    Trades S9

    Hi. Season 10 starting and people will start (re-)building some teams. I just got promotion from Iron league to Bronze. Here are my main team players i got for offer (i will use season 10 ages): Main team players: Lund (Forward, 77 ovr 24 years, powerforward, purposeful, 78 rating on matches on IHL 1st line) - will ask high pick or pick + useful (1st liner) player Divila (Center, 71 ovr 28 years, playmaker, 73 rating on matches on IHL 4th line) Kovalchuck (67 ovr 28 years, Grinder but pretty much does any role "ok" and i used him as powerforward and 2way, 73 rating on matches on IHL 4th line, made 18 goals and 5 assists) Fojtik (Center, 63 ovr 29 years, playmaker, 70 rating on matches on IHL) And here are some juniors i could trade to IHL and BHL (i think non of them are worth in SHL but if you guys up there are interested, send some offers). Prospects: Felix Demko, 68, 19yo, center, ambitious 2way very (expensive (potential, nice skills) Racim Comtois, 66, 18yo, forward, ambitious sniper (very expensive potential, 80 shooting) Slavomír Licko, 65, 19yo, center, enthustiatic sniper (midprice 70 shooting) Friderik Kastelic, 65, 18yo, forward, lazy sniper (expensive 79 shooting) Konstantin Shapovalov, 64, 20yo, defender, lazy stayathome (cheap, lacks some skills, slow training) Francesco Scurto, 62, 18yo, forward, ambitious sniper (expensive, potential, 71 shooting) Yan Abramowicz 61, 20yo, defender, halfhearted stayathome (cheap, lacks some skills) Ed Fogarty, 61, 19yo, forward, enthustiatic sniper (midprice, 70 shooting) Dario Galli, 61, 20yo, forward, purposeful powerforward (midprice, performs well enough) Avery Aylward 57, 19yo, forward, ambitious sniper (cheap, 64 shooting) Basically my team is too full of young players and i can't take more to my team to train. Some of them are getting old (last season) and some i might be able to take next season or i know they will be wanted (those i rate expensive or very expensive). Cheap and Midprice ones i don't care that much - but i am not giving those out for free. --- I'm looking: - 1st line center with nice faceoff, endurance should be over 80, prefer playmaker but powerforward, 2way and sniper might do too - goalie (whose all stats should be over 70, endurance and spirit might be less, overall bigger than 72, should be at least mid-size [at least 174 and 5,7], i will look at his past performance, should have more than 89,5% on at least IHL, appreaciate some BHL level experience.. can be older one but can't have very long contract) - picks (any picks) - prospects (especially young goalies, any defenders and powerforwards) - cheap (probably old but with some skills and some endurance) 3rd and 4th line-players (centers and forwards) Link to my team: http://www.gameplanhockey.com/team?gpid=133

    So all trades during this season was with humans then.. since every team i made trade this season had that blue dot in standings screen. Unless transfers/transactions doesn't show all. I see only 4 of my trades (plus free agent/prospect signings). So did i get lock from last seasons trades? Last season there might have been few cpu trades (i found one on transaction day 1 trade with nightcats and day 5 with Devil rays). But most of the important ones (like both bhl 1st round pick and 2nd round pick trades that were swapped to shl 1st and 2nd since they both got promoted and the one where i gave more than i received since the trade i made with the same guy before wasn't useful to him after he got promoted and we both were surprised on how picks will be swapped upon promotion/relegation). You can send me pm or point out in this topic the unfair trades with the bot.. Again, sorry for the huzze.. i feel like i've made mistake and am sorry about it. But at the same time i'm asking about this because i want to learn about my mistakes and i want to see where i went wrong. I'm not acting dumb (i honestly didn't find other cpu trades from transaction section) nor do i act like i didn't do anything wrong.. nor am i playing victim.

    Have I? My trades this season have been with: Woodpeckers - I have pm'ed with Jon Carignan Wolves - Is he a bot? This guy i think i didn't have pm conversations with. But i see many others doing trades too (Groove, Admirals).. also in league page it shows that blue dot.. if i hower my mouse next to it says "user".. also i find coach name of that team in "new message" coach list.. Groove - i had long back and front talk with Mark Ziegler Black Flag - Xavier O'connor, i had talks with him last season so i know his trade preferences.. this time i didn't pm him.. is he cpu now? Why does same coach name show on his team then? Could you point out teams that are cpu.. i somehow don't see who is cpu or not. Is it best just to pm before every trade to make sure it's human? Sorry for the hustle..

    I'm not 100% sure but i think all were green this time. And if that was the case, then i'd like to know it. How can we coaches learn to do the right thing if we are not told what was wrong in our actions?

    Ok.. someone needs to shapeup a bit. Why can't we have "ask 1st and shoot then"-diplomacy here? I made some trades (with humans, i had talks about every trade but i think one.. but i had talks with him last season and knew that he prefers young players and prospects over picks, look at his team, look how many 21 or under he has, last season he didn't have any picks left). I made so many trades that i don't know WHICH one was the "trigger" for this report (that resulted to 2 day account locked this time). The one who does either these reports or mods these locks should at least PM both coaches and ask "why do you think this trade was fair" or "what did you get from this trade". Right now it feels bit like someone is jealous that they didn't get those players or those picks.. i wouldn't mind if this was because of CPU abusement or dual account cheating.. but this was between 2 coaches where BOTH GAINED something. I'm not qutting nor do i see that i suffer much from this lockdown.. i had my lines setup'ed and quite good players left on my team.. 1st games are agains best teams of my league so i might lose them, but at least it's not because of this lock-down.

    Oh shiiiii. I was part of at least one of those trades i believe. Gonna agree, he made smart moves. Those players weren't useful in SHL so he had to trade some of them out asap.. and because of that he couldn't ask "full price".. AI doesn't take notice about what situation it is. Also BHL 3rd pick isn't bad. Yeah, maybe not worth 70+ player.. but then again i made some other trades before (with you) that were much more even and helped us both (i got awesome pick, you got players that helped you promote). Also it's weird that you get penaltized for it. You made the initiate.. and i believe you made all or most of the trades with human coaches.. so.. wtf? I know that computer trades can be abused.. but himan on human trades aren't that big of a deal unless some guy makes multiple accounts and tries to get benefits that way - but that seems not to be case here.. I hope that you'd get your account back asap. AI/report-thingy is way too strict on this case in my eyes. If i knew it would shut your account, i would not have accepted that trade

    Trader S8

    Bermuda Lions, IHL (So BHL, IHL and LIHL, listen) Available: Centers: Simon Malmström, right handed, 69 overall, sniper (shooting 73), performs around 73. Works well in 1st and 2nd line in IHL Svend Henriksen, left, 69 ovr playmaker (pass 80), performs around 70, could be better with more fitting line-setup, lacks endurance (63) so more of a 3rd or 4th line either in IHL or BHL Forwards: Igor Kashirsky, right handed 69 overall, 2way but could be a sniper or playmaker too, i play him on defensive lines, performs between 68 and 74, great for IHL level. Not too keen to trade him out since i would then need to find someone to replace him. But i can use him to fill some gaps in bigger trades. Sem Cole, left 70 overall 2way, 74 performance in defensive line. Even when he lacks size, he has good stats to negate the effects. I don't have space for him since i'm gonna field developing powerforward in my only defensive line. Would work even in 3rd or 4th BHL line. Cheap-ish (around 40k in IHL). Worth his price! Defenders: Adamo O'Hanlon, developing 22 years old right handed offensive defender with 69 overall. LIHL 1st line defender or IHL 3rd liner. At the end of the season might be better. Ambitious nature so should develop quite fast. Defensive skills around 66-68 (except spirit which is 82) and shooting 71 & passing 72. Galen Crouch, 71 overall right defender. Great 2nd or 3rd line stand home type player. Lacks endure a bit (65) but skills are great (70-80 all defensive stats, 77 passing but i wouldn't recommend for offensive defender unless you don't have any better to do the job). Larry Overbey, left side 70 ovr stay home defender. Def stats 71-79. Performance is 75-76!!! I played him usually in my 2nd line. Eric jr Reyes, right side 68 ovr stay at home defender. I'd say that he is more of a reserve than 3rd line IHL defender. Since he is 2-way, i'd recommend some LIHL team to pick him up. Endurance 61 and def stats 66-79. With 73 passing and 61 shooting he could be used in offensive def-line and as a defender in powerplay line. Goalie: Jonathan Södergren, 20 years old goalie with 65 overall. Almost every trait is blue (only "tough" is red, dunno if that trait matters with goalie since they don't have penalty minutes in their stats). Could be ok 2nd goalie for IHL or 1st goalie for LIHL team. I'm looking for: - BHL and IHL draft picks - Prospects with over 60 endurance and blue/green motivation (enthustiatic/ambitious.. etc). - Cheap 3rd, 4th and reserve offensive players (forwards and centers), so 40k or less would be fine. Still would prefer over 60 endurance

    I am being accused of cheating. Don't know which trade caused some manager to think that. Here are reasons for some of the biggest moves i've made: 1) How i got BHL 1st and 2nd round picks: I actually gave some future or current stars (that are useful or will be useful after few seasons of training in BHL) that were too expencive for me. They didn't perform well because i had too many too good players that i just couldn't afford this season. So i pulled some moves and tried to get nice prospects. Instead i got really good draft picks. Nothing scetchy here i suppose. Most of them didn't want to renegotiate contracts so i had to get rid of them some way. Trading fitted me best. It was better for me to get rid of underperforming "stars" that had ratings of 70-77 but performed as well as 66-71 rated players. 2) Why i gave some good players and took some "shittier" ones back: Last season i did one trade with another coach. We had long talks and we countered our offers back and front. We finally got to resolution: i gave ILH-level future promise to him and i had IHL-level pick. Then he was promoted to BHL. What happened? a) My IHL pick was turned to BHL pick The player he though he could use for seasons wasn't competitive enough in BHL so he didn't negotiate contract with that player. I'm good hearted coach and i want to keep good negotiating relations with dudes i like to trade. We had good talks. So because i got SO GOOD PICK (look who i got for him.. heck.. the defender is 18 and i COULD USE HIM ALREADY IN MY TEAM..) for NOTHING. We didn't know that in case of promotion my pick would become better - we agreen on IHL - level pick, not BHL - level one. We agreed upon usable defender, not one to disgerard. So i offered him some good players (that i couldn't afford anyways) for some players i could use and 3rd rounder pick (the pick was for compensation so the trade would bee fair or at least fairer). But i already did some tradings so my offer became invalid. Instead he gave me almost similar offer but now i had to give one pick to him, less good players and i got some players back. The thing is: The players i got are more useful for the team i gave to him. Because these new players are happy and i CAN AFFORD TO KEEP THEM HAPPY. I afford to keep them overall. I see that this one trade was kinda unbalanced but so was the trade we did last season. Together these unbalanced trades are in balance. Also look at my team now. All my defenders have over 70 stat in DEF, PHY, SPI and END. So they will perform well. 2 of my defenders are young and developing players and i still could sneak 3rd developing player in if i wanted to! I'm also happy that i have full 4 lines of players that are decent. Only one star-type that is developing. But it can be enough in IHL. Last season my 77 rated goalie did as well as my now 70 rated one (69 during most of the season). Now i have 18 yo goalie that i'll try to give around same amount of playtime than my 1st goalie gets. I didn't give too much away nor i received too much. I hope that the one who accused of me cheating will read this. Also i hope that because of my reasoning i won't get new accusements. Peace, bye

    Trades S4

    Hi. At this point i can't avoid relegating so i put every 1way player now available for trade. I have 76 ovr Center sniper (very versatile) 81 ovr Right winger sniper (25y, natural/enthusiastic) 78 ovr Right offensive defense-man (in bronze league he has made 2nd most points as defense-man even tho' i'm in last place, still developes) 76 over Left offencive defense-man (still developes) 78 Goalie (22y, natural/ambitious) and many many more players (some have natural or gifted potential and some of them have green or blue ambition too) I want: a ) 2-way players b ) players with 1-way contracts (so i can retire them) c ) cheaper players I prefer a) over b ) and c).. and b ) over c) Gimme offers. Because i'm in desperate situation i am bit "loose" with these trades. I won't accept stupid trades or "unfair" trades. But let's say.. i won't need a 80 ovr player in iron league - if you have spare players with 2-way contracts, you can offer multiple of those for this sniper. I'm Bermuda Sea Lions in Bronze League.
  10. I play on slowest and sometimes free agents make their decisions withing hours (or do they do them always when date changes, when timer resets?). And even the slowest one seems like you have to be online daily, sometimes few times a day. And when season changes, then you gotta be there or everyone else will eat you. (I didn't have any cap this season so i'm not talking talking about only myself in furious tone). I think it's not realistic that (all) players make spit-second-decisions without even considering that they might get better offers. (I might add that this is only a slight disadvantage to some.. there are other major things that i'd like dev to focus on.. like draft and minor leagues.. even the confusion about contract extensions is bigger deal than this..) If dev ever want's to change this some way, i would recommend that managers could have change to give offers (to their players and to FA's) before season ends. They would just start only after new season begins but it would give some managers more equal change to get to players they might want to evolved with.

    Signing

    Singing contracts is confusing. Way too confusing. I had (and still have) old goalie i wanted to get rid off. I offered him contract with 1 (or two years, don't remember). I thought it would replace the old (long) contract. But it actually added one more year to the last contract and changed the salary. Now last night i made two new contract offers to 2 of my players. The younger one had already some years left but was unhappy with salary so i offered bit more expensive contract for 5 years. Older (but still developing) player was also unhappy with his contract but i liked how many years he had.. but i was also happy about that player and considered adding a few.. so i offered two years. I assumed that it would ADD those years to previous like it did few seasons back to my goalie.. instead those years were replaced.. so they got shorter. I think you should either change the contract signing so that there would be either A) you only could replace the years from previous contract, so the number you put would be the years that player will play on your team you only could add contracts on contracts.. like if you input "1" to years, it would add another season, but you could change the salary C) sigining new contract wouldn't change anything (years or salary) on current contracts but you could negotiate new contract that would start after the last one ends (so one player could play me for 1 year for 200 000, i sign new contract, he still plays this season for 200 000 but next 2 seasons he would get 310 000) The problem with C is that only way to change bad contract situations would remove the contract (taking penalty).. unless you changed the happiness-factor including that player would become happy for future-years contract.. but i think that "greed" should factor this happiness-situation and also how willingly player would stay in same team (because it has types like "teamplayer" that would likely to stay.. "mercenary" would be more "opportunistic" and might want to change to bigger leagues). If you hired a player for 5 eýears and 3 years he is "unhappy".. it would just be stick in ass the whole time not playing fully.. (I think i have read something about that "C" making into game at some point.. atleast i think you considered it at some point) (PS: Great game. I posted this only to point out that sometimes contract seasons add to previous and sometimes it replaces last numbers.. which is just confusing)
  12. Maybe this game should make silly/pre season bit longer and give something like 48 hours for free agents time to reply (timer starting from first offer) giving everyone time to join offering. Almost every other hockey manager game with agents have either timers or players having time (usually 48+ hours) to consider all offers.

    Season 4

    I started in BHL when the restart happened (so i was there at season one). First two seasons were good. Season 3 was a struggle. I thought i had semi-ok team and that i could compete play-off spot (didn't think i could promote tho').. but actually the season became even (in middle of season between places 11th and 6th is was only a few points for a long time, i was between those places mostly) and at the end i was struggling to hold 12th place, i actually was 13th for a while too. And i actually made few mistakes in player contracts.. once i tried to modify older player contract from long contract to one-year contract.. somehow i succeeded to ADD ONE MORE EXPENCIVE YEAR to that player. I also have some old players with long contracts i have tried to trade with IHL. This season i have most of the players i had last season.. which is good but also bad.. Competitive-vice i might struggle this season as well. Somehow my goalies are my weakness. They are semigood at many stats but each one of them has one stat that they are bad at. I'll try to hold on BHL but if i go down it actually might help me reorganize for next season.
  14. Hi. My team is Bermuda Sea Lions (because i like seals and Sea Lion was the closest i got.. also Bermuda was "funniest but still familiar" place i found) Currently playing BHL. Last (2nd) season ended 10th and this (3rd) season i have much younger and less talented (but potential) team.. and my goal is to stay in BHL so i don't lose these potential players. I'll also try to re-sign my 1-way contracts to be 2-ways so in case of dropping i'd atleast keep my future stars. It also gives me some moving space in case farm-teams are introduced in a few months. I think it would take 2 seasons to either win league or progress in play-offs (assuming i won't relegate to ihl this season). I started maybe 2 weeks before beta was released and i have played manager games for more than 10 years (with longest game lasting about 7 years in freekick.org until site was hacked and creators took it down forever). I like soccermanagers (because they tend to be better made) but i prefer hockeymanagers (because it has so much more potential and i feel like this game, this site would finally unleach it).
