Form is how they are performing. So, if they are at a 7 they have been pretty average. 8 and 9 the guy is on fire. 6 and below he hasn't been up to snuff. So its the game's way of showing you how the player is performing, the eye test if you will.

And with the how to play things, honestly play with what you are familiar with. I learned with EHM 07 by playing with the pens and learning who was who and how to do things based on my real life knowledge.

Now, I can't scout and develop talent. Especially goalies, but I feel like I am doing better this time around targeting who I want. Unfortunately, I did a fantasy draft and accidentally took RJ Umberger (fake names, but i deduced who it was). He has been a huge mistake on my 2nd line.

Oh well that is useful now that I know what it is haha.


PSA:

Make sure you get the real rosters and face packs.

If anyone does a video(s), can I put in a request that you use the Penguins as the team?

Even a short tips video would be helpful. Thanks.

My first and only trade in the first season (which I won the cup see pics in the original post) was to ship Scuderi to Anaheim for Vancouver's 3rd pick that they owned.

If you want to keep Greiss try to lock him up early. After he won the cup (Fleury was injured) he wanted 2.7 per year.

Some will have a mental breakdown when they see this, but I resigned Martin after the season for a one year deal with a lower salary (-500k than previous). I wanted to keep Ehrhoff who was at like close to ppg pace, but he wanted the money (and got 8.25m per year). So if you think you are going to want to keep Ehrhoff too, try to get him signed early.

Not so much tips, but just a little guide on what I did initially.

Just downloaded. Anything I need besides the real rosters, logo megapack and player faces? If not, I'll start fixing the Penguins soon. Haha.

Has anyone tried this on an iPad? I'm extremely interested in checking this out, but it's more than likely gonna be an iPad-centric thing for me, if it works.

You'll have to use whatever tools are needed (wine? *shrug*) to convert computer stuff into mac stuff...

My fantasy team is doing extremely well. Been trying to trade RJ Umberger for about 2 in-game months now and haven't found any suitors. I may wait until the deadline or the draft to move him. I kind of just want to get picks. Unrelated, Detroit has been trying to overpay for everything with draft picks. Its been....sad.
