So I've gotten back into this again. This game really is my true love of video games. Only Pokemon Blue, Diablo II and Destiny have ever held my attention this long (and Destiny has only been a year) and EHM07 is second only to Diablo II, which I remember playing off and on during junior high and high school but this is coming close to eclipsing it.
In my main file that I started in December 2011 in real life, I'm in the year 2046. I was with the Wheat Kings for 4 years, then Habs for 20+ years before leaving for Quebec, MODO and now back in the NHL with the Lightning. I think I've been there about 7 years or so. Won back to back Cups then a finals appearance the year after.
When I came in, they had just drafted this defenseman first overall who's like 230lbs and is an absolute beast, the regen of the perfect player I originally entered into the game as an experiment, as well as the year before they drafted some 236lb center who's phenomenal (getting him to average around 150 points a year with 19 minutes of ice time). I also got the regen of Chara and is putting up a 9.0 rating in his rookie season
I think when I move teams again, I want to run a defensive style team and only take players who are 220+ if I can. Exploiting the weight glitch can be fun.
