EXXEO

Both in Biscuit and Clapper, I was unable to access or see any of the results of the previous day's matches until after the day had changed. Is this a new thing or a potential bug? Anyone else experiencing this or is it just me?

An update on Zombie Hamilton is attached...boy, it is almost comical! Haradrim I'd love to see Zombie Como's progression graph!

Just opening it up for people to chat about the season . Feel free to express yourself - this is a safe place to air out your GPH troubles. I'll start, my name is EXXEO and my Clapper team sucks this season! My goalies all have problems facing the right way in the net...one guy (he's 18) picks up more girls phone numbers while in net than actual pucks in front of the net...tool bag! And oh the pick I gave up to get him

I think my team in the BHL is trying to set an all time new record for the number of times a team can finish third without a promotion in the playoffs!

Well, Hamilton has now lost 9 points in overall skill this season - anyone looking for a veteran Forward at a good price?

The next Morning's Top Cat's inbox message states "Assistant Worried about Angus Veau-Sylvian" ...Haradrim clicks on message... "Your Assistant is sad to inform you that Veau-Sylvain is now a zombie, has dropped 47 points in overall skill and has opted to now use reclaimed Segway parts for a prosthetic leg."

Maybe that can be a new aspect to the play-by-play....the zombie inserted notes. Top cats' Angus Veau-Sylvain looses fight to Savage Storm's Junior Hamilton. Next line... Beau-Sylvain will be out the rest of the season with a missing leg and multiple bite lacerations!

My zombie scored on you guys...with your Forward's Leg! But in all reality, that was a good game in Clapper today!

Someday I may see the GHL but for now I'm still stuck in the BHL - been here forever!

I agree with that for sure!

My guy just set an all time new record for the biggest cliff dive in a professional hockey career and is now dropping a point daily! Yup, he dropped another point today...by the end of this season he may be dead!

My guy just dropped another point too, from 92 to 88. Feeling a lot of regret of that new context he signed last season for him to hang out with my team for another 3 seasons . At this rate he'll be in the 60s OVR at the end of his contract. I'm ok with it happening to one guy on my team but I just had two other older players start showing signs of decay...it will be interesting to see if they gain the same amount of downward spiral.

My assistant just gave me another notice regarding the player I mentioned previously - he just dropped again...3 OVR in under a week! Looks like were going to have to go with something more potent than a multi-vitamin...hmmm...anyone have Shawn Horcoff's #?

I personally liked the positive remark about your Goalie's solid checking...did he come off the bench during a fight and deck some people?

The player I was referencing in this post got injured today - checked out what kind of injury we were looking at- "5 days from being old"!

I received a message two days ago that one of my older players had dropped in his ability, today II received the same message from my scout voicing his concern once more. I expect a decline in old guys but this guy seems to have caught some fatal illness or something. I've announced to all my staff that we need to stock up on Centrum Silver as there is a shortage and we can't risk our guys loosing their edge without their multi-vitamin! Anyone else seeing this? Is this normal?

So I have one player on my trade block in Clapper and I've now received a trade offer twice from the CPU team that wants him. The offer is good but I can't accept it because it would put the CPU in the red by 320K. I tried to counter offer with two different options to free up their cap but they rejected my offers. Also, I enjoy how difficult it is to acquire certain players from the CPU, it really makes you have to give up something of value (most times) to acquire what you're looking for but in some instances it seems like the team you're on doesn't like how much you have to give up in order to get the player. For instance; trade on my end would look something like a 73 OVR 18 YO prospect (that, according to them, is something they need) who is a green TRV + a first round draft pick (green TRV) for the CPU player who is a 77 OVR. So my questions are: has anyone ran into the CPU giving offers but being finicky in return and what would be a good solution for curving cheating while allowing the user to offer up a big prize in return? I'd even be ok with the CPU shutting me down because they see a value rather than my own board being unhappy with what I'm willing to spend.

Hmmm...

Speaking of Draft picks - in Clapper, I'm currently sitting at 14th and was saved by the playoffs so technically speaking I should be sitting at third in the draft right? The team above me in 13th currently has the 1st overall pick while the players who just got promoted sit at 2 and 3. What's up with that?

I lost my chance at promotion via Playoffs again this season...I think I'm 0 for 5 on that now! This last ones as a bitter pill to swallow. In the second game the match went into OT. When I checked the play-by-play, the OT happenings ended after 30 seconds and then it went immediately into the shootout (photo attached) where my team ultimately lost the series. The first game also went into overtime but the OT went the full 5 as the last play was at 4:30. So, what happened to the full overtime and what if we just got rid of shootouts during the playoffs?

Yeah, essentially but also include a drop down option that allows the player stats for the entire team to show different time frames rather than just the entire season

So I know Anders is digging into stat expansion but it would be quite nice to see a breakdown of player stats (for the team and individual screens) that show a breakdown of stats for the previous 7 days, 15 days, and maybe 30 days. Cheers

I agree with Haradrim on the schedule and the challenge in the GHL. I think Biscuit and Clapper have great competition, especially in the BHL and GHL. It kinda feels as if those are the two spots are where serious players pool up. The BHL in general gets a lot of teams that are quite good and look to promote while the SHL stays more open with CPU controlled teams so it, in a sense, is just a transitional stage to some extent.

I looked at my current offers board earlier today since my clapper team did not sign the defenseman I thought we would sign the day previous. Come to find out the only contract offer that was visible was for one of my prospects. Since I needed another defenseman I dove back in and did a little more research and offered another defenseman a contract. At the time it said I had near 5.4 Million of cap space when signing the other defenseman (so in the cap it even appeared as if I didn't have another contract offered). I get on later today to see if anyone accepted my contract offers and found that I had signed two defenseman - the mysterious disappearing contract and the most recent visible contract. This had also put my cap space in the negative as I had just signed three players rather than 2. Anyone else experienceing this?

I would really like to know what my players are thinking also...I have 4 entry level contracts that I want to re-sign but all of them are happy with their contract situation. This makes it quite challenging to figure out what my teams true budget needs to be for the upcoming season. There is probably some reality to that but has anyone seen a timeline on when these youngsters are willing to re-negotiate a new contract?
