  1. Well......The new Rhinos manager didn't last long
  2. Great thread! I think we need to get more activity in the forum for our game world I know its early days but I think its great to see none of the usual teams in the top 3. Would love to see a really close season
  3. I really like this idea, although I think there are other features such as affiliate teams which need developing before Your suggestion reminds me a little of the scouting in the NHL game for xbox/ps4 etc. Prospect stats are hidden, so you have to assign scouts to a particular league/country. The longer your scouts spend there, the more stats for those prospects playing there are revealed.
  4. One of my prospect goalies has been named captain of his team, maybe not being able to select a goalie as captain of your own team is a bug?
  5. I've been thinking recently when trying to put together some trades, it would be great to be able to see a trade history with the team your making an offer to, maybe displaying what trades you have offered them in the past and if it was accepted/rejected. I've found myself occasionally offering a trade that I've previously offered before Also, if players on your trade block match the transfer needs of another team. Would it be a good idea to have these teams displayed somewhere as 'trade partners'? Makes it much easier then going to each team trying to find a match for a player you are looking to move
  6. +1 Was only thinking the other day that corsi would be a good addition
  7. Yeah I guess it's unlikely they would win, was only an idea anyway :-)
  8. Yeah, as in every team in each world would take part in their own cup competition Round 1 - LIHL/IHL Teams (16 games) Round 2 - add the BHL Teams (16) Round 3 - add the SHL Teams (16) Round 4 - add the GHL Teams (16) Round 5 - Quater Final (4) Round 6 - Semi Final (2) Round 7 - Final (1) One game per round, winner moves on to the next round. So that's a maximum of 7 extra games through the season (that's assuming a LIHL/IHL went all the way) I do like the idea of an international tournament, but this way each team/manager gets to be a part
  9. What would people think to a cup competition for each world that takes place during the season? Maybe something similar to the FA Cup in English soccer where all teams are involved but the top teams come in at a later round to give the lower league teams a chance to progress. I realise on paper the GHL teams would have a huge advantage but maybe ambitious players from lower league teams who play well in big games should get an extra boost when playing the big clubs? Just thinking it's something extra to compete for?
  10. What if players who aren't getting many games or much ice time could become unhappy and request to leave a club? This might stop the bigger clubs hanging onto players they aren't using?

    Season 4

    Hey Everyone! Been playing since back in the Prototype days with Yucca Vikings/Grizzlies and now Canmore Grizzlies since Canadian cities were added (although I'm a Brit Canmore, AB is one of my favourite places) Started off game world Biscuit in the BHL and managed to pick up a good crop of young players from FA, most of those players have seen me through getting promoted back to back seasons to the GHL. I would have been happy with a mid table GHL finish in the first season there, but after a couple of good trades we quickly found ourselves pushing for the top of the table. Again I was happy to ride this out and not sacrifice any of my young players in bad trades for a quick win and we ended up finishing 3rd just a few points behind the leaders. Then came the playoffs and we somehow rallied all the way to winning the Golden Cup! Pretty much unchanged for Season 4 other than a couple of depth free agent signings so I'm hoping for a good year :-) Good luck to everyone this season!
  12. For the minute, but that could all change pretty quickly! I've been trying to think long term, going after players who are young and naturally talented then giving them enough ice time to develop
  13. Hello! Yucca Grizzlies in the SHL, been playing around 7 months. Really enjoying it so far!
  14. Really like the idea of a trade block! how about a trade block section in Transfers where you can set your teams needs?, maybe your looking for an offensive defenceman? this would help other teams in putting together a trade that your looking to make Will traded players keep their current salary even if they have come from a higher league?
  15. Hey, I'm now into my second season with Game Plan Hockey Manager, really enjoying playing so far! I actually really like the fact that all the players/teams are made up as it forces you to look deeper into the stats and decide how a player fits into your team, rather than relying on the fact that a player is good in real life so therefore must be good in the game. Anyway, just thought I would share a few ideas I had for improvements: Minor Injuries - Players should be able to pickup minor injuries which don't stop them playing, but reduce their effectiveness. Maybe a major injury becomes a minor injury for a couple of weeks before a player returns, allowing you to risk them in the lineup or they become injured further? Pull the goalie - There should be an option in tactics to pull your goalie in the final minute of the game, perhaps you could set this to 'never/if down by one goal/if down by two goals'? Outcome of fights - We're notified when a player takes a penalty for fighting, but does anyone actually win the fight? is there a positive/negative effect on the team. If so, could we set if our team should fight only if needed or go looking to fight and intimidate the other team Per game tactics - I thought it would be good if you could set additional tactics that apply to only the next match. For example, if you feel the other team has a particular line/player that is dangerous, you could focus on shutting down that line/player. This could work both ways as focusing too much on a particular player could open up space for others. Also it would be great to be able to agitate a particular player, maybe to put a star player off his game?, this could be countered by adding a tough player to the line to provide protection if the start player is 'gentle' Keep up the great work!
