    Lol, I guess you have pretty ugly cousins :P

     

    Anyway, back to math class for you ;)

     

    But I think that more interesting is the fact that 7 out of 11 last PO finals (including this season) were between Vandals and Protons and only one final (in S12) was without either Vandals or Protons (since S4 inclusive). For me, this is impressive and I guess for the rest of the league, this is very annoying :) Sorry about that.

    I don't want to make changes for this PO, but at the end the season or next season, I will be looking for:

    - GHL top line sniper, left-handed, any age, but high OVR and good history of goals scored and performances

    - physical, checking player for 3rd/4th line

    - young center with reasonable faceoff skill for my affiliate with some room for training 

    - future no. 1 GHL goalie

     

    I can offer - pick(s), older players with great experience, young talented players (mostly from my affiliate). Untouchable list is not definitive, you can PM me some offer with untouchable players involved.

    Day 61 update:  

     

    With the StrayCats win over the Sabercats last night, they actually pounced (see what I did there?!?) to 6th place!  Also, Vandals slid into the #1 spot again.  

     

    Tonight's key matchup: 

    #2 Pegasus (105) vs #4 Rebels (103) with either team potentially in first place with a win. 

     

    And in the end we managed to squeeze into 1st place. Incredible 4 teams scramble for 1st place. 5 games left and the leader is changing everyday.

    At least (if this is still valid), there is no penalization on lining center on wing :)

     

    And yes, the problem is that the training speed of faceoffs is correlated with number of faceoffs taken. That makes sense, sure, but it should be faster in juniors and affiliates, because if other skills are trained faster, you will end up with the player I have 91 OVR, all the skills 89+ and 80 Faceoff - you cannot leave such player in affiliate so he can take loads of faceoff, you put him on your team, but if he takes a lot of faceoffs, he will loose a lot of them and your puck possession and chances will decrease.

    I'm basically rotation all training focuses, but he received a lot of general for sure.

     

    That is true Jiihee only in limited way. Until very recently it very easy to train players to 95+ OVR (which means many 99 skills) if you started in good age with enough talent. And it looked like Faceoff is either one of the slowest to train or players get lower Faceoff then other skills at beginning (or both). I'm not saying it is a bad thing and it is the same for everyone, but it is a bit frustrating and if the player has really bad faceoff compared to other skills, he should not be listed as center.

    It was probably already mentioned here, but it would be great to tweak training of faceoffs skill for centers. I have 21yo center, who is 91 OVR and he has Faceoffs skill of 80, which is by 9 the lowest skill he has. I understand there might be centers not good at Faceoffs, but with this large margin there is only one name for them - wingers!

    He is taking plenty of faceoffs and still he train all the other skills faster. At 21yo, he gets like 1 Faceoff skillup per season, so he will never be 99, perhaps not even 90, while he will be otherwise top player. 

    And it is similar for many other young centers I have or I saw out there. There are few great faceoff takers, usually very high on draft, but that's like 2 players per draft.

    When I was writing that today, I realized and wanted to mention Hawks is underperforming so far this season - in points, PPP, avg. performance. But he pulled 2 G night with one PPG, his PP unit scored twice and he had 81 performance. I'm so happy I got him to my team by default. And he is still good to have 3 more seasons I hope :)

    I have probably too many defenders in my affiliate, so I can let go one or two - they are all young (18-24 yo), decent OVR (80-84) and nice low contracts. Suitable for SHL or GHL affiliate. Send me a message or offer. Fouquereau is not on the table.

     

    In return I prefer pick or young(-ish) center for my affiliate.

    Oh sh..., now there are 9 teams above 90 OVR... I remember S12 (not so long ago, right?), when I was the only one. This is going so fast we will soon have a full 90+ roster (I need just 4 F and 1 C to achieve that and surprisingly after long time I have no problems with cap space anymore, so it is doable - not that I want or will do that, but possible).

    I wouldn't say shocking... I think so many cup finals in a row were more shocking. GHL is getting more even every day and usually up to 14 teams can easily go for the cup (maybe 16, but the last two teams are usually for some reason point-wise far away) - yes, they have to make to the PO first, but look at Marauders... two times champion and now 12th without any significant changes to their team. And it's not that surprising - they were only 6 points form the PO and even in the 2 cup seasons, they were in the regular season group that does fight for the PO until the end of the season. With 6 extra points they would be one the cup favorites again.

    Well, we did last season... in GHL history this is our worst result... two times in a row ending in PO round 1 (Playoff 2). Last time before that it was S2, which was our first in GHL.

    True and it is hard to say without any other information about the player. But for example Max Lang (the one I know from GHL) - he is Swiss nationality and I would say that with high probability he would be very typical guy from German speaking part of Switzerland with no Asian ancestor. 

     

    But anyway, it is nice list and you did great job. I would like to see some Asian leagues and more nationalities in GPHM. And I want the national teams.

    Wow, nice effort!

     

    But how can you tell Lang is Asian descent? I know many central European (also UK and USA) people named Lang and for most fo them I'm 100 % sure they have no Asian origin. Simply because lang means long in German. And it is quite typical to have surnames from adjectives in Germany, Austria, Czech R. etc.

    The same goes for Jung, very typical German surname.

    I have similar report about CAREER HIGHLIGHTS. I noticed recently, that some history is missing - signings, trades, completely or partially.

     

    For example:

    • Season 8, GHL, Traded from Rome Trojans to West Chicago Protons for

    The player I traded him for is still in the game, in the same league (GHL), so I wonder why this information si missing (I understand if the player retired or is non-playable league), but this is not the case. 

     

    Some players have detailed history from S1-S6 (roughly), but miss almost all the details (signings, trades) from S6-S10 and after that it is again ok. 

     

    As a suggestion it would be nice to have CAREER HIGHLIGHTS tab only for individual/team accomplishments (best scorer, promotion, cup won) and add separate TAB for trade and signings (also draft perhaps) history with more detailed information (full trade with clickable players, maybe even pick transferred to what player has been picked... etc.). That would be awesome.

    Update (I traded few players and I noticed Andrushchenko is 2W contract this season :) ):

     

    BORYS Andrushchenko - http://www.gameplanhockey.com/player?gpid=15741

    88 OVR 29yo forward, sniper or powerforward that always performed very well in every role he played in my team, over 76 avg performance in GHL, 81 this season so far! 2W contract (so he is interesting for SHL as well - can be great sniper for 1st line there). Pick or young player forward/center in return.

     

    LORIK Oneal - http://www.gameplanhockey.com/goalie?gpid=5550

    83 OVR 24yo goalie, under very cheap, but 1W, contract. Can give him "for free" if you need backup goalie in case of injury.

    He was my 1st round GHL pick, but it was a mistake to sign him under 1W contract (I did that shortly before affiliates were introduced... lol).

    All my goalies have decreased fit (in health) right now... even if they haven't played a single game so far (not since end of regular season 12).  I guess that's true for all the teams. Why is that?

    It would be nice to see who is who in here... I know most GHL managers, but I'm not sure for lower leagues... 

     think I switched off the signatures a while back, because the were a mess. Are they working again?
