?

Obey The D 08-31-04 10:45 PM

I'll be picking up the game Wed., so I'll sign in when I get back from work.

DiabolicalBunny 09-01-04 12:43 AM

I'm gonna jump into the league momentarily. It's too bad we don't have the interest here for hockey like we do football =o( Oh well.
