    Tutankhamen got a reaction from canucks in More Detailed Assistant Reports Regarding Player Progression   
    I like it too.
     
    Especially considering the fact there seem to be a few bugs with the attribute graph meters. Sometimes a player improves and you won't get a message. Other times a player's overall rating goes up, but the graph doesn't show improvement.
    I've even had players improve in a season, but the player's history graph only went up to the previous season (improve in season 15, only show data up to season 14).
     
    So another look at this system won't hurt

    Tutankhamen reacted to IneffableLeafs in More Detailed Assistant Reports Regarding Player Progression   
    Since everyone in clapper is talking about player progression, I'm going to suggest a minor upgrade to the emails you receive when a player improves/declines.
     
    A current example (my team's latest player to improve): 
     
     
    ASSISTANT IMPRESSED BY REMY MERCURIO
    Your assistant is happy to let you know that your defender Remy Mercurio has really improved lately.
     
    This message left me happy, yet unsatisfied.
     This email is missing a crucial convenient touch: which attributes improved?
     
    So I went and checked. Defense went up from 79 to 80.
     Not only that, but about 20 days before, other stats also improved, but I had no indication of this because my assistant did not give me an email. PuckHandling went up from 68 to 69, and Physical went up from 72 to 73. So what I'm proposing is: Tell us right in the email what improved/declined. Here's an example using the same player on my team, with it being day 31 on the season:    ASSISTANT IMPRESSED BY REMY MERCURIOYour assistant is happy to let you know that your defender Remy Mercurio has really improved lately.
    The following attributes have shown growth:
    Defense: Improved from 79 to 80 on Day 31
    PuckHandling: Improved from 68 to 69 on Day 16
    Physical: Improved from 72 to 73 on Day 16
     
    Let me know what you guys think!

    Tutankhamen reacted to GamePlanHockey in Game world paused (now activated)   
    Game World Clapper is once again activated. Yesterday's crash occurred when the games was played. Some of the games made it through while others didn't. The error has now been fixed and no restore was needed. All games of the current day (day 44) has been played but in order to get everyone a chance to get back in I've decided to postpone day 45 for a couple of hours. So don't be worried that no games will be played when the clock hits zero of day 44 since those games already been played.
     Also sorry for the lack of information during this crash.

    So my season ends in the semi-finals once again, after I adjusted my tactics at the start of the season to try and counter some of the better teams.
    Did not pay off, and I'm really disappointed in the performance of my Goalie. I should have kept Reed at all costs it looks like
     
    Good luck to both teams in the Final!

    P.S. Please change Playoff 2/3/4 into quarter/semi/final? Makes it easier to understand in my opinion.

    Tutankhamen reacted to medical3072 in Quitting - All Players Up For Grabs - Victoria Cherokees   
    Clearly teams are taking advantage of CPUs by acquiring all their draft picks and top players. Look at the top teams in this league - almost every one of them abused the system to gain an unfair advantage. Trading with CPUs creates an enormous disparity between player-controlled teams who do not abuse the game and player-controlled teams who DO abuse the game. That's a problem, and it needs to be fixed ASAP.
     
    The simplest way to fix this problem is NOT by "making [trading with CPUs] more difficult" but to ban trading with CPUs entirely. Between free agency, trading with player-controlled teams, and youth draft, there's no reason a player-controlled team should have to trade with CPUs to fill their roster.
     
    Whether this game is "heading in the right direction" or not is irrelevant; trading with CPUs is a feature that is ruining the game.

    Hiya,
     
    Since the draft/prospects were added....it'd be nice to have those available in the drop-down menu for Transfer Needs. Teams should be able to let others know that they want to move their players for only prospects or draft picks(re-build situation).
     
    Great work so far Anders! Can't wait for Mitts and Lumber's first draft

    It would be cool to have some kind of Hall of Fame that collects the best players based on their career performance and trophies (after they retire).
    Obviously this is a low priority suggestion, but I for one would love to be able to look back on the glory days of some of the best players in the gameworld.

    "Recent reports indicate that the Dutchmen's number one goalie Reed is under investigation for the use of a performance enhancing substance"
     
    Reed's extraordinary numbers during the playoffs seem to back up this outlandish claim:

    Tutankhamen got a reaction from Steve in More Free Agents   
    That's because we are in a transition phase towards an implemented Draft System. The draft system will increase the pool of available players and the foreign teams are used to keep the available player pool in check. Before the last update free agent list was way too big and basically ment you never had to trade. So try to look at the bigger picture and wait for the draft system to shake things up

    Tutankhamen reacted to jusatin in Compare Players   
    So, we've been having this following idea with my friends for a while. Being able to easy and quick compare players to each other (without all the hazzle and math it requires now) so I threw together a few scetches for a "compare players" suggestion".
     
    First up is the compare screen itself:
     


     
    So in the compare screen you can have 2 or more players, with their ratings or basic info, contract etc. laid out next to each other. Stronger stats / better contract are being highlighted in green and worse in red with the differense shown in numbers in between. If more players are added that 2, then the color will cut halfway through the player block.
     
    When you click the add player button, it takes you to the following screen:
     
     
    There you first select the League, then the team and finally the player you want to add to the compare. (Could also have a hotkey for your own team.)
     
    Also second option for the compare screen could be their stats laid out horizontally, where you could then sort them stat by stat by clicking the stat name at the top. (A bit like you see now in your roster screen, but with only the players you've selected, and being able to sort).
     
    So, what you think about the idea? How would you implement it? (I know the pictures aren't the best, just something I threw together in 20 mins.)

    Tutankhamen reacted to Royalty in Rio Grande City Bandits - [GamePlanHockey] career story + tutorial   
    Hi all,
     
    I'd like to introduce GamePlanHockey, a browser hockey manager game.
     
    In this topic i will be telling you my career story in the game from start to end (well hopefully there is no end). Along the way, i will discuss all the aspects of the game in depth, which will hopefully help you all to decide if it's a game for you or not 
     
    If you like to know more about this game, i advice you to read this amazing and inspiring blog post of the creator of the game, Anders Granberg. It gives a good insight of what to expect from the game in general.
     
    http://www.gameplanhockey.com/blog/why-another-hockey-manager-game
     
    offcourse you could also directly browse to the main site:
    http://www.gameplanhockey.com
     
    Now, let's start a career!
     
     
    1) The beginning
     
    Like other browser games you will need to fill in a email-address, username and password to start playing gameplanhockey, but there is also one important decision you will need to make as a manager right from the beginning. You will need to decide which game world you want to participate in. 
     
     
    1a) decide on a game world
     
    In gameplanhockey, right now, there are 8 game worlds, as you can see in the following screenie:
     

     
    All game worlds consists of 5 leagues and 80 teams. They differ in the pace of updates. There are 4 different pace levels.
     
    Slow: 1 match per day
    Normal: 2 matches per day
    Fast: 4 matches per day
    Lightning: 8 matches per day
     
    P.S. Currently there is one game world type, which is the European style, but Anders did mentioned a second type in his interview with Chris from 3 Feb 2015:
     
     
    So, all NHL fans have to wait a bit for the North American game world, but the good news is that it will be coming.
     
    Since i could not decide on whether to play an European or North America style yet, my only decision to make was "how many games do i want to play per day". I decided to go for game world "Echo", which is a slow paced game world, meaning 1 match per day.
     
    P.S. don't worry about choosing the wrong game world. After joining a game world you can always resign from your team and start a new career with an other team in a different game world.
     
     
    1b) found a team, customize it or not?
     
    After making a decision on the game world, complete the signup process and the system will start finding a team for you. You will be redirected to the following screen:  You will be assigned to a random team. It can be a team with already a history or not (it depends whether the game world is brand new or not). Here you can either take over the team and/or customize all the details of the team. You can customize the team name, city, logo and colours: 

     
    I have decided to change nothing of the team. I am happy to start my career as GM of the Rio Grande City Bandits, who currently sit 1st in the BHL (Bronze Hockey League).
     
    P.S. as a new rookie manager you will always start in one of the 3 lower leagues, there are 5 leagues, all have different promotion/relegation rules, which i will be discussing later:
    Golden Hockey League Silver Hockey League Bronze Hockey League Iron Hockey League Lower Iron Hockey League   
    1c) manager welcome screen
     
    After you have customized a team and taken it over you will redirected to the manager welcome screen.
     
    This is the page that you will see every time you log on to gameplanhockey.

     
    When you see this screen the first time, you will notice a game hint in the form of a black box (see above). On every page in gameplanhockey you will see these hints popup. I advice you to read them one by one as it really helps you understand the game. You can disable the hints in the settings area, which you can access by clicking on action -> settings, as seen in the following screenshot, where i also clicked away the hint to see what's behind it  
     

     
    Turns out to be a message box. Cool, here the system will keep you posted about all the news surrounding your team (i.e. match results, injuries, transfers, player awards, etc)
     
    Well that's the start of my career and the end of this first post. I have signed up, joined a game world and signed for a team. Stay tuned for more...
