Sports News and Fun Rundown


CoachCanada,

Well I took a long break from blogging during and since the Olympics. USA most medals ever won, Canada most golds ever won in the Winter games. Not to bad at all. NHL playoffs are just around the corner, and March Madness. Great to be a sports fan right now.

The most interesting thing for me in the sports world right now is not Tiger, NHL playoffs, March Madness, or The NFL draft. Its the Fox sports yardbarker.com Cheerleader of the Year contest. Now watch the videos and make your votes.

Bballzone.net- League playoffs are underway again and I will be grabbing my 5th straight Canadian title I think. I will post the results for all the large user based countries again. Sign up and get a team. (Still looking for Fox sports writers to make a team in any of these Manager Sims).

Buzzerbeater.com- League playoffs are also happening right now and I will win my league Championship there and move up closer to the top leagues. My draft picks look strong. Sign up for your team.

Basketsim.com- Season 10 is about to start. I just finished a undefeated season 9 in Canadian league 3.1. I moved up to 2.1 one step below the top Naismith league. I look to be in the top 5 teams in my new league. Sign up now.

Charzey.com- Season is winding down and after moving up a league last season I have had a tough go of it and should finish middle of the pack. Sign up and try any of these Manager Sims. After your teams are set up it is only a couple minutes every second day or so to keep them running smoothly.

I guess I must need basketball manager simulator re-hab eh Tiger?

Go Canucks, go Duke.

Canada's First Gold Medal on Home Soil


CoachCanada,

Fredric Bilodeau wins Canada's first gold medal, in our history on home soil. Even though he had ended a 30 year plus drought within seconds of learning he had won, he reached out to pat Guilbault Colas of France (6th) on the back. This gesture sums up the Canadian people and athletes in one motion. Fierce when competing, yet humble in victory, while also showing concern for others.

Canadians fierce? Not exactly our image around the world. But take a step back and look deeper and you will find what is at the core of most Canadians. In daily life manners play a most important role to us. The flip side is that you could quickly get a punch in the nose if you do not use manners while conducting yourself in our everyday society. (visitors are given great latitude).

Our National sport Lacrosse and what is considered our game Hockey. Are the only modern day team sports where there will be fighting in almost every match. Another contradiction to our world image as a polite to a fault country.

Stephen Colbert pointed out in his mock news show the Steven Colbert Report, that access to practice was being denied by the evil Canadians to team USA. Very funny stuff considering the IOC has a specific amount of access to training that has to be given to visiting countries during the Olympics, and Canada in all sports made sure all countries had more then the set amounts. But it made for great TV and promoted the USA's speed skating team.

It seems that when you look at Canadians as a whole they are very polite but quick to fight in sports and bars. Not so bad I guess when hand guns are not in every second or third pocket. The vast majority of us also like Americans and want you to come and visit your Northern allies; you deserve the break and we could use the money. Just bring a please and thank-you, you will find Canadians bending over backwards to make your visit a fantastic vacation.

Mens Hockey starts today, and Canadians are getting pumped to watch. Canada and the USA's men teams are threats to win medals. The USA's and Canadian woman's teams will meet in the finals unless there is a freakish upset. Good luck to all teams, and here's hoping for more great results for Canada and the USA.

Thanks for reading.

Medal leaders:

USA 8
GER 6
FRA 5
CAN 4

New Dream Team for the USA


CoachCanada,

The USA Woman's hockey team defeated Canada 2-1 to win the Canada Cup Sept 09/09, this is the second win in a row for the Americans who beat them 4-2 earlier in the tournament. They have also won the 2008 and 2009 World Championships. Setting them in the role of favorite going into the Olympics. After they lost the 2006 Olympic finals to the Canadians. The Americans found some of the top young players in the country and built a new team with these stars. It has paid off. The wins brought the all-time record to 48 losses, 33 wins, and 1 tie for the US. But the Americans have dominated the last 2 years.

The Americans and the Canadians are the two dominate woman's hockey teams on the planet, and the Gold medal final would only not happen if one of the two teams are upset. Sweden and Finland should meet in the Bronze medal match. There should be some exciting games and I look forward to seeing the outcome.

Russian Ice Dancers Recieve Unwarented Racism from Australian Aboriginal Leaders

(source) Macleans Magazine Canada-Feb 8th edition. Section: Newsmakers

CoachCanada, I quote;

"Russian champion ice dancers Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin wowed European judges with their program based on Australian Aboriginal music and dress, but they face a uncertain welcome at Olympic competition in Vancouver. Their costumes, dark-toned bodysuits decorated with paint, eucalyptus leaves and red loincloths, have enraged Australian Aboriginal leaders. Spokesman for four Olympic host First Nations in B.C. have already said they want to meet with the skaters to discuss issues of cultural sensitivity."

I am part Native Cree, born in B.C. And this is what I have to say about this story. Firstly, I will speak about the "Truths".

I use the word Free for understanding to all non-Natives, and some Natives as well. Neither the word 'free' nor any corresponding term occurs in the root languages of North America, in the primal concept: there never was anything for the Native to free himself from. When one was taken from one tribe, if you adopted their ways you became son, daughter, husband or wife with all rights. If not escape in the way of your choice. But for easier understanding here are some truths that were so ingrained they never had to be discussed; They were Known.

All the People have the right to Live Free- this is a Sacred Truth.
All the people have the right to Freedom of Choice- this is a Sacred Truth.
All the people have the right to Freedom of Expression- this is a Sacred Truth.
All the people have the right to Pursue and Express their Spirituality- this is a Sacred Truth.

All the people have the right to Sing, and to live a life Worthy of Song.

"If it is not of the Spirit, it is not Native." The Grandfathers have said so.

These are just a few of the "Truths" relating to this story. I believe the four spokesman from the B.C. First Nations should visit the Aboriginal leaders to teach them our "Truths". And remind them of theirs; unless they themselves have forgotten them. I will relate this story to the path as I have learned.

As a man, if I spend time with a different Tribe, or just see a person from a different Tribe. And something about the Tribe's appearance (hairstyle, dress, art, songs, dance etc.) appealed to me. I can without a second glance from my Tribe adopt this new way of looking, singing, or dancing etc. In fact some of my Brothers and Sisters would also like the new way I look or dance and join in. This is one of the Sacred Truths and one of the most important parts of (our), at least my Native Cultural; path.

"No one Man's way is better than another." The Grandfathers have said so.

The American Native, before Columbus, was one of the remnants of a very Ancient race. A race that had started spreading across the world some 100,000 to 60,000 years ago depending on who's scientific theory you adhere to. We are truly "One Race" with different skin tones, facial features, and beliefs; but at one time the "Truths" were known to all Tribes of Human-Beings." The American Natives had attained perhaps the highest working concept of individualism ever attained and practiced by a group of Human-Beings on earth.

Secondly, this applies to "US" all. In the past (and now), whatever we needed to know, nature sooner or later revealed to us. And that what we desired to know--the best way to achieve our maximum spiritual potential--was the only mystery we choose to investigate, not the way of the mystic, or psychic powers but only our own spiritual growth.

In conclusion, if the two ice dancers from the Russian Tribe choose the ice to "sing their song" and they choose Aboriginal music and dress to sing (skate). No Tribe, man or women has the right to judge and say this is not good, or culturally insensitive. Painting your face Black and acting the fool. Now that was culturally insensitive. Big difference.

I would hope that the Australian Aboriginal leaders would talk and think about their position. If they are still angry I would understand and respect them. But they must understand the Olympics are in Canada; a free country. And I hope the Native leaders from B.C. respect the Russian's right to freedom of choice and expression in their choice of dance music and costume.

In My Village I Stand Alone--Together
When Hunting I Stand Alone--Together
In Battle I Stand Alone--Together

The Grandfathers have said so.


My thoughts, thank you for reading.

The Final Basketball Sim Review and Winner Bballzone.net



CoachCanada,

I decided not to write about the Sim I did not like because there is a team of developers working on it. They also have other sports Sims that are successful. So I will try them another time and see if they listened to the many suggestions they are receiving.

Basketball Sim Review Summary.

***********************************

My Overall Rankings:

1) Bballzone.net

2) Buzzerbeater.com
3) Basketsim.com
3) Charazay.com

These 4 are simply the best I have found so far. Each has it's own strengths and weaknesses. All are worth trying and once you have your teams set-up, and you understand how to get your team's players to train. Find what offense and defense are your strengths. How to scout the opponents. You will be ready to win some titles. After the initial time needed to learn the basics it takes a small amount of time per/day to keep your teams improving. And who knows you could be running your countries National Team eventually.

Graphics winner:

1) Buzzerbeater.com- free player faces, and the whole site is nicely done; to bad about the forum.
2) Bballzone.net- with player faces in the works, detailed user pages; and the best forum format.

Tactics winner:

1) Bballzone.net- the only Sim where you can set to double team. All the settings you would want.
2) Charazay.com- team game broken down to control the individual. Everything but double team option.

Training winner:

1) Bballzone.net- all players train. Many options to choose from. Private trainers free for over 30 players.
2) Charazay.com- all players train. Nice player skill numerical rate. But costly to have trainers.

Game Engine:

1) Bballzone.net: complete current player stat line with the play description, clock between 1/4's. And nice team comparison after game. Full game chronology to look through as well.
2) The other 3 are also very good.

Forum winner:

1) Bballzone.net- no comparison. the format, set-up, easy to find topics.
2) The other Sims... I have no idea why they use the formats they do. I have been in a guild in different RPG games and we decided to set up a non-game forum and had better easier to use forums than the one's offered by these Sims. Takes 5 minutes to set up a basic forum.

Supporter winner:

1) Bballzone.net- no advantage in any way. they are working on incentives to entice you to become a supporter, we will see how it goes.
2) All the others give advantages to supporters, be it more games, stats, trophy rooms, player faces, uniform choices etc. But these games are for profit so it seems fair to me. No advantages in game-play that are measurable to the normal player, but there could be small advantages in player training etc. Who knows besides the developers.

Up-Coming Improvements: All the developers in all 4 sims are working hard to improve their product. And the online gamer is the benefactor.


Fun winner: All these Sims are fun, and if you like basketball try them. I lean towards Bballzone.net because off their Christmas Tree Promo, And overall well thought-out game.

Bballzone.net the only game where you can **name and pick the position of your franchise player**. New Season starting in 9 days. Own your Team NOW!

Last Basket Sim Review Basketsim.com

CoachCanada,

This week I move from my favorite Basketball Manager Sim Bballzone.to the other ones I have tried and play. My reviews will be mostly positive because I like all but 1 of these 5 Sims I found; that I thought worth trying. This review is on the simulator Basketsim.com.

League games and Country Cup matches. National Teams

I will rate it out of 10 in these 8 areas. Graphics, Tactics, Training,
Game Engine, Forum, Supporter Advantages, Fun, Up-coming Improvements.

*******************************

GAME REVIEW:

#3 Basketsim.com (8) Overall Rate

Graphics: (9) good graphics. easy to move around and find what you need.

Tactics: (9) are good, simple to learn, but to match the right defense and offense to your opponent is hard. You pick player positions, team defense and offense choices are yours.

Training: (10) you can train all players at once, training really depends on the quality of your coach, only thing you need to do is make sure a player starts 1 game a week to train. You can also buy a gym and train players BMI, and this effects power and speed.

Game Engine: (9) is good. Easy to read when you watch games. "Very Descriptive play calling and funny comments by announcers". Players are rated at the end of game out of 5 stars. You pick your starting 5 and away you go, the only time there are subs is if a guy foul outs.

Forum: (9) the players are really active and the Mods as well. I have never had a question go 10 minutes with-out a reply. It would get a 10 but again ugly format.

Supporter: (9) there are some advantages to being a supporter. Player faces more games is one. more stats, But as far as game-play no real advantage. Also can make new uniforms, logo, and trophy room etc. Usual safe ways to pay.

Fun: (10) They have many 3pt contests for free supporter time, and these are sponsored by teams owners. There is almost constantly contest showing Very Generous players in this Sim. Another Sim where once you get a good coach you are set in this Sim to make some noise.

Up-coming Improvements: game improvements are transfer market has been changed, tiredness levels have been adjusted so depending on what tactic you use some make you more tired. Tactics have been tweaked. Another hard working group of people offering a good time running a basketball team.

Next Basketball Sim Review Charazay



CoachCanada,

This week I move from my favorite Basketball Manager Sim Bballzone.to the other ones I have tried and play. My reviews will be mostly positive because I like all but 1 of these 5 Sims I found; that I thought worth trying. This review is on the simulator Charazay.com.

League games and Country Cup matches. National Teams

I will rate it out of 10 in these 8 areas. Graphics, Tactics, Training,
Game Engine, Forum, Supporter Advantages, Fun, Up-coming Improvements.

*******************************

GAME REVIEW:

#3 Charazay.com (8) Overall Rate

Graphics: (7) basic graphics. Supporters get player faces, easy to find what you are looking for.

Tactics: (10) are really good. Tie with Bballzone for the best; You pick player positions, frequency of looks, player defense and offense intensity, and what kind of shots they look for. Out-standing. Offense and Defensive tactic choices are yours.

Training: (10) you can train all players at once, training really depends on the quality of your coach, a good feature is you can set your young recruits to a development league and then set their traning eg. rebounds, defense, speed the same as for your guys on your main team, and they still get playing time. Another good thing is players are given a skill index eg.200.234 is a good player and even if his skill that you train does not "pop" you see him growing. You can also send all players to trainers to improve their BMI. Fantastic.

Game Engine: (10) is good. Easy to read when you watch games. Descriptive play calling. Shot Chart, Box Score, and Quick Link to current game stats. Games are done very fast with no breaks between periods.

Forum: (8) the players are really active and the Mods as well. Also they use a ticket system to deal with questions and bugs so a reply is assured.

Supporter: (9) there are some advantages to being a supporter. Player faces, more games is one, more stats, set up your own tournaments and prizes. But as far as game-play no real advantage. Usual safe ways to pay. Very cheap to pick up game money used to set up tourneys, friendly matches, games against all-star teams etc.

Fun: (10) They have many contests, It is probably the 2nd largest amount of users off all the Sims I play. Eg. of a contest. Members are asked to vote for the game on a specific voting site and the whole server got some game money for reaching the set ranking. After you get a good coach you are set in this sim to make some noise.

Up-coming Improvements: right now they are raising money for Haiti. Game improvements are team rebounding all players are more involved in crashing the boards, to test the changes they are giving all players a chance to set up their own tournament to test changes, small change to number of blocks per/game. Allot of work being done to keep improvements going.

Newest Basketball Sim Review Buzzerbeater

CoachCanada,

This week I move from my favorite Basketball Manager Sim Bballzone.to the other ones I have tried and play. My reviews will be mostly positive because I like all but 1 of these 5 Sims I found; that I thought worth trying. This review is on the simulator Buzzerbeater.com.

League games and Country Cup matches. National Teams

I will rate it out of 10 in these 8 areas. Graphics, Tactics, Training,
Game Engine, Forum, Supporter Advantages, Fun, Up-coming Improvements.

*******************************

GAME REVIEW:

#2 Buzzerbeater.com (9) Overall Rate

Graphics: (10) are the best of all 5 Sims I play. Even non-supporters
get player faces, with user friendly links to stats and information.
The whole game is very well designed.

Tactics: (9) are good. You pick player positions,and can also pick the position they guard. The offense you choose combined with the defense they are facing determines who gets the most looks. You set 1st, 2nd string, as well as reserves. Then you tell your coach how you want him to sub your players or give him free reign to decide. Offense and Defensive tactic choices are yours.

Training: (8) you can choose Team or Individual training. The thing with this Sim is you should decide "which of my players have the most potential combined with youth" and pick specific positions to train. Work your bigs, back-court, or SF's, and then concentrate whole seasons to your choices. I understand the concept but I hate to go whole seasons with-out working all my players. You do get results and can switch more often if you like.The level of the Trainer you have is a big factor in training results.

Game Engine: (10) is good. Easy to read when you watch games. Descriptive play calling. You can chat with other players during games. Shot Chart, Box Score, and Quick Link to current game stats. Sometimes things happen that are hard to understand; like scoring in short amounts of time, and player shot selection. But I enjoy watching games.

Forum: (7) I do not like the format and rarely use the forum. Subjects are here and there, to me its a mess. I suggested Forum formats from other Sims, and non-sport Sims for them to look at. The Mods/GM's are active and so are the players. I take my issue's or questions to other team managers using pm's.

Supporter: (9) there are some advantages to being a supporter. More games is one. More stats, Join Private Leagues. But as far as game-play no real advantage. Usual safe ways to pay.

Fun: (10) They have many contests and I really enjoy this Sim. It is probably the largest amount of users off all the Sims I play. Eg. of a contest. right now members are asked to pm a Sports writer and try to get him to mention the Sim in his articles. I off-course have tried.

Up-coming Improvements: defensive strategy is becoming more user-friendly not only can you pick 2-3 zone etc. but even decide the spots the player defends.Revised bankruptcy rules, New Ads for players your selling, new fair revenue incomes from TV contacts and Team merchandising. They are working very hard to keep improving the game.

Best Free Online Basketball Sim


I have tried many online Basketball Sims, and here is my pick for the best one.**Only in this Sim can you name and pick the position of your franchise player**.

#1) BBALLZONE.NET

1 Game every day.

League games and 2 Tournaments every season.

I will Rate it out of 10 in these 8 areas. Graphics, Tactics, Training, Game Engine, Forum, Supporter Advantages, Fun, Upcoming Improvements.

***************************************

GAME REVIEW:

#1 BasketballZone.net (10) Overall Rate

Graphics: (8) are good, basic colors, easy to read. No player face pictures yet. (being developed right now).

Tactics: (10) are great, you can control individual defense intensity, frequency of 2 and 3 pt shots on offense. Playing style eg. shooter, or play maker, and aggressive. Team Defensive, and Offensive tactics. Fast-Break frequency, Substitute frequency, Sit Starters in blow-out, and Foul in the end if needed.

Training: (10) You can set every under 30 player to their own training program with 4 choices: 1) Athletics-jump-speed-toughness 2) Accuracy-foul shot-2pt-3pt 3) Offense-Drb-Assist-Leadership 4) Defense-Rb-Blk-Steal. All players improve and reports are given 3 times a week. Over 30 year olds have private trainers who try to maintain skills gained during their seasons played.

Game Engine: (10) The best of all 5 sims I Play. Not only do you know who scored but how many 2pts or 3pts that person has so far that game. On all other plays eg. steals the sim tells you who lost it and how many lost by that player, and how many steals the player who stole it has so far in the game. Every play is broken down this way so you are kept current to all players game stats while it happens. eg. If your player misses a foul shot it tells you how many he missed so far in the game and visa versa. Every possible stat. All in 1 easy to read line. Out-standing. Also shot chart, box score, and count down clock between 1/4's.

Forum: (10) Best of all 5 Sims I play. The Mod's and GM's are very very active, and it is organized and easy to find all topics.

Supporter: (10) Abosolutly no advantage is given to supporters and it is strickly your choice how much to donate. Usual safe choices to donate.

Fun: (10) They have many great ways to win in-game money with contests, give-aways, and a recognition program for active managers. eg. of a game- during Christmas at random times when logged in a Christmas tree would pop up on your page if you clicked on it ahead of the other 100's off managers online you would win 10K. There were lots of opportunities to win and dozens of guys would win every time it poped up. etc etc etc.

Up-Coming Improvements: Players Faces, National Team Tournaments, Official International Leagues, Arena Development.

Presently teams in 98 countries 797 Leagues.

**You get to name and pick the position of your franchise player**
